So.....as the dust settles, explain this:

I enjoy the back and forth banter, especially between the real idiots on both sides, but what are we bragging about again?

 

[AHSDawg]

Its simple. OM is an elite program. We are not. They are light years ahead of us. The fact that we are even in the same atmosphere with them is depressing to them. This combined with the fact that they have significantly ranked ahead of us for YEARS at this point in recruiting. What has it done for them? Now, they cannot even do that.

AND, look at the information itself. Tell me how it really makes sense.

OM 21 signees, 14 3-star, 7 4-star
MSU 28 signees, 21 3-star, 7 4-star.

Which class do you think is better?

 

[1msucub]

That was a large part of my point, AHS... I enjoy NSD....I really do. Gives me something to pass the time on what is usually a slow day at work and I have a couple of LSU and OM friends that I go back and forth with, but in the end, Alabama signed 6 (SIX) five stars. The rest of us are sitting at the kiddie table.

 

[AHSDawg]

Exactly... you make sense TO SENSIBLE PEOPLE. But, alas, OM do not qualify for that statement. This sentiment has been brought forward by MSU for years. Which is better? OM with a class of 20 3 and 4 star recruits by one 5 star OR MSU with 22 recruits that are all 3 and 4 star recruits. It's so stupid. There won't be 10 plays of difference between those 2 classes.

But, to them, it is all about winning the press conference. They try to pass that off as a joke but they really do believe it. They cannot handle it that no one outside of Oxford really doesn't believe that OM is a national treasure of football prowess. They cannot handle that at all. They really do feel like because they beat Alabama when Alabama was #1 that this puts them in that category.

 

[BiscuitEater]

OM also signed ...

Which class do you think is better?

4-star DE from La .. to up their 'class.' They also already announced he is a definite 'sign & place.' Won't help for at least two years BUT his signature makes the class look better especially with a smaller class.

this thread will tell you all you need to know about their mental state of NSD

http://nafoom.yuku.com/topic/50807/Lodge-is-a-5Star-Rebel#.VNJfUZh0zlY

They still just cannot understand it. Seriously, when was the last NSD that we 'won'? Yet, no matter how you look at it, you have to say that MSU is a much more successful program over the past 6 years.

We both signed great classes, they missed on Richmond and that was a huge area

of need as was LB and the miss with Leo. Both our programs are in excellent shape.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

It's not so much bragging rather we're enjoying what's happening to Ole Miss. National Signing Day is the holiest day of the Ole Miss football calendar. We like NSD, but it's about as important to us as they claim the Egg Bowl is to them.

 

[tommyboy1520]

That is some serious delusion there at the end.

 

[Hammer Down]

It is the fact that they care so much about the perception of NSD. Similar to us in baseball. I imagine watching us win the press conference is like us watching them in Omaha last summer.

 

[coach66]

Well put.

What's there to

explain? Does anyone believe that there is some diff in 17 & 18?

Go read Talty's story on the Bama Bump. Maybe all those five stars arent really five stars.

 

[Shmuley]

Saban himself admitted as much.

[fishwater99]

We have a better class and filled our needs better too..
We will be ranked higher, unless they get Cece..

 

[tenureplan]

How is Georgia not in the underachiever side of things?

17		Ole Miss	22	0	7	15	88.64	245.31	▼
18		Mississippi State	28	0	7	21	87.67	239.02	▼

Just from a Math perspective the only reason we are lower is because we have more 3 stars 21 vs 15, if we had say 14 3 star and a class of 21 we would be higher. I am sure there is other information used that isn't shown, just not sure how it is calculated.

 

[MarkDallas]

Isn't Lodge a 5 star?

 

[DudyDog]

The exciting thing to me, and not that I'm bragging about it, is knowing that Dan can take the 149th ranked LB in his class and turn him into a 1st round draft choice or a 171st ranked DE into a 1st-2nd round draft choice or the 70th ranked best QB in his class into a Heisman contender and knowing that today he signed three guys that were ranked in single digits in the country at their positions and wondering what he can do with talent like that.

Not to mention from top to bottom what appears to be the best class he has signed in 6 tries and what he can turn them into. He got us to the number one ranking with classes ranked in the 30's and 40's. I dream about what he can do with 3 top 20 classes in a row.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Don't know if ...

explain? Does anyone believe that there is some diff in 17 & 18?

Anyone from the State staff has mentioned academic issues. As I understand, Leo has some work to do his final semester and TD Moton needs a point or two on ACT. Haven't heard about any others.

Bucky just announced 'best OM class' since his arrival but ALSO mentioned that there were 3 signees with academic concerns; one is a definite 'sign & place' in JC.

 

[Shamoan]

there can only be one answer.
