Biggest Recruiting What If's

[StarkVegasSteve]

In honor of signing day who are your biggest recruiting what if's in State history?

1. Keyshawn Johnson- The chance to have Keyshawn and Moulds in the same offense would've been electric.

2. Lamar Jackson- He was leaning State at one point in the process.There's more to the story of how that went wrong, but I won't publicly air that on a message board. We could've gone Dak to Lamar and that brings me to number 3.

3. Jalen Hurts- Dan just couldn't keep him hidden from Saban. I think we would've gotten AJ had Hurts signed. Dak->Lamar->Hurts.

4. Raekwon Davis- Boy those 45 minutes he was committed were fun. Raekwon, Montez, and Jeff on the defensive front is fun to think about.


Who else y'all got?

What if OM got Chris Jones to go with nkemdiche? They may have won it all in 2015

Obviously cam Newton should be #1 imo

It hurt too much to add him.

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Ndamukong Suh was a big time lean here at one point. I even think his sister played a sport here. Soccer or Volleyball maybe ?

Would have been another great D Lineman here.

We were very close on Ndamukong Suh. His sister played soccer at MSU. Nebraska won out. But were in the final 2 or 3. His sister was the only reason we were in it.

Did Croom not tell him he thought he was lazy?

[StarkVegasSteve]

Ted Ginn Jr is another one. Croom thought he was only a return specialist.

[TrapGame]

Steve McNair.

Jackie didn't want him as a QB.

[Goldendawg]

Why did we not offer Jerry Rice? Hugh Greene and Rooster Jones were also "stolen" by Jackie while he was at Pitt.

[BankerDog]

LaMichael James, Jalen Ramsey (or was it Greg Reid?? Mullen?s first or second class I think), DeMeco Ryans, Akeem Dent played in the league for a little bit, the Alexander brothers.

[PikeDawg15]

What if our 2018 team had DK Metcalf and AJ Brown with Dan Mullen as head coach.

What if we didn't destroy our football program by ditching the AR in the 2023 recruiting cycle? -KB

1. Cam Newton. We win 10+ with a legit shot at the championship.

2. Jerry Rice.


Jimmy Butler on the basketball side of things

From a basketball standpoint Travis Outlaw skipping for the NBA was a huge loss.

He probably would have started at the 3 guard in Shane Power's spot on the 03-04 basketball team that won the SEC.

We would have been a legit NC contender with that lineup.

Timmy Bowers
Winsome Frazier
Travis Outlaw
Brandon Vincent
Lawrence Roberts

Oh no!!! Don't pick up where he left off! I thought we were trying to forget him or IGNORE him?

[Maverick91]

Yall just made me so sad. I didnt know where we’re in the hunt for some of these. Man what if!

Cam Newton and we would have beaten Oregon in the National Championship game. No doubt.

[archdog]

Don't forget Monte Ellis and Jonathan Bender.

[archdog]

I feel like Winsome Frazier was a 80% from 3 shooter. I just do not remember him missing shots. I also remember him defending JJ Reddick like a champ.
