The only way to entice the top guys to come is going to be money. The Floridas, Vanderbilts and LSUs will always be able to do that more readily than us. Especially Vanderbilt.
MSU has more funny money that you would think due to the school waving out-of-state tuition with an extremely reasonable ACT score. We don't really lack on scholarship money.

Vanderbilt has tons of scholarship money & LSU doesn't have much advantage over us. Thing is though, those schools have the same current problems we have. They have not gotten their top recruits on campus & thus have below average position players as a result.

Both LSU & Vandy's lineups this year are trash
