2016 MSU Football Recruiting Thread

[CadaverDawg]

What's crazy to me about this class is that we were able to get a guy from USP, but couldn't get the guy in our own backyard.

If he was a 4 star, he'd be signing with Ole Miss. They wouldn't get outworked for a kid they want in their own back yard. Maybe back in the Pegues days, but not their current staff.

Plus he was never getting eligible.

You guys are getting mad about Knott whom most have known all year was going out of state. Quite frankly I would take Dantzler (Cam) over him. I do not think Knott will be at Bama in two years.

As well, we have never had the stronghold at SHS like most think we have. Sometimes people just want to get out of the town they grew up in. I don't blame Brown if he happens to go out of state.

Lastly, most of you guys this time last year and every year before have griped that Mullen doesn't do the signing day surprises. But here we are and we could potentially be pulling this out. See last year with Leo Lewis, the Chris Jones ordeal. You wanna know something about Leo Lewis? He was State bound all along. I even had Demetric Warren tell me two days before signing day Leo was LSU bound. No one knows where these guys are going. I know how the reporters get their information and I know where Steve is getting his. The crystal ball predictions don't mean anything. I remember one poster really worried about the Kegler's to ASU this past year in bball..how did that turn out?

You guys get mad when our class is full over the summer/early fall but hate when we have such a small class at the end. The one area we needed (OL) is about to be the strongest and Hev deserves a lot of credit on that. Good job Hev.

Go get a new hobby and stop worrying about where a 18 year old is going to go to school. its taking years off of yall's lives that could be used for something else.

We talk about "connections" for 2017 when we couldn't hold on to the 5 guys within 20 miles of our campus. That is bad, bad news folks. Really bad news. Something is broken in the recruiting process for us.

Because Kylin Hill is already in the boat. Austin Williams wants to go here and we just offered. CJ Avery named us his leader. Ronald Ladd will commit soon. Epson already named us his leader. Aaron Odom's teammate already committed to us plus he is coached by Darius Brown, a former player who is loyal. And we have a good shot a Keldric Caper and guys from out of state.

I wasn't worried about kegler... Just asked haha

Anybody else disappointed in our pay boards lately? We've got two targets committing somewhere today and getting info is like pulling teeth, IMO.

Maybe our staff has asked that it be kept quiet.

[Beaver]

So... We have 15 commits as of now. How many will be have by the end of Wednesday? aka how many guys are we planning on taking?

Good point. I could live with that

At this rate, I expect 13**

Simmons would ease my melt 100x over

If we close with the OL class we're expecting, and then get Kobe and Simmons, I'll be extremely happy. I'm very confident in Dan's ability to have a steady supply of good QB's. Pair Dan's ability to identify and develop QBs with consistent recruiting on the OL and DL, and it will raise our floor another couple of games.

Anyone know why we don't go after Jordan Duncan?

[Really Clark?]

Anyone know why we don't go after Jordan Duncan?

He is already enrolled at Cal

He is already enrolled at Cal

Damn. Looking at our WR board, that may have been one that we should have gone after.

[msstate7]

Damn. Looking at our WR board, that may have been one that we should have gone after.

Lots of te's and few wr's... We might be forced to go to some 2 te sets in '17, which I like.

[maroonmania]

Yep, if we could have held on to Farrar it would be easier to take if we lose AJ. Right now we have Couch if he can keep his weight down enough to stay at WR. Hankerson might work out at WR, will have to wait and see.

Size & speed. In 10th grade he looked like he was going to be an elite WR but he never got any bigger or any faster.

Why does everybody mention Couch weight & perhaps being a TE but no one ever did with Farrar. Couch weighed 215lbs & Farrar weighed 210lbs. They're basically the same size but only Couch was mentioned as a future TE. This wasn't directed at you I've just seen it mentioned a bunch.

Mike Farrell just tweeted that Simmons was choosing between Ole Miss and Alabama. Used McCready's quotes as to why State was no longer in the picture. Unreal. The media is no eliminating us from contention on guys in our backyard before the players themselves eliminate us.
