    Are we getting very close to shutting down our season?

    Yep we are down to scout team players getting major playing time. They better get on the recruiting trail soon. Spring will be JUCO season, go get some studs and convince the good ones we have to stick around another year or two.

    Can only sign the limit we're stuck with. Losing guys doesn't allow us to sign 30+.

    Wasn't talking about numbers but quality. Also got to re-recruit the good players we got.

    We aren't losing any recruits minus possibly one. We've got a top 25 class. Just need to finish up OL and defense.

    When it's all said and done, we won't be Top 30. For example, we have 21 commits. Penn State only has 14 commits. A lot of schools are going to leap frog us.

    Probably, but our best recruits are at QB and WR where this offense rolls. I'm ok with a top 30. OM is like over 50.

    Better sign some quality Olinemen and Dlinemen.

    Agreed but at the end of the day how much blame can leach take for this class not being great?

    MS this year simply has no DL or OL. Leach can -and has- gone out of state to get WRs and QBs, but lineman aren't going to give his name special attention.

    Ultimately our recruiting will hang on in state crop. It's why the Florida and Texas schools are considered good jobs, the instate talent is always there.

    Murphy has an actual excuse to opt out with his kid's illness.

    But that's not the reason he's opting out. Apparently, a practice earlier this week before everything got shut down got pretty intense. Might see another player leave soon.

    I don't know what happened at practice or who the other player is.

    Hmmm....sounds like a leadership problem.

    Starting to think it would have been much better for our program if we had had no season and just started back with a full Spring Practice next year to implement this offense. Its obvious that a Fall camp and during the season is not adequate to start doing what we're doing with players that have never been in this kind of system before.

    Truth be told, we need to worry about more than just out-recruiting them...

    No they are just a bunch of prima donnas that can?t take the heat in the kitchen and need to get the fU?? out of the way for those that can.
    This is a microcosm of our entire culture these days
    No competitive fire, no belief in no I in Team, no leadership, no guts - I don?t want these type of guys on our Miss St team - period!
    Enjoy minimum wage in W Point when you may could have had an opportunity in the NFL.
    17 em all !!
