THE 2020 MSU Football Recruiting Talk Thread

[Ari Gold]

Whatever happened to Alex Adams? Did we back off after he de-committed?

Grade risk...

Grade risk...

Ah. Any chance on the juco dude committed to Memphis now that Norvell left? Or was he not a take for us anyway

[msstate7]

What's the realistic wish list right now?

[Irondawg]

I know Harvey isn't a normal back but I'm thinking as a pass-catching 3rd down back - we don't have a jitterbug type back there that can destroy a LB in the open field like the Pats constantly use James White and Dion Lewis before him. We don't have very many "make you miss types". Last one was Tubby although Ross had that ability as well.

Are we recruiting the safety from Florence AL that's transferring from Michigan?

[chef dixon]

IYOK I know you prob laying low during all the BS on here the last few weeks but any recruiting finish info from your perspective?

[Scared_Hitless]

Any reason we are not recruiting the WR out of Starkville I know his size but he is going to be a player somewhere. Same with Brownlee

Neither are overly fast and Harvey is just too small.

We sure do miss out on alot of players due to so called measurables. Hope it works out for both

I liked Harvey on film. But the one that intrigued me in that video was Tripp Wilson. Is he a TE prospect? He didn't cut as well and not as fluid in his hips, but he had some real speed and hands.

[maroonmania]

That's what I expected, I just didn't know if there was anything more to it than selling the success itself.

Not sure I buy that completely. He was getting great classes at Bama before the titles started being accumulated. Heck, he had a great class even after his first year when he went 6-6 at Bama. Of course I guess maybe the one title at LSU was enough to sell recruits on.

[Irondawg]

With Warren I'm surprised Southern Miss hasn't shown more interest - I wonder if there is something else like grades that might be an issue. My take is if you're under 4.6 you're fast enough if you can run routes well. Ideally the smaller you are the faster you'd need to be but he does seem to have above average change of direction. I get why we're passing on him but I wouldn't call it a waste of a scholarship if we gave him a late offer.

Tulu didn't look as clean in his routes as most of them. I know one guy on 24/7 likes him better as a corner but I honestly haven't seen much of him.

Walley was impressive in the video for a guy that hasn't played much WR.

The ND commit at DB didn't look good at all to me

[Westdawg]

I went back and watched the all star video a couple more times.
Harvey just looks dang impressive. I know we "don't have a spot" but I think he might be that kid that we look back in a couple years and wonder why we didn't push hard and go after him.
I would like to see video of Jackson and Spencer on the OL/DL drills. We desperately need two more quality OL and at least 1-2 more DL. I would like to see those last 4 spots devoted to getting some quality depth there.

Walley looks natural at receiver, and Tulu can fly.

We will he is another Darrell Henderson, Dylan Bradley type we will regret it later sometimes game tape dont lie and if we are willing to sign projects rather it be a hometown baller. Dexter Mccluster was small at OM and he dominated size isnt everything. As fare as Jackson his 1v1 drills from today were dominant.

Walley impressed me the most. He looked way more fluid at WR than I expected. Looked good getting in and out of his cuts and tracked the ball well on deep balls. Once Tulu gets some instruction on refining his route running, he’s going to be lethal because like you said he can fly, he’s quick, and electric with the ball in his hands. I really think the WR class of Heath, Walley, Tulu, & Ducking winds up moving the needle a little more than maybe we expect when it’s said and done. I think Walley ends up being the steal of the class maybe. He’s a freak of an athlete.

[Westdawg]

Trey Tuggle and Davion Carter. Carter reminds me a lot of Dillon Day his senior year of HS.
I would like to see more of Carter on film.

[Westdawg]

More thoughts and questions:

- where is MSU with Josaih Hayes? Really like what I saw in the film.
- not even close, McKinnley Jackson was the best looking DL in that film. Great hands, footwork, and technique. There wasn't another DL that looked on the same level as he did. I would have liked to have seen at least one solid bull rush from him just to see that he has legit power, but you can look at his frame and tell it's there. He's gained enough technique that he's overmatching any of the guys he's facing on the HS level now.
Biggest question I have regarding Jackson is are we even in his final 5? Looked up his profile and even our site guys are calling it for LSU or OM.

[Irondawg]

Tuggle did look nice in that limited video - good balance. Wonder if we'll take a 2nd look at him
