[Foronce]

Beniquez Brown
Will Redmond - is consider a commitment

maybe
Damien Jacobs

 

[GulfCoastDawg]

we will know with Travell tomorrow as well. Down to us FSU and Bama. But like Ward, I wouldn't hold my breath

Doesn't say what time, butthe articledoes give his twitter name so everyone can follow.

[CadaverDawg]

since he broke his commitment to FSU? I know we haven't been high on his list, but as bad as we need OL I was thinking he may be one of those surprise pick up possibilities...no chance?

 

[MaverickAG]

with Holley and Siddoway coming from JUCO and the HS guys in Carter and Desper.

and of course Channing Ward. If we can't get Ward, I hope we land Jacobs.

I know stars don't mean everything, but if we land Redmond and B. Brown....that would give our future defense...

Arrington **** last year (safety)
Redmond **** this year (CB)
B. Brown **** this year (LB)
Quay, Autry, James, Ward?, Jacobs? all 4/5 star guys (D-line)

Once again, some of these guys may not pan out or whatever, but having a few studs at each position sure does make it easier to compete at a higher level. I wonder how long it has been (if ever) since we had 6-7 guys in our starting defensive lineup that were 4 stars or better? String a few classes like this together and you can make a Virginia Tech style of program jump in due time. That's what I'm hoping for, but I tend to get a little wooley this time of year and it never happens the way I want it too.

 

[captaindawg]

after a red-shirt year I wouldn't be surpirsed if he pushes for a starting spot at either center or guard. He reminds me of T-Bob Hebert from LSU.

 

[fishwater99]

[No message]

 

[Shmuley]

"... he wants to play defense."

We have no shot at signing Taylor.

 

[maroonmania]

I was sort of thinking that with the Nick James factor and the fact he has made several unofficial visits up to our ballgames that hopefully we were leading on him. What's the thought there? Also, I just figured he could continue our recent run of success with the "Great White Hope" linebacker type in the lineage of Chris White and Cam Lawrence.

 

[Coach34]

all hypothetical of course, but interested to see how everyone really feels about these guys..

Channing Ward *****- 50/50
Anthony Alford ****- 0%
Dalvin Tomlinson****- nope
Will Redmond **** - 75%
Beniquez Brown **** - 75%
Alphonse Taylor **** - nope
Damien Jacobs ****- 50/50
Travell Dixon **** - nope

These are the top 8 uncommitted guys on our Scout Prospects board. Who will we get?

everybody needs to just drop the Alford talk- we arent even trying very hard

 

[aTotal360]

<div>But my confidence in Beniquez iswaning.</div><div>
</div>A couple days ago I would have said Jacobs was a shoe in, but now I think he's headed for Flarda. <div>People seem to think Ward is headed to MSU, but UM always seems to pull a rabbit out oftheirass on NSD. I'm calling him the rabbit this year.</div><div>
</div><div>Liggins and Alford are possibilities (less than 20%). If you were to listen totheirinterviews, you'd swear they areheadedto Starkville. The both claim they want to play in the spread and both claim they love our "wide open" offense. If they really love the spread, then LSU, Bama, and UM would be out of the picture.</div>

 

[babbleBrebel]

hearing that Liggins and Ward will bebears as of today. Things always change. Y'all will have animpressive defensiveclass if James qualifys, keep Redmond, and get Brown andJacobs.

 

[maroonmania]

no reason to be too optimistic on anyone left at this point. Are we really now relegated to just keeping Redmond and hopefully getting a B. Brown commitment with only an outside shot at Ward? Looks like just another lackluster month of January recruiting if that holds.

 

[Shmuley]

to expect his twitnouncement. I notice he didn't include rosebowl/pawl in the "need to know" category.

 

[MaverickAG]

from 247, the list we be something like this:<div>
</div><div>

• Richie Brown
• Beniquez Brown
• Channing Ward
• Damien Jacobs
• Alonzo Moore
• Dy'Shawn Mobley
• AJ Jefferson
• Vernon Butler

<div>A few of these guys are fall-backs.</div></div>

 

[maroonmania]

sounds like we should only feel reasonably good about B. Brown if that. Don't know much about the priorities on the bottom 4.

 

[Big Sheep81]

We are about 60% IF he makes a college choice. But as I have said before, that translates to <1% if he goes high enough in the MLB draft. He would like to be a two sport player but his bat-**** crazy parents are looking to cash in on MLB.

His football throwing is bad. He throws a football like he does a baseball. But he sure can run, catch, and run some more.

 

[Shmuley]

that RIGHT NOW we lead for Channing, with Saban/Smart closing fast.

 

[coach66]

interesting to see what he decides to do. I think Ward will end up at Ole Miss.

 

[idog]

I was sort of thinking that with the Nick James factor and the fact he has made several unofficial visits up to our ballgames that hopefully we were leading on him. What's the thought there? Also, I just figured he could continue our recent run of success with the "Great White Hope" linebacker type in the lineage of Chris White and Cam Lawrence.

word is he likes us both but is worried about getting lost in the mix at LSU vs coming in and potentially starting for 2-3 years at State.

 

[JulesWinfield]

Funny that everybody has sources, on both sides. You and Coach34 said yesterday that UM isn't even in the picture. Our new bear friend claims the complete opposite, and even the Head to Head crew was doing everything short of naming Ward a Bear commit yesterday. I LOVE this time of year! My source says all of you are full of ****.

 

[maroonmania]

everyone is throwing out a guess and then will take full credit if they luck up to be right.

 

[MaverickAG]

Going by everything Ward has said in the past he's probably not even sure where he is going. All this **** he says is probably just him 17'ing around with all the recruitniks out there.

 

[maroonmania]

I would say our staff is about the last to find out what's really going on with a prospect.

 

[BehrDawg]

hearing that Liggins and Ward will bebears as of today. Things always change. Y'all will have animpressive defensiveclass if James qualifys, keep Redmond, and get Brown andJacobs.

No one knows about Ward...not even your girlfriend, Yancy.

 

[mstatedogs]

Think Mullen learned from some things last year and closes the deal on this one.

 

[Big Sheep81]

I mentioned before Autry came on board. And he has not missed on anything he has mentioned yet. Last year was a cluster for several reasons but we won't see a that happen again until we change coaches again. I don't blame the staff for that. It was UM's cash and carry program that pulled those guys when Dashing Diaz left. Wilson has covered that fine.

 

[Foronce]

Richies family has ole miss ties ...he just never give them much of a shot, because of the DC.

He will be a rebear.

 

[jacksonreb1]

you sign a bunch like that you're going to end up with some players. that's a bunch of potential talent.

 

[maroonmania]

with your subject line just got bad memories of Gene's infamous "Buckles will be a Bulldog" prediction. That one didn't go so well.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

no reason ever to get your hopes up over any recruit...after all they are 18-20 year olds who love getting all this attention.....

 

[CadaverDawg]

In my opinion, we will see just how much Mullen and Co "figured out" the recruiting game this year. If we can hang on to the commits we have and land another big name or two...they "figured it out". But if Ole Miss comes in and picks up Ward and another couple of our commits or strong leans, they didn't "figure it out". Last year they did not get it, and it ended up biting us in the *** on signing day. Hopefully we don't make the same mistake twice.

I may be wrong though about the "figuring it out" part.
