2019 Recruiting Thread

Fred Peters composite is wrong. He's a 4* on espn & Rivals & an 87 on 247 but his composite .8517. There's a glitch somewhere.

That's hilarious

[Jack Lambert]

247 will simply manipulate the rankings during the final week to make sure that the blue bloods (largest membership groups) end up in the top ten.

Florida must not be a blue blood because they went down in rankings.

[msbulldog]

Peters is a good pick-up, if nothing else but depth!

[maroonmania]

We have a better shot at Mingo albeit small.....So who do we lead for other than Witherspoon and Lawrence?

Apparently we should just quit wasting our time recruiting the top WRs in MS since they are all going to continue to go to OM no matter how many they already have on the roster and no matter that they will continue to suck as a program. SO frustrating.

[maroonmania]

Neither guy will be Day 1 players. They could potentially help down the line.

What do we have to sell WR on to get big time kids here? No NFL WR & our offense hasn't shown itself yet to be WR friendly. Kids are trying to get to the league & want to know you can get them there.

No we're not really on Scurry or Watkins anymore.

Usually the biggest selling point is to commit a big time QB prospect first. Heck, when OM committed Eli Manning or Shae Patterson they drew a host of top WRs with them. Not sure how Schrader is viewed by WR prospects but I'm surprised that Schrader's commitment along with JoMo's reputation for wanting to throw the ball is getting a little more interest from some decently rated WRs.

This kid is a project at best....he will need a red-shirt year just to learn the position. If things don't work out he could move to DB. It's a sad commentary that that's where we are with RB recruiting but it is what it is. Next year we will have to get by with Hill/Gibson/Rivers(walk-on), hopefully we can do better in 2020.

A big time QB helps but it's not above putting kids in the league & showing you will throw it around. Before OM signed Shea they already had Wallace & Kelly who had put up huge #'s passing. Also Eli & Shea were the #1 QB's in the country so that's a lil diff than a 4* pull. Everybody in the country knew Shea.

JoeMo reputation doesn't matter to MSU. Kids have to see it at MSU. Kids saw Mullen at Florida with Harvin, Demps, & Rainey but we never got those style of players here.

Yep. Until we start putting receivers in the League it's going to be tough to recruit top notch WR's. It's really a catch-22.

[Cooterpoot]

None of the MS WRs this year are can't miss prospects. If OM wasn't loosing 3 WRs this year, they wouldn't touch the field next year. Mingo is likely a DB at OM.

Didn't DD Bowie transfer?

Where did Jamal Couch land?

Depth? He's gonna have to start. Have to.

[msbulldog]

Yes, Itawamba I think
Hinds catching the heck out of passes.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

DD went to Northwest but I don't think he's there anymore.

You're thinking of Reggie Todd & outside of that 1 big half where he scored 3 TD's he's not done much of anything this season.

Do you wear your 'maroon colored glasses' to bed at night?

Are you happy with our recruiting at RB, WR & LB?

It would help if we told them that they would play early. At least that's how I would sell it.

I'm sure we are but results speak louder than words & right now we don't have the results to sell.

Nope, but repeating it every other page of this thread for four months ain't heppin' anything bro. Everyone on here knows of your discontent to JoMo's recruiting ability

[Todd4State]

Well, I've seen teams that are complete dumpster fires find a way to recruit to fix their weaknesses. We should be able to do that as well. Also, we had Heath an UA AA in our class last year and it looks like we lead for Mason and Harmon in the future so I think we will get it fixed eventually.

Would have helped if we recruited better 2-3 years ago but there's nothing any of us can do about that at this point except watch the clown show.

I'm personally just tired of the excuses. Just go get some WRs that can catch and make plays! Heck, I see Group of 5 schools EVERY WEEK with MUCH better WRs than we have. And we actually had some of the best WRs in our program's history during a time when we were running the dad blame wishbone (Danny Knight, Marty McDole, Glen Young). We've been giving our coaches a pass for too long for not getting any effective WRs into our program. I mean heck, Eric Moulds is the only WR we've put into the NFL worth anything in the past 40 years so are we just going to say because of that 'woe is us, we just can't get nobody'?
