Not getting Taylor.

Only if Oklahoma pass.

Ealy now visiting Bama instead of unofficially visiting us.

Bama has 28 commits including a 5 and 4 star RB. Why and how would they sign another?

To keep us from having him on our team. That is the unfortunate answer. This has been both Bama,Auburn, and LSU’s strategy for a long time. Sign your opponents best athletes and sit them on the bench. It’s how you keep an opponent down and manageable. That is where these “grey” shirts and such come from.

Pretty sneaky job by Huff. Guess he has no loyalty to Moorhead now and he convinced Saban to go after Ealy. Not that we would have signed Ealy anyway, but he wasn't even going to take an OV to Alabama until Saban hired Huff.

It's a good thing Ealy won't touch a college football field.

Moorhead doesn't sign his check anymore. Of course he has no loyalty to him. It's a cut throat business.

Did Huff even sign anyone good that we would not have signed anyway in the one year we had him? The guy probably never unpacked the U-haul

Got us a bunch of crystal ball predictions for emery**

[msstate7]

With us likely missing on Emerson, Washington, and ealy now, who fills those spots?

[Cooterpoot]

We aren?t missing on Ealy. Duncan fills Emerson?s safety spot. Lawrence probably gets Washington?s spot. We still have Young, Lockhart, and Otey too.

In addition to MSU, which other programs does Alabama do this to? Auburn, LSU? maybe Ole Miss or Tennessee?... What about UGA or Clemson?

[msbulldog]

Mullen took quite a few of our coaches with him to Florida, but excluded T-Buck. Wonder if recruiting was a major factor.

You wouldn't catch T-Buck dead going to the bathroom at UF, he's a FSU alum. Mullet probably offered and T-Buck turned him down, we're lucky to have him.

Man just doing his job.

Well my Warrior River Trade School friend, Jalen Hurts was coming to MSU, before sneaky Nick snuck in there.

And hurts started 2 years... he wasn't signed just to keep him from us. That narrative is foolish. Saban isn't scared of us in the least

Dude. I like you. But this is something that Bear Bryant started at Bama. Bryant is one of the main reasons that the original scholarship limit was imposed. Don’t get me wrong, Bear Bryant and Bama were not and are not the only school that does this but it is a very common practice amongst blue blood schools. College is a very unlevel playing field with very little parity. I bring up bama because they are the closest school to MSU and do it to us very VERY often.

It’s not foolish. I have first hand experience with this. He’s not scared of us but he has a killer instinct and this is a common tactic amongst elite schools. It just is.

I've never been in the Bama war room, but I don't see it. They may be about to turn young away and he's one hell of a recruit. They have to find room for elite recruits...

[msstate7]

Malzahn after plumlee now?

[Doggie_Style]

So what's the word on Otey....is he going to visit or no?
