2016 MSU Football Recruiting Thread

[NeedMoreCowbell]

I've noticed the resentment toward CDM about neglecting recruiting because of looking for a new gig (after we bumped his salary waaaay up). Now is not the time for that discussion, but a week from today will be.

Someone point me to a non Ole Miss affiliated site/reporter that is saying AJ to Bama or OM.

You'll find that with the quotes from AJ saying I don't want to play at MSU and I want to get out of Starkville. #Doesn'tExist

Enterprise, I'm right there with you. Conflicting info coming from everywhere. IYOK and Elitedawgsrecruiting still feel good about things. Cadaver and Shotgun have apparently jumped off the ledge. Paul Jones still feels confident we get AJ Brown. There ends everything I know.

I think this year has likely been the most unpredictable recruiting year in recent memory. Many inside sources have changed their tune on our chances with multiple guys since December. Its also not a coincidence multiple posters on different message boards (who presumably don't know each other personally) all started coming out with negative outlooks on our remaining prospects right around the same time earlier this week. Truth is, there are in fact many posters that aren't too far removed from the big money guys who do know what is going on, even if they don't regularly discuss it or pretend to be experts. It takes some reading between the lines to know when information is starting to trickle out from the movers and shakers behind the scenes.

Going after Oregon state guys aren't we?

Is turnier a priority? If so, how likely are we to sign him?

Nice sized kid good athlete. Look like he could stay at Safety or even grow into an OLB.

I could be 100% wrong on all these kids but I haven't been told anything to make me panic & stress out about anybody. If I'm wrong I have no problem admitting that but right now I feel good on a strong close.

Well I guess we'll find out how we stand as a program Wednesday. We either continue to progress or take a step backwards while the pricks up north continue to make strides. Yes, I do care what they do as it has bearing on our success. We do recruit from the same grounds.

Dan has proven that He is a great evaluater of talent. He was the one that found Sean Rawlings and knew he was SEC talent. To bad he plays for the Rebs. He took the Bear, as raw as He was and made Him a force to be dealt with. Sure we need to sign Simmons, Lasley, AJ and Jones. (and I think we get some of them) but I feel Dan will sign players that will make Us competitive in the SEC WEST. I think He has bolstered our ability to recruit on a higher level with his last two Hires to His staff. I think he will hire another very good recruiter soon. We will win at least 8 games next Year and I feel very confident that our Program is on the Rise. We need to quit worrying about the Rebs and focus on all things Bulldog. I hope on signing Day we will have a group that will make us proud.

We will have a group that will make us proud. No need to hope. Some folks may want to hope for starzzzzz to make them feel better, but you covered it above that we will get and develop talent. Regardless of starzzzz.

I get the vibe from IYOK posts that if things were falling apart he would say as much and not attempt to blow sunshine up our asses. He's proven to be knowledgeable about recruiting and if he feels good about a strong close, I like our chances.

LOL that made me laugh.

Exactly right. IYOK has always been straight forward and frank even when it wasn't great news. One of the few posters on here who doesn't blow sunshine or meltdown, always just brings the facts. His info has always been extremely accurate.

[Really Clark?]
