2022 MSU FOOTBALL RECRUITING Discussion Thread

[Todd4State]

So I’ve seen a few people mention that we should expect some changes in our db recruiting with some commits moving on. I’m guessing we told these guys to look elsewhere?

Depends on how many of our targets commit to us. We got burned a little bit on that Toles guy. I suspect our staff won't do the two birds in the bush thing again this year.

Listening to T&L yesterday it sounds like they expect all but two of our recruits to decommit. Lol?it?s why I don?t keep up with recruiting.

Did they give a reason for that stupid assumption?

[Hambone]

Yea you had a few not come to camp

They didn?t really beyond all of them that have committed except two are still taking visits and most out of state kids that commit to us don?t really want to come to State we are fall back plans. Both Hadad and Faulk said this. We have an odd fan base and even odder media coverage.

Throw in Bo Bounds and you have a circus. These are know nothing talking heads. A sad group. Ill especially call out Hadad who is the token whipping boy for the OM cabal.

Kadarius Calloway leaving Bama going to Scooba Tech. I think we are the front runner for him this time. It will be us or OM

Never saw that coming

Yeah, I feel like if that is the case, that narrative needs to change within our media. That is an extremely negative mindset with a "i'm so lucky to have what I have" narrative. That's a 50 years ago State mindset, lets grow up.

Let Calloway play a semester at Scooba tech and then go sign him in February.

Another example of a MS kid not panning out at Alabama. For every Raekwon Davis that pans out, I can show you 3-4 Kadarrius Calloway's, Nigel Knott's, Scott Lashley's that don't. Someone needs to show Jaheim Oatis.

It should help us with Oatis. Hard to see how it won't

Because Bama will sell him that he's that Raekwon Davis. They're very good at it.

Yes, but they also see him as an OL & have mentioned it.

Plainly, he's not a fit at Bama profile was. Yes Bama is good at selling the brand, but the lack of success by Mississippi kids should be easy to recruit against them with

Plus you have to tell them if they commit to us they are to expect an immediate drop in their rating, because the recruiting outfits love to troll our fanbase, just like the media.

Yeah it was pretty strange to hear a recruiting site media guy (granted, football recruiting isn?t his main focus) saying ?I always expect out of state kids to decommit anyways.? Like, bro, sell your product.

Hadad knows 0 about recruiting. Nor does he make an effort. In the years I?ve watched that website, that?s my one take away.

Eh you could probably say that about our roster in general with big time MS kids over the years. We have had several come here and not do a thing and plenty of under the radar guys that kill it.

[BB30]

Is it really trolling when we finish at about the same clip we recruit at per their rankings? We usually finish a season somewhere between 20-40 in the final rankings and we usually finish in that range in recruiting.

We finish where they want us to finish in the rankings. That's what it's come to.

This is 100% correct.
