Watched video. Moves his feet pretty good. Decent technique. Has obviously gotten halfway decent coaching. Looks like he got action at guard and tackle. Who knows?

Why would anyone want to be a bulldog knowing the bitching that goes on because they aren't in the espn 100.

All right, that's enough. I don't have a problem criticizing players, but calling a high school player pathetic is too far. So can it.

Maybe in a few years, he will be developed into a fine blocker on the field goal unit. There is o line recruiting, then there is Msu o line recruiting. I say let's let southern miss do all the work identifying the talent, then at the last minute, throw everything we got into an attempt at flipping them. I actually think that would work.

It's hard not to be frustrated at this kind of stuff tho. Maybe the staff thinks the OL commits are good quality so they can take on a project, I dunno.

But an SEC school taking a commit who admits we were the ONLY school even offering? Talent gap between us and the rest of the west isn't going to shrink that way.

Can't work out any worse than what our strategy is now.

Personal attacks aside, I took Rubs comment as an indictment of our recruiting not an attack on the kid. But everybody has to agree that our offensive line is suffering right now and we must raise our efforts to the next level to right the ship. The question is do you continue to go after the unheralded kids with few offers or do put your efforts into highly ranked kids and do your damnest to get them on campus. Are we doomed to be only a development school or is it possible to be at least a lower level elite recruiting school. .

Come on guys. Recruits especially specific recruits are off limits. You guys should know that; you don't help the talent situation by criticizing recruits we are after.

It's an attack on a 17 year old kid. rugby (sp?). I'm quite sure I would dislike you as a person if I knew you.

Sorry but Blitz is right, especially when you make one kid an example of your agenda for an online post.

You can't have it both ways.

Living in Ga rumors are the kid is good but may or may not qualify and that is keeping suitors away

^what this guy said. Nobody was beating down Donald Grays door either because it was known he was a non qualifier. The recruiting idiots see that nobody is recruiting him so he's not going to get ranked high. If the RB from Clinton was known that he wouldn't qualify he wouldn't be a 5 star and would be ranked much lower, that's just how it goes

Go watch the video. The kid can move his feet. No small feat at 6'7" 300. Get his *** qualified.

We've had good luck with a few guys where we were their only decent offer. We got a kid from Louisiana whose only offers were

Louisiana Tech
Louisiana-Lafayette
McNeese State
Memphis
North Texas
Northwestern State
TCU

He played a pretty good game last night.

Obviously not every player works out that that but you never know. You can't tell heart and desire from an offer sheet.

They don't look at the video. All they see is that "we were the only ones that wanted him." The video shows the kid can move at his size. I thought he used the wrong technique in a couple of the plays but he is definitely athletic. I'm happy that the kid chose MSU, and I hope he and his family don't read message boards. Recruiting offensive linemen is a challenge for all teams. It is the most difficult position to grade in high school to me. I think we have talent on our team right now. I believe our scheme is not good, and some kids are out of position. I also don't believe we are consistently playing the best performing kids, but I'm not seeing them in practice either.

A 2 star with State as its marquee offer? Terrible. Sounds a lot like...

"They were the only school that was really trying to get me," Richardson said. "They made sure I was doing my work, kept in contact with me, and it was just the little things."

These other 2 Star ham and eggers we've been stuck with over these past few years:
Chris Jones
Preston Smith
Dak Prescott
Fletcher Cox
Bernardrick McKinney
Vick Ballard
Malcolm Johnson
Gabe Jackson

Yeah, you can go back and look today and see them with more stars, but that's not where they were before their Mississippi State offer.

Dak even made a reference to it in his interview with Mike Tirico this week:
"I was a 2 star that got bumped to a 3 star because I got an offer from an SEC school."

Dak is certainly doing his part to keep the SEC and especially MSU and Mullen in a positive light.
