No mention of Castleton, eh?
Last summer Castleton had 1 offer. He now has 15+ including Xavier, Purdue, Florida State and is now ranked #70 on Scout.
Castleton is a good player and is someone the staff likes. I would be very happy to get him.

So do we KNOW the Pearson offer was just to do a favor for the Irvins and Pearson?mDo we know it was NOT part of a package deal to get Ayo?
I realize he was not coming here without Ayo, so of course it can be a concern he has eliminated us wrt Ayo coming here.
I am not panicking, but this is a slight concern for me, and no I do not mean losing Pearson specifically.
If we don't land Ayo, will we look back on this day and say we should have seen the foreshadowing?
Nothing will ever match the DJax frenzy. That was crazy!! OV's from 4 top 40 recruits(ET, JE, JB and JCL) during 3 weekends in a row was crazy too!!
Cliffmass/Snider was the clear apex of that mountain of crazy.

I'd be surprised if the same type of nonsense follows this staff. They seem much more grounded, professional and calm. In hindsight, I think of much of that frenzy as a symptom of the last staff's incompetence--lack of a plan, all the eggs in one basket, etc. But we'll see!
Eric Gordon recruitment>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Any other recruitment
Grain of FWIW-flavored salt as always, but a couple flips of 247's CBs last night for THT. Now all to MSU. Flood I believe had us prior.
We need less worrying, BAM will pull through for us faithful fans!
We need less worrying, JFG will pull through for us faithful fans!

Third times a charm?
One thing I'm willing to bet on is that the September recruiting thread will be a doozy.
Aaron Henry 100% MSU as well. MSU is only taking 1 of the 2, so one of the predictions is 100% wrong.
The big difference is a change in strategy...Previous regimes rolled the dice without adequate fall back options.
We need a big or two, are working DeSousa, Cassleton, Sow, Conditt.
We need a wing or two, are working THT, Henry, Nolley, Archie, Finke
We want Ayo.
We want Iggy.
Lots of options to get to three rides, unlike predecessors. Many options to get to 4 as well, if its the right 4.

That's because of the hoopla that followed after his verbal commitment. As far as original recruitment to the point of commitment, Cliff was higher than Gordon. But the whole charade that followed after EJ's original commitment will never be replicated.

Do't forget about Ngumezi or Jaxson Hayes.
I don't think we are still in on Ngumezi, but I could be wrong.

People,
Most of us, including myself sometimes, continue to have this feeling of impending recruiting doom. After years of failure of prior staffs, bad luck, bad press, you name it, we just know something bad is about to happen.
Rise up orange sea!!
Maybe none. MSU would have to oversign for either and generally MSU doesn't do that for 100+ ranked recruits.

I'd bet they will take at least 1 since they still seem to be recruiting heavy. Looking at VC they are full, but that includes Bridges who I'm guessing is gone, a Former Walk On (which I wonder if his schollie is year to year) & they have Jackson coming in who is highly enough ranked that he could go after 1 yr. Also Langford/Winston were high enough with a big sophomore season one of them could go early as well; if you think Bridges is gone, then I think they take one in a heartbeat.
