LEO LEWIS
How long before he pulls the trigger and joins the best in MS in committing to our Bulldogs?

About the first wed in feb. Not about to end soon.

Leo has his Sr season to focus on. He plays at Pearl tonight. His recruitment will end similar to Chris Jones did. Farrod Green is KEY for us.

I think it's going to come down to the Egg Bowl and I don't mean that in the sense that it's between us and OM. I think if we go into the Egg Bowl at 8-3 and win that it will be enough to get him. But 8-4 might not and he may go to Bama.
He wants to play for a winner and he's said that multiple times. We win the Egg Bowl and go 9-3, I think he will end up with us. But we've got to win and beat a legit team this year. Obviously he and Farrod are good buddies, but Leo is going to go somewhere where he can get exposure and win big. We've got to show him that you can do that at MSU on a regular basis.
This may be one of the most important years in MSU football history, most specifically in recruiting. Every game on tv, SEC Network launch, new stadium, lots of internal hype and some external hype to go with it, and the foundation laid for probably our best recruiting class ever. We live up to expectations this year and go 9-3 or 10-2, we could have something really special going forward.

Chris Jones 2.0. Both in the process and the result.

I think Bama has moved on. They have lots of 4* and 5* LBs to pick from, so when he decommitted, they just moved down the list to the next guy. At least that's what I gather from my Bama friends that follow recruiting pretty closely.

I think Bama is out. It's a MSU, Ole Miss battle, with LSU still lingering in the background.
I think as long as Collins comes back to MSU next year, Leo is ours.

This all depends on how well we play this year. His next decision will be final this time, and I believe it'll be down to whichever instate team has the most success this year. A healthy Dak will land us Leo. But at the same time, these defensive guys watch defense. He will be eyeing our defense every game. And that's why I'm confident we get him.
Our defense is going to be flying around the field, as every player is confident in their position (remember last year.... we didn't know who our CB's were going to be, our trust was failing with an injured Nickoe, the linebackers only had one veteran, Cox was playing the wrong position, Hughes goes down in the first game of the year and the Dline was led by D Autry who we over hyped).
This year we have confidence and players in the correct positions. That combo is going to attract a lot of defensive players.
OM does not recruit players to have comradery. They also don't teach players to be humble. I read an article recently where Jay Hughes talked about how he doesn't care who's on the field (him or Market), as long as the job is getting done. The recruits we want respect these aspects. And everything I've read points to Lewis as being a humble yet very competitive player. And I believe we get him based on how well he fits into our program. Channing Ward and CJ Johnson would have flourished in our defensive system. It's sad they went to a university where the coaches couldn't develop them. CJ is a dynamic player, but he still has a raw playing style. And Channing is still stuck on ST.... I think they even talked about moving him to TE.
Lewis doesn't want to go to a school that doesn't help develop him for the next level.

I think we need to play well, but I think Leo has more sense than to just choose a school based on who had the better season. My guess is that he'll choose to go the competitive school that he most wants to go to. Their final record likely has little bearing.

The Bama fans that I know are already writing him off, talking about "grade concerns"...makes me feel fantastic about our chances everytime I hera that.

It will be a battle to signing day. We are the leader now, but we all know how that can change.

Collins will play the biggest part in this I think. The Juicemaster vs Wommack (who looks like he has a Valium I.V. drip) no contest.

I really doubt we have Collins back next season. He has HC written all over him

I think he'll stay through at least 2015. Even if he does leave, I think he'll stay through signing day.

Who knows. Don't assume anything. Just enjoy the season and hope for the best.
