Recruiting class could be better than expected...

Quotes from Bumphis and Patterson per Veazey's blog.

"I was very excited when I found out the news," Bumphis said. "Coach Mullen was the one recruiting me at Florida, so we already have a close relationship. This definitely changes my thoughts on Mississippi State."

"Since they got a new head coach in and he ran the spread offense a lot, I'm going to give him a good look," Patterson said. "It makes me think maybe I could go there. The way he ran things at Florida makes me think maybe I could fit in with their offense.

"When guys heard today that the new coach was coming, some players were thinking about going back (and committing to MSU again), then some other people were thinking about coming."

If he pulls those in, that will be completely ridiculous. Of course, none of those are O-Linemen, but still.

The OL from Olive Branch, Aubrey Phillips? is apparently interested too, and Emmanuel McCray is still interested.

I don't normally get into recruiting but getting Bumphis and Russel to go in Mullen's offense could lead to something we have never seen at MSU.............a real offense.

I think he will pull him some special classes of his own in the future.

I am sure that was just his way of communicating to all the Mississippi players that will listening/reading his statements. I know he realizes he will have to work just as hard out-of-state.
