2019 Recruiting Thread

[msstate7]

Fitz definitely starts at Florida. Under Mullen, fitz finished 19th and 14th nationally in QBR. Franks finished 46th. It was 2012 the last time Mullen's QB finished that low... Russell at #47

Jerrion Ealy back on the market.

1. He's signed his QB.

Hopefully. But when will he be ready and will we have a problem consistently getting those guys? Not sure MS will consistently produce them.

2. We blew up weaker defenses with freaking Fitz at QB. How is that different than what we did?

We did look lost against good defenses last year, at least on the road, but we also played pretty well against Bama, A&M, and LSU. This year, we blew up weak defenses and then looked completely lost against every pretty good defense we played other than A&M. We weren't going score consistently against good defenses with Fitz's passing and our lack of WRs. But if we had just not looked lost against UF, that's a win. I think if we had not looked lost against UK, that likely would have been a win. Our defense basically shut them down through the third quarter; two bad calls game them short fields. We give them any help, and that's at least a toss up if not a win. Then there's the bowl game (granted had we performed in the season we likely woudl ahve had a tougher matchup).

But the blowing up weak defenses is huge if you're concerned about us tanking going forward. That means we shouldn't have to worry about the terrible upsets, then we have a power 5 OOC (and none that we have on the schedule currently are expected powerhouses), UM, Arky, UK, and a hit or miss east opponent.

3. He went and got a transfer just like we tried to do and a lot of our fans lost their shit over it.

I think some fans lost their shit over not getting a transfer. Between going hard after Kelly and Key not getting any time, even when Fitz was completely lost, I think they understandably were concerned Key wasn't progressing. No clue if they're right or not, but it is a little concerning to me.

4. Mike Leach had 3 straight losing seasons at WSU to start there. He had to get his players.

Fair enough. I was just trying to point out that there are a lot of QBs he can make work in his system (maybe that's me not giving Minshew enough credit). But similarly, Mullen can get pretty good results with Qbs like Relf and Fitz. Just not sure how good a Qb Mooread needs to make his system work.

A few other SEC teams too IMO. Fitz can be good if play is definitely a run or definitely a pass. When it's either/or he not so good. He probably starts for O at LSU. And a few other SEC teams. Not Bama, Ga, Mizzou, USCe, TAM.

[KOdawg1]

Ealy is headed to Clemson. Moore to Auburn.

Sucks two highly rated guys are leaving the state on top of those who have already left.

[KOdawg1]

So is DJ James not gone like everyone said?

[msstate7]

And with ealy decommitting, we move up to 10th in sec. Hopefully mingo leaves now

I wouldn't assume this at all.

Remember that Moore has already used his official to Auburn. I think Florida is the bigger threat with Moore. I bet he signs with MSU

He doesn't have an offer from Bama or Auburn. Until he does, he's ours.

[Commercecomet24]

Ealy is going to MLB.

Just let things cool off & play out on Charles. Let him get his thoughts together.

Fitz playing at LSU? Now I?ve heard it all. You think O would take a run option QB and put him under center? The same QB who slid on 3rd and 3 against Bama would go to LSU and be the game manager that team required?

Fitz is a one trick pony. He ONLY works in a run option spread. That?s it, he only works in one offense. The sooner people will realize certain players are made for certain schemes the easier it?ll be for you. Just like Tyler Russell, a typical Bama and manager, couldn?t work in Mullen?s run option spread.

Thank you.. exactly what I’m saying minus the ****.
And with Ealy I still think if he goes to college to play both baseball and football he comes here over Clemson.

I think O wants more than he has in Burrow. And coming off his 2017 season, I think O would've loved to have Fitz. Now O wouldn't have developed him coming out of HS but yes ... I do think O would've taken him over Burrow in the 2018 preseason. And I think Fitz would've been better than Burrow at LSU too. Fitz can play IMO if a play is a run, or a play is a pass. He had too many options in his head presnap with the RPO IMO. I believe Fitz played better with Aeris in the lineup cause he had more confidence in not getting killed so if the RB blocks then Fitz feels better back there. And I believe he would've had a higher confidence level in his WRs too, cause LSU's are better.

Fitz doesn't suck as bad as folks think in the right circumstances. I do believe he was selfish in a few games in 2nd half of schedule tho.

What about just football?

You've stated this before and I hope you are correct. He's probably the top RB in the nation in my opinion, or pretty close to it.

[CadaverDawg]

Yes we get it. Go back in hiding, come out for baseball.

Good one.

[CadaverDawg]

He's so bitter right now, he's grasping for straws. LOL

Obsess much?

Bitter about what? I'm just realistic.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I'll just say this because most people's mind is already made up on this class, JoeMo, etc. Just wait & save all your rage & disappointment for Feb. 6th. You may find out you wasted some of your anger for nothing. If it goes south & we lose everybody & sign nobody of impact feel free to bash him. Just a thought.
