If so your an idiot and wouldn't know if a pro-bowler slapped you in the face.

If you watch the video, you would see that it would be far more objective for Bryant to be a 4 star than for him to be a 2.

Wow, remind me to never read another thing you say. Are you 12 years old?

I'm sure most of my posts go over your head b/c it appears you have the IQ of my mailbox. I will spell it out for you. This was not a comment on Bryant's ability. It was a comment on the recruiting rankings. I was actually one of the first on this site to defend Mullen for offering Bryant. He is a better player than 2 DB's on our commit list. If you commit to MSU, 247 is going to give you 3 stars.

That's probably because he we aren't going offer any legitimate 2 star players. Rivals is terrible and please NEVER cite them as a source when referring to MSU recruiting rankings. They just aren't a credible source on MSU. 247 and Scout are

Mullen and Hud and the other coaches we kept did a good job of holding on to the class. But Croom and his staff recruited and gained commitments from almost all with the exception of Madrecus Hood, Perkins, Ricco Sanders, and Leon Berry. Give Mullen Slay if want though Croom evaluated and recruited him. That's still 2 NFL players compared to the 11 that Croom left him.

Croom is the worst recruiter we ever had, bar none. His highlight was signing a guy in prison. This claim that Croom left Mullen all this nfl talent is laughable. Sherrill left Croom some NFL talent, but he never developed it or used it right. Croom had the one good class and Mullen had to save it and added to it. Had Tyler walked, like he was considering, the class would've likely fell apart. Compare Crooms first recruiting class vs what Mullen managed in 2009 and then come telle how great Croom was at recruiting and talent evaluation. He did good that one class thanks to Ellis Johnson saving his ass plus a lucky combination of the best class MS has produced in a long time. He missed on waaaaay more than he hit on over his 5 years. And that is NOT debatable. Croom was a disaster in every aspect and saying otherwise is revisionist history. I'd bet that less than half of those 12 would've finished their career at MSU or made the NFL had Croom stayed throughout their career.

It's not a claim, it's a fact. It's exhausting educating you people. I'm not sure I have the energy. And how you could make the leap that anything I have posted somehow relates to my feelings on Croom as a coach is very puzzling to me.

So everyone is rated at least 3 stars on 247 b/c we wouldn't offer anyone who was a legitimate 2star. Interesting thought process.

You do realize that the same jumps will happen at Scout and Rivals as well, right? 24/7 is just realtime with it -- while the other 2 just do massive ratings bumps/evaluations a couple times/yr. Highly unlikely we have more than 1-2 2*s on the other sites by the time NSD gets here.


Rivals doesn't have a single "evaluator" in MS. They do a great job in some neighboring states -- but here, they are terrible...
