Is Fancy really trying to spin this 2015 class

[Coach34]

In Mississippi as overrated??? Seriously Fancy?

So in just the last couple of days he has tried to put the Flock at ease over Dakota looking great in our Spring Game by saying our recruiting has been so bad we will suck after 2014...now it's the Mississippi talent is overrated for 2015?

Lots of angst in Oxford right now bout State Football

[wobblyh]

Let's be honest the only people having angst over the rival's football program are those people who are obsessed with the rivalry. Very few people care what is going on with either program at the moment. That changes come July. Those people worried about the state of either program will be worried regardless of the circumstances. If both teams are about even, they'll worry the other will jump ahead. If their team is behind the other program, they fret over how the other program will regress while theirs progresses. If they are ahead, they're worried the other is making up ground. It never ends. It's why guys like Yancy and Steve have jobs. But let's not act like this is widespread commonality. 90% of both fanbases are distracted with jobs, summer plans, school, baseball, etc and couldn't care less what is going on other places.

It all boils down to we're not supposed to be a threat to them, but we are. We're more than a threat. Us winning in this rivalry has become the stark, terrible reality for them. They detest Mullen because he isn't Croom. He won't knuckle under and "play nice" while they play dirty as hell. And I love the dude for it. He gives them barb for barb, and they can't take it.

They know Dak is the real deal, and you can look for them to trash him every opportunity they get, and all of it is out of pure, unadulterated fear.

Bullshit. You think big time boosters at either program are turning a blind eye to the other because they have other things to worry about? No. If that were true, OM wouldn't have concocted some bullshit scheme with Devinner to land State on probation. They care. They care plenty.

[Coach34]

Gonna have to disagree wobbly- those two things I mentioned have been spun in just the last 3 days

[TexasDawg]

I really hope Peters, Lewis, Dear, and all of the other top prospects in the state hear about this.

[wobblyh]

I'm not disagreeing that it's being spun. But how many people do you think are having "angst" over this? A VERY small percentage of the fanbase.

Pollo - I don't know if it's that deliberate with regard to specific actions by rivals. Those boosters who are acting, will do so regardless of what the rival is doing.

[PassInterference]

I hope Yancy thinks the class of 2015 in Mississippi is the worst in 30 years. That means we're getting all the good ones.

So, they would still have turned us in if we had been, say, 4-8 instead of 8-5 or 9-4? And they still would have turned us in if they had been kicking our ass instead of the other way around? I don't buy that.

Haha! THIS^

[smootness]

Yes, he is. And all these recruiting 'experts' will continue to say absolutely whatever they feel like saying because there is no accountability. And I guess I'm fine with that, honestly, it doesn't really matter. But it's sad when people can't see right through it.

RED alert. Sounds an awful lot like "LSU is our real rival."

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Our state is so bad this year, Nick Saban has offered almost as many Miss kids as Alabama.

[BeastMan]

[AlSwearengen]

the fact that yancy is spouting this stuff gives me hope that we are likely to do really well this year. If things were different, we would see phrases like "mississippi grand slam" or "best mississippi class in history".

Or Mikhail Miller is the best QB to come out of Mississippi since Jason Campbell? Yeah- let's all listen to that recruiting expert.

[Todd4State]

Let's run it down top players at their position in Mississippi this year:

QB- J'Mar Smith- MSU lean. Not to mention one of the top QB's in the 2016 class in the country has us as his favorite in Pass.

ATH- Malik Dear- MSU lean.

RB- Not really an Anthony Dixon type of prospect this year, but the top running back in Mississippi is the sophomore from Clinton, which is a MSU stronghold.

WR- Dontae Jones- MSU commit.

TE- Willie Hibbler- Ole Miss commit, but Jay Johnson is 1B and is a MSU commit that they would love to have.

OL- Jovan Patterson- They might get him, but it will be a battle either way. And we have Tony Hughes.

DL- Fletcher Adams- MSU lean

LB- Leo Lewis- MSU lean

CB- Chris Stamps- MSU commit

S- Jamal Peters- MSU lean

Hey- there's always 2016.

[smootness]

LB- Leo Lewis- MSU lean

I wouldn't say this. I agree with the rest, but I don't think anybody knows with Lewis right now.

It's a long way until February. Remember at one point we led for singleton, had whitehead and Johnson and brassell committed and got none. I'm not saying it's going to be a repeat, not close. But after years of them doing whatever it takes, I've learned to temper my excitement 10 months ahead of time. With that said, I'd dang sure rather lead than trail on any player. And it appears we lead, and in some cases commandingly, for a majority of the top guys.
