THE 2020 MSU Football Recruiting Talk Thread

If we need depth I could see it. I'm not sure he's a SEC starter.

Then I'd pass. Take a HS kid that might end up a starter

I'd encourage him to go to juco this season. See how he looks this season & make a decision. I think people want Cole more because he's a legacy than his playing ability.

I gotcha. I was just wondering with him being a legacy and all.

Agree and I think we have our starting center of the future with Nick Pendley

Cole was somewhat sold a false bill of goods. He was promised a lil too much up front and was not leveled with. Now he sees the writing on the wall and isn't comfortable. He's as tuff as they come but is a year or 2 away from being ready. I wish him the best of luck wherever he lands.

[No BS Dawg]

Ari, any update on another possible commit this weekend?

Why are families so stupid?

Sorry, that's Cole and his family's fault, not the school he signed with.

Part of it is how he was sold during the recruiting process. The fact of the matter is most players don't want to hear "redshirt, work hard, and then maybe you'll start as redshirt junior after playing special teams as a RS freshman and being a back-up as a RS sophomore". Of course with Hevesy he probably barely got any phone calls but that's another ball of wax. Because recruiters do have to show their recruits some attention.

Recruiting is a selling job and if somewhere like LSU is telling you that they think you will play as a freshman and MSU is saying the above statement a lot of prospects aren't going to choose MSU.

And I think that this is changing for the better at MSU. So, it's not as much of an issue as it was.

[Homedawg]

Fact is, our last staff didn't think he was good enough for an offer. He got one, yes, but because of pressure and the whole legacy thing. Trust me they didn't want him. And quite frankly the effort proved that. I can't speak for the current staff as far as evaluation. I do know they tried hard, but doesn't mean the liked him. They came in with their hands tied. I would let him go to juco and go from there.

Xavier Hill commits to Bama

We are starting to lose more and more players to them and it's disturbing.

Dang he?s from OB too, we?ve been doing well there lately. Bama only has 3 OL committed and all are 3 stars. I can?t imagine them not being in it with multiple 5 stars so could be a decent chance he doesn?t end up there

No more than usual. All players do not want to play college in their home state. It's their right and can be respected.

Ok.....

I didn't see any disrespect. Did you?

[bulldawg28]

No sir you were not disrespectful. I'm only saying there is nothing alarming of a kid choosing Alabama over Mississippi state football.

They'll get bumped up to four stars soon.

Joe and staff are doing a great job so far this cycle

Not sure how you can rate it "great". I think the grade on this class is still very much in the air. It will have to finish strong though to be "great"

Yeah because every year they win and/or play in more and more championships.

But we've been down this road a crap ton of times already. You don't get why they leave and feel no matter what they should show loyalty. The rest of us understand why kids would pick Bama over MSU.

Not sure what's disturbing about kids choosing to play for the best coach at arguably the most prestigious football university of all time.
