a top 10 class at the END of the cycle I will admit Mullen doesnt have IT


This won't happen. Let me tell you a story about the recruitment of AJ Brown.

Brown will be a top 10 pick at WR next year, he is from Starkville but went to Ole Miss. He grew up a State fan and from what I have been told wanted to go to MSU. He ended up Ole Miss because they actually tried to recruit him.

Mullen assumed he would just come to MSU like other Starkville kids and did not put a lot of effort into Brown. In swoops Ole Miss who actually tried to recruit and that is how they ended up with him.

Same thing happened that cycle with Scott Lashley a 4* OL from nearby West Point. Heavsey did not really try and just assumed he would come to MSU.

State fans praised Mullen for his game management and offensive playcalling. It was great and did a great job developing players and QBs. However State fans have never praised him for recruiting, ever.

He is a lazy recruiter and despite being in Starkville, Moorhead is having no problems attracting out-of-state high level talent.

I dont think he has been lazy at all. He may not be a great recruiter (remains to be seen) but he has been putting in work.

Let me tell you about a school that ranked near or dead last in facilities (when he arrived), education and prestige.

A school that is dead last in win % (in spite of Mullen's 8 win a year average). Source. Academic Source (You're 13th here, but 14th for ESPN

If it wasn't for Mullen's recruiting and capacity as a Head Coach, Moorehead wouldn't have dick -- then you compound that with Ole Miss not being able to recruit like it had been because they're under sanction.

Instead of talking incessant non-stop shite about Mullen, why don't you look at how he built you guys from the ground up and how Ole Miss has taken themselves out of the race for most good players?

Moorehead's lucky as frick that he's going to take an upperclass laden team with new facilities and his #1 in state rival is on sanctions.

So of course he looks lazy, what is he selling at MSU? Their educational prowess? Their rich tradition of never winning jack shite? Their subpar facilities (until Stricklin and Mullen fixed that problem)? Get the frick out of here with this nonsense.
