2019 Recruiting Thread

[MetEdDawg]

Sloppy Joe clearly hasn?t figured out how to work with recruits who have relatively minor off the field issues. This ain?t Fordham or even Penn State...we can?t afford to lose kids with Moore?s talent who grew up in the shadow of Davis Wade...

This is a really poor take

And Charles Moore lists his new Top 3. We aren't even in it

I read that article. He was literally all over the place with his comments. Compared Auburn to an Ivy league school. I'm sorry, what?

I want us to get Charles because he's a special talent in our back yard, but something else is going on with this kid. It's like he thinks the world is out to get him.

Can we purge some of the terrible, defeatist, cynical posters off this board?

Ignore Doggie. He’s just trolling.

Yep you guys are right...Moorhead is not only an offensive genius but an elite recruiter as well ***

This is like being in a long relationship with a girl that inexplicably dumps you all the sudden, only to later find out she's been seeing a guy behind your back that happens to make more money. Then, when you ask her for her reasoning, she tells you that he has more money, goodbye.

To be fair it sounds like an Ivy League school. The reality is much different.

[Todd4State]

Darryl Williams is our center. I don't see us going after a Center.

It wouldn't be a terrible idea to get Jones if he is a better center though. Would allow us to leave Williams at guard. That said I don't know how good Matt Jones is so emphasis on "if" from me.

[Todd4State]

Good lord. This is horrendous. Don't get me wrong. Hope we end up with the kid. But this is case and point how not to do this.

I feel kind of bad for him actually. It's pretty obvious to me that someone is trying to steer him in a direction that he probably doesn't really want to go. Hopefully our coaches and boosters will step in and do some damage control because from where I sit that's probably what it's going to take to resolve this where we get him to MSU.

I'll let the professionals handle this.

At this point, keeping Pickering and James are more of a priority than getting Moore back. Would also love to get Plumlee and Mingo, but plumlee isn't saying much and Mingo is probably OM bound. Just keep the ones we have and avoid a major disaster.

[MetEdDawg]

I would think Collin Duncan is ours. So if we can add Duncan to Pickering, then get Walker, Cunningham, and Payton, that would be pretty strong and I think a reasonable close for us. Top 20. Add Plumlee to that and it's very strong. Add any of Mingo, Young, Moore, James, and that would be quite impressive.

Auburn just lost their bagman to GT

Keeping what we have- losing Emerson- and getting Duncan isn't going to get us in the top 25 much less top 20.

Well Duncan is rated higher than Emerson. And folks behind us are going to lose commits and have to scramble and folks ahead of us will too. Additionally, we will have commits that get boosts here soon. One of those being Cross. So with all of that taken into consideration, I would have to almost guarantee that keeping everyone we have now except swapping Duncan for Emerson would land us Top 25., especially considering we are sitting at 23 right now after having lost Moore.

Ok.... I hope we don't get to find out.

I have to think that outside of James and Emerson our commits are pretty safe as of right now.

Add in Duncan, add in Plumlee, and that's pretty decent. Find a way to get Moore back in the fold and get Mingo, Young, or maybe another current commit to flip and we will be very good. It's going to be stressful at the end but I believe in the process.

A lot of folks are disappointed right now but if everything ended today we would be Top 25. That very rarely happens to us.

Ehhh... I don't know. Mullen's 8 classes (threw out first and last) avg'd out at 28. He was in top 25 4 of the 8. This crop of talent in Mississippi this year is far superior to any of those 8 years. Also keep in mind 3 of the last 4 of those classes were at the absolute height of OM cheating. Moorhead hasn't had to deal with that, yet

We're not going to get Mingo or Young.
