I think there may have been some booster stuff going on early in the process, but, ultimately, our D-line is stacked and we lose no one, and Tennessee just had 450 rushing yards put on them by Auburn and lose 6-7 players at his position.
SO.... would you rather go to Starkville and redshirt, or go to Knoxville and play?
When it comes to MSU, I don't get upset when we lose OUT OF STATE recruits at the following positions: RB, LB, and DL. These are the threw positions the state of MS produces better than any other.
In state recruits at these positions are a different story. We have to get those guys.
