So based on averages, they would have somehting like 450 kids equal to on average to our average 15 D1 prospects. Those states can afford to lose some, MS schools cannot.

We could win the SEC and the National Championship with just the talent in MS and a few from neighboring states. Shotgun, although brash, is making a great point here. Our players in this state should take pride in MSU and UM. Other than very specific instances, other programs should be 3rd place by default.
Thank you. You get it.
