It seemed his philosophy was to try to get your share of in state guys and then take a chance on some academically questionable big time recruits from Georgia or Florida.
I really don't have a good answer other than the top prospects wouldn't consider us with offers from Texas, aTm, LSU, etc. The caliber of recruit we COULD get from Texas we can just get here in MS or AL. 95% of all our recruits come from MS, AL, LA, GA, FL.
Chizik and staff came in and believed AU was good enough to recruit anyone from anyhwere. Lot's of people doubted that at the time, but they don't anymore.

I'd say a good half of our roster is from OOS.

Ole Miss has always gotten out of state kids. Mullen is the one that is hell bent on locking down the state. But this year it seems to be working. We could have one of our top classes ever. Maybe the best. I don't know what our best is.

State doesnt' have the money to spend like the bigger programs on recruiting. I wish we had the money to spend on "recruiting" service like Willie Lyles.

Ole Miss did when they hired Ed Orgeron.
