It seems like we've hit a lull in recruiting but the truth is this is what Our in season recruiting has been looking like. The 15-17 classes had a combined total of 3 in-season commitments (from game 1 through the Egg Bowl). The only difference is this year we had 7 commits from the 1st of June thru mid July. In years past Mullen would've held those guys until Big Dawg to make it seem like we ended the summer off with a bang & fans were held over during the season. Now you can say JoeMo needs to apply that same tactic to hold fans over but this in season lull is a yearly occurrence not some major letdown by this staff or lost momentum in recruiting.

We will be alright, we have several that were slow walking and can get at any time. Just about everyday on 247 Steve Robertson or Paul Jones have new names at various positions in their Bones and Biscuits columns that are getting interest from our staff. We have the largest recruiting staff we have ever had and the are looking at all sources for players. The they get tape and cut it up for the best parts and send it to the appropriate coach and the HC. This is the hardest working group in recruiting from the HC down that we have ever had. Hail State.

It?s hard to compare years prior to the December signing rule but there was a point after we wiffed on Emery when a lot of top targets vaporized. This year?s class is the best in Mississippi history and we haven?t taken advantage of it to the degree we need to...not championship standard for sure....to me it is concerning that we have 8-9 more spots to fill and we are down to Jucos, projects and diamond in the rough prospects.....

Recruiting has really been nothing but disappointment with this staff since early July especially given the strength of the class in MS. Not sure that can even be argued.

It can be argued.

Does anyone know anything about Handy? He's moved up to the 5th spot on 24/7 for MS prospects. He's committed to Auburn but I have to wonder if they lose this game to Tennessee and end up 6-6 or 7-5 if he might open his recruitment back up.

Auburn is a train wreck at the moment.

Why? You do know players can commit because they have relationship with coaches and really want to go there. It's not all about wins and losses. Hell check the CB's on 247 for Arkansas recruits every week and they are 1-6.

Got it. So I can't ask a question. Sounds reasonable on a recruiting thread on a public message board. Guessing you don't know anything or haven't ever heard of a kid going to another school because the one they are committed to has a bad season. I hope you didn't mean for your post to come off as shitty as it did.

I don't know whether he meant it to come off as shitty or not, but either way I wouldn't worry about it because that guy is easily one of the top 5 shittiest posters on this board.

So I assume Ealy, the best RB in the state, isn't even considering us. Irks me that Ole Miss beat us out on him.

Why? He's never touching a college football field.

Yeah this is a done deal, has been for a long time. He'll be in the minor leagues next summer, with a lot of money in the bank.
