Holy S%#^ Could Florida State bend OM over twice? Looks like we might have a shot as well.

[msstate7]

I doubt he'd come here, so I hope fsu offers

So you think he's just blowing smoke with this comment ?

"I feel like I would go to Mississippi State and compete for a starting spot," he said. "Do what I gotta do, go to class and I think I'd get drafted in the NFL."

I just think there's no way OM lets Bowie come here

Of course, this is based on nothing but a hunch

[Todd4State]

If he takes an OV with us then I would think we would have a shot. Key word here being takes an OV as in schedules one and actually shows up.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'd be far more frustrated if he signed with FSU than Ole Miss.

As much as our program has grown & accomplished over the past 7 years, it would be endlessly frustrating to see that happen.

What are they going to do? Turn themselves in again for cheating?

Having read the article I think he wants to go to Florida State reading between the lines.

Do yal want an honest prediction from preach or one of my never fail 100 percent reverse lock predictions??

You'd be more frustrated that a kid chose a program about to get slammed by the NCAA over a team poised to be a playoff team next season?

Dan does need to step it up with the higher ranked players in state as well as the developmental o-linemen and kickers/punters. It's odd but literally the only thing we recruit well are QB's and under the radar talent which no other coach could do before Dan. We're never going to progress past what we are now until Dan decides that recruiting is more important than hanging out with his country club friends. Losing out on AJ Brown, Lashley, and not even being in the game with Akers because he was unaware of a recruiting assistants past with his high school head coach is unacceptable.

How bout instead, you walk into your bedroom, pick up a pillow, then scream into it***

It's about our staff being able to capitalize on Ole Miss' issues. I've justified this kid going to OM based on what they've likely done for his family over the past two years.

Losing him to FSU would just mean that we don't have the ability to capitalize on OM going to through probation. Can't lose Mississippi kids to out of state schools.

He has a chance to come to MSU & make an early impact. At FSU, it likely takes him a few years to get on the field

Yes. Because we're not going to reach our ceiling until we stop those players from going out of state and have them help us get to the playoffs.

Just like LSU fans are pissed about us getting Dak and now Keytaeon.

Our front 7 on defense is loaded with 4*s... got more coming this time

Exactly. O-line and secondary are where we've been lacking.

This kid is an OM fan... I think that makes us a much tougher sale than you do.

THIS! We have a chance to pass Ole Miss AGAIN and yet we sit here with a coach who doesn't prioritize recruiting as important and has described recruiting as the most stressful part of his job. And even worse we have an o-line coach who just gives up whenever one of our targets is offered by another power five program unless that player is like Cordavien Suggs and promises to never take visits and remain 150% loyal.

We're the only school in the SEC that allows a coaching staff to get away with this kind of laziness because it's better than MSU 1969. It's ridiculous in light of what we have accomplished the past 20 years. It's like our fans don't want to believe that we can be consistently good in football and don't want to have higher goals than winning the Egg Bowl and winning the Liberty Bowl.

Yes and they're JUCO's. Meaning that IF they pan out we're only going to get a year and a half of optimal production out of them. And we're having to go JUCO heavy because of this coaching staff's failure to close on NSD.

And what about the secondary, WIDE RECEIVER, OFFENSIVE LINE, and special teams- all of which have underperformed for the most part.

They'er going on probation. We're not.

[Reason2succeed]

Listen to the key words this kid said in terms of State.

"I feel like I would go to Mississippi State and compete for a starting spot," he said. "Do what I gotta do, go to class and I think I'd get drafted in the NFL."

Basically he is saying that at OM he really will not have to compete and he wouldn't really have to go to class BUT he knows fromState coaches and current State players that coming to State means hard work.

I'm with Mullen on this in that I only want guys who know they are going to have to grind. Entitled guys now matter how talented will not benefit us. They will only destroy the culture of our program.

It was this culture of hard work that allowed a team that lost to S. Alabama to keep fighting and win back the Egg and win another bowl game. Lesser programs would have folded halfway through the season.
