And for the younger Dogs' here......it didn't even used to be a 50/50 split among desirable recruits. Johnny Vaught & Co. used to dominate our ass for years and years. OM, I would dare say got about 90+% of the blue chip recruits up until about 1974. Then, we hired ex-ReBearShark coach Bob Tyler as our HC and he turned the recruiting tables on them from that point on. Very similar to the Ole Miss basketball coaching hire of Kermit Davis, Jr.....let's just hope Davis doesn't do the same thing for them in basketball that Tyler did for us in football. Since the Tyler era, recruiting has been back and forth a bit, with neither team dominating for any length of time. And I dont expect this to change.....we just need to get our share of instate talent, then search around for some out of state and JUCO talent to fill the holes.

If I ever have a slow day at work and need some funny entertainment, I read OM Spirit.

I read Spirit recruiting practically everyday, you got to reconnoiter the enemy and like KO said there are some on there that are so stupid it's hilarious.

Yeah vaught and bear used to take who they wanted and even ones they knew would never play for them. Times have changed.

Yep, and back then that was where the OM Money Booster would tell a recruit "if the paper asks you anything about getting any money, tell them that you don't know a damn thing about any money". And this came from one of the Major OM Money Boosters, whose brother was one of my Dad's best friends.

We are very lucky that OM isn't the Bama of Mississippi. They f*cked it up and so glad they did!

Maybe I don't know what you are saying but I'm speaking of the '60s not 2013. Back in the 60's/early 70s, they could have taken the ball and gone home.

Does Deke Adams give us a tiny shot with Byron Young? Maybe him being from Mississippi helps?

Just the opposite.

So we should quit football? Basketball too maybe.

Did I say that? I didn’t think so. I answered his question. We do need a new BBall coach.

This weekend is going to be interesting. Best hang on. Ups and downs coming.

So we are losing Darius Washington, but Emerson may not be gone yet? And we're all going to watch and see what Ealy and Mingo do this weekend to tip their hands?

A lot of indecision right now. This could be a spectacular close or we could fall flat on our face. What do you guys think?

Yup. I can't help but think how awesome it would've been to sign Pickering, Young, and Moore. Amazing how that deteriated so quickly.

I think the fan bases' trust with JoMo is getting shaky and he needs a win. Mingo and Ealy would bring hope.

I'm not even sure Moore is going to hava a slot anywhere. And we are the ones who had a plan for eligibility, don't fret over that one. Waste of good oxygen

I think we get Mingo, and lose Ealy to OM. Of course all of that could change tomorrow and we get both or neither. What a crazy recruiting cycle.

Mingo 50-50 Ealy went from ours w Huff to I doubt it now. Maybe I'm wrong.

If you're right about that he may try to commit to us. Doesn't sound like he's a take anymore so...
