2019 Recruiting Thread

He was originally a 4 star and they bumped him down.

This. He got the typical treatment a lower end 4 star gets when they commit to MSU. They get the bump down to a high end 3 star.

It would be interesting to see how a team's 4- or 5-year recruiting rank average might correlate with their post-season rank. I bet our final rank would be higher than expected in light of our recruiting rank because of our under-ranked small school prospects and the MSU-associated rank drop.

Thats not what one of our coaches said but hey another one may have told you something different.

He could easily play QB. He would be hellacious at Auburn or here.

I've known the kid for a long time. I'm just telling you the situation told to me. Same with the OM talk. That was basically what they said. Dan Mullen offered Plumlee. Jo isn't who offered him. But State was one of his first P5 offers. He could go to an option program and play QB there maybe, but he's not a good passer. He's chasing baseball more than football too. He knows he's never going to be an NFL guy. Marcus Murphy is a better safety. So is the kid we redshirted.
If he want's to play, actually touch the field next year, then OM might be it for P5 programs.

You hit it right on the head. Baseball is big for him.

We may have a big flip coming also. Waiting to hear more.

Would be yuge.

He may still end up MLB, but with our baseball prowess, you never know...

That would chap some asses.

What's funny is how much recruiting rankings matter to people; me included.

It's just amazing to me that, with the heavy likely hood that Ealy never plays a down of college football, that Ole Miss fans are more proud of their recruiting because of the ranking Ealy provides.

Not sure about you guys, but I'm proud when we get players that will help us win games, At least that is what is logical.

I'd love Ealy to flip, but I just laugh at myself & others that get excited about it.

Here is what is funny about Ealy.

If Ealy flipped to MSU, MSU's recruiting class would be ranked 13th in the country & OM's would fall to 24. All for a guy that likely won't play football.

That's why its funny, UNM doesn't care about filling their needs just go get numbers that make it look good.

I tend to agree, but you still never know what choice a kid will make. I'd rather have him committed with the chance he opts to stay and play 2 sports, than not.

It's odd to me that his rating isn't being affected by his pro baseball prospects when factors like grades risk and years to contribute typically factor into any given prospect's rating so heavily.

The part that I love the most is the spin zone that Ole Miss fans (and fans in general) put out when kids like Ealy commit/flip to the rival school. "Oh he'll never make it to [insert school name], he is going pro in baseball, he won't ever make the grades, etc.". But when they commit to their school its great.

It may be but I think it's someone else.

What are the odds that the bell rings today?
