I’m probably in the minority here, but I don’t hold it against Enos for pursuing Beck. And I don’t mind Beck’s decomitment since it appears he committed to a coach and not a school. I’d rather let Sark pursue that guy he wants.

I don’t mind the kid looking elsewhere because we got a new QB coach.... BUT, unless you have lived in Timbuktu the last 10 years you should know the chance of us having the same coordinator at any position for more than 2 years is suspect at best. Commit to the process.. not the layover.

Now that makes no sense... Unless he has decided he is going the Pro baseball route entirely and OM is fine with him never actually being in the class, just get the PR bump.
It makes a lot of sense. It's Mi$$i$$ippi after all. I legit don't believe a single highly recruited kid from that state does not get paid regardless of where they end up. Most take the money and stay, a few take the money and run. They only got in trouble when they started buying the out of state kids and stepping on the wrong toes.

4 CBs to Ole Miss now. The other MSU mod and an Utah State mod put one in.

Well, I would much rather him go to Ole Miss than Clemson.

I think if he signs with Ole Miss he is going to go the MLB route.
If he signs with Clemson or Alabama he will play college football.
Just my opinion of course.

Where the Top 20 players in Georgia have signed
quote:
The Early Signing Period took nearly all of the drama away from the state of Georgia's 2019 class ahead of National Signing Day, at least for the elite-level prospects.
Like every recruiting cycle, a large amount of those players hail from the state of Georgia, which is known for its large pool of high school football talent — especially the greater Atlanta area. In fact, this cycle, Georgia has produced more blue-chip caliber players than any state in the country.
Of the Top 20 players from the state of Georgia ranked in the 247Sports Composite, all have signed. Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Clemson, Auburn, Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas and Florida have all signed at least one of the Top 20 players in Georgia this cycle.
But which team was able to reel in the most highly-ranked players from Georgia? Here's a look at where the 247Sports Composite's best recruits in the state will kick off their college football careers:

Yeah but then why pick Oke Miss?

JUSTIN EBOIGBE - SIGNED WITH ALABAMA
Measurables: 6-4.5, 263
247Sports Composite: No. 62 overall; No. 5 SDE
Evaluation: Muscled-up build with big arms and lower body. Plays with outstanding first-step quickness and instincts, jumping the snap and shooting gaps to make plays in the backfield. Embraces contact and is physical in taking on blocks. Bowls over opposing offensive tackles and running backs who stay in to pass protect. Creates disruption in a variety of ways. Finishes plays with authority and violence. Has some of the more dominant senior film of defensive line prospects in the 2019 cycle. Has a swim move but will need to continue improving his hands at the next level as he can over rely on his bull rush and natural strength. Likely plays at a faster speed than he will test athletically. Could possibly grow into an interior defensive lineman. Projects as a multi-year starter at the Power 5 level with all-league potential later in his career. Projects as a day-two selection in the NFL draft.
NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round
Player comparison: Jonathan Allen

KEVIN HARRIS - SIGNED WITH ALABAMA
Measurables: 6-4, 228
247Sports Composite: No. 123 overall; No. 5 WDE
Evaluation: Thin edge rusher with good length and a lean frame. Good speed with above average combine testing. Most comfortable as a stand-up edge defender. Good get-off and edge speed. Extremely active and quick with hand usage. Has shown the ability to convert speed to power but much more comfortable as a speed rusher. Linear athlete that plays hard. Can impact the game with flash plays. Not overly versatile yet. Still needs to add strength to become a more complete player. High level Power 5 player with early to mid round NFL Draft potential.
NFL Draft projection: 2-3 Round
Player comparison: Darrell Taylor

The 10 biggest freaks in the 2019 recruiting class
quote:
The 2019 recruiting cycle is set to come to a close on Wednesday with the nation’s remaining unsigned prospects inking with the college program of their choice on National Signing Day. Over the course of the year, a number of players have displayed unique physical gifts that set them apart from their peers. It should come as no surprise that this group accounts for many of the nation’s top-ranked prospects.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the top freaks in the 2019 recruiting cycle.

ANTONIO ALFANO, SDE, COLONIA (N.J.)
At 6-foot-4, 275 pounds, 247Sports’ top overall prospect tested as the nation’s most athletic lineman last spring. The Alabama signee posted a 4.82 second 40-yard dash, a 4.27 second short shuttle, and a 36.6 inch vertical jump–all outstanding marks and the best in the nation for any prospect over 255 pounds. Alfano also flaunts massive 11 inch hands, among the largest measured at All-American Bowl check-in. He put his unique physical traits to use on the field both throughout his senior season and in San Antonio, playing like a grown man with the ability to use speed, power and a high effort level to consistently beat offensive linemen.

Rivals.com National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell’s Three-Point Stance is here with some predictions on remaining unsigned prospects for 2019 and the dumbest tweet he’s ever sent (so far).

