My MS Top 40 Prospects of 2015

[BeastMan]

Why is Trey Smith so low? He's got good stats and his dad wasn't a bad player either..

Stats
Recorded 2,300 all-purpose yards, including 1,473 on the ground, and had 19 total touchdowns to lead the Jags to the 6A quarterfinals.

At a sparq camp where they do the laser timed 40s, he ran a 4.83. He doesn't have that 5th gear to get the big time offers. Great hs player though. To his defense, he has better game speed than track speed but that 4.83 is haunting him on the recruiting trail

Who is Trey Smith's dad? Don? Quentin? David?

Damn.. I thought he was faster than that...

I bet
Jamal, Jevon, Leo and Dear end up being 5* guys with Fletcher, Donate, and Timothy moving up a little and flirting with 5* status..

We just have to keep pushing the party line of all these guys coming in together to win an SEC title...it's catching on with some of them for sure and they have to keep working on the others

Awesome job BeastMan!

I think we are pretty close to offering a TE from Indianola-Gentry named Kendall Wright. He is 6'5" 235 or so. He's probably a camp guy if I had to guess.

[Todd4State]

And as far as Trey Smith goes- I wouldn't be surprised if he gets his 40 time down at all since that's what his Dad does for a living- athletic training. He will be MC's QB this year.

I like it. Think J'Mar is too low though...

[Atrain311]

Great list. One minor correction, we are recruiting Dear as a slot. How would you guys rate Ross Trail the UL commit. I think Rivals has him pretty high in the state rankings but I don't think any SEC schools are really recruiting him. But Rivals is garbage so I don't take their rankings seriously

ETA I meant former UL commit since I believe he decommitted.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Trail has also moved back to Arkansas as well. He's a very solid prospect but more of a pro style qb.

The only thing that really concerns me about Trail- and this is a pretty big concern- he was knocked out last year and had a pretty serious concussion against South Panola.

Never knew he moved, I guess that's why he wasn't listed. But if we get J'Mar I'll be more than ok with that. Also 2016 QB Josh White is starting to blow up and "experts" are thinking Texas may have the edge. However Josh has said himself that MSU is still his clear number 1.

This. I've watched his film several times and he reminds me of Russell Wilson. I doubt he moves
up to a 4 star but I think he's a stud. Gotta get him in the boat.

I thought J'Mar was a 4 star on 247?

I really like JMar's upside. I want him to be the QB in this class. He's my #1 QB in MS. When you look at it like that, it sounds better. I'm just not huge on this year's QB crop in state (I never really am). For all JMar's upside, I still think he's a project.

ETA- If I had him as the highest rated 3 star, I'd have him at 13th. That's only a few spots.

[civildawg]

b-b-b-b-but the BearSharks said Freezus was taking the state of Mississippi from Mullen and Mullen was on his way out cause he cant croot?

Just wait until the dead period

[Boomer15]

I posted my thoughts on Terrance Davis in another thread, but I think he is better than Barnes from Madison. Davis is crazy athletic and wasn't on a very good team. I don't know what the knock on him is. I keep waiting on him to blow up.

13th is about right IMO...
