THE 2020 MSU Football Recruiting Talk Thread

We also tanked with too many JC players (of course the UM witch hunt against Jackie made it hard to get HS players), the last couple of years under the Kang. It has to be a good balance and players that can help at once. I think Jackie said once that unless a JC player can start a once or be a good backup, it is a waste of a scholarship.

I think JUCO's are good if you have misses in previous recruiting classes at position groups and you want to get back up to speed quickly. See our defense in 2016 vs 2017-18 as exhibit A.

There is a difference to getting juco talent guys and D1 juco guys (Sweat, Rivers , ect)
We have done extremely well in the juco ranks last few years.
I expect this year to be above average as well

Five Star receiver, Rakim Jarrett says that we are his sleeper team in recruitment. Yet it says we have offered him which confuses me.

And he'll sleep right past us. We're not even in his top 6

If this staff thinks we have a legit shot at landing this kid we will recruit him as hard as anyone will ..

I'm guessing we go after the Vanderbilt DT in the transfer portal and I found it interesting that the guy from Rice is still in it.

What happened with the guy from Rice? There are 2 guys from LSU in the portal, 1 from Arky, 1 from Vandy, and 1 from Ohio State who recently visited Penn State. All of these guys are immediately eligible. I don't know anything about them though except the guy from Ohio State is a stud who has had to deal with injuries.

He allegedly was going to TCU to be closer to home. But apparently he hasn't pulled the trigger on that. Not sure if we are still interested in him or not- but my guess would be not or not that much.

Florida also has a former 4 star DT from Alabama in the portal as well

Again, it baffles me that we aren't a highly thought of program with D-lineman recruits, and even transfers around the land. If OM can still get WR's from other parts of the country to jump on board regardless of scheme, and if we continue to get passed over by numerous DL' s, even in our own state, what can you attribute this to?

We dont play the game like everyone else. We are the good guys

[yjnkdawg]

If we did try to play the game, we would probably get burned at the stake by the NCAA. We don't know all the ins and outs like some of the other schools that play the game proficiently, or have the legal expertise, experience or history in doing so. Also the OM Boosters/Lawyers would just love to catch us in trying to play the game,and don't think they wouldn't do all within their power to try and ruin our football program.

It's a great question. We obviously don't play the game like others, but that just makes it all the more sickening at how corrupt college football is.

Who are they passing us up for? If it's LSU and Bama, they produce more nfl dlinemen than us

ETA... surprisingly, since 2010, OM has had more dlinemen drafted than us, 6 to 5

profound! and if I jumped up, I will have left the ground.

It's not just one position group. The perception of our program for what ever reason isn't that good. Take a look at RB. We can currently offer early playing time behind a solid OL and we don't lead for anyone. Marks has as much as told us he isn't coming and we are begging Benson and Dillon to come and even telling them we'll shut down RB recruiting if they commit! It's going to be a tough year on the recruiting trail for Joe and Co.

Lol you're literally just taking bits and pieces of message board information, creating your own false statements, and acting like you have inside information. Good job!
