2024 MSU FOOTBALL RECRUITING

[HancockCountyDog]

Jamonta Waller flipped from Florida to AU today, I know we werent involved, but Freezus is going to raid our state for the next few years.

Freeze should do well with the shady areas of MS

Yes, he is. I also think he gets our best WR and one RB off our roster.

[Bothrops]

Saw where the OL/DL from Houston, (don't we have a very rich All Pro DL from there?) has blown up to a .92 Four Star and is 4A Mr MS player of the year. Now I remember, too short for us.* Oh, Well, OM can play Randy Newman's "Short People" when he hits the field.*** Hope we get a real HC asap and can hang on and maybe get some players to look at us again before December signing date. This can get worse fast otherwise.

Ole Miss paid for his bump. That's what they do.

I know nobody is really committed until names hit the dotted line and they're waiting to see who is announced too, but of our list of commits, whose commitment is likely solid regardless of the hire?

It's hard to say really because the hire really will determine everything. There's guys that may not want to play in a certain scheme or for a certain coach, but a new coach may come in and not want certain recruits.

I think based on the current state of our roster that we can't predict what signing day looks like. Depending on the coach we hire, we may go heavy portal or we may do a mix of portal and HS guys. I don't think our current class has a ton of instant impact guys. We will need instant impact guys for next year.

Now a new coach may realize that the best way to go is to punt on next year and that the hill is too high to climb and not waste our NIL war chest to go 6-6 and maybe focus our NIL money on HS kids and maybe a few portal guys that allow us to be competitive next year while we rebuild.

[HancockCountyDog]

Sun Belt Billy's famed recruiting class may not save him. They lost another big time commit today after losing the kid from Picayune this weekend, and he is projected to lose another one to Ohio State soon.

If his recruiting class falls apart, he may get fired after FSU beats the brakes off him.

We won't have a choice but go as portal heavy as possible. Leach and crewed gutted this program. With portal announcements already today from a couple guys, I would expect us to chase every portal and Juco we can. It's about to be baaaaaad.

I saw Price hit the portal which sucks because I thought he was wasted this year. He showed me a lot last year in the bowl game, wish we could have used him more.

Did anyone else hop in the portal?

[Cooterpoot]

Bellazar and a scrub

Bellazar and a scrub

Meh. I would expect Walley to hit the portal. I?ll never underestimate what happened with him.

[Bothrops]

We are going to be gutted at WR and unable to recruit them like we were before Leach. None of these "candidates" are going fix that.

[Cooterpoot]

Bellazar had a good shot to start next year. I doubt Walley leaves. He's been hurt and where's he going to go? USM? He likes Starkville.

Kinne and Lashlee both throw it around. Both can get WR interest. Keep Bump and we'll sign some guys too.

Good to hear about Walley - not that he has been hurt, just that he is going to stick around. He can play at an SEC level and we need players next year on the team that can play at that level.

[Cooterpoot]

This roster is going to get smoked with exits but most won't be a problem. Be curious to see what the new coach does with the roster. Next year is a massive rebuild like we haven't seen in awhile. Got to hope for a first year similar to Mullen's where we see growth. We don't even have the talent we had then.

The 2009 team had a bunch of NFL players on it and Croom handed off to Mullen the best recruiting class in the last 20 years to him. I mean:

Banks
Boyd
Bumphis
Fletcher
Gabe Jackson
Pernell
Ladarius Perkins
Skinner
Slay
Chris White
Nickoe

Holy hell was that a class.

[Goldendawg]

According to Genespage, offensive tackle Alex Lopez,a 6'7 250 pound OT, ranked .85 number 39 in Mississippi, from Bayou Academy, Cleveland, MS has committed to us. Is this a PWO, BTW, does this disaster of a staff even need to take anymore commits unless they are a 4 star or high 3s. New staff is going to have enough issues with recruiting as it is. He is not listed in our 16 commits for 2024.

[Pancho]

he needs mucho work, diet weight gain etc. might be a player by his RS JR yr-maybe
