Just lost Paul Gainer. Decomits.

[fishwater99]

Our OL problems continue.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Wtf man

 

[Snog]

Doesn't have another sec offer with ULL and UCF looking hard at him. Still, with our damn track record, I'm happy just to get a warm body.

 

[BossDawg78]

Making room, perhaps?

Hey, just trying to stay positive.

 

[OliveBranchDAWG]

Our OL problems continue.

Rumor is he's worried about our OL "depth" and was told to look elsewhere. Whatever the hell that means

 

[fishwater99]

What depth?

 

[OliveBranchDAWG]

What depth?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Bulldogg31]

Sounds like it may have been our decision to let him go look elsewhere

 

[woozman]

I think it's pretty obvious given his offer list that we asked him to look elsewhere. I live in Gautier and was hoping that he'd do well at State. If he shows up for his official this weekend, I'd wager that we ask him to grey shirt.

 

[coach66]

We are in the unusual position of having many more kids that we want and who

want us than we have available scholarships. Tough decisions to be made. Believe it or not Bowie might not be a take for us.

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

^^^ Exactly

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

If we did ask him to look elsewhere... that's pretty awful for that kid.

 

[engie]

Coach seems to be off in one earlier than usual this morning**

All bs aside, I don't see us technically running out of scholarships. I see Mullen capping signing at 87-88 like he always does. But this class has been full of firsts for him so who knows? Playing with the numbers -- that seems the logical approach. Because if we have the amount of attrition I'm expecting, it allows us to sign a semblance of a full class next year, when we only have at maximum 13 seniors.

We are sitting on 73 scholarship players right now(incl Chairs assuming Mullen leaves him on scholly) with 8 commits, so that puts us at 81.

Sign to 88 this season -- lose 5-6 more to (mostly good) attrition by the start of the season next year and a few more after. Enter next season with 78ish on roster and 13 seniors(incl Chairs) = room to sign 22-23 more and a semblance of a full class.

 

[coach66]

We have 18 kids we would like to take that want to come to MSU and 10 or 11

spots is what I heard. Too early to partake for me at my age.

 

[coach66]

Agree, but it sounds like he may have brought it on himself by hand wringing

about OL depth chart. It's hard to say what went down exactly.

 

[Shmuley]

Is he a player?

 

[patdog]

Much better for him than waiting until the week before signing day.

 

[engie]

10-11 more? I'd be surprised if that happens -- but would certainly take it. We definitely need OL help and this seems to follow us usual Hevesy pattern.

 

[fishwater99]

want us than we have available scholarships. Tough decisions to be made. Believe it or not Bowie might not be a take for us.

What are you smoking this morning?

 

[coach66]

Must be this herbal tea. You may see some pleasant surprises at WR if things

fall our way. Bowie odd man out as of now but that can change especially if he declares he wants to play corner.

 

[fishwater99]

So some real 4 or 5 Star talent coming in?

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

true

 

[ShrubDog]

So some real 4 or 5 Star talent coming in?

Stars don't matter only players

 

[fishwater99]

Stars don't matter only players

Only if he has a low pad level...

 

[coach66]

Keep your fingers crossed.

Got to win over mama.

Chairs is moving on.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

I wish him well at ULL.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yeah, that'd be a first****

[kired]

Got to win over mama.

Well then send in Hevesy to seal the deal

 

[rem101]

Looks like he's blaming Hev. Let the hate begin.

“I decommitted because of the lack of communication from the offensive line coaches,” Gainer said. “I talk to (cornerbacks coach Terrell Buckley) almost every week. I just don't feel comfortable with my position coach because I want to talk to him. I've got to get an understanding. I wasn't feeling the love from it.”

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Unreal.

 

[HotMop]

Hevesy is too busy coaching up his players to talk to a....oh wait.

 

[Dawg1976]

So Hev is suppose to check in every week? Maybe that's the way it works but if I had received an offer and committed, I wouldn't expect a follow up phone call every week. Looks like he should have waited so he could have had his cell ringing more.

Sounds like another example of prim donna (pre-madonna) behavior. They should consider it a privilege to have an offer from an SEC school, rather than considering that the school should be honored to have him.

 

[Original48]

I have no idea how recruiting works but if I wanted a player I would stay in touch...especially an O lineman.

 

[kired]

And especially with 1 month until signing day...

 

[Junction John]

...and it doesn't sound like too big a burden for our DB coach to do it, only the OL coach.

 

[Charlie Varney]

My guess is he goes to USM or UCF.

I wish him well at ULL.

USM has to be after him.

 

[Charlie Varney]

I think his offer was pulled. No proof. Just my opinion.

 

[LawDawg97]

If I'm Hevesy's boss

So Hev is suppose to check in every week?.

and I paid him what he's paid, you can bet that a 5 minute phone call to the few kids recruited to his position, once a week for the last few weeks of recruiting season would be the minimum I'd demand. With all the ways you can communicate today that is not a lot to ask.
