THE 2020 MSU Football Recruiting Talk Thread

[HoopsDawg]

I know that and know Matt well. The point was that McKinley certainly isn't getting any negative MSU influence from his coaching staff.

We didn't target many 4 or 5 stars this year. We seemed to identify the 3 stars that we liked and went hard after them.

I may have missed this and sorry if I did but what about Justin Shorter WR transfer from Penn State? Do we have a shot because of Joe?

Guys that will listen.

1. Harvey isn?t 5?10
2. Harvey doesn?t run a 4.4
3. Harvey is 25lbs lighter.

Offer him a preferred walk-on spot and if he earns his spot, give him a scholarship. Otherwise, move on.

Harvey is missing the MS/AL all star game Saturday because he is taking the ACT...if/when he passes he may get an offer...
Do public schools even have academic advisors? Why hasn?t he taken the ACT a year ago?

It's possible he did and is trying to get a score that would be high enough to get him into a school.

I couldnt care either way ,
But if everyone knew he wasn’t going to be playing in the game hopefully it didnt coast another kid a chance to be apart of the game and the team ..
If so, they just cheated some kid of the opportunity to practice, Showcase himself , get some exposure , and play in the game.
I have no problem with Harvey being selected and even practicing but the committee who selected this team better have selected and added an extra kid to the roster.

That’s the bigger point to all of this...

Now back to recruiting talk...

What's up with Sebastian Dolcine? Is he in or out? He took a visit to UCF last week. I know we need depth at OL.

It says he committed to us in June according to 24/7 but he isn't shown as committed as part of the class like others who are 'committed'. Even if they are still talking visits too.

Sorry if this has been addressed.

He won't be a part of our class. Mutual split

However, Yancy reported that Khalil Benson (OG from Southaven) reopened his recruitment. He was close to committing to us back in the summer I think. Need to get him on board

Ari, do you expect us to add another grad transfer at WR and hope it pans out this time?

WR core of Heath (who I think will eventually be a solid SEC WR), Mitchell, Payton, Austin Williams, Ducking, Torbor, Cam Gardner, etc. ain't scaring anyone next year & ain't gonna cut it for Joe's offense to work.

We need either a starting slot transfer WR b/c I don't think Austin Williams is a starting SEC slot guy or we need to move Payton to slot & get an outside WR transfer.

That game is very political anyway.

He missed his shot and will now have to wait and see if he?s got a spot. He?s an interior guy. Behind a couple guys but I?d take him if he wanted to commit. Just hope we don?t chase some BS again and miss out on an OL.

Yeah, there's no good reason to have not already had him committed that I know of. We need some quality depth on the interior and he would definitely be that at the least

Does anybody have any insight into E.Jai Mason? His recruitment went totally dark but he did have a high SPARQ score at camps this summer as I recall.

If I remember correctly, he sorta screwed himself by decommitting. Thought he was a hotter commodity than he was and now he's most likely going G5

USM probably. He slow. Should’ve never given him a commitable offer

[chef dixon]

Can anyone explain why Ole Miss always has their big weekend after ours and right before signing day? Seems like it wont be very impactful on us this year but I have always wondered how they always seem to have that position

[Cooterpoot]

Same reason they announced Kiffin during the SEC championship. Get some last minute splash....errrr spend some last minute cash.

[msbulldog]

The had scheduled it last weekend , but postponed it when Luke got fired. The dead period starts This Sunday so it cuts into their big weekend

Or all the above.
