One thing will come of this-we'll find out if Mississippi high school football talent is good are not.
Apparently, Nutt and Co. seem to think otherwise.

Just looked at both schools commits and noticed this disparity with in-state recruits. Mullen seems to like to keep things close to home.

I support the two most frustrating teams in America: The New Orleans Saints and the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

They have a good class coming in... | #2 | ||

...I don't think that the fact we have more Mississippi high schoolers committed than them means that we dominated them in recruiting, like some of the
sheep are saying.

But the Cotton Bowl magic... | #3 | ||
|
...will not be unleashed until next year.
Next year, the Cotton Bowl trophy is going to draw in-state recruits to Mississippi like moths to a flame. This time next year, Mullen will be lucky to sign Delta State rejects. I read that somewhere on the internet, so it has to be true. |

Croom originally said that about state (delayed bump... | #4 | ||
|
in recruiting) and then proceeded to back it up w/ outstanding in-state recruiting.

I don't know if that will translate into more wins for MSU over the coming years, but there is no spinning the fact that, when it comes to in-state recruiting this year, Mullen (and Croom, who also gets some credit) has taken Nutt behind the woodshed. |

I don't think he is saying that | #6 | ||

He is just saying that Mullen is making a point to get recruits out of MS, when in reality can you really call this Mullen's class I wouldn't.
I think Mullen said that MS had more pro players per capita. |

We currently have more FL recruits than MS recruits... | #7 | ||
|
I don't think that's a bad thing. But I think it looks bad for an in-state school to get so lopsidely out-recruited in its own back yard.

Ole Miss | #8 | ||

actually has only 5 from MS because Jamar Hornsby is from Florida not from Scooba!
He is the guy who stole his dead friends credit card and ran up 700 dollars worth of stolen gas. Classy guy perfect fit for the red and blue. And for all those red pants wearing homos who think they out recruited us, OM has 23 3 star guys State has 14 but we do have 8 4 star guys compared to Ole Miss only 1. 14+8= 22 for all you Rebels who are obsessed with MSU. I would take 8 4star guys over one any day. You take those 23 from Ole Miss vs our 22 and we will hit them in the face with our cowbells. |

Not to burst your bubble | #9 | ||

But as of today according to Rivals, MSU has seven 4* and sixteen 3*. UM has five 4* and twenty 3*. More of your stars come from Mississippi than ours.
Congratulations.

Too bad that MS is generally 5 or 6 deep with SEC quality players. | #13 | ||
|
Croom dominated Orgeron and Nutt on Mississippi recruits.
Do you really think Cameron Lawrence is as good of a player as one of the top safeties out of Texas or Florida? There are some good players in MS this year, but as a whole it isn't very deep, unlike Florida, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Tennessee. |

MSU and OM cannot go into Alabama, Ga, FL, or LA and get the states best player, but MSU and OM can get the top player in MS. If you want to win at MSU and OM
you have to recruit MS hard, that is not to say that you go to FL, GA, TX, or other states and pull kids out, but for the most part you have to recruit MS.
Nutt is not doing himself any favors with MS HS coaches by recruiting so much out of state. Say what you want, but building relationships with HS coaches is
very important, because they are the ones that are going to let you on campus to see there players. Whose to say which method will work, but history is a good
indicator for the future, and from 1997-2003 MSU and OM both won and went to bowl games, and those rosters where made up of MS players.

Yeah, we're dominating and taking Nutt... | #15 | ||
|
to the woodshed...actually we were already there following the Egg Bowl!! Hopefully we got a few licks in on Nutt before he left. THE OBVIOUS VOID in this class is Offfensive Lineman...I don't care how many 3, 4, or 5 stars we have if we don't have a line that can block...well we know!!!! Put the Kool-Aid down and shear off your wooly coat!!! |

I don't know. Right now, UT and Auburn are ripe for the picking. We just beat them for two | #16 | ||
|
recruits they really wanted. If ever there was a time to do it, it's now.

Mississippi has two more years of good teams. Next year you will win another 9 games and the next year win 7. The year after that Nutt is going to jump ship just like he did at Arkansas when the cup ran dry there. He is a good coach no doubt but he can't recruit. Being at Arkansas made him lazy. You shit heads are done in two years. So enjoy while you can! |

You realize he coached at Arkansas for a decade right? | #20 | ||

Hopefully this class that is marginally better than our's can make up a 45 point deficit. Without any O-linemen don't count on it though.
