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.
IIRC, OM was offering EVERY top 100 player (maybe even top 300), and while it may seem "whorish", I think it was a pretty good idea... I mean, what have you got to lose, some free print? Hell, if I was Moorehead/MSU, I'd offer consider a similar tactic, sans the shenanigans...
