At least Recruiting is going WELL

Sucks. He’s a good one. Seems like he’s been looking for a reason to sign elsewhere for a while now.
**yaaaaaaawwwnn**
It's a typical State recruiting cycle. What else is new. Though I'd like to say that I'm genuinely glad I don't have to deal with these kids and their families and kiss their asses on a daily basis. That has to be stressful.

I’m impressed you waited a few minutes after announcement to dog our program
As badly as this year has started....
....losing a nobody recruit from Nowhere, AL won’t make me jump off of a ledge.
Just saying.

The way recruiting works...
...we will replace him with another 3-star from Nowhere, USA.
You can **** your pants all you want. I’ll pass.

Because A few of y’all are talent evaluators. We have the best coaches and recruiters on message boards. We need to fire our staffs and employ the message board.
Dj James was a good recruit yesterday. I won't crap on him bc of sour grapes today. He's a good player that I wish we were gonna get
Probably a good recruit, but he is also one that hadn't been able to get an instate offer and one that MSU fans have been preparing to lose since he didn't sign in the early period. At least I've considered him all but gone since then.
Im sure he is but I also think you want a guy that wants to be in our program. Right now he doesn’t so we go find someone else to fill this spot. Hell he may decide to recommit but if not we may find another player that is more beneficial. Some of the best players we ever had were diamonds in the rough who dreamed of bein SEC players.
I wonder what a good metric would be for % of commits that actually sign with a program.
I’m sure there are a few 95-100% programs out there, but I’d bet 80% or so is pretty standard these days.
It would be interesting to know and would probably help some of our quick-melt fans understand that this is just how recruiting in the 21st century works.

Not every kid can be Big Play Slay. I mean coming to MSU means you have to cover some of the best receivers in the nation each weekend. Not every young man is ready for that challenge. There's a reason why we had the #1 defense this year. Better than Bama. They'll have to compete to start here. Bet on that.
Hell, just replace him with somebody. We are going on the umpteenth year in a row of not being anywhere near the 85 limit. We were at about 80 this past year which was our highest number in the past few years. As of right now we have 20 commits and about 60 returning guys. So we’ll be 5 short if we don’t add anyone to the current class and don’t have any attrition. My guess is we’ll add a few and lose a few guys to probably break even. I don’t understand at all why coaches just swallow these scholarships for no reason...both here and elsewhere. 25 should be our absolute minimum number of guys we bring in this year. If we have to, I say find the guys we like best at a need position (like WR or CB) on all the Sun Belt, CUSA, etc commit lists and offer them if we have no one else. Cut em loose next January or the year after if they can’t hang. Nothing to lose.
He was the one the staff went to the Cracker Barrel in Spanish Fort with a while back. Guess he didn’t like the pancakes and bacon.
