We're recruiting him but we're not pressing him. Coaches are trying to see how legit his interest is. I'm sure he'll be here next week & he'll likely take an OV. Most believe he'll end up back at OM. I don't this is being orchestrated by OM but I also don't think our coaches will be caught in a bad position.Quote:

Glad we could pull our 4th option..
Difference in Moorhead and Mullen is that Mullen's 4th option would have been an in state 2 star or low 3 star with no D1 offers.Quote:

I'll take Moorhead in that regard 10 times out of 10
Just remember, everyone says we're recruiting better and brining in a different level of talent. It's what is supposed to make everyone feel better.Quote:

Moorhead wasn't going to come in and never miss. That's stupid to think question is when he does miss, can we do better at elevating the lower portion of our class.
If Groce is in fact a 4th option, then Moorhead has done part of his job at elevating recruiting.
Landslide? Not really and it?s just a site ranking, how many 4th or 5th options or low ranked 2 or 3 stars did our previous staff recognize and develop in good players or put into the NFL. You get out side of the Top 10 in recruiting the players are a lot closer than people want to believe and it?s about fit and development. I?m not saying it?s not good in his recruiting but you are way over stating how much better the actual players we are signing compared to previous staff. When signing day is done we will finish what? 25th-30th in rankings? That?s not a nickel worth of difference than what we have been getting player wise for the last decade. Except Mullen?s lowest ranked class produced very well on the field. It?s finding the right player and developing them.Quote:

Keeping most of the top kids in state, making sure classes are balanced (something Mullen struggled at), and taking advantage of our Juco system are what will give us the best chance to be successful.
You can bang on Joe all you want, but recruiting is one phase of his HC job he gets..Quote:

Wheat and Groce is a solid LB combo for this class.
So how'd we do with the historic Mississippi class last season?Quote:
