About the recruiting rankings ? We are at 29 all of a sudden with maybe another commit coming. Can we hold them ? We will see but so far so good

Pretty hilarious the threads on here a week ago that were bashing Lebby’s recruiting.
Lebby is a beast on the recruiting trail.

I know which one I'd rather have. Sloppy Joe was a beast on the crootin trail too, amirite?Unlike this guy?
Kinda a little early for that don’t you think? Guy hasn’t even coached a game yet and you’re writing him off.
I hate today’s sports culture. Hot takes abound.
Yet "retire the banner" says "he's a beast on the recruiting trail" before he "even coaches a game". So which is it?
That makes his recruiting so far even more impressive. Guys jumping in the boat without even seeing him coach a game says a lot.
It’s neither. Still up in the air but at least he does have a little history in recruiting.
It’s amazing how one positive comment about Jeff Lebby will send some people on here into a tailspin. Why is that?

It’s Sixpack. Been that way from the beginning
What would you say they base that commitment on, just an honest question? I thought it was an interesting comparison from Goat of all people about Sloppy Joe getting recruits too for absolutely no reason at all
Support the Initiative - The Bulldog Initiative

Seriously, if you want to have any chance of being competitive, donate regularly. No matter how much you hate the NIL world. If you’re giving to Bulldog Club & not Bulldog initiative, you may as well just throw your money in the fireplace.Support the Initiative - The Bulldog Initiative
So they already blew my 3.50?
You’re throwing it in there anyway. Your donation isn’t making a dent, when it compares to our peers in the SEC.
Where you seeing this? On3 has us at 45, with 3 four stars and 7 three stars. OM at 16, with 6 four stars and 6 three stars
His ability to sell his program and his offense, plus a better NIL situation. The man knows how to recruit in today's college football. Sloppy wasnt some great recruiter. He just followed a generally poor recruiter (but great coach and developer).

His spring game offense looked better prepared than any of Joe’s teams, at any point. He may not succeed, but I have no doubt the offense will be better. The defense is his potential downfall.
Speak for yourself. Me and my homeboys pooled our money to pay for half a linebacker.
It is a fact MSU wants a BC donation in order for you to buy football season tickets and other season tickets. So maybe it is a waste to some but not MSU.
I Canceled my NIL donation. It wasn't much so it won't be missed. However there are principles involved here. My kids need "nil" too.
If a player wants to come cut my grass or wash cars to earn this money, they can. Otherwise, ask someone else.

You shouldn't watch them represent State on tv either. You should spend that time doing stuff with your kids. They need your time.
Maybe he watches States Student athletes play sports with his kids by his side. That would be doing something with them. Maybe he helps pay their tuition and they are in advanced studies and don't have time to work a job and they don't get free room, board, and education, and he works hard to send them to State. Hmmmm.
My kid is a 10 star in my book.
Some dude that I've never heard of that hasn't played one play .... zero stars in my book.
Which by the way... how much do these recruiting websites pay the high schoolers for their pictures, video and interviews that generate subscribers to their website?

I pay for my TV. I can watch what i want and espn and the sec will gladly feed it to my home. Which i watch all kind of sports and none of them are asking me to contribute money to flesh peddlers.
This "NIL" isn't real. Athletes being asked by business to endorse their products is real NIL. Asking random people to help buy high schools kids is..... well.... I digress.
On3 is slow evaluating some guys, 247 is higher… the ratings will be 20-35 range as always. If better, then we got a couple I didn’t expect or worse missed on a couple.
either way the transfer portal will be available so the product on the field is no longer just about HS players. Even guys we missed on may come here a year or so later.
Having said that, It’s easy to see Lebby has a good start to this years class, grab a few more and it’s better than most years before he even coaches a down.
Check 247. It's 24 now i think. ON3 has not even rated some of these guys yet
Looks like when we get to a bowl again, we will be chest thumping a Birmingham bowl appearance
It's hilarious watching people prop up NIL as something all loyal fans should do. As if booster pay-for-play is even NIL at all.
But you're OK taking money away from your kids to give to the Bulldog Club? That's pointless.
Fair point. I contribute to the BC because the school requires it for football tickets. Otherwise I would not.
However you are right. I could just buy off SeatGeek and avoid the BC contribution.
Currently, 8 of our 17 commits dont have any ranking from On3. I would stick with the 24/7 rankings for now. On3 doesnt seem to be doing that great of a job getting evaluations posted.
Don't fall for that strawman. You at least get a consolation prize for BC donations, and BC donations fund scholarships i.e. good thing. NIL, as far as booster pay-for-play, is a different thing.
And let me make one thing clear.....nothing wrong with the collectives. I'm glad we have one. But it's a rich man's game. Anyone can make all the donations they want to it, but NO ONE should be shamed if they don't.
Oh I’m aware, I’ve been reading this board since the beginning. I’m not sure why that’s considered a badge of honor though
retire.....I don't agree with you much on MSU football, from our approach to coaching, NIL, hell even the logo. But I do on the state of the game in general, and I admit I do admire your passion for wanting things a certain way. The difference in you/me and a guy like DCD is, he just has an acceptance for the way things are.
Usually this place is the inverse of Swan Lake; all gloom, sunshine pumping discouraged.
Pretty sure they blew that trying to recruit some kid from Scotland. Supposedly a bit of a monster and a loch to start on defense but tends to disappear when the cameras are rolling.
