Keep your eye on this one. This will tell us a lot about how well Moorhead can fend off the SEC deal making down the stretch.

These late cycle waverings seem to work against us more often than not. For my own sanity I will just count him out and be pleasantly surprised if he signs with us.

I'm already a fan of JoeMo and think his staff has some great coaches .. BUT we need to start going on the offense. We need to start going BACK after ANY Hog, UT or Florida commits that we have previously offered. FORCE Arkansas, UT AND Florida to go on the defense to protect commits.

I’m gonna wait and see on this. Steve contradicted himself later in that same post by saying that his West Point sources are unaware of any pending drama. So which is it?

Also, all of this was reported by Paul like two days ago in a story where Murphy was quoted as saying he was visiting UT but MSU had nothing to worry about.

Could be some real drama here, or it could be some manufactured click bait drama. It would just be extremely out of character for Marcus to go to UT.

Would someone kindly explain to Joe Croomhead the nuances of recruiting in the SEC?

It's real and it's not good

We are fighting an uphill battle on this one. And I doubt Steve said that. There's a ton of concern in West Point.

He and John Cohen.

We'll find out real quick if Cohen underrated "recruiting" in his hiring process. The SEC isn't a pro league that is just about coaching

That would knock the new off MoJo in a hurry. Hopefully the good guys can pull this one out.

I'm gonna guess the less on Tennessee learned from the wrist slap the NCAA gave Mississippi is that it's time to go "all in" on recruiting. I think we're going to have to start participating at a higher level if we want to have a chance going forward.

How MSU would it be to lose 3 of biggest Golden Triangle recruits in the last 10 years?

I'm just curious how we can be fighting an uphill battle against a staff that got hired last week?

The downside to all the SEC hires is that a lot of schools are going all in to make a splash. A lot of them hired guys from programs with recent nattys to sell to kids that are know as energetic recruiters with ties to the south.

Yeah, I'm going to disagree even if it costs us a couple of guys in this class. Let's get through this class clean as a whistle.

We can revisit when we are out from under repeat offenders June 2018.

Precedent has been set. Hire Tom Mars if the NCAA comes calling.

Agreed.....and it's guys like this that it is ok to participate with. The NCAA wouldn't even bat an eye at us beating out UT (or anyone else) for a guy from WP.

i'm not really worried too much about Marcus Murphy. I know everyone is making a push, but I think we will be okay with our guys recruiting him. Murcus and Aeris are friends. I think he wants to play in a high profile offense. Right now we have that with the players we have and Moorhead's system. I think Hud, Huff, Austin, Gibson, and Peterson will go pay him a visit and things will be ok.

Good thing we cleaned house on the staff* This mistake can not be overstated. Need to try and keep looney and buck if it's not too late.

How would this be viewed if the tables were turned?

Big time prospect out of Johnson City, TN that has been a UT fan growing up, has been committed to UT for months, and has been actively recruiting for UT suddenly flips to Mississippi State one week after MSU hires a completely new coaching staff, and has just come off a 4-8 (0-8) season.

Think about that.

Agreed, to add I would imagine with all the recent goings on in Mississippi recruiting the NCAA has observed in the past few years, they may have their ears already open and we don't want to make any major missteps right now.

I really wish Moorhead would have kept those 2 regardless of anything that might be going on with Murphy. Those guys are both tied in big time on the recruiting trail and you could have easily made Looney the TE coach and Hud the WR coach (same position he had at MSU under Mullins). Keeping Tbuck as CB coach would have likely kept Bishop on our commitment list as well.
