Don't follow recruiting much. Ended up looking at some of it today. How is UNC recruiting as well as they are? They have 1- 5* and 11 or 12- 4*'s along with a bunch of high 3s.
Seems like that kind of came out of nowhere. Surely a coaching change wouldn't make that much of a difference even being Mac Brown.
Mack Brown is 1 of the better recruiting coaches of our generation. It also doesn't hurt this is an all time great North Carolina Class Instate. They have 17 commits with 14 being Instate. The 1 5* if from Virginia & not far from where Dre Bly, UNC DB Coach, grew up. He's also enrolling next month so he'll go to the 2020 class & their class will drop some. They're not doing anything crazy though but locking up home.
Just looking at the make-up of their class - looks like North Carolina is having a solid year for producing prospects, and UNC is benefiting. Throw in a 5 Star from VA, and they have a stellar class. The were #19th last year.Quote:

Remember this board making fun of the brown hire? It's looking pretty solid right now.
Its funny how Texas has made so many solid coaches look like clown shoes, lol.Quote:

They just haven't gotten the coaches to pick the train up back on the track of elite ness.Quote:

It would be nice if there was a generational class like that in Mississippi and we cleaned up house like that.
NC is loaded with talent this year and Covid has killed recruiting, so they're staying home.
It would be a lot easier if LSU wasn't to our left & Bama/Auburn to our right.Quote:

I mean they have Clemson and Georgia right below them.Quote:

Lol 3 Top 10 recruiting programs surrounding your borders is an excuse now? Sure.Quote:

How many top 10 baseball programs border Mississippi? I can easily think of three.Quote:

They can keep the 4 TE
MSU is a top 10-15 baseball program. That's like comparing apples to computers.Quote:

We weren't in 2009 when we started to recruit better again. Our football program has had more winning seasons the past ten years than baseball too.Quote:

Sucks for USC E.
I guess it probably isn't good for the SEC in terms of the ACC becoming a more competitive conference.
Miami is getting better
UNC seems to be getting better
Clemson is Clemson don't see them going anywhere.
FSU has the potential to be a consistent top 10 team.
If they could get Notre Dame to come into the fold completely they would have the start to a decent conference.
