pretty decent offers for a 3 star ... looks like a good get. Hope we can hang on to him if he blows up and adds another star this season
OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

Something I noticed - 5 private schools kids and a public charter school kid of 9 commits so far.
Seems unusual based on past years
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

I just think that's kind of the way things are. I know Elam went to a private school because his public school team shut down due to COVID. The private schools being inferior to public schools thing has been a myth that has been busted for about ten years now. So I think more parents are OK sending their kid to those schools to play sports.
Although I'd like to see Stone Blanton transfer to Madison Central for his senior year. (smile)

That's not a myth. That's fact. Public ball is better, especially athlete-wise. 2A teams have beaten both Prep and MRA the last couple years and those are the best in private.

I think it probably depends on the school and where it is. Benedictine Academy in Savannah comes to mind for me. They cherry pick athletes from around Savannah and put them on "scholarship". They also play in the public-school GHSA at the AAA level instead of destroying the other small private schools in the GISA along the coast like Frederica Academy here on St Simons. They produce D1 athletes regularly. BA regularly beats 4A -7A teams across South Ga. Kids from private schools like BA I think are a bonus and are used to competition at a high level.

Prep has also beaten Pearl before too.
The myth used to be that a private school would be unable to beat the worst 1A team in the state has definitely been busted.

We were never in it for Oatis. It happens. That’s why we were/are all in on Z Harris from the start.
Know the battles you can and can’t win.

They're doing a bang up job right now. I'm happy with the way things are going currently.

That was never the myth. That first game with Prep and George Co. all those years ago proved that. But private schools aren't as strong overall, don't have the athletes, and outside of MRA, none of them could've won 2A this year.

Regardless the very top players in that league are as good as the ones in public schools. I'm talking about the Stone Blanton's and Jerrion Ealy's. Not the average player at East Rankin Academy.

Seems good to me. I like that he has been at Arizona where they have to use a similar recruiting model as MSU but he's also been at Michigan where they recruit well and he probably has some insight on how bluebloods recruit and what they put into it- which is what MSU really needs as far as recruiting. Because to be honest I don't feel like we put as much into recruiting as we could or should. And I think it's more of a "we don't know" issue than anything from the administration standpoint.
