    Make it part of our culture officially that you can prove your original blue blood school wrong by coming here and showing out.
    We are awful at identifying and recruiting portal players

    I'm sure glad you listed them all so I can see we're batting a great .200 on contributions from our portal players.

    We are batting 100. Where do you see we aren't? Is it because some of these are Freshmen and currently play a lesser role? Greene starts. Mathews came in and is now starting. Banks is in rotation. Polk Started when here. Washington is a Freshman 4 star. Robinson is a So and has caught a TD this season. Mosley is a Freshman. Morant.. a So.. he's played in every game backing up.

    All of these younger players recruited, we are going to need in the near future.

    Outside of Polk, who has been an instant big contributor? (Not counting players now in year 1. You left off Lashley and the WR from bama that didn't last the season). Green must be one of the most over rated Texas 5 stars ever,

    Most all of the ones I listed are from this past recruiting season and I listed in the post above their class. Sorry that you evidently don't like it?? Greene does a damn good job. Lashely... That should tell you how messed up our recruiting was prior and everybody agrees the OL is an area that has hurt Ms ST for the past 5 plus years. The bama WR got dismissed due to his own actions.

    So what you are telling me is stars don't matter. It ain't the stars I been saying that for years. Yes some stars matter but just because they got 4-5 don't mean jack.
    Not even sure how you get that from what I posted. If they didn't matter, then there would be no ranking system and bama would not be BAMA. Tell that to UGA. Tell it to any other top 10 team.


    The fact is we are using the portal. We are doing pretty damn great in it for what our over all needs were. Our biggest need this past season was DBs. This class will have different needs and we will see what is out there and how we do.


    And here is what I have been saying. We are building a program. That takes time for it to be done right. Names mentioned here, like Clawson.. all have had to have time to build it to where you like what you see. Clawson took 5 years at his previous stop and 5 at the current stop to have a good team that competed. Mullen took time. But that's not what you and some others want. You want it now regardless of progress.

    Washington - 1 tackle
    Robinson - 1 catch
    Mosley - 0 catches
    Matthews - good
    Banks - 3 tackles
    Greene - good

    No it isn't. We are batting 100. Is it because some of these are Freshmen and currently play a lesser role? Greene starts. Mathews came in and is now starting. Banks is in rotation. Polk Started when here. Washington is a Freshman 4 star. Robinson is a So and has caught a TD this season. Mosley is a Freshman. Morant.. a So.. he's played in every game backing up.

    All of these younger players recruited, we are going to need in the near future and we used the portal to bring them in.

    Then we need to get better at that. It's a much more realistic path for us to get talent to Starkville.
