Deshawn Raymond

[preachermatt83]

the 2015 4 star corner out of Louisiana will be making his decision tomorrow night. Most have him headed for LSU but he has been very close with Deshea Townsend since his trip to Starkville earlier this month. something to keep an eye on anyway.

Deshea has been really close on several prospects but he just can't quite close the deal with these out of state DBs.

Smitherman is a nice 3 star prospect. I was thinking more along the line of the 4 star and 5 star players he has been close on like Marlon Humphrey, Mack Alexander, Jalen Ramsey, and now Deshawn Raymond.

Who is simply committed to us!!! He got you preach!! 3+ months from signing day but you've been proven wrong by a 3* guy that's only committed.

Preach, we know what you meant. You were referring to Deshea being so close to these 4-5* upper tier guys, but just coming up short. He will snag one soon enough. You can't help that some on this board will reach and go to far fetched unprecedented lengths in attempts to prove someone wrong.

Damn, I didn't think *s mattered...

can't we all just get along?

I hear you Tusk. Our fan base believes Stars matter until they don't. Our coaching staff could correctly evaluate 99 or 100 prospects, but our fans would still believe 247 or Scout more.

Well our staff is after a lot of these high star guys. If we could land these highly rated guys our coaches are after, we could be even better

that's ALL fanatics, daddio... when one gets "lesser" desired recruits, "stars don't matter"... when you're killin' it, IT "is overrated"...

I've always deferred to "I want who everyone else wants" rule...

I will say, however, Mullen's methodology in recruiting has me interested... there's just not as much margin for error...

Well, look how at how many schools Townsend beat to get Smitherman. Regardless of his rating, that was a tough get.

And we would all love the guys you mentioned; at Mississippi State, it's extremely hard. To me, the fact that he's so close on these guys is a very good sign and should mean that as our national profile elevates, we start landing some.

I don't give two shits how many starzz "Joe the scout" from 247 gives that guy. If he's good enough for Jeremy Pruitt, Geoff Collins, and John Chavis to want on their team, then he's good enough for me too.

First -- learn to quote properly so I don't feel like I'm taking candy from a special needs kid every time I bother engaging your dumb ass.

So, you wanted Deshea to lock down 2 5* OOS guys(one of which isn't even a corner) in one month on the job here? Hoopsdawg pls. Humphrey is the only "miss" -- the dude whose dad played at and has a famous last name in Alabama. That is supposed to be your big "complaint" here?

Smitherman was the top rated 3* prospect in the country when he committed to us. Literally the highest possible rating to not be a 4*. He's been dinged this year and his "rating" reflects it. His overall talent level is reflected in his offer sheet -- and only one of you ****tards would try to disprove it and otherwise pull something out of your ass to bitch about.

As recently as a couple of weeks ago, he was higher rated than Raymond. But he's obviously not elite while Raymond is**

Nevermind that I didn't even respond nor disagree with what was stated in the OP -- I just gave context to the fact that in my opinion, Townsend has already snagged one ELITE OOS TALENT.

Butthurt and straw man gotta butthurt and strawman though -- so get after it you ****tarded badass.

Uhh, get a grip loser. I wasn't even knocking Townsend. It's extremely tough to land highly rated DB's from out of state. I actually think it's an accomplishment to come so close. Maybe he will close the deal eventually if we keep getting in the game. P.S. You have some serious mental issues and I hope you are seeking help.

Also, getting close with these high profile guys elevates are reputation in the area that these kids live. I'm sure all the good publicity we got with being in the race for Marlon Humphrey couldn't have hurt us help land the 5 Birmingham area commits we have. When the underclassmen recruits see the star recruits in their area that they look up to strongly considering State, naturally, they will give us a look too. Getting a kids LOI is not the only reason to recruit a kid.

let's not be ridiculous. nobody believes scout.

Raymond has given his word privately that he's a dawg and his mom loves State. He's been enjoying the process. We'll see if things have changed with him from the LSU pressure.

I hope you're right. Stealing him from lsu would be a big deal. I'm skeptical, but hopeful
