The problem is no one on MSU side or anywhere else had the same opinion as Steve on the Oatis recruitment. Our fans just chose to believe Steve because it was more popular than what others were saying.

Only saving grace is if he shows up in Starkville next weekend instead of Tuscaloosa……
But that isn’t happening.

We're going to sign the best player and DL in MS. Oatis can play games, but he better be careful doing it.

He's in the all star game next weekend. He won't be in Starkville. This ship is headed out to sea.

Not really. But kids aren't going to play games with this staff. Oatis was never coming anyway.

I disagree with this philosophy, but I hope this works for us.

Out of all the kids who played the game when Mullen was here; a) how many did we land, b) how many wound up any good at OM?, and c) how many times was Mullen & Co caught flat footed and had no plan b?
I?m pretty sure the answers are 2 (Chris Jones and Leo Lewis), zero, and every time.
So I?ve got no problems with Leach wanting kids in the boat and solid

This is the correct approach. Want the respect of recruits then respect your program first.

You think a kid that lies to the staff isn't a liability and issue? If the coaches got hung out last minute on some flip, you guys would lose your minds.

This all day. How many guys screwed us for OM that played the game and led on us? Not like didn't have serious interest for OM. But were committed, or heavy leans, then all of sudden went to OM? CJ Johnson is about the only one that comes to mind.
I can't remember any others where we were like damn that one hurt. Leach has the right approach. If you don't want to be here, don't commit and don't lead us on. Mullen got screwed on stuff like that all the time and we had to scramble last minute to fill scholarships. Leach won't do that. Get in or get out but don't waste time.
It's one thing to recruit a kid the entire way. It's an entirely different thing to commit then play games. This staff won't tolerate that and I'm 100% on board.

I mean, it's 10 days before signing day, the silent commits that we have might as well wait

Agree with this a million %. If you don't want to be here, you probably need to be faking injuries with that child up north anyway.

It is hard to wait until signing day December 15th knowing that so many potentially really good players may sign with State.
But, it's only a couple weeks. Remember when it was in February and there was over two months of this stuff after the season ended. I can wait a couple more weeks, am I nervous about who we get? Yes, but I get nervous over silly shit all the time.
