This all day long. Things are about to change in a big way.

Most of that group are DEs. Interior linemen are what we need which is the reason Lovett is really a much bigger loss than Williams.

3-4 de maybe, but I think Adams, Kobe, rivers, autry, Odom, and Robinson can play dt in 4-3.

The thing that bothers me in this is that all of a sudden many on this board turned on both Williams and Lovitt with: "we didn't need them anyway, they won't qualify, drama queens, not really State types, we'll get someone else better ( a little late maybe), etc. Maybe new staff has a better plan b4 Feb. Hail State!

Would you rather a full blown melt, fire Moorhead type reaction? I mean either way, we are not getting them. Frick both of them.

I think Jackie did. Maybe Rockey. Croom didn't at least at first because we were on probation and actually did get hammered. Dan... Not so much.
I think it's imperative in the SEC to have a relationship with a booster where the coach has a "knows but doesn't know" situation. I think that's what is different about Ole Miss- the coaches know. However like about Saban knows what goes on or knows that it is going on but he doesn't know all the specifics. He just knows that he wants player X and he asks that it happens by whatever means necessary.

No major meltdown but consider this a shot across the bow by UNM. Have great faith in Coach Joe and new staff from what I have read to date. Recruiting automatically has much better potential with the country club gone. As many posted, with the cop out by the spineless NCAA, a version of the "Wild, Wild West" may be here to stay whether most like it or not. Hail State!

Yeah, I don't want to play for that bunch, I want to go help out a team sitting on their butts at home after going 6 and 6 and on probation.
That makes a lot of sense.
You don?t understand do you? This kid was gonna flip for awhile. They waited for the right time, so yeah it makes perfect sense. Geez

No, but some on this board should be able to understand that, as an MSU fan, you can get pissed about losing a good recruit that was committed without it being a "freak out" or a "meltdown".

My point also, tee'd off/disappointed. Unless our new staff has a different plan ( I have no inside info and appreciate the info I get here from those who do), these guys who were long committed and back out (unless a plant by a UNM type) have to be replaced by someone hopefully as good or even better. I wonder about the other five still committed, but didn't sign. One post considered them now a non-commit in referring to Lovett. February will tell the tell.

McDowell- probably get him.
Mason- probably get him.
Watson- probably get him.
Furdge- if we want him.
Patterson- JUCO.
So, I wouldn't be surprised if we got them all. Eventually we get Patterson after JUCO. Three are out of state players trying to get mostly local offers from SEC schools. Furdge is a numbers guy.

Thanks much. Hope it goes that way with a surprise OL man or DB. Hail State!

And remember even if we signed all four of those we have some spots still open which I am sure we will probably use on OL.

From my understanding, Ark is not a huge factor. Bama is a factor & Tennessee could become a factor.
A Bama offer is not expected though
