Oh wow, I hadn't evne though of that. But yeah, all the good players will just transfer to another P5 now, not go JuCo which is the only advantage MS hasQuote:

probably would have still gotten Abram, not Sweat. Probably not Rivers. Juco system is not the advantage it once was.Quote:

Of course with the portal the good news is we can get some guys like Cole Smith and Lashley back or guys without having to wait on them in JUCO.
If our boosters keep operating the way they are I seriously think we need to shift back to Jackie style recruiting in the 1990's and get like 10-15 high school guys, about 5 JUCO's and 5 transfers from the portal every year. Yeah- I know recruiting like that jacked up our numbers but recruiting like that also led to our run in the late 1990's and Dan's best class maybe was the one that produced Sweat and Abrams. At least it led to the best defense we've had since 1999 anyway.
Because we would have been one of the few SEC teams to give him a chance, and he's from Atlanta. We've signed players from his high school before. He was well informed about Mississippi state.Quote:
