Per the twitters: Collins getting a raise
- Thread starter Jgbishop
- Start date
I think it was last weekend. I don't follow any recruits because I'm not creepy but I do follow Bonner and I did see him retweet all of our commits tweeting about how they were all hanging out in Starkville.
Can't expect the man to stay in 'Vegas every minute. It's 17ing middle earth. Same for Oxford and almost everywhere in the south.
Anyway, my understanding is that Mullen doesn't "recruit" players but is more or less an enforcer. Like any program. A guy on MSU's staff contacts you your junior year and builds a friendship and then they bring you in to meet Donald Trump in his corner office and he reaffirms how much of a difference you'd make. Of course he makes home visits, but I don't know how much that makes up a player's actual recruitment.
Kind of like "Come be a student at MSU! Look at what Dr. Keenum is doing! He's incredible! Meet an associate professor of biology on orientation!" Worked on me. Keenum is the ****.

Then I don't know why our recruits were tweeting about hanging out. Perhaps it was a "can't wait to hang out!" tweet. If that's the case, Mullen should have found a way to spend 30 minutes to hang out in his office when their coach brought them to his corner office to meet the HC for him to tell them how much we need them. That's what he's suppose to be good at. The closing speech. That's what we hear about from Rosebowl every year, about how each recruit is blown away with the speech Mullen gives them about how much we need them and how they're the piece we need to make it to ATLiens.
Last weekend was still the dead period. Everyone knows that only Ole Miss can have visitors during the dead period**
He's in Starkville. Someone said earlier that he was out eating with recruits, dak, and mckinney
You misread. Stricklin is not in Starkville. He is at a NCAA conference getting the spy equipment for Ole Miss's big recruiting weekend next weekend.
