I'm confused why this recruit, who doesn't have an offers, got a card and no other recruits have (that we know of).

Yep... Love it too. I sure hope he continues to whoo the entire families of our recruits.

I wonder if you can personally contact parents--as in a call or home visit-- independent of seeing their kids? That would really make it interesting. The only problem with this is that the other schools will do it as well, and some of those coaches--Saban, Miles--have rock star status. Moms won't have a chance.

I don't understand why the author of this article seems so appalled. This is a single, hand-written note that addresses family on Mother's Day. Sending out 50 mass-printed pamphlets in 50 straight days is ridiculous, not directly and personally addressing the concerns of recruits and their families. This is an example of how it *should* be done.

Probably a fan of a rival fan base, but you're right. This is well done.

Question--why should OSU be considered 12 point favorites over us, and how did they get there? I checked recruiting rankings going back to 2009-2013, and we beat them every year but one, 2011 when they were ranked 23rd and we were 29th. So why should our team be worse than theirs? Tough SEC schedule that causes more injuries? Better crowd support? Coaching--HC and assistants? I don't get it.

Rhythmic clap for Dan. He has to find a way to connect better with families (mommas) of these recruits. With Mullen being a yankee, I think it's harder for him to do that. Families from the south just trust southern men more than they trust yankees. It's not his fault but it's something that might have held us back on landing some recruits in the past. This is a good sign that he is trying to change his tactics and I like it.

Anybody else find the player's name (Chase Johnson) to be a rather unfortunate circumstance? That was probably one of Drake and Zeke's bad baby names.

I saw other players tweet out about the Mothers Day card thing from Mullen (Chad Toliver comes to mind as another one) so I am sure numerous kids got them.
I agree on the tone of the guy writing this article. But I also took what he said with a grain of salt after he called an offensive lineman who is 6-4 and 260 as a "massive" offensive lineman. Guess he dont watch much SEC football.

I agree. Saban is a yankee and recruit well in the South, but he is an exception.

I love the "can of SWAG" letter. This is brilliant work by Mullen. It's unique and funny and it helps MSU stand out in the crowd.
