THE 2020 MSU Football Recruiting Talk Thread

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I expect him back in the class.

[Pipedream]

The biggest difference- and this is a major difference- is Joe has fewer obvious holes in his classes at position groups.

Missed this over the weekend and I know the discussion is on to different topic, but I think this is a common misconception. You don't recruit to have balanced classes, you recruit to have a balanced roster. That's the end game. If you have to take 7 OL to get your numbers right you damn well better do it. Not stating that Mullen didn't have some holes-the WR issues in 17 and 18 were of his doing (you could also counter by saying that 2 of the starters on this team are Mullen signees). He also was woefully short on OL numbers and JM did a really good job of addressing that in his first two classes. I've seen a lot of people heaping blame at Mullen for everything that goes wrong and it's bullshit placation, but those two groups having holes were problems he created, but have since been remedied. Now, the DT and RB issues aren't his if you dig into the history of it. Moorhead has had ample time and opportunity to make things right there and he hasn't been able to even though, it looks like we'll be ok at RB this year depth wise, next year however, could be an issue.

Cool. You think we're good even if LSU offers?

[Cooterpoot]

Brown isn?t going to qualify anyway. He?ll be at Co-Lin barring something changing in a big way.

[Cooterpoot]

New offer out to RB Ty Jones 6’1, 180 at Bay Springs. He’s a 2023 I believe. Going to be a hoss.

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

Quincy Brown and Alex Adams will be dynamic for Co-Lin next season!

LSU has already offered but like Cooter said he has to go juco 1st.

Nice replacements for Heath & Taylor.

[msu15]

Diwun Black will be at the game Saturday.

What's his deal? Has to play Juco until end of 2020 then can sign wherever he wants with 2 to play?

Yes

We're agreeing on this. But you don't want to get to a point where you have to sign seven offensive linemen because that takes away spots from another group which creates another hole.

I'm sorry though- Dan deserves the blame for the holes in our roster at this point. 1-2 years from now? No. I think running back is something that could be addressed later if the staff feels like Kylin will leave. My guess is they want to have a strong educated guess before they make a move.

[HoopsDawg]

Yes

You hearing anything on Mccrae? Think he stays in the class?

And you’re on to something when it comes to RB. The staff is starting to do some homework on bringing in a juco back for this class.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I think it's a little early to tell but I do think we may have 1 juco DL too many. I love Key & Tre Lawson is playing very well early this season. McCrae saving grace may be the fact he has 3yrs to play 3.

[Irondawg]

did McCrae play last night and if so did he look better? Keeping Lawson, David and Key are the priorities for sure though I would think.

But at some point we have to be able to develop some HS DE's. We haven't developed an above average DE from the HS ranks since I think AJ Jefferson

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Diwun Black will be at the game Saturday.

Good.... he better get used to watching games.

[tcdog70]

I hope we are on Jeff Simmons' Cousin at Noxubee--Hatcher Kid He is blowing up offenses, Noxubee shutout Louisville and Columbus. Noxubee is now 3A--Louisville is 4A and I think Columbus is 6A. Hatcher is a Junior.

[Doggie_Style]

Seeing that Jayland Parker, LB from Georgia just de-committed from Colorado.....he was at our game Saturday
