And the fans really need to step up big to make him feel wanted, cause we need him bad. Everybody plays a part in recruiting, just ask Ohio state how they got pryor away from Penn state.
but for the one of the questions they ask on the dawgzillatron they could put something along the lines of:
Where should Cameron Newton committ?
A.Mississippi State University
then b-c the other schools he has listed.
The only problem the ole miss fans might mess that up and vote for the other.

It all goes back to October 16, 2004. Nebraska was playing Baylor, fresh off of a sixty point loss to Texas Tech. The Huskers bounced back from that horrible loss by committing to the running game, as they combined 41 runs with only 20 passes. The commitment to running the ball opened up the passing game, as Joe Dailey had his finest day as a Husker, completing 13 passes for 342 yards and five touchdowns.</p>
I thought Bill Callahan had turned a corner and had finally decided to commit to a running game instead of forcing a West Coast passing offense on a program renowned for power football.</p>
I was wrong. You see, there was another reason for the Huskers running the ball that day. During the game, the student section started chanting "Mar! Lon! Luck-E! (clap, clap, clapclapclap)"...which meant nothing to me at that time. Soon after the game, I learned that Marlon Lucky was a "Five Star" running back visiting that day from California. When he committed to the Huskers a few weeks later, he was being compared to Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson. He, along with quarterback Harrison Beck, were going to be the crown jewels of Bill Callahan's first recruiting class.</p>

the fans need to get involved in recruiting. Chanting a recruit's name at a game may seem cheesy, but it happens all the time. They do it quite often at ACC basketball games. At mississippi, the word is spread about where the recruits will be during the weekend and everyone is invited to attend and rub elbows with the recruits. At this point, i'm all for trying anything.
Foronce said:
that having Three Dog Night unplugged and lip syncing at the spring game is a bad idea to?
......to MSU is the high level of talent we need for true competition at the QB position. I'm not about to annoint him a savior, especially since we've seen what can happen with overhyped juco quarterbacks at certain other institutions. But getting Newton is huge because he and Russell can battle it out, and that only makes us better under center no matter who gets the starting job.
Everybody loves to use the Brent Shaffa example but why ignore the successes? Tim Rattay was a JUCO QB before playing at La Tech. Brad Banks played in THIS STATE before almost winning the Heisman. Josh Heupel had a good run at Oklahoma, and Jeremiah Masoli is tearing **** up at Oregon this year. If Newton commits to MSU and gives us half the production of any of those guys, he'll shatter every record in our puny record book.
