Easy answer: Because they sucked at football while OU under Switzer was equivalent to the Pete Carroll USC teams. OU was always among the top two or three teams in the country and was a perennial national championship contender led by a charismatic and very likeable coach. Why would any top recruit pick Ole Miss or Mississippi State over those guys?

I'm speaking specifically on the Mississippi schools. Of course the top teams in the country will be in play. But why USM over Ole Miss/Mississippi State. Seems both MSU and OM would be in bigger play than USM.

People today joke about the wishbone but if you've got a quarterback who's willing to play with abandon and sell the keeper every time, its devastating. Bone QBs take a beating though, I wouldn't my kid playing for a wishbone coach.
