Now on to 2018 Recruiting

[Dawgs'n'Grizz]

Time to start looking ahead to next year. Seems like WR and OL are going to be the biggest need positions. Biggest targets/commits I've seen are Malik Heath, Marcus Murphy, Nik Hogan, & Devonta Jason. Who else are we likely to go after?

 

[57stratdawg]

Big help with Heath landing Odom. But, yes, OT and WR look like needs. Likely a QB too.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Looks like there's another big time RB

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Would like at least 5 offensive linemen. I would take 4 from high school, and a decent JUCO we could redshirt and be ready to play in 2019.

Next year we are going to have fish out of state. And it scares the hell out of me.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Make Louisiana and Alabama our second homes.

Lot of solid talent down those two lists. Talent we can drive to see.

Wait...weren't you the one I was arguing with about us needing to OOS even more?

LA is loaded with WRs and DBs in '18. We need to make this LA WR our #1 OOS priority .. 4. Devonta Jason (WR), 6'3", 187, Landry-Walker
A perfect blend of size and speed, Jason is a very physical receiver who just goes up and gets it. The one-time LSU commit has tremendous upside, and I would not be surprised if we look back at this class in 3-4 years and say he developed into the best player from this class.

Keytaon is the 'key' (sorry for the pun) .. we need to get him in the class!

 

[Hoover Dawg]

I don't know, but if I was, what is the point?

8 of the 11 guys we signed today are from out of state.

Damn you and your facts.

 

[aTotal360]

Traditionally, geography is our #1 recruiter. We rarely pull highly rated kids from OOS. Maybe 1 per class. Luckily for us, we've struck gold in Louisiana as of late.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

Louisiana and Georgia have been good for us.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Any particular reason Moss Point hasn't put out more talent lately?

Worth noting that I saw where former Bama 4* DT signee from Texas, Kendell Jones, transferred to Co-Lin today. He failed to get academically eligible at Bama this past season. He will probably be a big-time recruit again chased by everybody, but I'm just putting the name out there since he's at Co-Lin...

 

[Chris Mannix]

Heath is ours unless something changes. I know there is a great deal of time between now and then. Not that I am cool but I have a buddy that follows callaway football in Jackson that says after Odom it's a done deal on Heath.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

No. I don't want to think about 17-18 yr old boys unless they're already wearing maroon. And at this point maybe just the ones in caps & pinstripes.

 

[engie]

You don't?

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Doesn't look like there's any OL hardly in MS for 2018

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

How does the fattest state in the union not produce any OL

 

[os62]

Moss point has been done for years now. Once they shut down the paper mill, the jobs left and so did the people. It's the lone school district on the coast that is remotely bad. It's been taken over by the state, I believe.

 

[engie]

It's a good year for MS to be down, since we will have the least room we have had any time under Mullen...

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

OL, WR and another QB and RB.

I'll say it one more time... There are a LOT of these players in Texas in the Austin/San Antonio area that have been playing the spread since Pop Warner.

They need to send a couple of scouts over here to live for a couple of months in the fall.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

The school is just awful. Really, really awful.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Yeah. Last time I went through there it was looking pretty crappy. I guess I just figured the right coach could come in and at least produce players. Like a Noxubee County or something.
