"SEC schools that have no commitments in the Rivals 100: Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina and Vanderbilt."

2 of these just hired new coaches, Vandy is Vandy. WTF is our excuse?

I think we will rectify this situation soon. Looks like the coaches are busting their asses right now. Good thing.

Sorry, but I don't buy his. Dan is lazy AF in regards to recruiting. He's even admitted as much when he said something about not recruiting players from other parts of the country.

Funny -- didn't see you posting last year when we were cleaning up. Suspect you'll disappear next month when the chips start falling as well.

Interesting fact about Rivals - a few years ago when I still followed recruiting, they bumped every SEC commit they had rated to 3 stars. That's all I needed to know they really didn't evaluate players - they obviously base their rankings more on which schools have offered.

Do we even have a legitimate MSU rivals site anymore?

It's because all of the blue chip recruits we are after this year are late commits. We won't have a top 25 class, but we will haul in a few good ones before signing day.

Coming off our greatest season in history! A season where we were #1 for five straight weeks! We were in the national spotlight all year. SHOULD be the greatest class we've ever signed. It's disappointing at this stage, but it will be ok if/when we sign Jeffrey Simmons and AJ Brown. Those two would probably put us in the top 30. Also remember that this past year's recruiting class was ranked ahead of Ole Miss and was a very solid class.

Nah - myusernamesucks has been a long time opponent of Mullen recruiting. He does it every year.

I also think the size of your school's subscriber base for that network affects rankings somewhat as well. A guy who might be borderline from gaining an extra star and they are committed to a big site for that network - for example - the Ole Miss and State scout sites - they might get that extra star to make the subscribers happy.

Nothing to see here, all is fine. This is just emotional thinking and acting like a petulant child after losing to your rival badly for two straight years. We just need to know our place. Games are won in the Fall, not in February. Stars don't matter. Or something like that.

Our coaches are excellent evaluators, they know what they're doing. We get the hard working kids that want to be here, etc. etc...

I can't believe

this clown hasn't been banned yet. It's pretty obvious that he's a Nafoom troll, and has been doing this for years. Seriously, just look at his last 20 posts. I'd venture to guess all of them are "mullErnz SucKs at croOTin!!1" Actually, his last 1000 are probably that.

He isn't. He's actually a brother/cousin (can't remember) of another MSU poster on here.

No they didn't. We've signed at least one 2* every year..most of them had been committed since the summer before signing day and they remained a 2* throughout the process. Nice fact*

Absolutely. 247 doesn't do 2 stars for MSU recruits anymore. It will be interesting to see if they bump Cushenberry after he commits to us.

Who was the 2* we signed in 2011? How'd that 3* Joey Trapp and Jonathan Harris work out?

I honestly think there were about 5-10 signed in the entire SEC that year out of probably 250 total - mostly vandy, kentucky, and positions like kicker.

"SEC schools that have no commitments in the Rivals 100: Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina and Vanderbilt."

2. Scout
3. ESPN
......and far, far 4th is Rivals.....they are dead....not enough man power......they don't have AJ Brown in top 100 when all the others have him top 50....

WTF is wrong with Rivals is more my question
