Damn. I was thinking we had an 8 percent chance of getting a 5 month commitment.

I'm pretty sure money has little or nothing to do with his decision.

Even if he was interested, we couldn't hang for a player rated like that.

Who in the hell thought we would get him? That's insane

We couldn't even get a recruit last year that grew up a state fan in our own backyard

Well, if State wants to be better than a 5-7, 6-6 max program, they better start figuring a way to get these types of home grown players, no matter who our competition is for their services. Ole Miss may not have succeeded but at least they understand how to play the game and continue to reach for it. State is not even on the bench. Still sitting in the upper deck with the Alumni Band!

If we had a two year run in football like Ole Miss just had, we'd be living in unprecedented times at Mississippi State

That is hilarious. The only thing that matters in all SEC teams is how much NIL.

If we had a season like Ole Miss had we would be talking about how we underachieved and how we should fire Kiffin because he lost to Kentucky and screwed the whole thing up.

Not totally true in the sense that yes, NIL is hugely important, but highly rated players still want to play for a competitive program where they can play for something. We can't currently offer that. We probably get the guy last year if we had been a 7-5 or 8-4 type team instead of 2-10 because he was an MSU fan. But we are going to have to show significant progress to get in the game with these type recruits even in state.

I don't think state will get better than 50/50 from now on . if they win all occ games they still need two sec wins just to get to a shit bowl game. And schedule is not going to give them the two other worst teams in conference.

That is why if and if we get a HC(lebby or otherwise) who can win 6 plus games annually, we need to pay him and keep him.

If we look respectable we should be able to recruit better. The schedule flips in 2026 and 2027.

I can think of a few players on our underachieving hoops and baseball teams that we could have used their NIL money on a player like that. But we need to be spending it on OL and DL, not WR. If you win in the trenches and have a good QB, you can find plenty of WR's that can produce at a high level.
Honestly, I would be pissed if we spent millions in NIL money on a 5 star WR when we couldn't block a 3 man rush the last several years
