Doesn't hurt to have an SHS Head football coach with a degree from MSU but is a lifelong Ole Miss fan.
Our Linebacker coach played in the NFL.Quote:

I have no idea. But it's not one coach. It's 3 that I can think of. But that's there business.Quote:

It's obvious. We didn't wear the black jerseys enough last year. #crootslovethem
I imagine we'll still recruit him.Quote:

Correct, we have a really good signing class started. Willie is young, prone to change his mind. We just picked up two good receivers to add to our 2016 class. We are doing okay, Mississippi is trying to catch-up, don't worry about them! Mississippi has all the issues right now they can deal with! We are Mississippi State University and we are proud of that! HAIL STATE!Quote:

I'm sure UNM didn't want him (ha!). I don't believe a lot of today's athletes grow up wanting to be a Dawg, a Tiger, webel, like they may have years ago. It's about fit, playing time, promises, and unfortunately dirty recruiting in today's world. They hear and are promised the world as a stud in HS. Most step on the SEC campus and see another world of talent ahead of them. I bet most don't hate UNM like we do either at their early age.
Sucks because of where he's from. Other than that, if we had to miss on a position, LB is it.
Maybe we can afford to miss on gay, but we don't need to lose him anyway. Other sec schools (including our instate rival) want gay; so if we land him, they can't have him.
Doesn't really bother me anymore. Recruiting under Mullen is what it is. I like Mullen but we have a 7-8 win program under him and that is what it will always be. He gets enough players to go to bowl games but will never recruit at a high enough level to do much more than that (especially on the OL). But he is a good enough coach to not do much worse.
Holy muther****er!! Muther****ing muther**** **** **** ****....shit sorry I just looked at my calendar and saw it was June 17. Damn I almost blew a gasket.
So, you would rather have a dime a dozen player over an elite player? That doesn't make any sense. You have to have elite players and you have to keep brining them in because what you have now is going to graduate at some point.Quote:

Don't get me wrong we must up our recruiting and hit on more 4 stars and an occasional 5 to move up in the SEC West, especially in the OL. Heck, he lives in Starkville, sure hope he didn't read the threads here recently about what a dump it is to live in Starkville and wanted the bright lights of Oxpatch. Heck, when I was at State I was perfectly fine with the Burger Chef close to campus, Sarge's, Len-Lews, The Triangle Club, and exotic road trips to Columbus to the Southern Aire and the Ironworks. Think I also saw some really questionable movies at the Drive-In on the outside of town. Never knew how deprived I was! Now I'm really showing my age! Hail State! It's still a long time till signing day.
We won 9 games last year and 10 the year before that...Quote:

If you paid attention to things, you'd understand what happened today. Where did his girlfriend commit to a few weeks ago?
I don't think this deal is over, but I wear maroon shades. But bottom line is, there's a fox in the hen house.
Hopefully we are taking my advice and sending spies into enemy territory. Set up with the NCAA as an undercover investigation so the benefits he receives aren't actual benefits to him. Gathers info, goes public in January, signs with State!
Engine.... No way in hell that is happening.
Thy are paying the GF.
The end.
Regular season. We've had one season where we won more than 8 under Mullen and 3 where we won less. Everything set up for us in 2014 with an experienced OL and Dak was unleashed. That is not going to happen very often.Quote:

Best post I've seen in a long time. Spot on!!! We just take it.Quote:

I'm jut glad Hes not an OT.
If Starkville High ever gets a left tackle... Somebody get to his girlfriend quickly.
Did the guy from West Point last year have a GF that Bama got to?
He is speaking to the regular season. We have won more than 8 games once. Won 8 games 3 times. 6 games twice and 5 once.Quote:

I'd call Dak an "elite talent". But here is what gets lost- we do a good job developing three star talent-but how would we do developing four- five star talent? You still get a higher yield from better more talented players than you do with less talented players.Quote:

Just because you win 10 games and we've "historically never done that before" doesn't mean that we aren't underachieving. Just like when Polk II was still taking us to regionals even though we were losing recruiting battles left and right.
It doesn't matter how well we develop talent- if we can't even get the best talent in the state we're never going to come even close to reaching our ceiling. We're still going to be stuck where we are- and probably worse since Dan doesn't have Dak to bail out half of his dumbass decisions anymore. Unless Fitz is a lot better than I realize.
