re: Why wasn't MSU or OM in play for Marcus Dupree?

Well Jerry Rice one of the best to ever play and he went to the WAC. Brett Favre went to USM etc etc. It happens and like Dan Mullen said "If you look around the state of Mississippi you can find jewels that get overlooked. We try to find those guys and evaluate. You look how many went on to play in the NFL and you realize how much hidden talent there is in this state."
