2019 Recruiting Thread

[bulldawg28]

Is that really true?

I doubt it

[Avelso]

The part about Dabo and committed players is true. He won?t allow them to visit.

[RezDog7]

Yep, he gone. Complete embarrassment

It's an embarrassment to who? You? Good lord you people are unbearable.

Whether he does or doesn't, we haven't blown out and embarrassed Saban and Bama in a College Football Playoff National Championship game.

That's BS I personally know a kid that signed with bama in December and Clemson never stopped recruiting him or prevented him from visiting. .

[bulldawg28]

While we're talking about Clemson recruiting tactics according to 24/7 Clemson signed 14 3* star players for their 2019 class. The sky is falling! The national champs class is made up of 3 star talent.

[CadaverDawg]

FSU just offered Darius Washington I assume he?s gone now too

Damn. Hits keep coming.

[Irondawg]

We're hitting a bit of a perfect storm in a bad way. A year ago whether we're the backup plan or not we get James b/c Auburn doesn't offer and Oregon isn't sniffing around some 3-star from Alabama.

Washington was way down FSU list but they apparently missed on some other guys. He was their Dylan Lawrence. I hope we thought he was a ton better than the guy that signed with Indiana. Once Washington was saying he wasn't going to sign early I would have taken the other guy in a heartbeat if he was willing to sign early.

A lot of blame on Joe, but I don't see anybody also blaming some of our other recruits for not being able to form some stronger bonds. Some of these guys falling out where together at one if not two all-star games together.

Well here's the thing. When you have to replace someone like Dan who was here and established for 9 years, the first full recruiting class is always the toughest. These kids have seen Mullen and his staff for years. Now Joe and an almost entirely new staff come in and have to build relationships in a year to either keep kids committed or try and win them over.

Unfortunately that just happened to be the year MS had its most highly rated class ever. Joe was Putin a bad spot with our expectations of how many kids he should get. I firmly believe Mullen would have gotten more MS kids because of the relationships. But I still think Joe can recruit.

Some of the things you look for like getting his QB well in advance. Shrader was done and committed to MSU a long time ago. That helps. He's made up ground and made it a battle for kids who are committed to OM and Bama. Mullen could
never do that.

Right now, my biggest issue with this year’s class is that I’m still concerned that we aren’t going to take advantage of a really loaded year when we really have no competition in state or at least we shouldn’t.

I’m not upset about any one player not signing with us, it’s that we had a chance to really take the reigns in state.

Now if we close strong, it will be solid, but I’m just concerned that we missed an opportunity to distance ourselves from a pure talent standpoint from the confederates.

Hopefully we are talking about closing strong in two weeks.

Here’s the deal with the top 12 -15 players .. it didnt matter if it was Joe, Mullen, Pruitt, Morris, ect.... we weren’t going to get the majority of the these guys

We weren’t getting Jackson or Handy period.
No one thought we had a chance at Dean, it was closer than it seemed but in the end he was never going to stay in state
Ealy and Young. I said if Young stays in state he will be a dog. That still holds true
I said if Ealy plays ball in college he will be at State. I still think that’s true
I never had a good feeling about Mingo still have a chance but I would be shocked
I thought we would get Hall but with recruiting and the way some of these kids and their camps handle it well you figure it out and look where he ended up.
Moore, just like everyone else , thought he was a lock. See above Hall
Plumlee. He won’t be a SEC QB.. I expected him to go outside the SEC if he is dead set on playing QB. And it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up ( OM) he isn’t there long. Transfer out.

Cross , Pickering, Jarrian ( who is a top 10 player ) and Russell are SEC calibure talent
If we can pull Young and still get Moore thats half of the top 12.

Bottom line if we flip Young, and
Fill in with some out of state talent and a transfer or 2 this will be a very solid class

[Cooterpoot]

We aren't missing out on much with Hall and Handy either. Moore is like Handy but with talent. He's let people screw him over.

[Ari Gold]

Also if we could only sign 3 players from the state and we got our pick of any 3... Mine without question are:
Pickering Cross and Young

If you want to win in the SEC you better be really good up font. These are the best 3 in the state and near the top in the country at their spots.

And we may end up with all 3

[bobcat91]

My concern is DBs. We arent getting any of the 3 committed to us in December and we are hoping to pull a couple out of nowhere

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Totally understand that. I feel Collin Duncan will be in this class & then we'll see on Adonis Otey.

Collin Duncan is pretty much a must get at this point.

Totally agree. You're not going to win in the SEC unless you are great up front on offense and defense.

Charles Cross got his 5th star on 247. Number 8 overall in their ranks.

Hes saying if the kid is committed to Clemson if he visits somewhere else then he considers them uncommitted. I think you are hurting your own chances if you dont bring in kids who are committed somewhere else though
