Big Commitment coming today?

[I seen it dawg]

Holy muther****er!! Muther****ing muther**** **** **** ****....shit sorry I just looked at my calendar and saw it was June 17. Damn I almost blew a gasket.

You guys are worst than premenstrual girls. It's one damn guy. We're loaded at LB for at least 3 years without signing this kid. If he wants to play early he chose the right school. He would have at least a 2 year wait before he got significant playing time at State. Let the kid go to Ole Miss if he wants. Nobody was hurt here. LB's come a dime a dozen.

So, you would rather have a dime a dozen player over an elite player? That doesn't make any sense. You have to have elite players and you have to keep brining them in because what you have now is going to graduate at some point.

But what I said was more in general terms rather than aimed at one player. We're not even in the top player in MS top 10 for example. Again- what I said was true. If Dan wants to win and further our program he needs to recruit better.

Don't get me wrong we must up our recruiting and hit on more 4 stars and an occasional 5 to move up in the SEC West, especially in the OL. Heck, he lives in Starkville, sure hope he didn't read the threads here recently about what a dump it is to live in Starkville and wanted the bright lights of Oxpatch. Heck, when I was at State I was perfectly fine with the Burger Chef close to campus, Sarge's, Len-Lews, The Triangle Club, and exotic road trips to Columbus to the Southern Aire and the Ironworks. Think I also saw some really questionable movies at the Drive-In on the outside of town. Never knew how deprived I was! Now I'm really showing my age! Hail State! It's still a long time till signing day.

we have a 7-8 win program under him

We won 9 games last year and 10 the year before that...

SouthernAire? You're dating yourself! It was The Club when I was around!

Here's the bottom line on this. Either Dan will recruit better or he'll get fired because he can't because he won't win without elite players.

Ball is in his court.

This all day!!!

Ms produces Elite Lbs damn near every year. Dan has won 10 games without so called "elite talent." It's called coaching and development which he's done his entire tenure here.

If you paid attention to things, you'd understand what happened today. Where did his girlfriend commit to a few weeks ago?
I don't think this deal is over, but I wear maroon shades. But bottom line is, there's a fox in the hen house.

Hopefully we are taking my advice and sending spies into enemy territory. Set up with the NCAA as an undercover investigation so the benefits he receives aren't actual benefits to him. Gathers info, goes public in January, signs with State!

[cheewgumm]

Engine.... No way in hell that is happening.

Thy are paying the GF.

The end.

[maroonmania]

Regular season. We've had one season where we won more than 8 under Mullen and 3 where we won less. Everything set up for us in 2014 with an experienced OL and Dak was unleashed. That is not going to happen very often.

[Jack Lambert]

Just how many LB has Mullen put into the NFL and how many has Freeze?

Which is what I tried to say a couple of weeks ago when it happened and people flipped their shit.

This just goes to show another big difference in the community around State and OM. If this was going on regularly in Oxford, the high school coach wouldn't last long. We will just sit and take it.

Best post I've seen in a long time. Spot on!!! We just take it.

What about the mom? That's usually the decision maker!

[Bothrops]

So after everything that's been discussed about Ole Miss' shenanigans, we can still expect them to sign a top 20 class, while we finish somewhere between 30-40. Nothing has changed.

[cheewgumm]

I'm jut glad Hes not an OT.

If Starkville High ever gets a left tackle... Somebody get to his girlfriend quickly.

Did the guy from West Point last year have a GF that Bama got to?

[Coach34]

He is speaking to the regular season. We have won more than 8 games once. Won 8 games 3 times. 6 games twice and 5 once.

Its pretty plain that 2014 was an outlier- and 8 wins or less is our destiny under Mullen

[Todd4State]

Ms produces Elite Lbs damn near every year. Dan has won 10 games without so called "elite talent." It's called coaching and development which he's done his entire tenure here.

I'd call Dak an "elite talent". But here is what gets lost- we do a good job developing three star talent-but how would we do developing four- five star talent? You still get a higher yield from better more talented players than you do with less talented players.

And you also get more wins with more talented players. Talent wins. So, that 10 wins might become 12 with better players. Just because you win 10 games and we've "historically never done that before" doesn't mean that we aren't underachieving. Just like when Polk II was still taking us to regionals even though we were losing recruiting battles left and right.

It doesn't matter how well we develop talent- if we can't even get the best talent in the state we're never going to come even close to reaching our ceiling. We're still going to be stuck where we are- and probably worse since Dan doesn't have Dak to bail out half of his dumbass decisions anymore. Unless Fitz is a lot better than I realize.
