2025 MSU Football Recruiting Thread

[Cooterpoot]

JUCO's all on defense I am assuming?

Won't be all defense but mostly for sure.

[Cooterpoot]

So I did a brief scan through of the recruiting thread and it seems as if there's hope for Cunningham yet. What about Dear and Knight? Are we okay with not getting Knight since we have Taylor? Weird to see Notre Dame get one of the best players in the state, but maybe that's an area where NIL helps.

Knight is massively overhyped. He's got a long way to go, Cunningham ain't happening, and I'll be honest, Dear is another that's overhyped a bit. He's big but I won't be surprised to see him in the portal in a year or two.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I would take Taylor over Deuce for our offense. He is pretty much the prototype for a Veer and Shoot scheme.

Cunningham I don't know. I would definitely like to take him. I wouldn't be surprised if we get Dear and Cunningham back in the portal if they go to Bama first. Much better chance at flipping Cunningham IMO especially if we perform well the second half of the season.

We are not getting Cunningham. That ship has sailed unfortunately. He's got people telling him he's the next Ryan Williams, he's not but that won't stop them from telling him that.

On Taylor, he is the guy Lebby wants and has a chance, A CHANCE, to be the best QB Lebby has ever had. He has the physical abilities to look like Nico Iamaleava in this offense. It's just going to be putting the footbal IQ and knowledge of the system together with the speed of the game.

That kid could play almost any position on the field and excel. He’s a football player.,

Cunningham is another AJ Brown

Mario Nash decommitted. Sucks we really need OL help

That one is not over by a longshot. He's trying to get us to up his offer. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw him commit to FSU and then decommit in a month.

Nah. He gone. These never go our way. When they decommit they are gone.

He may end up signing elsewhere, but his recruitment is far from over.

[Cooterpoot]

If Lebby can't get these guys, he's gone in a couple years. That's the bottom line! Either he gets the recruits or he's looking for a job. He already made terrible choices for his staff that's haunting him right now. Can't miss on these guys.

Serious question, not picking an NIL argument. But if what the above poster said was true and he?s looking for more money, what would firing Lebby do? Any coach we hire would have the same issues if our NIL isn?t enough to get 4 stars.

Maybe we have the money and just don?t think he?s worth it, but if Lebby is pounding the table saying go get more more NIL so we can sign this guy, what else could he do?

I didn't say fire Lebby. I said he won't be around but a couple more years if he can't sign guys.. And this isn't just about money, Lebby needs to sign some damn talent!

[Bothrops]

Can't allow anyone we want on the OL or DL to back out on us. Now that it's happened, I wouldn't be surprised if Nash is an Ole Miss signee.

FSU, they're the one school we knew could give us trouble. But OM is running up the cost.

Nash commits to FSU

Nash commits to FSU

And he'll decommit in about 3 weeks and OM will be the favorite. He'll probably commit to them and then prolong his signing to February and sign with either us or LSU. This kid and his family are being influenced by the same guy who got in Donte Dowdell's ear and Jarquez Hunter. They are chasing the biggest offer, but his ultimate goal is to push them out of state.

I will say this though, we have an old friend back recruiting for us again. And his sphere of influence is a little better than some prick from Eastern Mississippi looking for a payday.

Nah, OM ain't in this. And I'm not getting in a bidding war for this kid beyond a point. He's pretty raw and there's another kid instate next year we've got a good in with that's better right now.

That guy encouraging players to leave the State is a big reason we lost Kahnen Daniels to Florida. Almost everyone he is associated with goes out of state.
