I'm disapointed we didn't get Mingo and we have to keep changing our reputation
to correct our WR recruiting but overall it's not a disaster. Our class meets needs much better than our rival at this point and that's more important in my eyes. I wish we could have signed one more DL and of course Mingo but we didn't.

Agreed - we really missed an opportunity to dramatically upgrade our talent level for the next few years with the 2019 class in Mississippi, but this is still a very good class and now is not the time to give up on Moorhead.
I think the most concerning thing is we will not sign a full class today. Right now, we aren’t even close. Need to pull 4 more guys from somewhere.
Can we go ahaead and cheat for players next year
And then count these as self imposed penalties?
We won’t sign a full class in one of Mississippi’s most talented years unless we go steal south Alabama recruits. That’s VERY concerning especially when you remember how he squandered the #1 defense in the country this past year and went 8-5
Yeah. What are we looking at, 21 or 22 signees? This class in MS is so deep. To land 4 or 5 out of the Top 20 and then under sign is a disappointment.
Steve pointed out this staff has been burned by the “all eggs in one basket” this year. Hopefully they work through it.

I’m not implying that this is Moorhead’s fault, but it is damn disappointing to know that we couldn’t even out-recruit OM during probation and a 2-year bowl ban. From the viewpoint of the website experts, there is virtually no difference in the schools’ last two classes
He got Charles Cross to flip back from FSU and he's a 5 star OT. Actually the highest OL prospect we've ever signed. The rest of the OL prospect are legit too and not projects like Mullen signed. Got a really good QB too and still stocked on DLs although we did miss out on headcase Charles Moore that Mullen also wouldn't have landed.
Cross would have ended up at OM if Mullen was still here.
Mullen really capitalized off that 2014 season too didn't he? Didn't he go 5-7 2 years later? That's right he did...
Just face it, most kids want to get out of MS. It is what it is. We'll get some good ones, but we won't get most of the good ones because they'd rather get out of MS and when a blue blood school wants you, it makes it much easier.
It also makes it a lot harder when we lose our staff to teams in the same division. It also makes it hard when you lose literally your entire coaching staff to another SEC school 2 years ago.
We're going to be fine. At worst, we're still recruiting at Dan's level ranking wise, but actually have good QB and OL prospects and trying to run an offense that'll actually be capable of beating Bama if the players develop properly.

Mullen almost never signed a full class. It's why we were constantly under the 85 limit. I think we were at 79 or 80 schollies a couple years ago. Oh yeah, he never used schollies on specialists either. Never made sense.
You had me until the end. The comment on building an offense that can defeat Bama though...I laughed so hard that I sharted.
Fixed it before you...Cohen wanted to hire a coach “on the cheap” saying they would use the extra money on assistants.... he did hire a coach on the cheap, but the money for the assistants didn’t happen.
I’m a more positive state fan but unfortunately I’m tending to agree with the OP.... he put out one of the worst offenses we’ve seen since Croom as an offensive guy and is now probably only going to sign 5 of the states top 20 in a year when this was suppose to be our most talented season. All while OM is having to basically restart their program and we still can’t take advantage. I do have to say he signed a great class in December but he needed a positive win and it’s not looking like he’s going to get it today. I hope Moorhead proves us all wrong but I haven’t seen much positive return on this hire yet.
Were you unaware that you have to be able to throw the ball down field to beat Bama and Mullen never could stretch the field passing the ball deep while he was here? Even when he had Dak he couldn't hit a deep ball.
You wasted a shart.

He's signing at 9 with his teammates I presume https://twitter.com/TheRealNathan22/status/1089894063648763905
I get what you're saying but getting out of MS to go to Auburn, AL isn't anything to get excited about really. Ditto for Gainesville.. once you get off campus, it's a dump
For us that do not follow 17/18 year-olds, what is all the melt down about? Give me the cliff notes version.
We didn't sign some WR and a bunch of overly-emotional pussies are having hissy fits about it. I bet if they were wearing pearls they'd be clutching them right now too.
You know in order to get better and compete we need better players. If we don’t get them, we will never take the next level. This years in state talent was a first step in doing that and we whiffed on a lot of players. That’s why people are upset
