Well...this is interesting.

[ababyatemydingo]

Long story short. Mullen couldn’t be bothered to personally show up to an in-home with AJ. Sent Billy G and had Billy G put Mullen on speakerphone. AJ got up and left the room, he was so disgusted that Mullen couldn’t be bothered to show up himself.

SHOCKING. Said no one.

Prolly had a marathon to train for.

 

[patdog]

I wouldn't take anything AJ Brown said as the absolute gospel truth.

 

[Digging dog]

Prolly should have let Heavesy handle it*

 

[paindonthurt_]

Very well might be true but he wasn’t coming here and BUGS was pimping him.

Might also be why Mullen wouldn’t go WHICH IS NO EXCUSE.

 

[campshelbydog842003]

Per Paul Jones, Mullen wanted to save his in home visit for later in the process. If Freeze was visiting him multiple times he was cheating.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

AJ is lying piece of ****. AJ and his dad no-showed IB twice for meetings scheduled to talk about baseball. I’ve heard IB make that statement.

If you read the article, the in-home that AJ is referring to (where he sent Billy Gonzalez) was the night before signing day. Can’t wait much longer in the process than that. Mullen never used his in-home with AJ. According to AJ

I don’t disagree. Was just giving a synopsis of the article.

 

[Dawgtruc]

17 aj He will leave OM having never having a winning season, much less a bowl game. Probably didn't care about bowl swag, based on what he was paid and what he's making from whatever deal he made with pro baseball.

Sorry, didn’t read the article. Just telling you what was told by the folks at 247.

 

[dannyripms]

I said it a long time ago. If Moorhead was the coach AJ would be a bulldog. Personally i dont blame AJ to not want to play for that prick if he didnt have desire to even come see me personally.

 

[L4Dawg]

We were never going to get AJ Brown. I knew that his JR year in HS. There are a lot of things you can go after Mullen on, but this isn't one of them.

 

[Drebin]

AJ was never coming to State. It doesn't matter who the coach was. That's probably why Mullen didn't show up....he knew the deal. I probably would have done the same thing.

 

[anon1787432961]

There was a last minute opp for many to counter offer. Declined.

 

[Puppychow]

AJ Brown is probably thanking his lucky stars he chose OleMiss over us. NFL draft slots are numbers driven. The NFL could care less how many wins or bowl games a player has. They care about individual performance. We are a running school and Ole miss is a passing school. No way he racks up 2500 career yards and a first round draft spot playing at State. Those are just the facts. Until we start attracting passing QBs and throw the ball, we’ll struggle to get top WR recruits.

The NFL will find you if you are that talented.

Eric Moulds

 

[Puppychow]

Eric Moulds had a QB who could get him the ball. So he had great numbers for the 1996 draft. We haven’t had a WR drafted since then. It’s been 22 years and counting. Kids want to get to the NFL and will choose the school with the best track record.

[fishwater99]

If Mullen didn't even try, then that's pretty damn bad, and just proves how lazy he was at recruiting.

17em Both..

 

[paindonthurt_]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

 

[paindonthurt_]

Do you even know who that QB was?

 

[AlCoDog]

Eric Moulds had a QB who could get him the ball.

What was his name?

 

[Drebin]

You talking about Derrick Taite?

My favorite cheer as a student....

dummmmm dum dum dummmmmmmmm..........No!.........Taite! NoTaite!

For real. If you weren't around in those days you have no idea what a QB controversy really is, from race issues to fighting over women. It went from wanting to start Taite in 1993 to wanting to bench him in 1995 and 1996.

Funny thing is, it usually was never really the QB, it was mainly the OL that determined success or failure. I always thought Todd Jordan got a raw deal. He threw a few bombs to Moulds that were perfection. I swore Fred McCrary was dropping his passes on purpose too.

I always thought Jordan was a better QB. He was a helluva punter too.

Derrick Taite and Greg Plump.....terrible QBs.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

Take this for what it's worth..
That signing day was my senior year of college. I volunteered and was involved at a youth program at one of local churches in Starkville. Weeks leading up to signing day, one of the HS students told me AJ wasn't coming to State. When I asked why, he said that it was a bidding war between OM and Bama. He told me that there was no way we were getting him.

 

[Go Budaw]

100% truth. Bama really lost out on a good one.

 

[BiscuitEater]

What's really shocking is that ANYONE would believe ANYTHING that A.J. 'said.' Mullet may have been lazy BUT he wasn't stupid.

 

[DawgInThe256]

Sorry, I read the paragraph with "The campus' old-school Georgian architecture gives off a stately presence" and threw up before I finished it.

 

[RocketDawg]

I don't recall anybody from MSU or any other university visiting in my home when I was deciding where to go to school.

You didn’t run a 4.3, either. Presuming. Lol

 

[Puppychow]

Yep, know Derrick Taite very well. Hosted him on his official visit to State. Went to the same high school. Umpired his little league baseball games. Caught passes from him in practice during his redshirt year in 92. And Todd Jordan was my road game roommate. Caught a TD pass from him in 91. Taite was the better passer (or had a better line). Taite was pretty successful until his senior year. So yeah I know who the QB was.

 

[Shmuley]

Did they make horse drawn in-home visits back then?

 

[Puppychow]

Derrick Taite. The same guy who held several passing marks at State.

 

[paindonthurt_]

I’ll let you look up Taites stats and compare to fits’ stats.
Taite to moulds is much less than fitz to potentially AJ Brown.

 

[HD6]

He visited Kobe Jones enough to sign him.
