Aaron Odom flips to Louisville

We can't recruit. We got the better D.C. but are losing players to Lville.
Come on Dawgs.
When is Grantham going get us a player?

That's very strange. UL plays 2nd fiddle to UK in football too. The Grantham-Sirmon swap says a lot. Isn't Odom a defensive player? Shocking.
So our top DL recruit was solidly committed for almost a year, and then we lose him before he officially visits. Inexcusable.
We finally have a year where OM recruiting is down and we let 17ing Louisville come and take our guys.
Is this "strong close" still coming?**

We also lost a DE to Tenn from Miami. Likely losing several WR targets to LSU. If we miss on Willie Gay, it's another subpar effort from Mullen.
We got put in a situation this year where we needed to process a significant number of players to try to rebuild our program from a talent perspective. This is how we got there.

And he told Steve he was just going to visit his friend and was 100% committed to MSU
He also called Yancy a liar about 3 hours before he flipped his commitment on twitter. Glad I don't make a living trying to decipher whether or not these bozos are telling the truth about where they are going to college.
Sirmon defensive rankings...
Scoring defense -- 93rd
Rushing def -- 70th
Passing def -- 120th
Total def -- 110th
Have fun Odom... sirmon's own kid is smart enough not to play for him
What's really sad is, we hired his former coach Patrick Austin to be a "recruiting specialist" and still lost Odom
From listening to Bo Bounds - this is the first one that is a true loss. The others one were encouraged to look around.
I'm just waiting to see who the 3 that were encouraged to look will be replaced with.

If he's doing that, he really is a piece of ****. But we also know he's a
master 'interviewer', and probably why he does a good job with recruits.
He's all sizzle, no steak.

Sirmon might go down as the worst decision Mullen ever made.
- Coordinated the worst defense I've seen in decades. which resulted in 2-3 losses solely because of how terrible he was
- Now is trashing us in recruiting. What a cluster17
MSU has officially turned the calendar to late January!
It is so frustrating to watch this crap year after year after year.

This Odom play is probably more about Malik Heath....
Sirmon had the intel that Heath and Odom are good friends. I wouldn't be surprised if they are making the play this year to reel in the bigger fish next year.
If it comes down to losing 2 recruits or keeping Sirmon, I think we still came out ahead. Sirmon wasn't going to magically turn the corner any time soon, in my mind. He's an unmitigated disaster.

Understand, but that's still not an excuse to lose an in-state recruit to Louisville.
Why can't we have recruits that have friends they are trying to get here like it works for other schools? That crap never works for us.
Not good at all, but not the end of the world either. Reading the MSU sites today, you would think our program is done and over. Even the Random one has proclaimed Mullenz will never win it all.
We need some internet Zanax to hand out.
Flame away.

It's pretty close, at least in the recruiting circles. We have all the momentum in the world and this stuff still is happening. It's become an epidemic. Look back at what the only thing left we needed in 2014 - one more player here or there. Bad recruiting bites you. Nobody is even asking these guys to be elite recruiters. We are simply asking them not to lose 2 Dandy Dozen in-state players to a mid-level program in the ACC.
Monterio Hunt - really like the kid but we backed off of him too
Kaleb Oliver - good player but we signed 3 jucos at his position correct? So this one was a mutual thing
Emmit Gooden - Nobody is beating his door down since he decommitted, so that tells me we backed off on him.
Losing Odom is the first real one that hurts for many reasons. Hell, we've got his former coach on the staff. We've had him committed since April Did he have that great a relationship with Sirmon? Did Sirmon talk negatively about Mullen and MSU? How can he go from a solid MSU commit to shutting down his commitment down after one visit to Louisville. Losing him won't kill the class but it most definitely hurts and may be worse if Heath decides to follow him there next season.
Please do not interrupt the annual January mini-meltdown. Self-flagellation is an art form here.
Yeah, I'm used to it. I'm way to anxious to see what our defensive staff changes make to our team to get caught up in one DT flip. I'm more concerned with our remaining OL and WR signees if I have to be wailing about recruiting.
I'm also curious to see what our new staff does next season. I hope we are putting the "knock their *** off" approach back into our defense.
I'm also pretty certain this flip has a lot to do with our departing D.C. seeing as he flipped to Louisville.
I don't buy the things I've read elsewhere about kissing *** instead of telling the recruits you have to work your *** off in our program. I would rather keep building with players who like the lunch pail approach.
