Have any of you seen this Ole Miss explanation of MSU's success........

Freeze has recruited 4 and 5 star talent from out of state, so his program is more sustainable than Mullen's, who has recruited 2 and 3 star talent from in state.

Yeah I'm bipolar and all, but I think it's pretty clear which of those methods is more sustainable. Seeing how Freeze has only successfully recruited 4 and 5 star talent out of state ONE YEAR, and only because Houston Nutt gift wrapped that one for him by taking a guy with baggage after NSD. Meanwhile Mullen has made his program out of talent readily available to him pretty much every year.

Funniest thing is, all that talent from out of state they have is useless if Bo Wallace gets hurt. Much like us with Prescott.

Wow, that is the first time it has ever occurred to me that Nutt is the one who recruited older NKrmdiche. So literally Freeze's whole first class was a result of Nutt. They don't get Robert, and they aren't in the running for treadwell and Tumsil. Talk about food fortune for Freeze.

I know the mantra lately has been that ole miss is so far more talented than we are - at least from a "stars" perspective. But reality is we are both at the bottom of the SEC in talent and they are only a few % points higher than us.




Team % '13-14 v. '11-12
Alabama 73 Up 4% (percentage points)
LSU 62 Up 17%
Florida 54 Down 16%
Auburn 53 Down 13%
Georgia 51 Up 3%
Texas A&M 46 Up 8%
Tennessee 36 Up 3%
South Carolina 30 Up 5%
Ole Miss 25 Up 14%
Arkansas 18 Down 2%
Mississippi State 18 Even
Missouri 12 Down 4%
Kentucky 12 Up 12%
Vanderbilt 9 Up 8%

This is from an article on SB Nation from back in February. The first number next to each team is their % of blue chip players (4 and 5*) on the roster. The Bearsharks are at 25% and we are 18%. Not the night and day difference as it is being portrayed.

Yeah but we more than make up for it with the steriods we feed them. ;)

How many more four and five stars have freeze gotten?
