Strong finish. Very strong. I don?t know why people get mad. All you can do is laugh because it?s comical at this point

How can you look at that and think Strong finish?

Don't get mad... he left off the **

And how the hell is bitching helping?? Does it show you care, or just how little of a life you people have? JoMo has worked his ass off and hopefully it pays dividends for us tomorrow. If it doesn't, and you and a handful "melt"... it will make NO difference for next year! ZERO. Maybe it'll make you feel better, but that'll last just a short period too.

I kind of feel like you're melting over shotgun melting....

[msstate7]

So assuming ari is right, since early signing period, we've done what...

Losses: Moore, James, Washington

Added: Duncan (hopefully)

Who am I missing?

Yeh he’s too busy being a smart ass most of the time.

[Rick Danko]

If this is true, that is bad-really bad. Wonder if Pickering is wavering, also? Like Moorhead said during one of his press conferences when someone questioned our losing so much after his promises of championships, Heisman, etc., when he was hired, "reality has set in.".

Quit taking shit so personal. Have you never encountered a smart ass before? Grow a pair. IF you don't like what I post there is an ignore feature. Try it out.

Too be fair, keeping Emerson should count, he was all but gone in most people's mind, including mine. It's been a disappointing close, but i'm not shocked.

In regards to "killing our RB class", I am happy with Witherspoon and Walker.

Happy yes, but they're both depth guys. If Hill can't stay healthy this year, we are in trouble. Even Rosebowl says this RB class is light, Huff missed on big fish that threw everything else off, and we have to sign a top shelf RB next year.

Fair enough, I suppose Lawrence will be an add too. If this holds up, we'll finish most likely 6th in the west... bout where we always do. Considering this was a historic level of talent in the state, maybe we can bury the myth that joe is next level recruiter.

The word "melt/melting" is so overused. You guys bitching about the "melting" have become far more annoying than those you're whining about. Different folks have different reactions...deal with it, or get off messageboards bc that's the way it is.

To some folks, a 20ish finish is great and will lead to more 6-8 Win seasons which they are thrilled with. To others, a 20ish finish means near the bottom of the league and while 6-8 wins is good, they know we won't be competing for any Titles or Sugar Bowls with 20ish classes more than likely, so they're upset we aren't taking a step forward in a big MS recruiting year.
Neither of these people are wrong...they just have different hopes and expectations for the program. As soon as everybody can agree that neither of these opinions is wrong, the quicker we can discuss recruiting instead of discussing melting vs not melting.

I think it's taking our staff a little time to adjust to SEC recruiting and how to recruit at MSU. Not to be unexpected considering how much of our staff we had to replace. We are in a weird spot already in recruiting. We recruit elite players, but we have to be able to find kids that we can develop to fill the class out. Our staff hasn't had a chance to see these kids as much in person except when they were seniors. Decided disadvantage for them.

This next group of kids we should have a better handle on, but it's going to add to the difficulty because of how much this 2020 MS class seems to lack in terms of quality players. 10-15 max that could be SEC players? That's really really tough.

Right, but just like this season we don't have to change our approach a complete 180 overnight. We should've simplified the offense and we should have been more conservative with our recruiting approach until Joe/staff got their feet wet. We swang for the fences and are facing a tough reality that maybe he's not as good as we thought and/or the SEC is a different beast than the Big 10.

I agree with everything you've posted today

[HancockCountyDog]

Lets wait 24 hour and see what shakes out. I'm not as dialed in as most, but I'm not being told its over yet.

[Cooterpoot]

I'm not sure we lose Moore yet. I'm just ready for this recruiting season to be done. Next round looks good for us so far and I think there will be less drama.

[bluelightstar]

There will be less drama because there’s less talent

Yep, 16 4-star or better this season and only 7 next year
