it's all about momentum. When you have it at state, you have to take advantage or your screwed.

I think this is true at both of the Mississippi schools.

very true and momentum at one school has an opposite effect on the other. Mullen may have won some of the Mississippi recruiting battles against Nutt, but for any MS school to be successful, they will have to more than win the state battle for recruits but also find good out of state players. OM does a better job of going out of state. The also can't let LSU and Alabama cherry pick the 4 and 5 stars from the state.

SCar's recent success has a lot to do w/ keeping the best players instate. We used to lose the Boulwares to FSU, Carlos Dunlap to UF, Albert Haynesworth to UT, Steven Davis to Auburn, and countless players like the Geathers and A.J. Green to UGa. Keeping players like Clowney, Gillmore, Lattimore, and Jeffery have had a huge impact.... not only because they're on our team, but just as must that they aren't playing for our opponents.
