Apologies if this has already been mentioned. Marks in the article as well as the RB Ole Miss has committed from Columbia.

Yeah- Ole Miss's diamond in the rough RB with few offers gets a four star and the experts act like they don't know where Mississippi is with our guys.

I don't get this at all.

Is this guy a 4 star player & better yet, is he better than Dean & some others of ours?

Kinda makes you wonder doesn't it?

Is he really a 4.35 forty athlete or is that just Ole Miss propaganda?

He's a legit player but so is Dean. Dean needs his film looked at but I'm not going to knock Bullock to prop up Dean.

Of course not but he's very fast.

[Cooterpoot]

Bullock is a 4.4 guy. He can fly. Durability has been his issue in the past but he’s been healthy this year. OM locked him up though.

[Hambone]

Like duffle bag locked him up or is going to stay at his house all hours of the night locked him up? Haha

According to Red Cup Rebellion, both Dillon Johnson and Emmanuel Forbes are at the UM-Vandy game. They say flipping Forbes is a major priority and are recruiting Johnson as a safety.

What sucks is we will get massacred in our next 2 home games, which makes visiting us pretty terrible, and useless for the home team.

Well, I will knock them for not properly evaluating our guys.

You know sometimes it better for our guys to fly under the radar, not evaluated correctly by recruiting sites. Maybe Mullen and crew got too much credit for developing guys. Or they had an eye for "diamonds in the rough". I feel it's somewhere in the middle. I think MS players will always be under valued, unless it's a Jeffrey Simmons type. For national perception and rankings it hurts. But it helps keeping Cox and Banks talent home.

I know what you’re saying, but Fletcher was highly recruited and OV’d to Bama.

You're right on Cox... Hopefully more MS kids figure out they can make to the NFL at State. And start to pay attention to how many MS kids don't see the field at Bama and the likes.

I think it hurts for two reasons:

1. It hurts fan morale because it gives the false impression that we aren't recruiting well. Which can potentially hurt support overall.

2. I don't want other coaches telling players that if they commit to MSU that they won't be ranked as high. Yes, that's an ego thing for the players but who doesn't want what they properly earn?

[Cooterpoot]

Look, recruiting rankings are mostly fake news. We could sign a top 10 class and it would be ranked 15th+.

I think 15-20 nationally is our ceiling. We're always going to take a few under the radar guys that will be three stars because the recruiting services are too lazy to look at them.

Worst home game schedule in recent memory. First 3 games played in a furnace, next 2 games we will get blown out, the next game we will blow out Abil Christian and then the Egg Bowl on a major holiday. Not a lot of incentive there for ticket sales and recruiting visits.

I get what you're saying. And agree to a point.... I don't feel there's much difference in talent after top 12-15. Now, that's when coaching makes a big difference. That 09 and 14 was packed with highly sought out recruits, my memory fails me sometime; age and kids. I think them been under the valued by those services worked in our favor. Just like clockwork every 3-5 years we should make noise in the SEC.

14 was not a highly recruited class at all, 15 was though.
