Everyone was surprised by Brassell committing to us. We all thought we were in the bottom of his top 3, and now it seems we are the team to beat. Mullen is recruiting this state with relentless effort. He is opening doors and getting top players from the top schools in the state. Last year he got two from both Oak Grove and Olive Branch, and this year we stand a chance to get two from both South Panola and Madison Central. You have to respect Mullen's drive. He's not going to put up with Ole Miss controlling these schools. He will settle things with them in late November. I hope he makes Ole Miss feel how we felt after our 4-8 season and 45-0 *** beating.
