State already enrolls more intelligent students already....
The rise of The Mississippi State shows the moral and spiritual superiority of OUR School over the university of ole miss. Both David Cutcliffe and Ed Orgeron were failures there, but are now wildly successful at Duke (first 9 win season in 70 years) and USC respectively. They also drove another successful coach, Houston Nutt, out of coaching. Now they're about to circle the drain with another potentially good coach in Hugh Freeze.
Another thing is- what did they have to promise the freshmens to go there? 4 and 5-* players don't go to a Sun Belt-level program without exacting some price. For example, their best player Donte Moncrief had a sub-par (for his standards) season because Freeze kept on trying to get the ball to LaQuon Treadwell. Moncrief will be a huge star in the NFL, but because the moral and spiritual inferiority of Ole Miss, they decided to not feed him- the other night, he looked more hungry than an Ethiopian famine victim.
And Renardo Nkiemdeche running the football? Why didn't the coaches simply tell him the first day, to just shut up and do what he's told? This class is the MSU 1999 recruiting class on steroids.
