Here's an idea. Stop recruiting 8th or 9th grades. Flat out stupid to recruit a player that young and undeveloped physically. It's Tim Brewster signing an 8th grade football team stupid. If you can't get a player to sign recruiting him his jr. and sr. years in HS you are never getting that player anyways. Recruiting players before the 10th grade is a total waste of time. Save the time you'd spend wasting on an 8-9th grader by finding the guys getting unnoticed in the 12th grade. Oh and dirtbags is a high compliment for baseball players. Means they are a tough scrappy player that likes getting their uniform in the dirt. Basically a different way of saying a blue collar guy. Go get some country strong mother****ing dirtbags. We are in Mississippi. There's bus loads of these types within 200 miles in every direction. Stop relying on the Dodgers team and go watch the two best HS teams in every nook and cranny in this state and you'll find enough dirtbags to fill 3 rosters and none of them will be draft risks. There are so many good baseball players that don't understand how to recruit themselves correctly for MSU to find them so they just die out after high school.
