Hugh Green and Ray "Rooster" Jones did sign with State what was known in those days as an "SEC letter of intent" in December. But Jackie did his "magic" and got them to sign the NCAA letter in February. A lot of State people never forgave Jackie until he got to MSU. That's where Jackie's reputation began as a "rogue" recruiter.
Jackie won the recruiting battle for Tony Dorsett over Joe Paterno a few years before when he was an assistant to Johnny Majors at Pitt as well.
Paterno got upset about that one and started saying bad things. Turns out tJackie had more integrity in his pinky finger than Joe Pa had in his entire 204 yr old body.
is another miss.......Not sure if the DL was just committed or had actually signed but supposedly he was a stud.........Typical MSU luck.......I'm thinking this was around '01-'02 but not sure.......
I think I remember a Texas DL getting shot in one of Crooms early classes (maybe even the one he inherited from Jackie).Quote:

I would put Maudrecus humphrey in this category just because we would likely get his brother as well
