2016 MSU Football Recruiting Thread

A buddy in Birmingham saw Couch play and came away very unimpressed. Not very explosive and easily tackled. Others have an analysis? This guy watches a lot of football. Couch not close to Justin Johnson talent level according to friend.

Strength will come with weights and they're aren't many 6'5 explosive guys in the world. They generally are faster not quicker. However, they look slow because of their length.

Your Birmingham buddy saw him play? Where? Central didn't play a Birmingham area school this year. Your buddy is full of shit.

could it be possible that his "Birmingham buddy" left Birmingham area and watch a game he played in??

Unless his buddy is a scout and / or coach.... Im calling bullshit. Central dominated in the playoffs until they lost to the champs in the semis. They're also a running team. To say Couch was underwhelming, even though the guy pancake blocked every DB he faced, is ignorant to say the least.

Couch is the guy who reminds me of Bear. Very raw but talented. He was pretty much a 6'5" RB this year. He had more carries than catches.

His highshool coach is a real genius wasting that talent

They nearly made it to the 7A finals

They could have won it if they used a 6'5 wife out at WR instead of running back. Nobody in 7A could matchup man. When they double use his other weapons

Looks like the rebs are all in on Kobe Jones and trying to stick it to Mullen. 7 coaches and off the field assistant at his house for his in home visit. I'm curious as to why Barney Farrar makes these trips.

they wasting their time

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Can an off the field asst go off campus on visits? Just checking. You have to watch these guys. They don't like rules.

Maybe they don't feel so great about Simmons... This is what our fans would think anyway

I think anyone associated with the athletic department can as long as they have taken the necessary training from the NCAA.

That is great news, that is 7 coaches who could have been somewhere recruiting a player that they had a 1% chance of landing. Instead they were recruiting Kobe Jones.

I don't think that is correct. I'm almost positive only members of the on field coaching staff can make off campus visits. That's my understanding anyway.

You are correct. I was thinking about recruiting in general and not off campus. What determines being an on the field coach and how many are allowed?

[1bigdawg]

I believe the rules say that the Head Coach and 9 other staff can recruit off campus. Since there are 9 on field assistants, most schools have them be the off campus recruiters, but that is not the rule. I know Alabama has one non coach who recruits off campus and UNM obviously does as well. It is often used during coaching vacancies, also.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Barney Farrar is allowed to recruit off campus because Dan Werner doesn't recruit off campus. He takes his place as the other off campus recruiter.

Interesting...any particular reason? NCAA baggage?

His wife passed away a few years back & he has 2 younger kids so when he was hired Freeze agreed that he didn't have to travel for recruiting.
