Daniels commit

[softballfanatic1]

Daniels committed this AM. No talk yet? Maybe I missed the thread.

 

[Cooterpoot]

Huge, but a long way to signing day with him.

 

[softballfanatic1]

Point taken from the best name on SPS

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Wow, that’s actually big time. Like cooterpoot said though, gonna have to hang on to our balls with him.

It does seem like he wants State the most.

 

[msstate7]

Nice. Good job, leach

 

[softballfanatic1]

Seeing as how I’m banned from ED. Thought I’d share it here with more reasonable peeps.

Who is Daniels?

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Here is the article for those of us not totally plugged into recruiting. He would fill a big need at CB if he signs.

Who is Daniels?

3-4 ⭐️ corner from George County. Offers from Auburn +

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

4* CB...offers from auburn and Georgia, among a few other SEC schools.

Huge win for us if it sticks.

I can’t believe Leach was able to get a 4 star defensive commit while on his rampage against Texas Tech! **

 

[Cooterpoot]

He's not a CB. He's a Safety at the next level.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

He is the #6 rated cornerback in the country according to 247 sports, but I suppose they might move him to safety. If he is actually the sixth best corner in the country I think that would be kinda silly but we will see

 

[olblue.sixpack]

^^^^keeps up with defensive recruiting

 

[olblue.sixpack]

Definitely should rely on Paul Jones to determine where best to play these guys.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Oh you are right. Maybe we should put him at QB since he often plays that position too. Or WR.....wonder where he ranks nationally there ? Top notch cornerbacks are a hot commodity and pretty valuable. But obviously he will play where Leach decides he best fits. But if he has the speed and cover skills to be a shutdown corner I doubt they will waste that talent. But I'm sure SPS knows best

 

[Ralph Cramden]

But hey...maybe he is the 4th best safety in the nation ? Either way its a win

 

[paindonthurt_]

I’m sure the experts at recruiting sites know the best also.

Most of the time the projected position is based on what coaches tell recruits.

A lot of speculation is that he is being projected as a safety.

Who knows, but him being the #6 CB in the country means abt as much as Damien Robinson being a highly touted 4 star tackle.

 

[Ibdancin]

He's not a CB. He's a Safety at the next level.

Regardless, he is a great player and a very good pick up

 

[Carbaryl]

He's ranked as an athlete on 247 not as a corner.They'll give him a look at both but most expect he ends up at safety.

 

[Cooterpoot]

This thread just proves this a damn political board now. Some of you 17rs don't have a damn clue about out recruiting or care about football. You just try to argue.

 

[Supdawg2]

He projects as a safety bc of his size. He’s already 200lbs and will put on more weight once he gets in a college weight room. Not many 215lb corners out there

 

[paindonthurt_]

Very similar to Quinton Culberson when he came to MSU.
Freshman year started at corner for abt 5 to 6 games and played well.
Moved to safety.
Moved to linebacker and ended up being pretty good there. Too small for that position in the nfl but made a good career on special teams.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

Seen a lot of people here say that they doubt this commitment sticks. I don’t know the kid and am not close to his recruitment, but do know someone who coaches at GC.

IMO, he sticks with not a ton of fanfare. Outside of the obvious tie with his cousin on our team, there are A LOT of GC high school kids that end up at State- and evidently a lot of his friends are here. He comes up regularly to visit.

Contrary to some OM confidence, they are not our biggest competition- that would be A&M and the Mckinley Jackson connection. The dead period helps us with this for sure though. Daniels is a December grad and early enrollee, so with that timeline, official visits are pretty much out of the question. He will be in Starkville this fall way more than College Station, if he even ever takes a trip there at all.

We will need to stay on him, but frankly, based on what I hear, State just makes the most sense. Of course this is recruiting, and in recruiting things happen all the time that don’t make sense (Justin Walley).

 

[Hankp22]

That's huge

If you're a DB and want an attempt to play SEC football early, we should be an attractive destination.

Good work from our staff. Got to close though.

Scoob put me in timeout a while back. Those guys are egomaniacs.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Well he was meeting his attorney at the Waffle House in Hattiesburg so he figured he drive a little further and do some recruiting while he was close.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Huge, but a long way to signing day with him.

Accept for the fact the kid has family members that were players and others who are or were students. MSU is in his blood.

Relax blue, your wife will eventually come back. If not, there's always the hot tub lulzz

Yeah I’m still in the corner as well. Supposed to be let out of internet jail when State football starts. Bunch of egomaniacs? Ha! I raise you.... a bunch of wussy snowflakes.
