Most memorable crootin' battle

CJ Johnson is who you were thinking about. Dude was a beast in high school and then UM ruined him.

I'm sure the HC at Houston helped, but there were a lot of Houston folks involved in this one of Chris.

Also, Big Jeff's recruitment was something. Nick Saban openingly criticizing MSU for staying with our commitment to him after the video surfaced, all the while contacting him directly that they were holding a spot for him at Bama. Saban wasn't the only one either. Multiple coaches both criticizing MSU in public and working Jeff in the background. Jeff should have posted phone conversations of Saban to social media following his statements to the public.

Simmons was probably my favorite win. We had taken it dry all day on hat ceremonies and it was a pleasant surprise at the end of the day when we salvaged him. And the dude turns out to be the most dominant player I've ever had the fortune of seeing in Maroon

That?s it. Thanks

CJ Johnson had an ole miss fan rip his lanyard off and yell at him on his visit there. He basically swore them off but then the money talked

Been following state recruiting for 50 years. Nothing comes close to the fiasco with Robert Elliott. He ended up hiding in a closet at his house from Ole Miss Recruiting team that just showed up at his house last minute late at night. Literally had to run and hide!

Chris Jones was epic but I go with CJ Johnson. Once he decomitted he helped recruit all of our former commitments to Ole Miss with him. That class was stacked and we had 95% of them.

Simmons. Could not believe we pulled it off

Chris Jones and Leo Lewis

Jeff was the best player I have seen at MSU and it was clear on his first snap as a freshman.
