I'm talking about head to head battles for kids EVERYONE thinks are great football prospects. Seems like we always split 50-50... I consider a 60-540 split on the blue chips a very good year in recruiting... I'd say dominating is a 70-30 spit, which usually only happens when there's a coaching change or something like that. Head to Head with both coaches in good standing... I don't see either school taking the lions share.
To me recruiting doesn't stop once they sign on the dotted line. If we sign 25 five star players that are all busts that doesn't do us much good. Development is part of that. And sustained development helps with eventually dominating in state because when these guys see guys that they thought were awesome in high school like Singleton and Brassell flame out and then they see guys like Jameon and McKinney going to MSU and becoming stars- it makes a difference.

Ole Miss can spin that away however they want to- but kids aren't stupid.
