Signing Day Thoughts

[ShotgunDawg]

- Pretty damn good job by Moorhead to lock up all the commits this year. Hopefully that will afford them some extra time to chase some bigger fish in February. Really need to get Cooper.

- The lack of drama great, but we need to be in the game with bigger recruits & create more drama. Many times lack of drama means you're not competing for players with the big boys. That needs to change

- On that same note, I'm looking to see what Moorhead does in the 2021 class. It'll be his 3rd year & he's supposed to be a "relationship guy; meaning that after developing relationships with big time prospects for 3 years, if JoMo is not able to get us into the top 20 in the recruiting rankings, it's probably never going to happen.

- Not sure why it's so difficult for 247 to get the in-state players in the correct order. We can argue about 3 star or 4 star all day, but it shouldn't be too difficult to at least getting the players in a semi-correct order in the state. It'll be interesting to see how it's adjusted following the MS/AL game. https://247sports.com/Season/2020-Fo...chool&State=MS

- Like out class this year, especially in a down talent year in MS. That being said, this feels like an 8 win class to me with good coaching(Which we don't have). Taking the next step as a program did not happen today, but remaining competitive for mid-level bowl games did. Again, 2021 is Moorhead's 3rd year. His ability to develop relationships has to show next year or it looks like we'll be stuck as long as he's the coach.

- The Lane train may get going at some point, but in looking at their first 7 games next year along with this recruiting class, he'll have to dig OM out of a hole to say the least.

- Along that same note, with OM's DL issues, we may be about to see a record amount of money spent on a recruit in McKinley Jackson. If Jackson signs with OM, we'll know what happened because there is absolutely no reason an undecided DL recruit would choose OM over LSU right now. Not possible. I'm guess his offer will supersede to AJ Brown offer.

- I saw where Maryland just flipped a 5 star WR. How come other schools appears to be able to do that but never us? For goodness sakes, we need a few of these WR recruits to pan out.

- Turned on the Chris Brooks show for 5 minutes only to hear 2 people including a host refer to spreading the talent around as socialist & communist. Again, and I've said numerous times, there are no dumber college football fans that those calling rules & policies that lead to more parity in the sport socialist & communist. Just a absolutely stupid, ignorant comment that displays a complete lack of understanding about what makes sports & entertainment work.
