Can anyone tell me why bo bounds and other Jackson sports talk guys are having a meltdown over this kid committing to LSU?

Cause his dad played at MSU and wants his kid to play at MSU. We will offer.

His dad was my neighbor in elementary school until they moved to Pontotoc. Brent had a size 17(pun) shoe in 9th grade. Still a huge human being now. Can't imagine why we won't offer soon.

Hev's got so many 4 and 5 star OL recruits wanting to play for him we have to be really careful who we throw out early offers to.*******

My question is this. This kid is a junior this season. Why is it such a HUGE deal right now? The kid has been on our campus I'm sure his entire life and if he's worth a ****, he will get an offer at some point. So the hell what we haven't offered him one yet. He's freaking 16-17 with an entire year of high school left before he signs with anyone. If oue coaches decide he is worthy of an offer and he decides he wants to come to MSU he will.

Who started this melt anyway? It's the slow time for talk radio so they need **** like this to keep interest in their show and dogging the **** out of our oline coach and recruiting is always gonna be there for the picking. Has Brent said something or Cole said something about not being offered or did one of our message board Hevesy haters take that and run with it? Just curious

It is another reason to bash Hevesy for some who like doing that. While we have consistently put very productive offenses on the field for the last few years, beginning with Tyler Russell through Ftiz. I think we will be very productive this coming season. Also I expect the defense to be significantly better this year under the new coaching staff. One thing you can say for Dan if he made a mistake in a hire he will do something about it as soon as possible.

I agree with you on this. I'm sure he will get an offer. So, who gives a **** if we were not his first.

Because he's an offensive lineman and John Hevesy still coaches our OL. If anyone within the state of MS commits elsewhere to play OL, regardless of stars, a portion of our fan base are going to act like 17ing idiots. He signs in 11 months. We have plenty of time to get in the game with him.

We secretly offered him already but he committed to LSU for the sole purpose of flipping***

From what I understand he'd be committed to us already if we'd offered. Now his family feels insulted that other schools were offering be we wouldn't... and he's thrilled with LSU.

Maybe he ends up with us - but I get the impression he was ours to lose, and at this point we've lost him.

My question is if he wants to go to MSU and is so sure he is going to get an offer then why the rush to commit to LSU?? If he didn't have an MSU offer but had not pulled the trigger for LSU none of this would even be a topic for discussion.

So you recommend that a 3-star recruit just tell LSU to hold on for a few months while he shops around? What if he hopes to enroll early somewhere and be on campus in January?

That's what I want to know. Where are people hearing this from? Some made up BS on a message board, a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of the family, from LSU source, or from the actual family?

I don't read other boards - heard this from friend of the family, but have no clue how much truth there is to it. He's a UM fan fwiw, but he really doesn't get into college football that much - he follows nfl more than college.

His father cared when he gave his word he would sign with MSU after uofm offered late. (And uofm was his favorite team until he committed.) Sometimes it does matter.

He wears MSU stuff all the time. Well, maybe not anymore.

Nobody is forcing the kid to give his word to LSU now. If he really wanted the Msu offer then he could have waited a little bit for an offer from state. Again, I just don't see the big deal here. There is plenty of time for an offer to be made and if the kid really wants to be at state then he will.

After reading more about it today, my guess is that state has not given him an indication that they will offer. If he knew for sure state would offer, he would not have committed.

So now people I went to high school with are having their kids recruited to college. Yikes. Just feel like I moved up an age demographic and didn't even know about it.

Oh... I thought he might have known something concrete.

Yeah, a picture with Yaw Yaw is a binding contract.**

Just out of curiosity, how many SEC schools have offered OL as of now?
Are we the only one that has not sent offers to OL prospects?

Faiyarzz Mullenzz!

I meant the guy I'd spoken to was a UM fan - not the kid. I don't know him or his dad personally.

If it was a 'commit now' or forget we ever offered from LSU, I can understand 'why' he pulled the trigger.

And, January is ~10 months from now! It's way early in the recruiting season .. even for someone wishing to enroll early.

So a recruit takes

a pic with a coach from a school that they are being recruited by means they're going to that school?

Well there is the little COMMITMENT thingy to go along with the pic. Also he seems like the type kid (given his family`s background) that would be very prone to keep is word.

Well yeah, but

you were using the picture as evidence that it's a done deal.

I would have personally gone with the fact someone committed over a picture of them...

I`ll have to admit to you that I was also implying that coach O + LSU is a pretty potent recruiting combo that will win more recruiting battles than they lose UNLESS/UNTIL coach O starts laying a turd on the bayou. LOL
