- With the shortest distance per player on the roster and easily the shortest per player for the 2014 class, is Mississippi State staying too close to home to attract talent? The Bulldogs are one of only four SEC teams that drew their most recent recruiting class come from a smaller radius than their current roster. This is the first time in four years Mississippi State saw a decline in the average distance of recruit's hometowns from Starkville. The Bulldogs also signed their lowest-rated class in four years, according to a composite ranking of Rivals.com, Scout.com and247Sports.com.
I don't have any issue with this.
