Just spit balling here but I'm sure many of you notice that we offer a lot of guys based on camp. A lot of these guys we are offering don't even have major D1 offers but according to coaches they looked great in camp. Could it be maybe because we don't have a bunch of 4 and 5 star guys coming to camp so these guys we are offering are looking good against other 2 and 3 star guys. We need to do whatever it takes to get the big name recruits to camp. That's where it's all gonna start changing. That's how the University of Mississippi does it. Get them to come no matter what

I think it's what has been said on here. We're recruiting in the top 25 and we probably have a top 20-15 talent team, but unfortuneatly, that's good for the 5th most talented team, at best, in our own divisions. ACC or Big12 our talent profile would be top 3 every year.

Mullen doesn't go after prima donna 5 stars very often. He needs to, however. What we're really missing is about 2 more elite guys per class which is a really high 4 star or a 5 star guy. I think if we add an extra 2-3 of these elite guys per class, we'll be fine, especially on the D-line. Lashley was a huge miss That can't happen. Simmons is going to be a beast.

When you can get the elite guys, they will free up our other less talented, but still pretty talented, guys to make more plays and we'll look better as a unit.

Maybe the sanest recruiting post I've ever seen.

That's how the University of Mississippi does it.

No, they throw ridiculous amounts of cash around and don't care who knows evidently. That's what we need to do.....IF they skate on their current troubles, of course.

I thumbed down your post to troll you. Especially after reading your tweets (if that's you).

Yep thats me. Looks like you picked out the worse posts. I bet I could cherry pick somethings you have said that looks just the same bud. I might have gotten a little hot after seeing fitz run for 74 yards only to see holloway run twice up the middle on goaline. I do regret cussing a little too much but I was some kind of mad. And anyone on here that says they weren't cussing up a storm are lying. Dont be a communism bulldog, you can't say anything bad about the team or your not a true fan. As far as kylin hill, do you not think the recruits are looking at whats going on with the RB situation? If you were a big time recruit and you saw the crap we are seeing with Holloway, would you still come? Put the koolaid down. Mullen does so many things right but damn he sure gets in his own way sometimes.

And hey dont mess with my dog, that white ball of furry is a bulldog.

I'm experiencing lots of fontrum after reading your twitter feed. I almost always feel some when i read your posts on here, too.

I'd be willing to bet FSU, Clemson and ND

All have better talent pools than us. Louisville could be argued as well

Those are 3 teams ahead of us, which leaves us in 4th place if we have a better roster than Louisville. Not top 3, bud

Splitting hairs here, but you can't count ND in ACC football.

Not really splitting hairs when it would make us #3. I'm not really sold on Notre Dame's talent anyway they're always overhyped.


ETA: I would say you were spitballing

Using actual numbers(5 year average)
Outside of the SEC -- we are significantly outrecruited by:
FSU
Clemson
Ohio St
Michigan
Texas
UCLA
USC
Notre Dame

Nothing we -- or any coach in the country -- can do at MSU to jump into that category in the next 20 years. Thinking it can be done in the short term is ridiculous. It's believing in the Hugh Freeze facade. Those most wanting to travel that path are also the loudest about how hard OM is going to fall. It's irrational. The only way to get there -- is to do it so slowly over time -- that by the time you are actually there, everyone has forgotten there was a time we did not belong there.

We are within striking distance(but clearly behind) Oregon, Stanford, Miami, and Oklahoma.

We are prettymuch equal to Nebraska, Michigan St, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Penn St, Arizona St, Washington, Baylor.

We are notably ahead of every other team in the country. Yes -- we are #27 mean average over the past 5 years.

We do need to continue to improve on recruiting. And I've been critical of 2 of the last 3 classes -- especially the last one -- since we undersigned significantly against the 85. In reality, personnel usage is a bigger problem that recruiting -- outside of the one position group that is a dead horse.

I assume you're addressing me with the koolaid comment. It doesn't matter what I would do if I were a big time recruit, I think it's f*cking stupid as hell for our own fans to try to convince our biggest recruit he should look elsewhere. Call me crazy.

Now THAT would be friggin epic.

Don't let these guys keep a good man down. Keep doing what you're doing. We gotta be able to laugh at ourselves because everyone else is.
