Hugh Green and Ray "Rooster" Jones did sign with State what was known in those days as an "SEC letter of intent" in December. But Jackie did his "magic" and got them to sign the NCAA letter in February. A lot of State people never forgave Jackie until he got to MSU. That's where Jackie's reputation began as a "rogue" recruiter.

Jackie won the recruiting battle for Tony Dorsett over Joe Paterno a few years before when he was an assistant to Johnny Majors at Pitt as well.
Paterno got upset about that one and started saying bad things. Turns out tJackie had more integrity in his pinky finger than Joe Pa had in his entire 204 yr old body.

Who was the 5 star DL from Louisiana that was shot/killed? Broussard? Roy Oswalt
is another miss.......Not sure if the DL was just committed or had actually signed but supposedly he was a stud.........Typical MSU luck.......I'm thinking this was around '01-'02 but not sure.......

I think I remember a Texas DL getting shot in one of Crooms early classes (maybe even the one he inherited from Jackie).

I had a near miss at the The Club in West Point with a 5-star prospect out of Alabama. She would have been one of the best athletes I ever tackled

Paul Broussard. I think he had already signed. He was shot in a parking lot in a case of mistaken identity. The shooter meant to kill someone in particular, and evidently Broussard looked similar to the guy. The shooter admitted he simply shot the wrong person.

Indeed you are correct..........Here's the SI story on it..........

I would put Maudrecus humphrey in this category just because we would likely get his brother as well
