It will be very hard for us to finish Top 25 in recruiting when the quality of in state talent is this low. We can't reasonably expect to take higher rates prospects from LA or AL because those players go to in state schools or other blue bloods if they get those offers. There were only 5 4 stars in MS this year. There were 8 last year and already 5 for 2022.

We've done a decent job of getting some kids in the 15-30 range in Alabama. That's best case scenario for us in AL. We've got to find a way to start creeping into the 11-20 kids in LA because we can't reasonably get Top 10 kids from there (the top 6 kids in LA are going to LSU).

We need to get more into Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Texas. We've seen Leach has the heat to get kids from Texas. Top 2 kids in our class are from Texas. That has to continue. But we need to lock down about 8-10 kids from MS every year, get about 10 from out of state, then the rest JUCO/transfers to fill gaps.
