That's one of the things that Ole Miss does to help boost their recruiting some. Dan didn't offer these types of players as much.

It appears as if we are going to have a junior day possibly the same weekend that we play Ole Miss in basketball. Look, I know our team sucks in men's basketball right now. But that would be a good game for our fans to try to go to if for no other reason to give us a good crowd for the football recruits. And I do need to mention that this isn't official yet- but I do personally think it's likely.

In the past, Dan probably would have scheduled Junior Day the same day as the ACT with no home basketball game because he didn't want it to interfere with his marathon training schedule.**

Seriously, this appears to be better awareness from our staff in recruiting.
If Moorhead's offense is really Chip Kelly Part II, I would agree with you. We won't know that until next year most likely. Right now, I still think we need to recruit the way Mississippi State recruits - circle in on Mississippi players and other overlooked players from surrounding states (the 5 hour drive time as Muffins said), and show them how much we want them to come help us build something. Blanket offering kids from around the country runs contrary that, and could work against us.

Once we get a reputation like Oregon's, we can recruit more nationally.
