Croom should get a pass on 2004. Few people recruit good the year of changing coaches and he had a very late start at it.

He forfeited his pass when he chose to stay in Green Bay for 6 more weeks. The bottom line on those early classes is that he was completely unprepared for the nature of modern football recruiting.

the first classes of Les Miles and Urban Meyer ranked 22nd and 15th, respectively. Nick Saban's 2007ranked 10th. Houston Nutt's 2008 class ranked 29th. Bobby Petrino's first class ranked 36th. Croom's first class was 62nd. Do you think the new coach at Tennessee will rank that low?

Is there anything about sports you do know?

if you think it's any harder to call a recruit from Green Bay than from Starkville, then you = idiot. I've bashed the hell out of Crxxm the past 3 years, but the fact is he was pulling 80+ hour weeks working for both MSU and Green Bay that month. If I'd had my complete way about it, he'd have come to Starkville full-time immediately, but working for both MSU and Green Bay for a month didn't really have any significant impact on Crxxm's results at MSU.

that he will never have the energy level, the savvy, the desire - everything that it takes these days to recruit effectively - to compete with the coaches in our neighborhood for the level of talent that Croom will HAVE to have around him to overcome his ****** game coaching ability [clock mismanagement, complete failure to make halftime adjustments].

The Hat is a classic example of how superior talent can overcome coaching stupidity. As his talent dwindles, his coaching stupidity shows through more clearly.

Antonio Johnson has spent time on an NFL roster and you have to think Bowman, A.J., and Pegues will all get shots at the league. Hell, someone said Louis Ellis has a shot at being a sleeper in the draft yesterday.

The problem is that so many guys that just didn't qualify or didn't show up (Ellis). Mix in Carpenter and Big Calvin who we thought would be anchoring the line this year that just didn't pan out. The bad signs were Ty Evans and Jarvis Kyles are really the only awful signs. And we know why we signed Jarvis.

All you want to look at is the making calls part of it- and you're right, he can call from anywhere BUT:

How bout getting to Starkville and getting organized?
How bout getting to Starkville and breaking down recruiting day after day to try and capitalize on all the publicity?
How about working tirelessly to organize a solid staff that can help you evaluate recruits?
How was he able to spend 12 hours a day wayching film on recruits from Green Bay?

Those are the reasons staying in GB hurt him

At least that was a weak spot for both.

That is the main reason I like Nutt, because he brought Markulson who is able to recruit OL and turn out good OL year after year. At least he did at Arkansas, and our OL has improved tremendously from the first game.

That's amazing to look at, I'd say he batted under .200 in 04, going 4 for 21. He improved in 05, going around 11 for 29.
And that's guys who turned out to be decent players and also stayed throughout their jr and sr seasons and started in those years.</p>

i don't know that your comparisons are all valid. miles's first class at lsu was only one year removed from a national title, and i'm sure some of those were saban's recruits whom he was able to hold onto. while zook struggled at florida in the wins column, he was bringing in talent and the national recognition of both florida and urban meyer can't be matched with state/croom. same can be said about saban - one year removed from a 10 win season, big name coach, big name program.

the nutt and petrino comparisons are the most applicable, i think. had croom capitalized on the free publicity of his hire, and really worked his butt off (provided he actually had a clue what he was doing), then he could've been much better than 62. being an sec team in itself should be able to pull a top 40 ranking.

which brings up another point. when you make a late hire, you essentially forfeit a year of recruiting, if you hire someone who has not recruited in over 20 years. there's obviously going to be a learning curve. couple that with the learning curve of your first head coaching gig, and you're in the sec, and you stay in green bay for six weeks, and it's a recipe for disaster. in hiring croom, we actually took steps backward before trying to start in the right direction.

that's why schools in the SEC have hired, for the most part, SUCCESSFUL HEAD COACHES. saban, tuberville, miles, petrino, nutt. hell, we're the only school in the sec west with a coach who had no prior head coaching experience upon arrival.

He said he was used to the old way when you offer a senior and get a player. He said these days you have to recruit sophomores and juniors and evaluate earlier. Looks like he learned his lesson with the current class. A lot of solid players that hopefully will stick around. No superstars though Tyler Russell might end up being better than advertised. (at least i hope!)

How high do you think Nutt's 2008 class would have ranked if the program was under probation?

I can't bust Croom's balls too much for 2004. The rest, I agree with emphatically.

Please refresh us on this. Did he really not sign all the scholarships he had one year?

Please tell me this did not happen.

And at least once while on probation. If I wasn't at work, I might try looking it all up. But I recall being appalled when it occurred.

...that 2004 recruiting class had a lot of players who played a major role in going 8-5 & winning a bowl in 2007.

Sorry to sabotage the intent of the thread by bringing that up, but correct me if I'm wrong.

That is unforgivable and no talk of bare cupboards and LOSS OF SCHOLARSHIPS should be allowed when discussing this staff's take over nor should there be allowed talk of no talent etc. if we are not willing to sign every single scholarship.

Titus - major role.
Carlson - one big kick. Not a major role.
O'Neal - decent career. I'll stretch it and give him a major role though he could have been replaced by Hughes with no dropoff.
Bobo - Serviceable when healthy.
Strauder - a starter on the Oline but far from the anchor.
The rest of them - almost nothing.

Sorry to sabotage your attempt to rain on the pity party.

...you can't list 5 significant players & think that makes your case (& I'm dropping the worthless Carlson & adding Littlejohn to get to my five).

The 2004 recruiting class had a direct affect on MSU going 8-5 in 2007 whether you like it or not. It's just a fact.

Because I sure don't think you want to go down the road where you attribute 2007's record to Croom's coaching.</p>

he listed the only 5 players that played a role, only 7 of the 23 signees were even on the roster last year.

Strauder
Brown
O'Neal
Carlson
Glanton
Henig
Littlejohn

So no, the 2004 did NOT play a significant role, unless you count 4 starters out of 24 (11 O, 11 D, 2 ST) significant.

Edited because I left off Mario Bobo. Couldn't have won seven games without his 1.5 tackles per.

Stick to replying to baseball threads and leave the football and basketball threads to people that might have a shred of a clue what they are talking about. Your football knowledge is, as always, embarassing.
