Seems like Lawrence really wants to be here so I won?t complain if he becomes a part of the class. Honestly it is no worse than using a spot on a grad transfer that will suck (most do). At least a freshman has a chance to develop into something

Our staff has followed Lawrence for a while now...they realize he is a project. I?m fine signing him as we have plenty of room. Jo blew the early signing period only landing 14. Hell Georgia ENROLLED 14!

This is a recruiting board, but regardless of what you think, I won't lose sleep over getting a recruit or not.

And he said MSU is his dream school! If we got extra scholarships, let's use it on Mississippi kids who are proud to wear the logo and the Maroon!

nah, not really at all. Mckinney had to play QB for his team. Everyone raved about his athleticism and he had a frame that could easily add weight. Then he went to the Blackwell all star game and had something like 20 tackles at LB and was the best player on the field.

No they weren't. They came from small schools but we offered them early in the process.

Yep. The only true late offer, low rated guys I can remember that really panned out were Elgton Jenkins and Taveze Calhoun. Of course Calhoun did play in the MS/AL all star game.

I guess that's fair. I didn't name him b/c we were in contact with him throughout the recruiting process and told him if he gained X amount of pounds we would offer. He hit his weight goal so we offered in January. He wasn't some late name out of nowhere 2 weeks before signing day. Also, his high school tape was pretty fun to watch. He killed people in his video.

Maybe but he didn’t get his offer until signing day, so he was still down the board

No point in trying to justify recruiting failures. We’re not getting it done when we have to offer kids like this. You won’t see the rest of our division (minus OM) doing it. This class is still solid but it came apart a bit late. We can’t do that every year and basically cost ourselves 4+/- players.

Let’s keep trashing kids off the board.
There is a way to say you aren’t excited about recruiting without using names.

Nope, I’m not. The rest of the division isn’t reaching for kids like Lawrence and Buys. They’re all pretty much set. Their best available guys are more like our top guys and some spots. We continue to undersign and grab up the guys whose coaches played for us because it’s all we can get.
