If you're telling me FSU or some other school...cool...but legit, Miss State is one of the worst educational institutions in Power 5 football. You shouldn't be losing student-athletes to that program...and I like Joe Moorhead, and liked Dan Mullen quite a bit, but, c'mon.
I hear this whole education blah blah far too often around UM sites. You’re delusional if you think it is seriously relevant to most recruits. You’re talking about a pool of kids who wouldn’t be qualified to get admitted to most of the schools they go to, and who don’t take serious classes while enrolled, and can’t, anyhow, given the demands of FB. They get a college degree and that matters in life. But the amount of times folks yap about UM education like kids are going to study marine biology highlights a real logic gap. Any kid who is enough of a student to worry about relative educational quality ain’t going to MS ST irrespective of UM. But he probably aint going to UM, either. Maybe Duke, or Stanford, or Cal, or Northwestern, or GT, or ND.

Also, the value of a degree is a different matter from the value of an education. UM is a small private school. It’s alumni network is also small as a result. If you’re from Pensacola, you likely encounter more MS ST grads than UM grads in life. UM’s name on a degree just isn’t worth as much as UM alumni fancy it to be. And once you get past the name, you’re at ‘what major did you take’ and from there, the reality is most P5 football players are similarly limited in their course of study.
 
Oh trust me I know. My Grandpa was from Southwest Alabama, so naturally I have a lot of family in the Panhandle. That place feels different from the rest of the state(even the rest of North Florida). A kid has to really love this U(i.e., Finley) too join us.

There's a few of us around here who rep the U.
It's crazy just how much the entire SEC hates Miami. Nobody can even give a good reason why, it's like they were just raised that way.

My girlfriend is an Auburn fan, so I don't mind wearing some Auburn gear just to **** off all the toothless roll tiders around here. She reps Miami pretty hard, so we've got a good thing going.
 
Given me a light T prospect with great feet and call it a day. Gaining weight is the easy part. Quick feet are blessings God give us

If we can land Phillips, Hill, Washington, and Williams, mixed with the Portal pick ups, I will call this a very successful recruiting season, especially considering where CMR left us.

So all we have to do is get everybody and the cycle will be a success? I'll go ahead and break out the sharpie and check the "success" box then.
 
What an absolute abortion of a cycle. Emerson was a layup and now he's trending back to Miss St.? UF comes in late and steals Bogle? Are recruits allergic to this defensive staff?

Careful. The Manny is god crowd will beat you up for implying anything is wrong with the defensive staff. I catch **** every time I suggest the Manny should have upgraded his own side of the ball too. They are hung up on how bad the offensive side was and fail to understand that the defensive staff looked great in part as a comparison to it and the Golden abortion.
 
I don't know why you guys continue to miss the big picture!! This season is wasted with recruits due to our record that is still left on the table. Manny did an incredible job attacking the portal to upgrade this team. But one thing that all of this coaching changes can't change....is that we are still 7-6!!

Until we win, nothing Manny or any other coach can say to a kid that will change that!!

Our focus need to be on next year with the hopes that Manny can garner more W's because as much as you guys hope and pray, there's no magic wand to get rid of 7-6!! You're only setting yourself up for a huge disappointment on NSD!!

Hmm, I would hardly say that was everyone on our list for recruiting this off season, but whatever. ****, it isn't even everyone on this list. Sorry I failed to notice your inability to look more than 18" in front of you.

Stop with the "I checked in with sources" stuff. You read some pay sites and compiled the info into one place. Which is fine, but stop pretending it's something it's not.
 
the way manny has run stuff -- if stefan is hearing it from UMs side -- its fake news.

not a shot at stefan but mainly at his source. its a bad source and clearly has zero pulse into whats going on. manny has kept everything tight lipped. cane shades radio has gotten more **** right than stefan has since richt left.

as for recruiting, you guys are such *******. you knew this was a lost year in recruiting yet cry when its told to you. why do you think manny hit the portal? for ***** and giggles?

Honestly just getting Phillips and JHH would feel like a success at this point given how bad of shape we were in after the Pinstripe Bowl.

We've scored big in the portal and got JT4 back. Those two factors alone make us way more ready to compete next year talent-wise than we ever were going to be under Richt. I know there was no turnover on the defensive staff so it's definitely not too promising that they're whiffing on some of these, but I'm still gonna wait to draw any conclusions on this staff as a whole until they have the chance to have a full class. There are tons of realistic options in 2020 that could get us a top 10 class and then 2021 is pretty loaded and there's no reason we shouldn't have a top 5 class that year.

Dumbells gotta go where Dumbells gotta go.
**After feeling good about Miami coming out of his official visit weekend, momentum has shifted back in favor of Mississippi State for S Martin Emerson. After checking in with a source close to the recruitment, I am comfortable flipping my pick to the Bulldogs here.

Smh that sucks! What happened
 
We never were going to have a big close. The Portal was our recruiting coup this cycle.

Only disappointing news is that Bogle may end up at UF, but whatever. That's his loss.
