To your surprise, I'm actually the complete opposite of what you'd expect.

I've actually lived all over the country & have degrees from multiple universities.

All that had let me to actually realize how great our university is & how the pastures really aren't greener on the other side of fence. It's the belief that is & me having the knowledge of experience that it really isn't that frustrates me.

I think the solution to fixing MSU's instate recruiting problem is for kids to respect & grow up wanting to be bulldogs & to have people around them that frequently talk well of the place & the football culture we've built.

The solution is future recruits growing up with posters of Dak, Chris Jones, Fletcher Cox, Darius Slay, etc on their wall & wanting to take the same path as them.

The narrative that Mississippi people feeling that others pastures are greener needs to die. In so many ways beyond football, the state cannot move forward until that happens.
