Stone Blanton
- Thread starter Leeshouldveflanked
- Start date
He is gonna play both sports and has verbally committed to the baseball team. I thought his parents both graduated from State. Not sure what the hold up is. Looking for attention ? Idk....its my understanding in the end he will be a Dawg
I think his brother is doing his best to get him to OM. He's supposedly involved in some sort of NIL business. A few weeks back he made a tweet that landed him in hot water. Evidently someone said something to him about the tweet and now his twitter profile says something about not being affiliated with OM athletics. That's writing "don't steal my beer on your cooler".
Personally I think it's going to boil down to baseball. If he genuinely wants to play baseball, he's coming to State.

As a state fan, I think it’s best for us to assume he’s not coming here and be pleasantly surprised if he does.
Are you saying that Ole Miss would try to steal a football recruit from us? Inconceivable!b
We have some momentum right now in state to sign some of the top guys, including one currently committed to them, so I expect the cocksuckers to do everything they can to get him. Be happy if he ends up coming to State
He will come to MSU because of baseball.
If it was a football only decision I think he leans to OM right now.

His dad was a KA at Mississippi State. Why would his kinfolk "push" him to Ole Miss?
I got a feeling we ain't getting this kid, I think the fix is in for Ole Miss. They've made this their optics conquest for the class of 2022. I also don't think he's some elite player.
But we will also get some other, better, players.

Rumor has it that his Dad is not a fan of Cohenz and the pretzels at DWS. He's jumpin' on the Lane Train.

Yeah, if we don't get Blanton, but we end up with two or three of these other guys that are trending our way late, I take that trade every time.
He definitely doesn’t appear to be wanting attention. He’s been about as low key as possible. Seems to me like he’s truly unsure. I think Chance Campbell’s success has probably helped Ole Miss some. I also recognize that the MSU baseball program is better (I’m not that blind, biased or dumb) but Ole Miss does have the recruiting pitch of Ealy, Plumlee and Tywone Malone effectively playing both sports and it working. That’s a minor advantage.
Apparently his parents are MSU fans, but his brother (who kinda seems like he’s out there) is big time Ole Miss fan and involved with NIL stuff. That stuff matters in 2021, like it or not. In fact I think it’s hurting both programs. But in this situation, it may be a minor benefit towards Ole Miss.
I fully expect Blanton to sign with MSU. But it taking this long, seems to imply that he’s really torn. By all accounts, it’s a great family that does things the right way. I have zero doubt that he’s going to be a major impact player and have a positive impact on the locker room, too. I’d say it’s 75/25 MSU (and I have no clue) but Ole Miss having that 25% shot is surprising to both sides.
Thats pretty ****** of Ole Miss to do everything they can to sign a good player that MSU also wants.
Tidbit I heard a few weeks ago...
This is purely rumor, which is encouraged here......
guy i work with is friend's with SB dad....apparently he went to aTm and they rolled out the red carpet....they were very impressed.....then went to South Carolina and they also rolled out the red carpet for him....very impressed (this is football btw)......then came to Miss St and they had him "parked out on the back 40 and didnt even know where to go or who to find"......and were less than impressed....my first reaction was this fits the narrative for Leach's recruiting....
in the end, guy said he sticks with MSU bc of baseball

I don't think Leach is a big fan of the long drawn out dog and pony show. It looks like they put plenty of effort in on some kids. Even kids committed to other schools so if they didn't do a meet and greet that lived up to his standards maybe Leach doesn't care if he comes to State or not
That’s not true. I was around on one of his official visits and he was well taken care of.
Does anyone still have the screenshot of Dan's DM for this? I need it for, uh, research purposes...
