Really want green and Williams. I think both of those two are going to be stars

We need Jackson. He and Pack are the two impact Wrs in the state this year and I think Pack ends up at FSU or with the bears.
Our team needs an impact WR more than a RB or a LB.
The only Sr WR we have is Ricco Sanders, and he wont get alot of playing time this year- and we just signed 5 more WR's. Plus, we have 4-star Graham committed.

You are pretty much dead on. And 2010 should have shown all of us that our success and OM's lack of success in a season is only a very minimal impact to in-state recruiting. The things OM does to attract players has very little to do with on field success although it does certainly help when they have it. However, we all know you don't land Top 10 recruiting classes having a 6-6 season coming off of prior multiple losing seasons if you are relying on on-field success as your primary recruiting tool. The best in-state and overall recruiting class we've had that was totally Mullen's was a couple of years ago after Nutt and his staff basically quit knowing they were already lame ducks. We all know that Freeze has reinstituted Orgeron's system with more charisma and even more assistance from the Rebel recruiting network so its going to be an uphill battle for us since we are determined to recruit the "right way" and hang kids out to dry when we find out there was an irregularity in thier recruitment.
People put too much stock in the on field results when it comes to recruiting. I still remember UM fans bitching and moaning when we landed Dapoo, Byrdsobg, Deljuan, Norwood, and Nick Turner, all of whom were all americans coming off the 2001 season.
It comes down to taking advantage of the relationship that you hopefully have with that player. I do think once Vandy kicks the shit out of the bears, it will hurt them with out of state prospects way more than with the in state kids. That is why the Oklahoma State game is crucial; I think we win that one by 10, and Vandy beats UM by 10+ all this momentum and recruiting success goes out the window for the bears.
Speaking of the OM/Vandy game, it reminds me an awful lot of our 2011 AU game. Played them tough at our house. We brought back basically everybody. They lost a ton. They still won. I could completely see that happening for the bears this fall.
Vandy will be breaking in a new QB-Bears may get that one in Nashville
Vandy beats Ole Miss. The blackbears won't sneak up on anyone this fall.
I think it'll be a pretty good game. Vandy will be ready, but UMiss will come out with a lot of energy and cockiness. It'll come down to composure in that one.