1. PREDICTIONS FOR UNCOMMITTED RIVALS100 PROSPECTS
While there aren’t a ton of prospects left unsigned for for National Signing Day, there are still enough to make things very interesting. And there is plenty of drama and guesswork to be done so here’s my best shot at uncommitted prospects left in the Rivals100.
OL Darnell Wright – Tennessee. This should be one of the less dramatic announcements on Wednesday as the Vols have been the strong leader for some time. This would be a huge pickup for Tennessee and really help the program's 2020 momentum.
ATH Jerrion Ealy – Clemson. This one has become tough and I’m basing my pick on baseball to be honest. Alabama made a late push and Ole Miss could land him as well, but I’m sticking with Clemson here.
CB Kaiir Elam – Florida. This one has been between Florida and Georgia for a while but with family ties to Florida, Elam ends up with the Gators and could become a star.
DT Ismael Sopsher – LSU. This one has gone back and forth between LSU and Alabama, but confidence is high that he will stay in-state. The former five-star has a ton of potential and could be a star if he can just be more consistent with his motor.
DE Charles Moore – Auburn. This is a very tough one and if you asked me two weeks ago, I would have said Florida but Auburn has the momentum and has taken the lead here. However, it wouldn’t stun me whoever he picks or if he decides to push things beyond Signing Day.
LB Henry To’oto’o – Alabama. To’oto’o has played things close to the vest but Alabama lands him in the end and he could be an immediate impact guy.
RB Mark-Antony Richards – Auburn. Because of his brother, many expected Miami to be the pick here but it really comes down to Florida and Auburn and the Tigers closed the deal this weekend. He’s a great fit for the Auburn offense.

2. MORE COMMITMENT PREDICTIONS
Here are some more predictions for prospects that are of great interest to many fan bases.
WR George Pickens – Auburn. Pickens might not sign at all and I’ve heard everything from he’s a Georgia lock to he’s going to surprise everyone and pick Tennessee. However, I still think he sticks with Auburn thanks in part to his great relationship with the coaching staff and five-star quarterback signee Bo Nix.
DT Byron Young – Alabama. Young will sign with Alabama. Keep an eye on this kid as he could be one of the surprises of the 2019 class. I have a feeling he’s going to end up as a great player for the Crimson Tide.
S Nick Cross – Penn State. I’m hearing different things on this one, but there is much more chatter about Cross flipping to Penn State after a visit weekend than sticking with Florida State. This would be a great pickup for James Franklin, one of the best recruiters in the country.
DE Khris Bogle – Miami. Bogle chose Alabama at the All-American Bowl when I expected him to pick Miami. Now he flips to the ‘Canes.
DT Nathan Pickering – Mississippi State. Alabama made a strong push but he resisted and he is a huge pickup for the Bulldogs. This kid has a chance to be an SEC star.
S Christian Williams – LSU. Alabama pushed to have him sign early but when he didn’t, it moved on and I think LSU lures him away from the Tide. Alabama fans will act as if they don’t care about this, but this kid could be a good one.
DE Quashon Fuller – Florida State. Alabama and others are trying to sway him away, but he sticks with Florida State in the end and becomes a standout there.
ATH Devonta Lee – LSU. Kentucky has made a nice run here, but he stays home and adds to a very good class for LSU.
I guess Mike Farrell will never learn.

Ole Miss should just go ahead and change their mascot again. Instead of the Land Sharks, they should be the Loan $hark$.

National Signing Day: Predictions on uncommitted prospects
As always with Rivals' predictions, prepare thy anus.
quote:
The February National Signing Day is not quite the same, thanks to the creation of the Early Signing Period.
Only 12 players in the Rivals250 remain uncommitted, and none in the top 15. In fact, a whopping 216 players among the Rivals250 already signed in the Early Signing Period.
But there's still a dozen question marks remaining and our recruiting analysts have the predictions.
As always with Rivals' predictions, prepare thy anus.

Jerrion Ealy
This is another race that has tightened up the last few weeks. The longtime Ole Miss commit could very well end up back with the Rebels. Alabama was out of this race until Nick Saban hired Charles Huff away from Mississippi State, then the Crimson Tide got an official visit last weekend and they cannot be ruled out anymore. Clemson has been the school leading the way since December, even when Ealy still was committed to Ole Miss. The combination of Clemson's football and baseball programs, and the culture there has Clemson viewed as the favorite by many. But the noise I am hearing about Ole Miss getting him back has me going with the in-state school.
Chad Simmons' prediction: Ole Miss
Posted on 2/5/19 at 7:43 am to TideSaint

Ishmael Sopsher
It has been viewed as an Alabama-LSU battle for Sopsher from the beginning. Ole Miss tried to get in there and Texas A&M received an official visit, but this did come down to the Crimson Tide and Tigers. Ed Orgeron has been heavily involved with this one from day one and the head coach in Baton Rouge will win out. Sopsher spent the weekend at LSU and things went very well. Alabama may have been trending at one time, but LSU will keep Sopsher home.
Chad Simmons' prediction: LSU
Didn't we do this dance with Rivals last year when it came to Patrick Surtain?
