If anyone thought an SEC school that's got deep pockets and people committed to cheating was going to plummet in recruiting they have another thing coming. It will hurt them and slow them down some, but they're not about to sign a class full of 2 stars. They'd risk the death penalty before that happens.

And all the preseason hype we are getting is going to drive them to do really crazy things.

Again, their 2 highest rated recruits will not step foot on campus.

Not true. I'm more upset that in the best year for Mississippi recruiting, maybe ever, we will get 2 of the top 10 in state. We can spin it anyway we want, but you can't win big in the sec if you can't win recruiting battles in your own state

Sure, part of recruiting in the South is building relationships but it's so much more.

It's that "so much more part" that people who have never coached in the SEC simply don't and can't understand.

I believe JoMo will recruit well in the future at MSU but July 2018 was a baptism by fire for him and a month that I hope helps him grow into the coach he can be for us. June was good but it was almost too easy.

He needs to learn quick.

I know 1st hand that a certain new staff member is "totally shocked" at what kids around here are actually looking for when deciding where to go to school compared to the ones they were used to recruiting.

It damn sure ain't academics, tradition, nice facilities, or pretty campuses.

When UM is paying people just to take an official visit then it kind of puts an expectation out there.

I loved the thought out there that they would just shut down after the NCAA deal.

Shut down?

Hell, they already had one NOA from the NCAA and there were investigators on campus while they were STILL paying recruits. Coaches and boosters.

Think about that. So they were gonna quit because they got a bowl ban and lost a couple of schollys?

Yup. Hopefully they learn quick.

SMU got a slap on the wrist for paying players the first time but I agree with your point.

Well if you take out the 2 that aren't going to college next year we will get 3 - 5 of the Top 10.

I posted a scenario right after the NOA about OM boosters sitting around laughing that with all the smoke, the NCAA found little fire and then gave them a love tap. I said then that they would be right back in business. Not many agreed and most said they'd be scared of being a "repeat offender"! Ha! They nor the NCAA gives a damn.

Wish I knew how to find that post.
