Well deserved. Went out & warned it on the field.

Fine young man and well deserved ! He's repping Jones County well!

[Dawgology]

Nice. Congrats to Cross and good job to the staff for hanging on to him. Well done by all.

[TrapGame]

Nice. We need more of this.

Say what you will about this class, but it is hard to complain when you get your QB of the future and an absolute stud LT ton protect him.

Joe and staff flipped Cross from Florida State. We don't flip 5 star players from blue bloods very often, so amongst all the recruiting melt lately let's look at the talent we are getting in this class. Recruiting can be frustrating at times because you're dealing with teenagers and their "handlers" but this staff has worked tirelessly and for Joe's first full class he's bringing in some fine talent. May still be some rabbits coming out of the hat in a couple weeks too.

Not to mention a potentially all-time great D-line class....but yeah....life sucks.

If we can get Young to replace Moore, we will be just fine.

Any threads about some random three star cornerback decommitting?**

Give a whole lot of credit to Coach Marcus Johnson!

That would be great, but rather have both.

Biggest recruiting victory in MSU history. All Joe Moorhead people.

Yep, Marcus has been doing a great job on the recruiting trail. 6 commits in this class so far are his.

I'd put pegues and Simmons up there too.

Outstanding get though. Huge jump and well deserved for cross. Good job staff

This was definitely a bigger "recruiting victory" than Jones or Pegues simply due to the position and what we have historically done at that position. Much easier to recruit a stud DL than it is LT to state.

[confucius say]

And the fact that we flipped him from FSU. Don't think jones, Simmons, or pegues were flipped

You can argue who's the biggest but it's likely the most impressive.

Context... do you remember the Chris Jones' recruitment? It was a national story. We were really close to seeing om having Chris Jones and Kim lining up in the middle of their defense. They were already #1 scoring defense in the country in 2014.
Chris Jones was absolutely huge.

Cross is a great get, easily top 5 all time, but Chris Jones is #1.

I am interested to see how someone can make negative out of this.
