and assign one coach to only recruit their committs. That's his only job. To get OM kids to flip. Next time they will think twice about trying to get our #1. I'm so 17ing sick of that school.

He needs to focus on beating them

The rest will handle itself. Freeze is a good recruiter, but a lot of things fell perfectly into place for him this year.

He needs to strictly adhere to his policy of never, ever allowing a commit to visit another school, especially OM. If he had done so this year, he wouldn't be in the pickle in which he finds himself now. I assure you he is kicking himself for allowing a certain commit to make a visit to TSUN.

Be realistic, Mullen doesn't control these guys...

He needs to strictly adhere to his policy of never, ever allowing a commit to visit another school, especially OM. If he had done so this year, he wouldn't be in the pickle in which he finds himself now. I assure you he is kicking himself for allowing a certain commit to make a visit to TSUN.
at best you can encourage them not to visit other places if they are truly committed but you can't stop them.. Now less in demand guys I guess you could threaten to pull their scholly but you aren't going to do that with the 4 and 5 star type guys.

Usually I'd agree with this outlook but he's got a pest in his house and ignoring the pest isn't working.

Not sure how you'd pull that off. He can't stay with the guy 24 hours a day, and even if he could he wouldn't really have any control over him, other than withdrawing the offer.

He never ignored them, in fact he pretty much declared war on them

as soon as he got here, which is part of the reason things are so heated right now. Like I said, we need to focus on building up ourselves.

Seems to me as though

MSU has gotten more of the recruits we've gone head to head on than Ole Miss has. I know Ole Miss really wanted Shumpert, Cox, and Jones. MSU wanted Moore, but past that I'm not sure if you offered and really pursued anyone else on our list, maybe Bouldin, but I don't think so. We might get Conner (although I know Bama feels good about him), but it wouldn't be unusual for Ole Miss to beat MSU for a player from South Panola.

So the absolute worst-case scenario for MSU is Jones flips and we get Conner: then MSU gets 2 and Ole Miss gets 3 of the 5 we really went head to head for. More than likely MSU is going to get 3 and we are going to get 1 or 2. I don't see why that would necessitate some holy war against Ole Miss and/or Freeze. Am I missing something here?

Opie, did Mullen have a choice? How can you forbid a kid from taking a visit with another school?

I think people are putting a lot of weight in Chris Jones... as they should. He's a cornerstone type player and I hope like hell we get hiim.

The way Ole Miss has been the last month with Chris Jones has fueled an all-time hate for that school. They have crossed the line with this one.

Crossed the line? Did someone insult your family? It's 17ing recruiting, for God's sake. Get a 17ing grip.

Thank you. There are 12 other teams in the SEC that we should gauge ourselves other than them as well as about 120 nationwide. Some people simply don't look beyond the horizon. Some State fans view everything in light of what OM does...it's sad.

Disagree. If he does that, he's sending a message to the player that he (Mullen) operates from the standpoint of fear rather than confidence.

+1. Regardless if we land him or not, its on. Our GOBs are not happy with their GOBs. I expect there will be several joint vacations canceled on Wednesday. And dont ask a Mustard Buzzard to go to the beach with ya. They are pissed at us.

Dude Mullen is going to recruit players for what we are trying to accomplish

and assign one coach to only recruit their committs. That's his only job. To get OM kids to flip. Next time they will think twice about trying to get our #1. I'm so 17ing sick of that school.

here at MSU. I would be pissed if Mullen just targeted recruits because Ole Miss was on them. I would much rather Mullen take care of this on the field and stop taking 17ing knees and run it up their ***.
