Just another reason to love Prep. Game winning pitch thrown by a patriot, game winning run scored by a patriot. Game over, Dogs win.

Back in the day, followed Phil Hull from Prep in track. Heck of a mile runner. Went to State, too.

Dan Van Cleve, MSU's all-time leading run scorer, went to Prep. Also back in the 70's, Larry Pavlou was a great infielder for the Dogs who went to Prep. Mackey White, a starter for MSU's basketball team in the early 80's, went to Prep.

Seems like we’ve always snagged solid athletes from Prep, but make no mistake Prep is about 80/20 split Ole Miss to State.

thats not correct. i would say 60% om, 25-30% state, 10-15% other (usm, bama, vandy, auburn). just trying to be accurate.

Both wrong....... MSU has gotten the most students out of Prep the last 2-3 years. Got the most out of Saint Andrews this past year too. I think its majority at Prep, and plurality at SA.

Plurality from St. Andrew's? I know quite a few St. Andrew's folks who went on to Ole Miss so I'm a bit shocked.

Where have you gotten this information? I would love for you to be right, but based on my own experiences and connection to the school, that is a bit shocking if true.

Its true. I think the class of 16 was the first in prep history to send more to state than anywhere else

I'm surprised I didn't see any This Is Our Prep threads or posts when it happened.

thats pretty crazy. things have changed in 10 years and done so, quickly. om is quickly turning into a school for tennesseans, texans, and georgians. bold strategy....lets see how it plays out.

It was about 50/50 with State and Ole Miss when I graduated there in 2010.

But football-wise, Ole Miss has gotten more. Ryan Buchanan most recently and Jerrion Ealy has committed to Ole Miss. He's an absolute beast on the gridiron and diamond.
