Good ****

 

[josebrown]

How many 4&5 stars can we sign and still be developmental?*

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

Maybe we can develop them in to 6 stars

 

[engie]

All of them*

Simmons sure developed between last year and this year.

But a couple more in the boat really early could go a long way towards beginning to change the narrative on "Mullen is leaving and just can't get the talent to win big here". 2019 is going to be ridiculous.

 

[josebrown]

That would be great!* Simmons is a beast, I can't believe we still get next year out of him too. He gon be fun to watch the rest of this year and next!!

I just glanced at the 2019 rankings over at 247.... and dear God, we need to keep that group in state. What a tremendous list of in state players. And what a tremendous time to have crippling sanctions being queued up for our buddies.

 

[57stratdawg]

It’s the best in State class of a generation, IMO.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Looks like a good CB candidate, am I correct?

This is one of the reasons that a great year in 2017 could do wonders for the future.

Yeah, that's what a bunch of us have been screaming for awhile on that class. I think the list of guys in state that already have power5 offers is already approaching 30 players. A year plus in advance.

The only position, of course, in the 2019 class is OL guys from what I remember. Hopefully a few emerge as legit SEC players.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Sweet! Starting to reap rewards for Sirmoning Sirmons.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

The next step..develop a bunch of 5 tool guys...

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Thought we only signed 2 stars?*

 

[Junction John]

Who the F downvotes this? Are there still lurking sharks around, or does engie have secret admirer stalkers?

 

[Crazy Cotton]

he's listed at 6'3" how's his hands? And he was at the LSU game for his first ever official visit. That's going to be the gift that keeps on giving.

"They actually offered me this summer but I didn't find out until this weekend that I had that offer," said Black. "But definitely last weekend let me know where I wanted to be and it was the best weekend. I love their family atmosphere they bring to the table and the passion the defense plays with. I like how they focus on academics and how all of that is set up. Basically, I just love Mississippi State."

Recruiting is on fire in all four big sports.

That's reason #5 'why' Dan Mullen stays at Mississippi State!

 

[coach66]

He plays receiver and is a good one I'm sure. just have to see how all the

chips fall.

 

[coach66]

These are the best of times!

[Southern Law Dawg]

People are saying that he'd be a hybrid defender, J.T. Gray style.

Yahtzee!
