Chris Jones #46 overall by ESPN http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/playerrankings/_/class/2013/order/true
Vernon Goodridge #38 overall by Scout http://mississippistate.scout.com/a.z?s=136&p=9&c=4&cfg=bb&pid=88&yr=2005
John Riek I can't find listed anywhere in the top 100 and that was before he destroyed his knees
the other three, Ellis, Outlaw and Bender do not help your argument. All three of those players never played a second of basketball for MSU and actually hurt us that following year or what would of been their freshman season by leaving us hanging in the dust. All that time, money and effort wasted on no return and hurting our depth for the next season without that roster spot being adequately filled by a decent player that would of contributed depth at the bare minimum. I'd love to have Newman but we don't have a successful track record with top 5 overall recruits. You can't dispute that. Wasting all our time chasing stars and not filling needed open roster spots with decent players that will help us right away is a mistake. Y'all losing your wad over 24/7 saying there's a "chance" is ridiculous.
