The Blue Board

Doesn't matter. He's not going to Miss St.

USC should be worried about any school in the SEC really

But Tennessee is not really in the picture. I think he ends up at Vandy, Alabama, or sticks with USC

Y'all are being naive to think miss state doesn't have a chance to pull this guy. The only visits he has set up are usc and miss state at this point. He already visited Florida.

Miss State could get into the top group, but could also help his family push a decommittment from USC. If that happens I will think Miss State for really giving Alabama a good shot at him.

But im not naïve at all. Miss State has its shot, do I think it will be enough...nope. Will it help Alabama that he is going to Miss State...yes. Everything at this point is looking like a task to keep Jalen close to home. If his family wins over his commitment to USC, hometown Vandy, and mainly Alabama will be the core 2 at the top. Miss State would be in there with Florida at this point. Things will change but if he ends up close to home Vandy has a really good chance IMO.

But I think we end with:
Bell- has been to almost every home game
Tunsil- he want to play with Derrick Henry, and just needs to get his mom on campus (Texas A&M game)
Liner- Yeldon all over again
Ramsey/ or Cook - We need another true CB and one will be a switch. IF not we will do everything we can to try and get back in the race with Alexander who is all over the place really.

Is this like being naive to think miss state had a chance to beat Bama?

Not looking at your record, are you bowl eligable?

Instant playing time. We lose 3 Sr. starters in the secondary. Plus coach brewster is recruiting his tail off. This guy is gonna pull in some guys. He has only been at msu since august and has us getting mentioned by some top talent.

Have to go 3 for 4 to become bowl eligible.

gotcha, should be fine...Vandy looks like the toughest game

Dont disagree with you at all, Im from Cali and like Southern Cali. And yes USC still has a cache about it since the Carrol days. That said, I do think that a few years of being average can start to make that not so appealing. I think Miami is a good example of that.

Redfield needs to go ahead and make the call then. You guys get McQuay, we'll gladly take Max..

Ah...the cache has been strong longer than the PC era...we seem to come back again in time for these kid's parents to remember all the glory, pageantry and winning. Pete told us that his big sell in recruiting after those dark, dark Hacket years was the fact that USC had just won "2000 College of the Year" by the Princeton Review and Time Magazine..that, and the tradition, which he focused on the parents, and selling the kids that they had a great opportunity to bring USC back to former glory.

I think it also helps that our former players, going way back, are so involved in the program - visible and supporting the university, they also have their own very powerful support club for former players only. I know Nelson Agholor was absolutely star struck to see guys like Ronnie Lott, Marcus Allen, Tony Boseli, Sam "Bam" Cunningham, Anthony Munoz, the late Junior Seau, etc on the sidelines of the spring game.

We may not have the nicest, loudest stadium, but at any give game, you will see Trojan players that are Pro HOFers on the sidelines or sitting in the stands. I've counted up to five at one single game. Kids love this.
