A.J. Brown

[Mantis Toboggin M.D.]

Heard from a friend that used to coach AJ that as recently as this past summer, he was dead set on leaving Starkville. He said he was very adamant about not wanting to stay in the same town he grew up in for college. Just passing along info, but don't be that surprised if he doesn't sign with us. His quote "Unless MSU has gotten on him extremely hard lately, he doesn't plan on sticking around."

If he actually doesn't sign with MSU I envision that killing our future recruiting. Everyone will think he went somewhere else because State must be so bad or some crap like that. I hope Mullen proves me wrong.

I don't see where it's all that odd for a kid to want to leave the town he was raised in, even if that kid is the biggest fan and advocate for that town and it's university.

Either way it will suck if he goes elsewhere, simply because State needs his talent. I doubt it would "kill" our future recruiting though. I think you're panicking a little there.

This thread is going to happen every day for the next 3 weeks isn't it

 

[57stratdawg]

I get the feeling AJ Brown doesn't know exactly where he's going yet.

 

[99jc]

i know the family its 60/40 Bama or MSU. He has always wanted to play at Bama

I get the feeling AJ Brown doesn't know exactly where he's going yet.

Family wants him close to home. I will be surprised if he does not go to Bama but no way he goes to the REBS.

 

[patdog]

My guess is, he's going to Bama if he gets an offer. If not, it's MSU. And it's been that way from the beginning. Just a guess though.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

gets an offer?

 

[aTotal360]

He's got a Bama offer and they are pushing for him to commit.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

So far on AJ I have heard from several people that know the family or know someone that knows the family... yada yada yada.

Some say he wants to get out of Starkville,
Some say he is State bound.
Me says don't nobody know s*@%!

 

[patdog]

Thought I saw somewhere that they already have several highly rated receivers committed and his offer may not be "committable." I don't really follow recruiting or care about it much. But if his Bama offer is commitable, I get the impression he's gone. I saw him play twice this past fall. He looked great in the Oxford game. Other than 1 play in the Clinton playoff game, he was just a decoy.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

He's one of the best looking WR targets they got.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

It's just such a coincidence all these threads have popped up this afternoon, across multiple MSU sites, about AJ and they happen to all contain negative info about him signing with us in some form or fashion. Haven't we seen this playbook before?

Yep. And people on all of the MSU sites fall for it every single year. We should all make a pact to not talk recruiting in January. Would probably help us some.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

Down to Bama and OM and we know who was just in Starkville putting the full court press on the Brown/Jones combo. Hopefully, if he doesn't somehow sign w us bama turns him into the next julio jones.

Bama/MSU all the way. Just depends on if he wants to stay home or leave.

 

[KurtRambis4]

No doubt.

The omfaithful are in full gear.

 

[RecSportsFootballCollege]

The omfaithful are in full gear.

Yeah, that's the reason State's #1 WR target and hometown kid isn't taking an OV. It's all because Ole Miss fans have infiltrated State boards with negative but true information. Even Steve Robertson is saying Brown is Bama bound at this point, but there's a 3 more weeks to turn things around.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

Day 2 of the same tactics.

 

[the dog is on the loose]

I know its a ways off till signing day but so far our recruiting rankings from rivals suck. #46. Even Kentucky is #21. Wow! It is just freaking pathetic. 2014 we were ranked #1 in the country for 5 weeks and we cant do better at recruiting by now? Crap! Things can change between now and then but does anybody see us jumping into the top 25 in recruiting? I dont and I hope Im wrong.

 

[RecSportsFootballCollege]

You cracked the code.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

Say what people want about ED, but they have started outing the fake MSU fans bringing some of the negative info that has been getting published on multiple sites. Same tactics by UM for some time now but some are now facing the consequences.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

You cracked the code.

There are more known MSU insiders predicting AJ to us (same ones who were adamant that Leo and others were ours and have known when players were going elsewhere) than the ones saying he is going to Bama. And UM is 3rd by a sizeable margin. So either your a troll, a plant, both or your sources are going completely against many good insiders. And it's been played out like this for some years now.

 

[Chesusdog]

Hello, painfully obvious troll.

 

[1msucub]

Mods, is there ANY way we can get that pre-signing day moratorium up and running? I mean.... Good GRIEF.

 

[hatfieldms]

Yeah I think it is about that time

You need better sources. And Robertson is hedging his bets. He is also saying its a msu/Bama battle and he is putting a lot of stock in if AJ visits us. CL also wrote an article where AJ states he pretty much knows where he is going right now. Cronin? Really?

The general trend in his recruitment points towards Bama.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Thank you.

 

[dawgstudent]

From my 1 minute of research - he's actually a legit state fan. At least he has msstate.edu email.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

What was the general trend with Leo last year? And what were some of the guys where are very plugged in saying? 100% dog for a while they kept telling people. These are guts with great track records. Not 100% but hit a lot. Many of them are saying AJ is Leo 2.0, he is all dog, etc. It is a closer battle with Bama and some also state if he doesn't visit at all over this month they will BEGIN to worry.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

[RecSportsFootballCollege]

Eh...close enough.

Fair enough.

Playing the long con, eh? Impressive.

Not the same. Everything pointed and said LL to State last year. People are guessing at AJ. I don't hear anybody saying AJ is "all dog".

I said I think it's more of a battle with Bama for AJ. And there are posters who are close to the program and have a good track record are confident he is ours. A few have already called it 100%. Some are confident but said if he doesn't visit at all, OV or unofficial then they may start to worry. But not before the visits are over.

Yep

He may be.... But my LORT it gets old reading some of this garbage. I just.... I can't even.
