 Don't forget.  They couldn't close either and Mullen was sick of OM's cheating.  Maybe they are not on probation.*** Someone here said if it was a slap on the wrist, welcome to the "Wild, Wild, West!"  Welcome, y'all.

 I thought they were about to start upgrading the lower rated commits

 We better have a list of highly rated targets that are not listed on 24/7 or our ranking will come down as we finish our class also.  JMO.

 Idk I dont run any recruiting website but I can tell nobody ever won a game based on where they were ranked.
 
 
 I think its a racket tbh. Once you get in the 15-30ish range the talent difference isnt very big. Its easy to get the top 10 or so classes right its usually the same teams every year in a different order.
 
 If I havent personally seen the kid I just look at his offer sheet. Not saying I know more than anyone either. Those websites cater to who pays them the most money

 Who are the targets we're favorites for? I think we finish around where we always do

 We are still in the game with a lot of big names. Dan never recruited with the big boys, or when the showed up he tucked tail and conceded.
 
 Moorhead aint. If yall wanna play the game you're gonna have to learn how it goes. We are going to be ok.

 I think 11-30 ranked classes are crap shoots. I expect to finish somewhere between 20-30

 The article (it was a free read and is still there), by Paul Jones on 24/7 about a week and a half ago listed our "top 10 remaining targets" and it didn't sound ike we led for any of them.  We now have only 8 commits out of the top 25 in this Ms class.  Most are committed OOS or to OM with few undecided.  Just what I have read.

 Who do you think these big names still are, if you don't mind listing.

 With the best instate class in MS history, it looks to me like we may finish about the same as usual.
 
 I wish IYOK and Ari would share some thoughts. Like realistic thoughts.

 Me too, as I guess I qualify for panic mode.  Very few of this Ms class is uncommitted and flips from the OOS programs and OM don't look promising.

 Let's just hope the new staff can coach kids up like the old one. We will not recruit with the big boys of the sec.

 My first MSU game viewed was as an 8 year old in 1963.  My late father told me he hated how bama, AU, LSU, Tn, etc would "Cherry Pick" Mississippi's best players, along with us fighting OM for recruits.  This class in Ms. is looking like an ugly flashback

 I honestly thought we were past those days and could hold our own in Mississippi.  It's the OOS schools that are killing this class more than OM.

 Well, it's not meaningless how many of this best class in Ms in ages is currently committed to OOS schools.  Hope on the field results can change some minds before signing day.  Hail State!

							Our recruiting specialist speaks. 
 
 Seriously, if they are ok in the building, then maybe we should be as well. Who knows though.
