We've had two middle of the road programs fighting each other - now that we can pay, MSU is out and we're like LSU...no in-state competition.
State has the #2 player from Mississippi signed and 6 of the top 25.
Runts have 5 of the top 25.
WTF are you trying to tell yourself?

Decades? Try half over half a century.
It's not underachieving at this point, it's who they are.

That's very very subjective.
Rankings tend to lean toward states with the highest fan engagement for the network sites. That was started by Jim Heckman, Bobby Burton and Jamie Newberg over 25 years ago and it remains the model to this day.
Shannon Terry has continued to feed into that.
That's another reason why Notre Dame always has highly rated classes even when those classes are basically 15-25 worthy.
I've also seen recruits go from two stars to four stars just by flipping their commitment from one program to another.
The HS rankings are highly subjective.
Camps, especially sponsored camps, rely heavily on 40 times, size, weighted scores and other tangibles ... but rarely on the intangibles. The Manning Camp might be the one exception to that.

Ole Petey, Petey couldn’t pull some of those defensive players to Ole Miss? Petey is a hell of a defensive coach and tireless recruiter. Why did you Einsteins not give the kids off Friday and tell them to go home? No power, no food and no way out. Nice leadership. No wonder Kiffin left.

Yes it does..why have Miss schools and North Carolina been so bad the past 50 years ...every other State has multiple natties. Why are you two so bad is the very obvious question.

1/2 the state - the Delta is functional retards - you have a kid who never had a weight program, went to practice or was coached. You start at square 1 with that type of kid. Holmes Central had more talent than anyone in 5A. Heildberg had more talent than anyone except Kemper County and none won a Championship. Those teams were absolutely loaded with no direction.

Now do that same stat over 15 years and not just 1 year

OM (and MSU) issue is that the state only has 2.9 mil ppl. Split that in 2 and it’s 1.45 mil. Maybe give slight edge to OM over MSU in recruiting, so an effective 1.7 mil.
LSU has 4.7 mil by itself. Both have similar nfl per capita, maybe slight edge to Louisiana.
In general, you can predict a team or program success based on the above: population, nfl per capita, and how many in state competition.
Doesn’t always work that way like Indiana, but it does have an effect. It’s why UGA is imo easiest job to have success in.

Split between 3 in state universities. Makes me wonder how places like Louisiana and Arkansas, that really have zero in state competition from other universities aren't winning the NC every other year.

Makes you think...
It only makes me think how irrelevant this is since every state's population differs.
Do it on a per capita basis of high school aged kids, then you have a starting point for discussion. Texas would not rank nearly as high, and my response would be the high percentage of hispanic.
But things like that don't occur to our dumbed down populace.

Every other year lol. You are smarter than that I’d hope. For one USM is not in the same league to be considered another in state university. If you include them might as well include ULL and Latech. For two the state of Arkansas does not have nearly the talent to support even one university to be championship caliber.

In what delusional, preppy, frat boy world are you like LSU?
The only time you were like LSU was when Johnny Vaught was there and Eisenhower was President.
Especially since 2000.
LSU 3 National Titles.. Ole Myth 0
LSU 5 SEC Titles. Ole Myth. 0
LSU 2 Heismans. Ole Myth 0 (actually none ever)
