2019 MSU Recruiting (37 Signees)

[AFCAT]

I see Zambrano has a new photo on his twitter page of him wearing an MSU uniform.

Has had for the past two days. Encouraging for sure.

These kids have one more weekend to take advantage of any outstanding recruiting visits. I get why Choate stopped the booms and it makes signing day that much more mysterious/suspenseful. I love surprises on Signing Day!

Yeah, I saw this cryptic tweet from Alleyne today too. I-75?

His next reply is "Fr though just seem Youngstown state the other day Kent state now", so maybe he's talking about an area back in Virginia or something that schools are recruiting more than they previously have.

This is correct. Reference to the VA-75.

Why do I hate the last weekend before signing day? Power 5 FBS schools dangle PWO offers to kids receiving full-scholarship offers from FCS schools. In this day and age, I just don't understand how these kids think they will have a better opportunity to play in the NFL by walking on to Power 5 schools. Go get your ass kicked for no money and get continually overlooked by "more athletic" prospects each year OR go get a chance to compete for early playing time and prove your ability at a relatively good level of football...fully funded. I'm not even referencing specific MSU recruits. Since I've paid attention to recruiting, this is the week that bothers me the most. Know your value and don't let the larger schools undervalue it!

When Tyson Swaggert was being recruited by MSU I went to most of his high school games since I knew him, his brother Brent (MSU OL) and his family fairly well. He ended up going to U of MInnesota. I asked him why he picked UM over MSU where he would probably start for 4 years. He said it was the desire to play in front of 100K fans, which he would at U of MIchigan, Penn State and Ohio State.

Was he offered a full-ride or a PWO? That's the argument I'm making.

My brother was offered a full ride scholly by a Div 1 (FBS) school but went to MSU instead. He wanted to play in front of his friends and family and we were MSU fans. We wouldn't have been able to go to many of his games had he taken the big offer.

I knoe MSU was a full ride and I thought UM was also.

Can't fault a guy for that decision then. If he was a PWO, then essentially he's paying $20k (or whatever the full ride is worth) a year to play in front of a few big crowds a year.

Any visitors this week besides the one we know about? Would guess this would be our big one. Think last year it was. Basketball games should be big for our recruits to watch with it being cat griz ... fun environment

I know this is a popular PWO weekend for any in-state recruits still looking for a home and have interest from the Cats.

Looked like five or maybe 6 kids here for recruiting last night. Any other ideas on who they were?

[Bobcatsinmso]

Might be 5 or 6 kids with extended stays in Bozeman due to the current weather situation. No one will be flying in and out of Missoula right now and for the next few days, I'm guessing its close to the same in Bozeman ?

I can't imagine that's a good selling point for anyone not from the Rockies.

From the Bozeman airport’s website, departing flights are showing as on time and many of the arrivals are getting in early.

Bozeman weather is windy but not snowing at the moment.

Jaden finally got to take his official visit this past weekend.

[VimSince03]

CB/WR recuit who visited two weeks ago.

[VimSince03]

Rylan primarily starred at QB in high school. In a similar situation to Kaleb Winterburn last year, the Bobcats will develop him at safety instead. Let Rylan develop for a few years and see what happens. The kid is well built for the position at 6'2", 190 lbs. and he's a natural athlete. Definitely an intriguing prospect in-state.

[VimSince03]

Here is the list of recruits I "think" were here this past weekend:

DeMareus Hosey (Northwest) - RB (2-star) - 6'0", 190 lbs. - Fort Worth, TX (https://www.hudl.com/profile/6599191/De ... sey/videos)
Jaden Smith (Kennedale) - WR (3-star) - 6'6", 186 lbs. - Kennedale, TX (https://www.hudl.com/profile/2769452/Jaden-Smith/videos)
Dom Brown (Oxnard) - CB (3-star) - 6'3", 185 lbs. - Oxnard, CA (https://www.hudl.com/profile/7428906/Dom-Brown/videos)
Jamahd Monroe (Lincoln) - WR (2-star) - 6'1", 180 lbs. - San Diego, CA (https://www.hudl.com/profile/8058434/Ja ... roe/videos)
Evan Williams (Saint Francis) - FS/WR (3-star) - 6'0", 185 lbs. - Mountain View, CA (https://www.hudl.com/profile/6443557/Ev ... ams/videos)
Rylan Ortt (Missoula Sentinel) - ATH/S - 6'2", 185 lbs. - Missoula Sentinel (http://www.hudl.com/profile/5482094/Rylan-Ortt/videos)

Of course, Smith and Hosey already have signed. This was their official visit.
