My final word on this is ..
Everyone that bitches and moans on why we don’t close or why we can’t land certain kids all circles back to the lack of effort we put into recruiting and recruiting guys we have on staff
Some didn’t see the importance of Pat Austin, you saw the results. Who do you think saw the importance and was big on getting Mason on this staff ? Pat Austin.
Go ask Rod Gibson how good this guy was. How many good contacts he had. How the kids and kids parents in the boot and Texas thought of him
Bottom line we dont have near enough guys like the Gibson’s and Smiths .. we don’t pay enough for these spots , we don’t value these positions..
And believe as much as Rod Gibson loves and bleeds maroon and white , if a school came after him with a little more cash don’t think he wouldn’t think long and hard about it

Money wasn’t the only factor in Mason leaving.. if we had countered offered with anything he would have at least listened and considered..

So again believe what you want I am basing all of this from one source.
I don’t care what Rosebowl reports , or what Pail Jones says, or a a certain coach on the staff tells someone , or even an ex staff member.

My info came from Mason Smith himself.

With that said we can get back to MSU recruiting..
Why don't you think we are committed?

Who doesn't want to be committed?

Who is holding us back because every fan I talk to wants to win badly
