Zach Farrar Commits

4.48 40? Is that legit? If so how the hell is a 6-4 WR that runs a 4.48 a 3 star?

Poor pad level and pointy elbows **

[HancockCountyDog]

So Davis did flip to us?

Davis will sign with us, the rest is just noise.

[Jack Lambert]

247 says he is committed to us but Rivals does not. I was just curious. I hope we get him and I hope he gets qualified.

Is couch still a take?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Is couch still a take?

Yes. We want & honestly need 3 outside WR.

He ran a 4.51 electrons time 40 at a Nike opening combine last spring so 4.48 is pretty accurate.

Regarding Davis. Do yall remember the day he flipped to us then a little while later it was back to bamer? Then a little while later he tweets "people just don't want me to be happy "? To me that signaled his heart is with MSU. AND he's surrounded by people pressuring him to bamer. Or did I miss the time line?

[engineerdog]

Just watched his Scout 7 on 7 videos. He's solidly 6 inches taller than everyone trying to defend him.

How is he in baseball?

Read on yahoo that he had over 25 fbs offers for football and "a handful" of D1 offers for baseball. He's left handed so may be our left or center fielder in the future. Dude must be just a heck of an athlete.

Saw this past season he had 56 receptions, 1114 yards (so ~ 20 yards per catch), and 19 (NINETEEN!) tds. I think we just found our deep threat

^^^ his 2015 football highlights. He definitely looks the part

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

would they be dumbasses if he was a 4 or 5 star? nope.

[Reason2succeed]

would they be dumbasses if he was a 4 or 5 star? nope.

We have to remember that recruiting rankings are NOWHERE near a perfect science. Farrar looks great but even my unskilled eye can see parts of his game that will need work at the next level. Crisp route running, going full speed, high pointing the football, using his size more effectively without drawing a flag, elusiveness after the catch, etc. I believe Billy Gonzalez will do great things with the guy if he is committed. Great pick up though.

And that whole deal disgusts me and sounds like it might be coming from someone on the Meridian coaching staff. I realize Bama has plenty of supporters in Meridian but come on, Meridian is IN MS and has a freakin' campus site for MSU. If there is an actual Meridian coach pressuring a Meridian prospect to go out of state (Bama or anyone else) then somebody somewhere should take some action. Hopefully this is not what's going on.

It's not. Steve explained what happened on one of his podcasts this week.

Care to elaborate?

[maroonmania]

Care to elaborate?

Yes, please do. I listened to his podcast from earlier this week and couldn't make heads or tails about specifically who locally was putting pressure on him to stay with Bama.

[MSUDawg99]

Care to elaborate?

If I try & retell the whole story I'll totally screw it up. Here is the link to the podcast...http://www.bulldogsportsradio.com/ep...ficial-visits/

Basically his caregiver is the one who tweets his stuff for him since he's not into all the hype & such. He's the one who had the phone. And something about what John Garcia (recruiting ananlyst in Bama) was hearing in Bama was conflicting with what was being tweeted...I dont know. Too much to remember. The podcast will tell you. But had nothing to do with some Meridian conspiracy. Wish I could tell you what minute mark to go to but I'm at work & can't listen to the whole thing again to get the jist. I'm sorry.

Back to talking about Farrar and not Raekwon.... the dude is big, tall and catches the ball with his hands. Not his body. He'll be a great asset for the team.

Good to get Bear 2.0. Plus he can help our OF or play first base for us. Win and win.

Bear was raw out of high school. This kid went to a high school with top notch facilities. His development will be minor to Bear's. I really thought he was going to Okie St. This is a huge steal. He and AJ will give fits to opposing DBs.

I truly hope we don't stick him at first base is he runs a sub 4.5.

bet he could touch a 6.6 60
