Mississippi/Alabama All-Star Game Thread

[engie]

On WLBT in Jackson at noon.

MSU Commits:
Mississippi:
#20 - Kylin Hill RB
#83 - Aaron Odom DE
#79 - Paul Gainer OL
#84 - Austin Williams WR
#93 - James Jackson DT

targets:
#30 - Willie Gay LB
#22 - CJ Avery S

longshots:
#1 - Cam Akers RB
#2 - DD Bowie WR

Not sure we're chasing anyone on team Alabama this year, which is strange. I haven't followed recruiting this year hardly at all, so someone feel free to fill in all of my omissions/mistakes.

Willie Gay's gloves solidified his commitment**

Got high hopes for Gainer, Odom and Jackson. Surprised Odom has slipped this week.

Any live streaming? I can't get it on tv.

Willie with a missed TFL there. He'll fit right in**

Tremendous closing speed though.

Mullen coaching special teams for Mississippi?

Nm

 

[57stratdawg]

#51 player in the country now, I believe. Heck of an athlete.

 

[Dawgbite]

#38 LB for Alabama has a nose for the ball.

 

[engie]

Odom with a big play. And Gay has been all over the field.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

KYLIN HILL TD RUN - OMG

This kid has a chance to be special

 

[00Dawg]

Akers is faster than Hill, but doesn't seem to have the same vision. Neither one is trucking people, but both fall forward.
Both look impressive, but I'm not seeing stuff from Akers that would make me think he's the #4 player in the nation.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Myles Brennan.....LOL

He will fill right in at Ole Miss...

 

[Shamoan]

Score?

 

[engie]

13-7 Bama at halftime. They don't have an offensive TD yet.

Both DLs are dominating the corresponding OLs. MS's problem is getting cute trying to pass instead of just running the option with Hill and Akers.

 

[Shmuley]

Impressed with Gay. Impressed with the WR, #2. Impressed with Hill. Akers has been bottled up. Super impressed with Alabama #27, #44, #5 and the one that de-snotted the poor Mississippi whitebread QB and separated him from the football. Alabama #2 is pretty damn slippery.

 

[HaleStater]

He will fill right in at Ole Miss...

Brennan doesn't look good to me. Poor decision maker and takes drive killing sacks. Needs coaching!

 

[Shmuley]

Yeah, but he makes up for that by staring down his receiver.

 

[The Fatboy]

MS takes the lead on an interception returned for TD by Kam White. 14-13

 

[hail1984]

What happened with our JJ Russell commit ? I believe he is a heck of a player.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Me either. When I see 5 stars and hype like his, I think of Fournette or similar. He's nowhere close. We are just fine with Hill.

 

[57stratdawg]

It's funny, this game is always close and we always lose.

 

[RightOfCenter]

What is the Score now?

 

[57stratdawg]

Bama wins. 25-14.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Final stats for MS players?

 

[engie]

Some really, really poor coaching from the MS side. Not having a kicker and long snapper killed them as well.

Kylin Hill MS MVP.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

Coaching is a problem for the kids from Mr Sipi almost every year, is it not?

[Uncle Ruckus]

A high amount of MS coaches still use the wing t or double wing t offense. No innovation. And coaches getting into coaching learn from coaches still using this offense. Rinse and repeat. I think it's why you see someone like Stanislaus have so much success against 4a schools down here. Their opponents don't see anything but the wing all year until they face them. Also doesn't hurt that they get to pick and choose their athletes from a 30 mile radius

 

[engie]

It is. Except for last year.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Since you watched the game, is Bowie a legit game changer? I watched him singlehandedly beat Magee in '15. I know he had a pick 6 playing limited defense, ran and caught TDs and man have returned one. Regardless, he was a force and I thought he looked like an elite talent.

 

[engie]

He's an elite talent, but Brennan didn't have time to get him the ball much. He was mostly running for his life and being run down at an incredibly high rate. Bowie had flashes, but it wasn't how it's been the last few years with MS QBs that could get the ball to the WRs. Rumor is that his commitment is a little shaky right now, so it may be interesting to see, although I suspect he still goes to OM.

 

[99jc]

I don't think he is as good as AJ....jmo.

Interesting to note that several of MS' top OL weren't invited since they're at private schools

 

[engie]

I'm not sure he stays at WR at the next level
