Cronin: Simmons saves signing day for Mississippi State

Less than 24 hours before national signing day, Mississippi State was shaping up for a disastrous stumble to the finish line.


QuoteIn back-to-back days, two of the state's top recruits opted to play college football outside of Mississippi. If losing four-star Germantown cornerback Nigel Knott to the Crimson Tide wasn't enough, Mississippi State suffered an even bigger gut punch when four-star West Point offensive tackle Scott Lashley slipped out of its backyard and into the grasp of Alabama, and South Carolina commit offensive guard Lloyd Cushenberry flipped to LSU, not MSU, on signing day.

As the national letters of intent filtered through on Wednesday, Mississippi State caught a glimmer of hope when four-star Starkville defensive tackle Kobe Jones decided to stay home and play for the Bulldogs. And in what seemed like an instant, the tone on Twitter among fans turned from calling for Dan Mullen and his staff to clear out of the Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex to that of praise for the Bulldogs' recruiting efforts in the eleventh hour.

Mississippi State found its way out of a deep hole by nabbing the state's top ranked player in five-star defensive end Jeffery Simmons. The Noxubee County product chose MSU over Ole Miss, Alabama and Tennessee and saved signing day for the Bulldogs.

For weeks it looked like Simmons would end up in Oxford...

State finished 2016 with the 31st-best class, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. It wasn't the best finish under Mullen (which happened last year when MSU finished 18th) or the worst (the Bulldogs had the 35th best classes in 2011 and 2014), but landing a five-star prospect, two four-star recruits in Jones and Greenwood defensive end Marquiss Spencer along with 15 three-star guys is a strong way to finish a rough stretch.

MSU is overjoyed right now and should celebrate its win with Simmons, but the 6-foot-4, 275-pounder isn't the answer for everything.

State entered the recruiting period in January in the race for six of Mississippi's uncommitted or wavering prospects (Simmons, Jones, Knott, Lashley, Raekwon Davis and A.J. Brown). Ole Miss ended up with five of Mississippi's top 10 players, Alabama with three and Mississippi State with two. With as much emphasis as Mississippi State puts on recruiting it's home state, not being able to seal the deal in its backyard with Lashley and Brown is alarming, but Mullen says he won't be haunted by those he missed.

"I guess in the end, you're going to win some and you're going to lose some," Mullen said. "The part to me that I look is most important is you get the guys that are right for you. The guys that fit your program and for us, that want to be developed, that want to be coached hard, want to be much better players when they leave than when they came."

Could things have gone better for Mississippi State? Sure, and going forward, the Bulldogs have to bring their recruiting strategy into discussion. Would it have been different had Tony Hughes, Manny Diaz and Deshea Townsend not left within the six weeks leading up to signing day? Most likely, but MSU could have avoided this last minute uncertainty by pushing for a commitment from Jones earlier and have him and another player serve as pillars to this class in order to help lock up other commits earlier than national signing day.

Recruiting battles will wear on until the very end some years, but having this many late in the game may also be the sign of a bigger problem...

Dan Mullen resurrects MSU's recruiting momentum ending a stretch where nothing went well.  http://on.thec-l.com/1X4oC75

QuoteAt 11:37 a.m. the woman at the front desk screamed out "Wooooo!" The thick walls weren't enough to muffle the deeper roars from inside the coach's office. Simmons, a five-star defensive end from Macon, chose Mississippi State.

"It was a lot of excitement," coach Dan Mullen said. "Like I said, he was a guy that we had up at No. 1 for us all along."

Mullen sprayed silly string in the air. His staff clapped in celebration. His wife, Megan, wiped tears from her eyes. Mullen eventually embraced David Turner, who took over the lead recruiting role on Simmons once Tony Hughes went to Jackson State.

Emotion got the best of the defensive line coach as tears formed in his eyes, too.

The celebration encompassed more than Simmons' addition. It let out an exhale after Mississippi State lost three assistant coaches, three targets to Alabama and the top player in Starkville to Ole Miss since the beginning of the new year.

"It's tough to compete with everybody," Mullen said. "You're talking about the best conference in all of college football. You've got some great teams, some great programs."

MSU's System: Transforming 3-star talent to @NFL players (@HailStateFB) via @MikeBBonner http://on.thec-l.com/1T12hI8

QuoteSTARKVILLE — A pattern formed within Mississippi State's Twitter timeline during national signing day on Wednesday.

Within the updates of new signees appeared retweets from NFL players. Each congratulated the members of the class and relived their highlights from their time in Starkville.

Most also shared a similar signing day experience. They were overlooked.

"OK y'all worried about recruiting and stars remember Me (Darius) Slay and Dak (Prescott) were 2 and 3 stars," former MSU corner and Tampa Bay Buccaneer Johnthan Banks tweeted.

Dan Mullen and his staff entered signing day with a class of 16 prospects. Fifteen were three-star players. The additions of five-star talent Jeffery Simmons and four-star defensive tackle Kobe Jones stole the headlines from an otherwise mediocre class, according to recruiting web sites.

In eight years at Mississippi State, Mullen has never won signing day. He's never reeled in a class ranked better than eighth in the SEC. He's broken into the top 20 nationally once, which was last year coming off MSU's most successful season in 70 years.

