2025 MSU Football Recruiting Thread

[Cooterpoot]

So it looks like Kennedy is happy with his OL and Turner is with his DL recruits. Tough sledding ahead boys. At least this year we had Miner. Several good recruits out there and this is what we get?

You realize the portal hasn't opened right? We're going Juco and portal on DL and OL. We're about to get a commit from the top OL in the state for next year too.

We have to because missed in all HS with exception of some skill guys. Really excited about Taylor, just hope we can keep him.

We weren't after many HS guys because we need immediate help. Nash is a big pud, so I'm not worried about losing him. He won't last anywhere IMO, Pounders 2.0.

[SilentSteel16]

Nash is not whom I was referring to. I knew months ago on visits he wasn’t going to State, hell anyone he talked to he told that. He was always going out of state.

HS guys is what you build around, I get filling an immediate need but if you don’t have foundational recruits what do you have.

Like it was said before skill position HS I believe we did very well in but you have to protect them and can’t bank on portal every year for bandaids

Tackles you have to sign, the rest you can portal or Juco. We didn't miss on anything much. One kid that's going to LSU and was always going to LSU?
We redshirted two this time if they can pan out. We need help now, so we're going to sign Juco and portal guys. At worst, they're quality depth anyway.

I see that Rico put up the eye emoji

My guess is that's for Mario Nash. I'd call it more a hunch than a guess.

Nash is going to decommit from Florida State even though he says that he is still commited for now

He's got some work to do to get back in our class. He burned some bridges with our staff when he decommitted.

We have 2 wins. How the hell does a 4 star tackle have work to do to get back in our class?

Did he lay a turd in the coach's playbook or something?

[SilentSteel16]

Nash is not an OT

Idc if he's the ball boy. Most of our team and coaches need replacing.

Let?s take a trip down memory lane of our last few 4* MS HS OL:

-Dolla Bill-Bust
-Scott Lashley- Bust
-Percy Lewis-Bust
-Charles Cross-Hit
-Derek Sherrod-Hit
-Jake Thomas-never hit the field
-Kent Flowers-never hit field
-Damien Robinson-never hit field

The best OL we have had from the MS HS ranks outside of Cross and Sherrod? Addison Lawrence and Elgton Jenkins and JC and Beckwith. But of course our fans hated that coach because he cussed too much and didn?t chase ?stars? on 247 other than the guys our boosters forced them to take to compete with recruiting rankings for OM.

I wouldn't call dolla bill a bust

[StarkVegasSteve]

I wouldn't call dolla bill a bust

I mean he was a 4 star who couldn't get consistent PT until his Jr. Year. That's not great.

[confucius say]

I agree. He really wouldn't be that much of an upgrade based off his recent stops.

What? Auburn is giving up 21 a game in sec play in year 1 for his system, and they have thrown several pick sixes or it would be lower. Plus Durkin has been in dysfunctional situations the last few years thanks to the head coach.
Durkin would absolutely be an upgrade.
But I'd be shocked.

A few more. Dylan Day was good. Shaq Calhoun actually started some games in the NFL. Daryl Williams was good. Tyre Phillips.

OL is a developmental position. You don't see many high school OLs who are physically and mentally ready to start in college.

Fine, don't bring him back then. Sign some USM guys out of the portal.
