"When you bring kids in on game day weekends, you have to really hope that your players can be your best recruiters," Mississippi State assistant recruiting coordinator Niel Stopczynski said. "The team is doing a lot of recruiting for you, because you don't have a whole lot of time to sit around and talk to the recruit and his family. Recruits that come in on game weekends might be lucky to get only an hour or two with your head coach, but when you bring them in January or December, you can ensure big blocks of time with your coaches. That's why we always push later visits.

So our coaches want the kids to recruit for them? Lazy sons of bitches!!!****

I still cannot understand for the life of me why any prized recruit would even have ole miss as one of their potential visits let alone being commited to that school right now. Like someone on here said on another post watch us and ole miss wind up being pretty close on the final recruiting rankings. Wouldn't suprise me one bit.

I don't think it will happen this year. I, like you, have been skeptical of what will really happen to them, but at this point, it's fair to say they really are being negatively affected. We are 27 and they are 50. I can't imagine they'll end up neck and neck this time.

2015 is a good example when we closed strong and they sort of stumbled to the finish line, and they still finished 17 while we were 18. That's with Freeze and Co at the peak of their game. I don't think it will happen like that now.

The more disappointing thing, to me, is not Ole Miss. It's the fact that the guys who would have gone to Ole Miss, are all now going out of state. So MSU hasn't benefited at all, except for a weaker in-state competitor, which I suppose is good.
