They should revise some of that if a D player chooses MSU. He might be undervalued for some reason. Before many jump on I'm saying that in comparison to all the 5 star D at UGA.
The state of Mississippi has historically produced more defensive talent than current day offensive talent. We should always have a solid D based on what the high schools produce. Add in the fact that rural Mississippi high schools are not as watched by the recruiting services and you have a ton of Jonathan Banks diamonds across the state. I prefer we keep it that way. Hell, Chris Jones was an example of a kid on very few radars before he became one of the most sought after recruits in the nation.

Where we are lacking is the skill offensive guys, and air it out QB types. The QB part is taking care of itself. Mississippi lacks in this ares and it seems each year the few go elsewhere. Leach going into Texas and other parts to fill these needs for his offense should only further improve it.
