We are still relegated to having to find the small school hidden gems or academy guys like Beckwith and coaching them up.
It makes no sense, and until this changes, there will be no competitive games vs the top teams in the SEC.
The truth is we aren't landing enough of the elite ones from Mississippi. Steen, Womack, and Lashley went to Alabama. Charles and now Cole Smith to LSU. Patterson and Rod Taylor to Ole Miss. A few of those we had pretty close ties to and I believe we offered all of them. The truth is we've gotten outworked a lot in recruiting.
McDowell - Lee County is 7-0, and averaging 40 points a game and plays in the same region with Houston Co, Northside-Warner Robins, and Valdosta. They are currently the #1 6-A team in the state. The school has 1,600+ students, and it produced Buster Posey and Luke Bryan, so it's not some po-dunk MAIS school no one has ever heard of.
Womack-was never coming here.
Lashley- Would you rather have Lashley or Jeff Simmons? I'll let you figure out what I'm talking about here.
Charles-Was from Louisiana. LSU was the "Dream School"
Patterson- Was living with a Ole Miss booster in Petal. Never coming here.
Taylor- OM pipeline, at the time, to C'Way was strong. And honestly Taylor hasn't really done much at OM. I'd take Elgton Jenkins and Deion Calhoun or Story over him.
Lashley or Simmons?
