Listening to Bo Bounds this morning, & he told an interesting story about talking to an NFL scout this weekend on the difference between Prescott & MGK. The scout pointed out to Bo that MGK has two NFL tackles blocking for him in Tunsil & Cooper & MSU has nothing on the offensive line blocking for Prescott that would start at other SEC schools.
With this in mind, was it skill or plain luck that allowed to Ole Miss acquire two NFL caliber players in Chad Kelly & Fahn Cooper while being basically unopposed in recruiting those players?
I believe that luck favors the aggressive & that it was Ole Miss' aggressiveness in recruiting that offered them this opportunity, but let's also be real here. Fahn Cooper was an 87 rated transfer from Bowling Green & Ole Miss acquired Chad Kelly basically unopposed from EMCC because he was kicked out of Clemson & had further issues. If Chad Kelly had a stable personality, would he have left Clemson? Would Georgia & LSU (two teams that don't have a QB) still have sat on sidelines & never offered Kelly?
Point is, as much as we call out Ole Miss for cheating, they acquired two NFL players on this year's team with a ton of luck & I'm not even mentioning Stringfellow.
Mullen needs to see these type of opportunities & not be reactionary but rather lead the charge & seek these players out.
