lil ole Em Ess You will be the ones doing some flippin n **** come Signing Day 2014. You heard it here first. Especially as good as I think we're going to be, and the level of recruiters we have. Ole Miss and MSU will both be trying to hold onto coaching next off-season, book it.

They are doing well in state early, no doubt...

Two of their early "commits" have already commented that they are going to be looking around and that their recruitments are far from over though. Given what we know about Mullen, it's safe to say that he wouldn't have accepted those commitments early in the process, so it's impossible to say that they are outrecruiting us in MS yet. We'll know alot more from our camp in June. OM classes under Freeze will always be a rollercoaster ride for this reason IMO. They finished with a tremendous class last year(and I take NOTHING away from them on it), but had a whole bunch of decommitments through the year -- probably had close to 40 players committed at one time or another. So, if that's an indication, I don't think you can really look at these guys and say "oh crap" just yet.

They are DEF going to get Buford. And I don't know anything about the new OL commitment. The other 2 are nowhere near sure things.

4(really 5) of the top 10 in MS this year are in MSU strongholds, whereas 4 of the top 10 were considered OM locks early in the process last year -- and basically only 1 or 2 fell in MSU strongholds(Chris Jones obviously after the season)...and Shump to an extent...

I said early last recrootin season that if we split Shumpert and Conner with Ole Miss, we'd done our job. Obviously we all knew where Conner was headed, so for the late person that meant we had to sign Shumpert. He's a prototypical MSU type player. We got him and pretty much every other instate prospect we planned to get, except Mix. Who knows the real story there. And for all the worrying about flippin' n ****, we really did win the battle instate, even with losing Kailo Moore. Probably will again this year.

Will be nice to have them on the defensive this year, since they seem to be getting all the early commitments. Nice to have them committed, yes, but you have to keep them.

I saw where Paul said that the kid from Meridian that they have a committment from is the "definition of a soft verbal".It is still Feb 2013 a lot of things will happen before Feb 2014...

engie, this early i don't expect any kid to refuse to talk with other schools, but these kids at this point use the word solid. buford and hampton are ole miss kids and say they are solid. the olineman used that word as did taylor. i haven't read anything about the punter "looking". so with the caveat that its a long time till feb 2014, keep hoping.

Yeah Hampton grew up an OM fan. That's why he committed last year. I don't know where Paul gets that stuff but he's way off. When you start flipping kids from Freeze then threads like this have some validity, but good lord

Paul and Farley have both reported that Hampton is the definition of a soft commit... He's telling them that. So, who knows?

Who would we have tried to flip last year? Ultimately, there were only about 6 players in-state really worth fighting over. The point in this thread has validity. IF you are going to rack up early soft commitments, you are going to lose a higher percentage of those guys...

!!!!!!!!! LOLZZZZZ!!!!!1111

I think we did fairly decent out of state. 4 star WR from Texas (when does MSU get 4 star WRs period), 4 star QB from FL, guys from LA, GA, AL....I'm fine with it.

Stop listening to Yancy and only Yancy. Or Neal or whoever it is you subscribe to and then label as your 'source'.

I quit paying for that crap years ago and it's still very easy to see the momentum and/or makeup of the classes. Most of your commitments will stick most likely, but you can only go on the defensive when they commit early....remember that. The thing that sucked about Chris Jones wasn't that he was considering Ole Miss....it was that we thought we had him in the bag and thought we could move on to other prospects who weren't committed.

Have no fear . . .

by the time Steve and Gene get through ranking the OM commits no one else will want them anyway

2 things you all need to understand:

1. It is very early to evaluate these players unless they are no doubt 4 and 5 stars. This time last year, you could have made an argument that Montreal Jordan was one of the top 5 in state recruits.

2. MSU and OM will ALWAYS split in state recruits no matter how good we are or vice versa. It's just the way it it is. It's why adding coaches like Brewster and Gonzales is so important to us recruiting nationally. Neither school can dominate MS or expect the state to produce enough talent to take the next step and compete on a national level.

They were reporting what Chris was telling them. Just as your precious Yancy is doing and they are doing the same now. These kids don't know where they're going to end up right now

And if history is any indication, "destroying" MSU in recruting still won't amount to **** on the field for you.

Werent you that Murse guy that emailed DS and told him to be ready for Chris Jones to sign with OM?

I had forgotten about that.

Yes, yes he was...

Meanwhile Farley NEVER wavered on Jones being a Dawg. Of everyone that reported on Chris Jones, he was the most correct...

lil ole Em Ess You will be the ones doing some flippin n **** come Signing Day 2014. You heard it here first. Especially as good as I think we're going to be, and the level of recruiters we have. Ole Miss and MSU will both be trying to hold onto coaching next off-season, book it.

And by all means. enlighten me as to who you would've flipped.

This makes no sense. You infer that we racked up the instate recruits last year and had to hang on to them in the end because ole miss had a good season.

they did not have a good season. We did.

i still think I'd like these guys committed to us instead of TSUN. Hopefully, they flip.

if both coaching staffs are getting poached next year, it means the egg bowl will have been very meaningful.

I am guessing he's talking about Derrick Jones, but I know nothing for fact. That was just a rumor at one time. Most folks think we could have taken Kincade earlier in the process had we really wanted him.

And to put it simply about this next recruiting class, I am of the opinion that MSU will have its chance and likely will flip one of your in-state commitments this year.

It doesn't matter, I know you won't believe this because we all know there's just no way anyone would choose MSU over Ole Miss. I mean, flagship in ****, Oxford is where Jesus was REALLY born, etc.

No, I did not.

Mississippi recruiting is largely going to be what it is, you can win the battle, but never the war. My point was, we were caught hanging onto our recruits because they committed early. The likelihood that they flip is much higher the earlier they commit to any school. Ole Miss is getting the early guys this year, so they'll be the ones suffering from 'flips' in January most likely.

The most domination I've ever seen instate is what we pulled off in 2009. Like 13 of the state's top guys. But that doesn't happen very often and they even still got a few guys, as did Bama.

Funny. I do read yancy but my info

Frankly does not mostly come from him. In fact i'm usually ahead of him, but thanks for playing

Thank goodness for this thread. It had been almost a week or two since the last pissing match recruiting thread between our fans and the usual OM douche bags who were camped out here for literally all of December-January-early February. I was beginning to think I might not have the "pleasure" of reading another one until recruiting actually became a relevant topic again.

/I know, I know, "Who's making you read it!!11!"
