2019 Recruiting Thread

[ShotgunDawg]

Yeah, the 2020 class is off to a great start. Speaking of, where do we sir with McKinley Jackson.

2019 started off well also until Moore turned into a turd and everyone decommitted

[ShotgunDawg]

2020 has 7 4-stars vs 16 this year. Looks like state and om will get 3 each. Going by CBs, we don't look to be much of a factor for Jackson. Really early though...

Yeah. In order to have a good class in 2020, Moorhead will have to recruit much better than he did this year.

[ZedFedder]

A lot of the 4 stars in MS this year were three stars originally. We may end up with more than you think.

This is incorrect. He has recruited exceedingly well. Hell, not only has he had to deal with Bama coming in to take players, but they are coming in and taking coaches. Bama is a machine that we cannot expect to control currently.

Mullen and company screws this class up royally. Moorhead will finish us in the Top 25.

Will Rogers isn't even rated on 247 right now. That will change. He will be a 4 star by the time it's done.

Charles Cross was an unknown this time last year.. 2020 class won’t have the star power 2019 did but there will be lots of talent there ..

Almost prefer there to be more unknowns that get better.

It allows MSU to get more of a head start. I think part of the issue in 2019 is that talent pool was so well publicized, that the out of state schools in someways got a head start on us due to coaching changes. The 2019 class was served on a silver platter to everyone in the country.

If they're unknown, they don't get evaluated and assigned a quality rating. If they aren't rated high, you melt because we're signing a bunch of 2-3 star unknown kids...

If they are known, they get evaluated and thus are assigned a respectful rating. If they decide to go outside of the state to play football because they're ranked high, you melt because other schools are "poaching" the in-state talent...

Either way, you melt so it's a win-win for you!!!

I'm going to start calling him "butter". His melt game is strong!

Not really. We're racing towards the finish line with 3 flat tires.

Any news from the weekend?

Things went really well with Duncan Lockhart & Sanguinetti. Duncan will be in this class. I feel good about Lockhart but I do think he wants to know who his DL coach will be. Sanguinetti is ours if we want him. Feel good about Mingo & still feel pretty good on Ealy.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

As of today which is scary to say with over a week left I'd say we finish with

Pickering
Walker
Payton
Cunningham
Duncan
Mingo
Ealy
Washington
Lockhart
Sanguinetti or Emerson
A couple grad transfers

No one was going to commit over the weekend ( at least not publicly )
The only bad news from this weekend was Baker leaving and BY not feeling well.

That one good tire must be one Helluva tire ... ****
I wouldn’t disagree with this list might be a little better than I would predict but I could see this happening 100%

So did the Young ship sail with Baker leaving?

[HancockCountyDog]

I don't get information as much as the guys here - but I've been told by the same type people that told me Baker was gone last Friday - that Mingo is coming to MSU. I can't speak to anyone else, though I would say that if we don't land Pickering it will be the most surprised I have been in recruiting since we landed Simmons. I did not see that coming, and I don't see Pickering signing with anyone but us.

Thanks for that good news. +1
