Mississippi does not put out as many players in college or the NFL as other states do. And I have already acknowledged that the ones they do put out are of very high caliber. Now tell me where I am wrong.

You're comparing Mississippi to states with populations ranging from nearly 5 million to 30 million. MS has 2.9 million and is mostly scouted over, even though they continue to miss on prospects. There are five areas of the state that are scouted, i.e. metro Jackson, Golden Triangle, coast, pinebelt, and south Memphis. After that it's a wash, and kids end up with a default rating.

And with juco prospects it's even worse. This despite MS having the best juco football system in the country.

You’re arguing something different than him. He’s talking total blue chip recruits and you’re trying to make this per capita and NFL players. Y’all are just going to continue to go in circles on this.

Crap dude. Isn't that exactly what I said?

Do you know what RIF means. It is a term that was used back in the 70's. Reading Is Fundamental.

I plainly said that Mississippi does not put out the big numbers that other states do. I also said that there were a number of factors, one being population.
I also said for the number of recruits they put out they are of very high quality.

And all you want to do is argue with me, then repeat exactly what I have been saying?

Dude.
