For all the hoopla around the OM recruiting the last week, here are the numbers as of right now...

Ole Miss: 7 Top 300 commits
MSU: 6 Top 300 commits

I am assuming CeCe Jefferson and a few others take the bait and go to Oxford, so they may end up with 8 or 9....but that already includes Leo Lewis, so technically they could lose 1 too. (Although I think Lewiis sticks with them).

So what I'm saying is, while they have several that are rated higher in the Top 300....they aren't really out recruiting us at a high level even in terms of star power. It's just more Nationally, so it gets more attention. With our ability to develop, I will gladly take 6-7 Top 300 commits to go along with the rest of our DAMN GOOD class. Once again, we won't win the press conference, but don't fall for the trap...our class is very very good.
Taking the "5 star" label off of some of these guys, and instead looking at them as a "group of the top prospects in the country", really puts things into perspective that our class stacks up very nicely with some of the best in the country. Just because we aren't stealing a top recruit out of Florida, doesn't mean our studs from closer to home aren't just as impressive. And let's not forget, we have a big class, so that Top 15-20 ranking is for our total class....meaning we have a large, talented, deep recruiting class. I am really excited the more I look at our commit list in depth.

Hail Damn State
