As diluted as their fans are, they genuinely have bought into the "why not us" attitude. It's something I wish we had. They have beaten Bama for 4 OL in the last 12 months. FOUR! They are going heads up with Bama on Hampton and heads up against FSU for Pack and though they are wasting their time, they are going after Green until the bitter end.
Mullen better be right about some of the commits we have on board, because he needs a class to come through big time.
Mullen very well could be, but do you guys really think he is this dumb? Do you really think they sit over in the football building throwing shoes at the wall out of anger because they can't figure out how OM gets so many visits from highly rated players? Do you really think they don't try and get players from Illinois, Michigan, etc to visit?
Guys, Mullen may be stubborn, but he isn't dumb. OM isn't using some mysterious recruiting strategy that no other school can figure out. They are paying players and offering benefits for players to visit. It's the only thing that makes sense. I can't imagine that Mullen and Co aren't attempting all the same recruiting strategies that OM is. All sports leagues are copy cat leagues.
After the Humphrey tweet a few weeks ago, I have started think that this recruiting problem has much less to do with Mullen than the alumni recruiting situation we have.
You guys give Freeze and his "recruiting strategy" WAY to much credit. I mean, have you guys heard Freezus talk. He comes across well, but he ain't no rocket scientist. He isn't outsmarting the entire college football world when it comes to recruiting.
Do you really think OM is recruiting well because their fans have bought in the "why not us" attitude?
Come on man, the main reason everyone on this board has been pissed all week is because the MSU fan base has the "why not us" attitude.
Doesn't OM already have 21 commits? How many more can they take?
