Alabama has pulled a couple but it's a tired and stupid fallacy on here that MS' best players go elsewhere. Since Nutt and Mullen came around 08/09 the top players have stayed in Mississippi.

I think it was true before that, way before that, as part of OM's downturn in the 70's.

I remember in the 80's and 90's the Clarion Ledger and Jackson news stations would celebrate any Mississippi player that would sign with an out of state school.
