2016 MSU Football Recruiting Thread

[Political Hack]

Is a top 30 class this year "Good enough"?

Just got done listening to Rosebowl's "Boneyard" on BSR & couldn't believe when he said that. He said, according to what he's hearing right now, getting 3 of the 4 Golden Triangle boys is best case scenario & that a top 30 class this year would be good enough & a great job by the staff, due to a light in-state class this year.

WTF? Is Rosebowl just trying to lower expectations or does he really believe this?

Who cares if it's a light year in-state? Get your ass out of state & get some players.

How can we compete in the West without recruiting in the top 20 most every year? We can't. A top 30 class is a "poo ole Mistoisnt State" attitude & I'm tired of it. Get some folks in here that can recruit there asses off & let's compete.

Fired up right now after listening to that crap. With our facilities, recent winning, & in-state talent base, a deaf, dumb, blind person could land a top 30 recruiting class. absurd

We should have been prepared for this 3 years ago and found targets accordingly. We should be targeting the top 100 players in the nation as freshmen and sophomores to see if we can get out of state interest. If they reciprocate, we pursue it. It's not rocket science. I don't feel like we have a coherent system in place to project team needs, identify candidates, and know how to prioritize our recruiting time and resources.

Ty Montgomery is a perfect example. Kid that was interested from TX that ended up at Stanford. No telling if we would've landed him but we didn't even allow ourselves to get in the game. Kids in town visiting family and can't get a coach on the phone. Ridiculous.

Other schools do a tremendous job of identifying connections to out of state talent. We did it with Fred Ross. Not sure why it's so hard for us to do that consistently.
