So, a couple thoughts:

• Looks like a really deep year. Normally don't see many guys #15-#30 with multiple SEC offers, but some of those guys have them this year.
• Knott is probably the best player in MS. No surprise there.
• Reakwon Davis is probably a bit overrated
• No idea why Dickens feel so far. He was like the #3 or #4 player in the state.
• Kobe Jones has turned some heads this year as have Crowell. Surprised they're not higher.

 

[aTotal360]

Dickens hasn't camped enough and when he did show up, he measured at 6'2".

I bet he'd camp more if he had a yeti!**

That doesn't seem like a good thing..?

Knott

What makes you think Knott is 51% to MSU? Do you have some information or are you just guessing? I thought he has indicated he wanted to go to a school out of state.

 

[57stratdawg]

There was alot of talk he would commit to Oregon or FSU earlier this Summer, but neither happened. I think the two MS schools lead for him now. I like Hughes chances there, but i'd say it's a coinflip at best.

I know Paul and them always say if he stays in-state they like MSU's chances.

He's a huge piece of the puzzle to me. Our secondary one day might be Jamal Peters, McLaurin, Knott, Bryant, Chris Stamps, etc. That would put us up there with some of the most athletic secondaries in the country, IMO.

 

[Palos verdes]

Marquiss Spencer is probably the best player in the state, but headed juco.

 

[coach66]

I'm afraid the #network will win out with Knott in the end. He does like MSU as

I know some kids that know him well but I just think he ends up at Ole Miss.

 

[57stratdawg]

He definitely seems like a kid they'll get access to.

Doesn't his sister go to MSU, but his dad played at OM? His dad has connections to Hughes somehow.

 

[aTotal360]

If OM gets him, they beat us fair and square. Pretty straight-laced family from what I understand.

 

[coach66]

I know his dad played at Ole Miss and I think you are right on the sister. Like

360 said he is a good kid from a good family and probably doesn't want to disappoint anyone which could force him out of state but in the end I just
feel like he ends up at Ole Miss but Hughes is pretty strong so we will see.

 

[AlSwearengen]

People seem to think that if Knott stays instate we are the favorite. His sister is at MSU, so his family isn't cut from the typical olemiss mold. I get the feeling that Knott's dad might have more loyalty toward Hughes than he does olemiss. That is mostly speculation on my part though.

 

[I_Love_My_Mommy]

Knott is way less that 50% MSU lean.

 

[Tomas Smid]

After the top 12 to 15 players in the . . . . .

State, there are few, if any, true SEC caliber players year in and year out.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

That's what I Don't get. He's starting college a year early to go to juco and lose eligibility? Why not stay in school the extra year like you were doing and get your grades so you can go straight to a 4 year school and have 5 to play 4.

 

[esplanade91]

Knott is on record as saying he wants to go to a campus in a bigger town with lots of stuff to do. I just think he'll end up somewhere bigger than Oxford or Starkville.

When push comes to shove, who knows. But he seems like the one kid each year who's looking to get out of town.

 

[aTotal360]

I think you're right, but I also think there is a 51% chance he goes out of state.

 

[57stratdawg]

A year or a semester?

The new trend has been graduate in December of your Sr year to enroll in JUCO. That way you hope to get out in 3 semesters, and you'll enter a 4 year school as a sophomore. At least that was the plan with the Walker kid from Calloway, Tommy Champion, and our DB from Hattiesburge.

For the record, here are the updated 24/7 ratings... The composite reflects these numbers, but in a much smaller way obviously...

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I'm not sure, all I know is he was suppose to be a junior in HS this year, got reclassified, and there's no way he doesn't end up in juco. Doesn't make sense to me.
