I don't agree. We've gotten several baseball players to come to MSU- heck we have three on the team right now- Hardy, Parks, and DeLoach, not to mention Brad Hutto and Mark Muzzi.
We also have a couple of players who are walk-ons in football- Mark Brown and another LB who's name escapes me right now, and then we also had Cody Upton a few years ago.
Oh and how can anyone forget Joe Iupe for basketball?
And as far as USM, they signed one of MC's LB's- Will Martin, and they also have gotten Rod Thomas a DB and another player from the 99 MC team whos name escapes me as well.
There are plenty of State people in Madison.
And for what it's worth, we also signed Trevor Stiggers from Ridgeland HS, which is the school district that Xena lives in now.
I discussed this with another poster on here from Madison. Croom just didn't even try to recruit MC. I think it was because of everything that went to down. That is another thing that is unexcusable- just quitting like that because of some rogue booster. And no, MC didn't have a lot of exceptional talent in the past few years other than Chaz Ramsey, but I still think you have to keep the lines of communication open.
