Summer Football Recruiting..

[57stratdawg]

Rosebowl said he thinks we pretty much clean up MS this year. Going by the 247 listing, he thinks we finish with #1, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Thats:

1) Malik Heath
3) James Williams
4) Jayden Crumdey
5) Kwtravious Johnson
6) Marcus Murphy

Heath and Williams are teammates at Calloway. That should be a roller coaster.

Also, the 2019 MS class is probably the most talented class of a generation. Tough timing for OM if sanctions end up costing them some of those kids.

I think there will be drama with Heath. No reason to really think it, I just have a feeling. It wouldn't surprise me if he decomitted at some point and then flipped back close to signing day.

 

[aTotal360]

Just like all the fake news about Leo and Kobe, I expect the opposition to tweet out plenty of emojis insinuating flipping just to rile up the fans.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

Who's #2, and where is he projected to go?

 

[Arthur2478]

Who's #2, and where is he projected to go?

The RB at Hattiesburg. Supposedly he really wants to go to LSU, but its unclear if he has a committable offer from them. Their class is really big right now. Not sure there is room for him. Also, LSU's big class might bode well for us with Cole Smith, who is No. 7 in the MS rankings.

Edit: LSU already has 22 commits, 2 of which are RBs.

Yep, Yancy teases his followers on a regular basis that Heath is going

to waiver.

Not true .. according to my OM buddy who called over the weekend just to inform that they had just beat MSU in recruiting an 'All American' RB out of Jones CC.

When I said that I didn't even know we were even recruiting a JC RB, he told me he read all about in on the OM 24/7 site. Sure 'nuff, David Johnson wrote .. "Phillips committed to Ole Miss over offers from Miami (Fla.), Mississippi State, UAB and Connecticut." LINK

Meanwhile, under Phillips profile, it shows offers from OM, Miami, UAB and UCONN. NO MSU OFFER.

Bottom line. OM is going to 'win the recruiting title' even if they have to lie to do it!

OM doesn't want him. At least that's what the OM coaches told Scott Phillips when he committed last week ..

Phillips says Ole Miss told him he was was their number one priority at running back in the 2018 class. "They told me they're taking just one back and they were waiting on me," Phillips shared. "I decided I wanted to be that back that they were going to take.

Honestly, I'm not sure Franklin signs P5. He reminds me of the Hardy kid from Lawrence County that was ahead of Matt Wells at one point. He was the #1 player in the State after some really strong years, but ended up at USM when he didn't really keep progressing.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

A JC RB would be the last thing we would need...

 

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Not a Mississippi guy, but I am pretty excited about possibly landing La'damien Webb. He is RB from near Auburn and Mr. football in Alabama last year as a junior.

Under sized for an SEC RB, but the guy is absolutely electric, and has amazing numbers. I really hope he ends up in maroon.

Yea Steve said he wouldnt be surprised if Franklin dropped to a 3 star before it was all said and done.

It's definitely prime time to take advantage of in state recruiting. Doesn't mean we have to land everyone but hey and extra top player or two that we wouldn't have got.

 

[Xusuromohses]

Alabama players are absolutely essential for us. Keith Mixon was their POY too I think, or maybe the Birmingham Metro POY, and he's working out just great.

 

[57stratdawg]

I agree. Dez Harris will always be a "what if" guy to me. If he doesn't have the ACL issues, I think he's a NFL athlete.

It's great when we find players like Harris, Mixon, DeRunnya, and Malcolm Johnson out of that state.

I like Webb a lot. Just hope we don't get left at the altar because of a late offer from Bama or Auburn. But that's the risk you take when recruiting players from that state. For every Jalen Hurts and Keith Holcombe that we've lost, we've held onto guys like Beniquez Brown and De'Runnya Wilson.

Only a recruiting dumbass would believe we were recruiting a JUCO rb.