This year's class ranked 31st in the country and fifth among Mullen's recruiting classes at MSU, according to 247Sports.

"We're all kind of battling for those same kids," Mullen said. "I guess in the end, you're going to win some and you're going to lose some."

Recapping Mississippi State's national signing day http://es.pn/23XvfwJ

QuoteBiggest need heading into signing day: There's no sugar-coating it: Mississippi State's offensive line was terrible last season. Their linemen couldn't generate any semblance of a running game and they let Dak Prescott get sacked more than any quarterback in the conference. It's really a wonder the Bulldogs won nine games. But that kind of success isn't going to happen again next season without serious improvement in the trenches, especially considering the fact that there will be a new starter at quarterback. With left tackle Rufus Warren and left guard Justin Malone also gone, coach Dan Mullen and his staff were in need of some capable replacements.

How it was addressed: Maybe former No. 1 junior college offensive tackle Martinas Rankin will develop into the difference-maker everyone anticipated he'd become last season. Maybe a few other talented underclassmen already in the program will blossom as well. Because by the looks of the 2016 class, Mullen didn't land any ready-made impact guys on the O-line...

QuoteMonterio Hunt's grandfather Larry Gaillard played at Mississippi State as a lineman. Hunt's uncle Michael Haddix played at Mississippi State as a running back. The way Hunt sees it, now it's his turn to call the Bulldogs his team.

The 2017 Walnut wide receiver verbally committed Monday to MSU.

"By me going there, I feel like I was next in line," Hunt said. "I was raised as a Mississippi State fan and it's been that ever since."

Hunt, who is listed at 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, is a consensus three-star prospect. The 247Sports Composite ranks Hunt as the No. 21 player of his class in Mississippi.

Hunt attended MSU's spring practice Thursday and informed MSU coach Dan Mullen of his decision Monday. He became the Bulldogs' sixth verbal commitment for the 2017 class.

Hunts holds an offer from South Alabama and has interest from Ole Miss and Memphis.

Dan Mullen is waiting on the police reports and more than the video before making a decision on Jeffery Simmons http://on.thec-l.com/1MCm6Ec

QuoteSTARKVILLE — Dan Mullen broke his silence Wednesday regarding the incident that led to the arrest of Mississippi State signee Jeffery Simmons. Mullen told ESPN he is awaiting police reports and more information than the video, which shows the five-star defensive lineman striking a woman on the ground, before making a decision regarding Simmons' future with the program.

"To me, like any situation you get into, you evaluate all the details and research every aspect of it," Mullen told ESPN. "I want to see some of the police reports. There's so much more I want to evaluate with the situation before I make a decision about what's best for our program. The five seconds of video, I don't think there's anything appropriate in it. That's what everyone is looking at right now and I don't think Jeffery would say there's anything appropriate in that five seconds of video. I don't think I'd say there's anything appropriate in that five seconds of video you see. But looking at the bigger picture is where we're spending our time."

A video surfaced last week showing Simmons hitting a woman on the ground. The incident took place last Thursday. The former Dandy Dozen selection apologized for the incident on Facebook. Macon Police charged Simmons with simple assault and disturbing the peace on Monday.

Both charges are misdemeanors. Four others, a man and three women, were also charged in the incident.

QuoteThings are tense at Mississippi State following the news that five-star defensive end signee Jeffery Simmons will only be suspended one game.

Video surfaced of him striking a woman on the ground several times in April, and Mississippi State announced the suspension last week at the SEC meeting in Destin, Fla.

Simmons will be suspended for the Bulldogs' opening game against South Alabama on Sept. 3, and the school has been under a good bit of scrutiny for the decision.But will it have an affect on the recruiting trail?

Not for three-star Penn State commit D.J. Brown.

The Creekside High School (Fairburn, Ga.) native wasn't exactly on board with the handling of the situation, but said it wouldn't impact his decision to attend the university.

However, he does believe Simmons deserved more than a one-game suspension.

"Domestic abuse isn't something to play with," Brown told SEC Country. " I think he should have been suspended a little bit longer than just a game. If he learned his lesson then he learned his lesson.

"I would say [he should have been suspended] at least two games because hitting a women, that's not cool right there. It's different from not going to class. Hitting a women is something serious. You can go to jail for that."

Of course those committed to glass houses...

The woman Simmons beat down was a person living in the same complex who reportedly was bullying his sister.  She was not his wife, girlfriend, family member or other that category that would qualify as "Domestic Abuse" which is being reported in the media.

This was ground and pound abuse of a member of the opposite sex.

FOIA: For Mississippi State, a handful of tweets resulted in secondary violations

Quote[Showing him the "love"]
Less than a month after becoming a recruiting specialist at MSU, Patrick Austin committed a violation with a tweet.

On March 3, Austin replied to a prospective student athlete's tweet. According to documents, Austin meant to send the athlete a direct message. Instead, his message went public, which is a violation.

[Strong countermeasures, lessons learned]
MSU reminded football coach Dan Mullen of his responsibilities to educate his staff on the use of social media. The SEC added to the penalty by preventing Austin from off-campus recruiting for a period of 30 days. It also prohibited the university from in-person or off-campus contact with the prospective student-athlete (PSA) for 90 days.
