Football recruiting

[Johnson85]

kinda like the Lawrence brothers ? ... I thought they were raised like 30 miles from TSUN

Magnolia Heights is not exactly South Panola or Starkville High. Obviously close to OM, but not going to OM is not like rejecting a home town school

[Johnson85]

I think we land

Quenton Baker
AJ Brown
Scott Lashley
Gentle Williams or Loyd Cushenberry
Jeffery Simmons
Kobe Jones
Emmitt Gooden
Marquiss Spencer
Raekwon Davis
Christian Wallace
Another WR can't say who

Is that just a position of need we're looking to feel, or do we have a guy basically committed that we're trying to keep under the radar?

We're going to take at least 2 WR. I just don't have a good idea of who that will be.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Has he ruled out baseball as well?

[shoeless joe]

My source is pretty damn lose to the situation

So is mine...great example of why things change so much in recruiting, nobody has a clue. And also why I don't follow it much unless it's a kid close by.

He should. With his skill set it would be "easier" for him to succeed in football.

I've heard he wants to go to ole miss and play with Metcalf. I've heard we are third behind ole miss and bama, but I've also heard he is not as dead set about getting out of Starkville as he was earlier. So while it looks a little better than it did, we still have ground to catch up.

Boy, that's some messed up stuff there. Could you imagine a kid at Oxford feeling this way wanting to come to MSU to play with Brown? Hopefully that's just misinformation going around. Can't imagine he would really want to go up there and deal with the mess they have going on at the moment (NCAA, KKK, etc.)

Well, as I said- Alabama is enticing- but I think he stays home. And OM is a very distant 3rd at best

Thats David Johnson bullshit. That couldnt be further from the truth.

I know Crowell got tired of the om people constantly pumping Metcalf as the best wr in MS for the last 30 years and I would think AJ gets tired of hearing it as well. That said, cj got treated like a bitch by their fans at an egg bowl and he still signed on with them.

I have zero sources, but from the outside looking in, logic says State or bama. This is recruiting we are talking about though.

I went to Starkville, Oxford game this year. AJ is leaps and bounds better than Metcalf.

No way Brown is going to OM..... Blood is thicker than money. And he's skeptical about Bama because he wants to play two sports. Saban is a one sport dude..... Ask Marlon Humphrey.

If he's really wanting to play 2 sports, I feel much better about our chances

What position would Wallace play? He looks like a big time prospect.

[defiantdog]

Scarborough was a five star... and he's been suspiciously absent, lately...

hmmmmmmmmm

He's your third string RB..... You'll probably see him play when you play your next cupcake.

[BeardoMSU]

Even better than Pat Patterson?****

[Ifyouonlyknew]

He thinks he's a CB. Oregon St is selling him on RB. I think he's an OLB.

If you saw each ones game against West Point you may be singing a different tune.

Probably get some carries in the 2nd half of our game. No need to play Henry with us up 3 td's**

I think Metcalf is better suited for the Evan Engram role. I think we'd use AJ like we did Fred Ross. Start him off outside & then put him in the slot to really exploit the mismatch he'd provide.
