I am very interested in how the Rawlings recruitment turns out.

[TrapGame]

Has anyone looked at the posts from his dad on 247? Either that guy is genuine and loves some Dan Mullen or he's playing us like a fool. It'll be interesting to see how everything is handled...

I think his dad posted on Gene's in the recruiting section under the name mslawyer. From what I've read he sounded like a stand up guy.

I hope he doesn't fall for the bait and switch. Sign with them and then find out they want him to greyshirt, or walk on because his family can afford it.

lol.

[msstate7]

I think msstate7 was just speculating. He's not saying Sean has told our staff he would leave if offered. He was 'if'n'.

Correct. I have NO inside info

I don't think Homedawg is being overly pessimistic on this one. I'm pretty sure that if he ends up taking that visit to Ole Miss, then he gone.

No way Dak Prescott ends up at MSU when he visits his childhood favorite team in his home state and holds a committable offer**

Why can't our fans just let it play out instead of preeminently making up their mind on what is going to happen? We already know for 100% fact that his parents read the boards -- and concession/defeatism is a bad light to project. There are PLENTY of examples of kids building a bond with coaches and schools that recruit them that can overcome a "childhood favorite team".

It has been pretty well established in this thread that the kid isn't a rampant partier -- and will have a fair recruitment overall. What does OM have to sell in reality that is better than MSU? A better stadium? No. Better football complex? No. Better academics? No. Better player development at the position? Lulz. The answer is NOTHING. They have NOTHING to sell him above us other than a childhood dream that they decided they "may" let happen at the last minute after missing on 30 other prospects and are already calling him a "career depth guy".

Despite what our defeatists tell you -- it's not an open and shut decision.

FYI... there is no way he tells our coaches "if Ole Miss offers I'm gone". If he did that his scholly would have been pulled and we would have moved on a longggggg time ago. You'd have to be really elite to tell a coach that and that program would have to really be in a struggling position. Neither situation is happening here.

And Mati Te'o thought the "girl" he was talking to had a ******. This just seems like something that was organized from the beggining. I guess if nothing else, we'd be forcing them to use a scholly to get him instead of him walking on or gray shirting.

[TrapGame]

Looked over on 247 and Gene's and it seems Sean's dad is MIA. He hasn't posted shit about Sean's OM visit.

Pretty telling imo.

This recruitment is very similar to Keith Holcombe. We knew whenever we were recruiting Holcombe that if Alabama were to offer there was a good chance he would flip because of his ties. I'm sure CDM and co. knew the same about Rawlings going into it. Now the main difference between the two is that Alabama realized they were missing out on a quality player A LOT earlier than the bears did. If he gets an offer this weekend and flips, best of luck to Sean (except Thanksgiving). But if he thinks it through, and realizes we have wanted him since the get go and remains a Dawg, I will be beyond ecstatic. There should be no hard feelings to a senior in HS either way from either side of the rivalry.

First of all there is no way he tells our coaches "if Ole Miss offers I'm gone". If he did that his scholly would have been pulled and we would have moved on a longggggg time ago. You'd have to be really elite to tell a coach that and that program would have to really be in a struggling position. Neither situation is happening here.

This...I laughed when I read the other post

Could you imagine what Mullen would tell a kid if he said something like that?

"Coach Mullen, I'm committing to you and State. I really like your staff and program. But, if Ole Miss offers me a scholly- I'm going to drop you like a bad habit"

Holy hell our fans are dumbasses.

Wasn't bama able to get him through some scholarship they have for former players that were coached by Bear Bryant?

Is that from statistical analysis or just your dumb ass opinion?

What do you think would happen positively for MSU with him posting about it right now and getting slaughtered by our defeatist fans over expectations of something that may not even happen?

Exactly. He's simply playing it logically -- and there is nothing "telling" about it. He's already said that it will be Sean's decision in the end.

It's from you accusing him and his parents of being party to a long-thought-out agenda to screw MSU at the last minute. When they've been NOTHING but stand up people this entire time. While KNOWING that they read the boards. Do you know how stupid that is? Obviously, you don't. Because you went there in the first place.

No, this looks like we have identified an SEC football player once aGAIN before the BearSharks have- now they are trying to come in at the last second and use his fandom to sway the recruitment.

In that case he shouldn't have posted shit in the first place. His father has now involved himself in this by posting on two MSU sites about how wonderful he thinks Mullen is and how his son is 100% committed to MSU. A guess a OM lawyer will always be an OM lawyer.

Holy shit. Now we're basically calling the parents liars and frauds simply because he's taking a visit that they NEVER denied he'd take if given the chance? KNOWING they will probably be reading what's posted about him today? NEWS FLASH -- he hasn't flipped yet -- and there is no even remote guarantee that he will.

We deserve to suck at recruiting. We have a chance to sell a car here -- and we've got idiots that are accusing the potential buyers of trying to steal the car -- then they wondering what happened when those customers buy the car elsewhere.

It's unbelievable the way some grown men get so worked up over the recruitment of HS KIDS. He grew up a bear fan, so IF he does flip how can you blame him? He has said nothing short of positive things for Mullen and State. Calm down and let recruiting take it's toll. Whatever happens I'm sure we will still own that bear ass on the field

Did I specifically call out him and his parents as part of the plan? Nope, don't see that anywhere in my post. If anything, I could've been more clear in stating that ole miss has had this plan all along, but gotdammit you're a paranoid M'fer. Do you honestly think these type of people will be swayed by what is being written about them on a ****ing message board that only represents a small portion of the entire fanbase? If that's the case, God forbid parents ever finding out about the SecRant.
