re: State #37 on Rivals Right Now

How is MSU, coming off of a banner year, performing this poorly in recruiting. I know I am beating a dead horse, but is Mullen that bad of a recruiter that he cannot turn the program's momentum into at least a Top 25 recruiting class

no way to judge this right now. Let signing day happen first, then wait 3 years.

We just had a shitty decade of football- our worst since the awful 1960's. You will see our classes improve Star-wise after we win another 9-10 games in 2011.

But star numbers are over-rated once you get out of the top 10. Our classes have been constantly 10th-11th in the SEC, yet we finished 5th in the SEC in 2010 (we were better than SC). Rutgers has had higher recruiting classes- anybody want to take Rutgers to beat us right now? Every player in our backfield was a 2-star coming out- we finished 2nd in the SEC in rushing.

2007 and 2008- Mississippi's recruiting classes were 27th and 29th, ours was 39th and 44th- would you take their team over ours right now?

Rankings are overblown for schools outside the Top 10- its what you do with the ones you get and how they develop.
