Rawlings visiting OM this weekend..

[cofreb]

In my view

a backup plan is for a specific position. So if we missed on CJ Hampton and then immediately offered Brandon Bryant because we needed a safety, then Brandon Bryant would be a backup plan.

That seems distinct to me from deciding we want to allocate one more scholarship to the OL because we missed on a couple of longshots at other positions (namely RB and WR) for whom we'd previously been saving spots, and Rawlings was the next person on our OL board. Reasonable people can differ on this, but it doesn't seem like tortured logic to me. I don't care what Ole Miss or MSU calls Rawlings. He's clearly a good player and will likely do well for whichever school he chooses.

I must have missed that...because if you read the Scout/247 interviews they say different when the topic of UM is brought up. Along with a thread on 247 where the dadparticipated.

Would love to see that one of those repeated quotes...where would I find a couple of them?

Thanks...

You first. But I don't read 247 (not that there's anything wrong with it).

 

[121Josey]

But if you are offering this late, he is a backup plan for someone.

I don't fault Rawlings if he is an OM fan and does indeed switch. If State offered me this late in the game, I would go there in a heartbeat.

This is late in the game for you.**

 

[os62]

Yes, he said that: "So in that sense he's a back-up plan"

 

[jacksonreb]

i won't argue with that.......

but it also isn't a huge deal to me. i don't think he a backup plan for an OLineman. i'd say we're not get scarborough so that';s one slot. i think they've decided to use the sholly for the best avialable at a need position. personally i'm pretty sure we get sims if bama doesn't offer. we're his back up plan. its ok.

[jacksonreb]

by these silly definitions then after you make your list of the 25 guys you most want to sign,,,,,anybody who fills a slot of one of those you missed on is a backup plan. sounds fine.

It's no secret freeze gives 300 or so offers to the top 300 in the country. It's been hashed out hundreds of times, and its true. He does not give a bunch to MS kids because he doesn't want to pull their offers. Hell, now we are stuck with dickens who may never put pads on again. I think freeze was waiting to see how the out of state offers shook out. Thing are winding down and they just now have a feel for how many scholarships are left for other players. The strategy is what it is and that's why we were late to the party on jones last year and possibly Rawlings this year.

 

[cheewgumm]

Ole miss people are so stupid, and full of themselves it's hard to read sometimes.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

I can assure you this is one recruit/family Freeze will keep AWAY from the library and other pervasive recruiting resources.

So he'll be shown the shortcut to the Baptist Student Union, and one of those nice Christian girls will be "led" to share scripture with him?

 

[121Josey]

Still waiting...

You might want to start your search here.

He talked about that at length in the Boneyard and he says that an Ole Miss offer would change nothing.

I heard Freeze once gave 300 offers to one kid alone.**

You first. But I don't read 247 (not that there's anything wrong with it).

Me first what...I told you where you could find the quotes I talked about. All I asked from you was where I could find those quotes you talked about...did not mention a thing about producing said "repeated" quotes now did I. What articles..CL, Scout, Rivals...what?

the dad has been a member of 247 since the boys commitment. He participated every once in a while and would give the line of "we are concentrated on MSU, UM has not offered" which leaves the door open without wanting to talk hypothetical. He gave the same answer every single time when someone asked the pointed UM question. Considering that is a MSU board...pretty telling if you ask me. This same info was given by Scout through board info by Steve. Considering that was coming from.Steve, pretty telling.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

So all Mississippi kids are back-up plans. Got it.

/only half-kidding.

I did this same thing with my wife. I told her I loved her very much, but I did not want to sell myself short. There was like 3 or 4 smoking hot women that I stood no chance with, but I would hate myself if I did not try. I basically told her if all the really hot women said no to my marriage proposal, I would come back and marry her as a last resort.***

 

[cheewgumm]

It would be interesting if he left us for Ole Miss, then they dropped him for

someone else.

I wonder if Talty would do a story and interview him and his parents?

Most sentences have a subject, so I'm having having trouble following you here. Could you not decipher that the post came from a scout website? I told you that I don't read 247 but you're not willing to get off your lazy *** and look up a quote or thread or whatever.

I challenged you on your source. I brought mine but you offer nothing. So we just take your word? Hasn't this whole situation made us question someone's word?

Unless it has come in the last 2 weeks, I haven't seen that "same info given by Scout through board info by Steve".

Do you not think that the dad is a member of Scout too? Unfortunately he's spent the last few weeks getting the right with the Spirit.

Oh, you mean pretty telling like the dad saying that when they went to visit the brother that he wasn't going to let his son out of the RV? For fear of getting an offer? Pretty telling if you ask me.

I'm not mad that the boy changed his mind. I'm understand the father wanting to let his boy make his own decision. I'm mad that you're saying that the door to TSUN has been open since they committed. Your information is not correct.

 

[DocHolliday.sixpack]

Awwww that's so sweet......taking up for brother like that! Oh you guys

Yes, he said that: "So in that sense he's a back-up plan"

nt

 

[BigLeagueChew]

So what you are saying is that he is a backup plan.

Yes. State's primary plan is Ole Miss' back-up plan.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

We mustn't disparage him if he chooses the Rebual Lifestyle

Some people believe one's born into the Rebual Lifestyle. Others believe one chooses his Rebuality. I for one don't know. If he chooses to walk away from State, and embrace the pink-shirt-and-red-pants-wearing, soy-estrogen-enriched way of life, it's up to him.
