Can somebody explain what positive purpose this thread has to help on our recruting? Anytime a post starts off I have a friend who said....? It makes you wonder?

It's just such a coincidence all these threads have popped up this afternoon, across multiple MSU sites, about AJ and they happen to all contain negative info about him signing with us in some form or fashion. Haven't we seen this playbook before?

Yep, they must be really getting desperate.

So far on AJ I have heard from several people that know the family or know someone that knows the family... yada yada yada.

Some say he wants to get out of Starkville,
Some say he is State bound.
Me says don't nobody know s*@%!

I said I think it's more of a battle with Bama for AJ. And there are posters who are close to the program and have a good track record are confident he is ours. A few have already called it 100%. Some are confident but said if he doesn't visit at all, OV or unofficial then they may start to worry. But not before the visits are over.

You lost me at "there are posters who are close to the program and have a good track record."

Well bye. You are saying that you don't keep up with recruiting enough or for a long enough period of time to know when certain posters bring information that you should take stock in it.

One name. Please. Just one handle that you put stock in on this board.

Yep. And people on all of the MSU sites fall for it every single year. We should all make a pact to not talk recruiting in January. Would probably help us some.

Yeah, that's a great idea. The focus should be on the excitement around MSU basketball and college baseball.

No one is trashing A.J. Brown.

Besides what is the positive purpose of any thread on a sports message board? Is the board here for the frank discussion of Mississippi State sports or to support recruiting? And what does that even look like? Thread after thread of posts like "Jimmy Bobby is the best! Sure hope he signs with the Bulldogs."

Also, based on my experience trying to read this board on my iPhone, I doubt recruits are reading this or any other message board.

Extremely naive. Recruits set google notifications for their names. When they are mentioned on the internet -- they get a link pushed to their phone. I guess that's one notch more complex than "your experience trying to read SPS from your iPhone".

If you are looking for a realistic view of what a fanbase is and what they think of you -- what do you think is more accurate -- what you see online or the rock star treatment you get in person everywhere you go?

I know how Google Alerts work.

I have multiple set up (for example: "Mississippi State" football, "Malik Newman", "Jennifer Lawrence" naked), and message boards posts don't show up in them. Blogs do, but not message boards. Again, message boards aren't as popular as they were 10 years ago, especially in the age of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

But so what? No one here is bashing Brown. I and a few others are expressing disappointment that his recruitment by State appears to be going poorly.
