This is the second dumbest thing done at Mississippi State in the decade of the 2000s. Croom told Ndamukong Suh he couldnt play linebacker in the SEC. Suh's sister played soccer at MSU and his parents desperately wanted them both at the same school and they loved MSU. He went on to Nebraska and became a Hesiman finalist as a linebacker.
You were on a roll till the last paragraph. None of it is true except for Suh’s sister playing soccer at MSU.
He had an offer and they recruited him. They were just terrible recruiters… well along with everything else during the Croom era.

Disagree with you there. The football program was in shambles when Croom arrived. He had to completely gut it to build it back.
I will always love Coach Sherrill (he is my favorite) but he let the program get away from himself in 2002-2003.
So while the W-L record did not reflect it, he left foundation in place for CDM when he came in 2009. His recruiting was under rated as well. He left some talent in place and the 2009 class was essentially his.
The 2010 defense had a number of players go on to the NFL.
Croom gets bashed around unfairly IMO but he did some very good things with the football program and left it in much better shape than he found it.
