It is to the point where if I see a guy from South Panola on one of our recruiting lists on rivals or scout I just write that player off. We don't offer those guys and most don't qualify.

That's just dumb then. We have had a ton of SP players be successful at OM in the last decade and go on to be damn good players in the NFL.

2002
Chris Herring – went Juco, then to Southern Arkansas.

2004
Reterio Brown – redshirted, never played a game
Peria Jerry – 1st round pick to the Falcons
JaMarca Sanford – 7th round pick to the Vikings

2005
John Jerry – 3rd round pick to Miami
Travis Sanford – Didn’t qualify

2007
Chris Strong – One year, quit the team
LeRoy Diggs – Went to Juco

2008
Darius Barksdale- Left Ole Miss after first spring. Then to Jacksonville State

2010
Nicholas Parker – redshirted in 2010, didn’t play in 2011.

2011
Nickolas Brassell – Played as true freshman but in academic trouble.

Y'all got some guys who did pan out (3 NFL players), but there are a lot more who didn't. That's not a good percentage. Why would we waste our resources on South Panola guys who probably won't make it?

Heck, even some of the guys who DID make it (like Perry and Jerry) had to go the long route to make it to Ole Miss and barely did. Perry was almost another academic casualty.
