2023 MSU FOOTBALL RECRUITING Discussion Thread

[Hot Rock]

The only problem with going with an in-state philosophy is that you get stuck with kids that aren't SEC material. I think coaches need to be able to show kids the portal. I don't like it, but if we are going to play in the SEC, what I want to do is let USM sign a bunch of in-state kids and the ones that develop can transfer to MSU after USM develops them.

Why waste a scholarship for two years, let USM do the heavy lifting and then let them transfer to a real school. It is the new normal.

What you seem to be missing is that there are 12-18 Mississippi guys that are SEC quality every year. You get all of them you can and hit TX, LA, AL, GA and Fla to get up to 18-22 every year. The rest are portal and Juco's. You don't go after the ones that aren't SEC worthy but you do go after the ones that you think will be.

You don't sit around and let Southern Miss get good with these guys, who says they will want to leave if they are good.

Aside from La and Texas, Georgia seems to be the other state this staff targets, I think Miller has some connections there.

Having followed other programs, and lived in other regions of the country, I’m still amazed with the talent per capita in Mississippi and La.
