2019 Recruiting Thread

[SailingDawg]

Derick Hall signed with Auburn.

Auburn Media guy was talking with his family just before his signing, all smiles, I knew it wouldn't be good for MSU.

If IF we pull Plumlee and Raydar I call today a win

Raydar will sign with either LSU or the bears, Plumlee waits till February...

So we will sign no LB's, no CB's, no elite HS WR's or RB's. 2 of our 4 elite DL, 4 OL's including an elite OL (yea!) and 3 safeties including and elite safety (awesome!). We will sign 15 today and have a mountain to climb to land 7-8 of the 10 left to sign in the next seven weeks. Not a bad class but not 'Championship Standard' either. I hope to see Moorhead make some adjustments and clean things up for 2020.

That's fine with me, we aren't missing out not getting that one.

I've said it before, this staff works extremely hard recruiting. And hopefully as years pass it will improve results. But this class is going to end up ranked much like Mullen's 7th in the west 11th or so in the league and in the 25-30 range nationally.

The problem is, this class is loaded. Next year? Did they not learn anything when they skipped bowl practice last season to recruit? I guess just like the games, our staff is having to adjust to the SEC.

Yeah I'm shocked they weren't able to learn everything about recruiting for Mississippi State in that one month. Surely that's plenty of time to fix everything and bring us back to the times when we were a recruiting machine.

[Scared_Hitless]

This is why I don't live on the edge with recruiting. We have a good class hell excellent for MSU standards. Losing James sucks but that fight is not finished. Add Plumlee as another DB/S and possibly add Young in January I dont understand what the complaints would be.

As usual we will fill it in with a few projects and people that are cut loose by other programs its the way of the road.

Rick Ray worked hard too. It's about results. Considering the talent in the state this year, this is disappointing.

It is disappointing. Very similar to the 2018 season in that we should have won at least 10 games but won 8. We should have been in much better shape with this class but we aren't. Like you said at the end of the day it's about results.

[HoopsDawg]

I don't understand why we aren't signing Cunningham today. I realize he has a long way to go to qualify, but we clearly have the room available and I would hate to lose him in February. Oh well, I guess we know what we are doing.

[Turfdawg67]

You know what's embarrassing? Getting pissed at our staff losing an out of state kid that you were just the other day clamoring on about how our in state kids should have more pride and stay home and go to our schools.

Now James, who is from Alabama, gets interest from his in state schools, delays his announcement, and our staff is the one that should be embarrassed? Wake up and smell the hypocrisy.

Ha! You are trying logic on him? Might as well explain quantum physics to a third grader.

Because you don't want him counting against you. Signing juco kids still counts against our numbers in the class. Got to wait on him.

From what I'm hearing from St. Martin staff its going to be tough for him to make it. He might but its a long haul.

But these guys were supposed to be recruiters. Apparently the previous staff handed last year to them on a platter. Oh well, maybe having Hughes back will pay off.

Fix everything? Nothing needs fixing, just improvement. That's why I don't understand when JoMo says we need to fix the culture.

[HoopsDawg]

We have plenty of room though. We could actually sign 28 in this class but we can't because of the 85. It wouldn't hurt us at all. But he's probably not going to make it anyway so moot point.

We aren't wasting a spot. Someone will get an offer if he doesn't qualify.

that makes no sense. we won't know if he's going to qualify or not in February.

So on one hand you say these guys are supposed to be recruiters so they should be doing better. But then when Joe Mo says the culture needs to be fixed, you don't listen to him? If he says it needs to be fixed then it needs to be fixed.

This class was always going to be hard for Joe Mo. These kids had known Mullen for 2+ years and Joe had to come in during the last half of their junior year and try and keep the ones we had and recruit the ones we didn't all in less than a year.

Next year's class will be much easier for him to recruit because of familiarity. In case you haven't noticed though, we pulled a 4 star DL from Tennessee, flipped Cross from FSU, and have the QB of the future from Virginia. We locked down some solid in state talent and also went out of state to fill needs. We may not even lose James either. So I'm not sure why everyone is burning this thing down.

Woodshedded. Good luck to our coaches finding replacements. I feel badly for them, but this is MSU recuiting, win or lose on the field. It's an unfortunate shame.
