What Leach says is absolutely true. The challenge Leach will have, like all coaches before him, is getting MS HS recruits to buy into MSU (or even OM) rather than propping up the likes of Alabama, LSU, Auburn, etc. Besides having a smaller population state, MS loses WAY more of its Top 10 recruits to neighboring states than it ever gets back. Pretty common for top MS players to go to schools in Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia etc. but extremely rare for MSU to ever pull a Top 10 recruit out of any of those states even though those states produce more D1 prospects. The other challenge on top of that is that Leach, while no doubt an offensive guru, is not in any way thought of as an elite recruiter. Mullen and Freeze did a good job stemming the tide of that for a few years but now it seems the "stay in state" pitch has really lost momentum.
