those recruiting classes are paying off for ole miss too, last week they mentioned ole miss was 5-0 for the first time since 1962, who would of thought two mississippi teams would be in the top 5
But those recruiting rankings don't matter tho.............
I say this if u get a top 3 recruiting class u gonna make a move but when u sit at 9-15 u won't do **** unless u have a major developer and talent evaluator which we don't.
So, I just looked at the 247 recruiting rankings for Ole Miss and Mississippi State since 2010, and they certainly not anywhere near top 3 or 9-15 range when averaged out:
Ole Miss
2014 - 15
2013 - 8
2012 - 47
2011 -20
2010 -22
Mississippi State
2014 - 35
2013 - 25
2012 - 22
2011 - 34
2010 - 34
Pretty interesting numbers. Sure, a team must have a minimum amount of talent to be successful but good coaching is what takes a team to the next level. Point being, Miami has more than enough talent to win big but poor coaching is causing Miami to lose.
Although I agree good coaching staffs and better recruiting for ole miss recently is why they r up. There should be separate rankings along the DLiNE and online would love to see that. Miami interior DLiNE recruiting has been *** for ten years and the coaching has been *** too. U look at ole miss and that DLiNE changed with number five as soon as he got there. We need hogs on both sides it's what Butch did and he made the blue print everyone copies. Not everyone the sec copies.
MISS and MISS ST have recruited DOGS on the dline....theyve been helped by their little *** state actually p[roducing some dl beasts.
Not just #5 EITHER...Ive been watching their dl lasses the last 3 years....Miss State has some dogs up front as well..both schools have beat out Bama for dl recruits.
Here are the defensive line star ranks, broken down by DT and DE, for each school as based upon 247 composite rankings:
Ole Miss
2011 - DT 3*, 3* - DE 3*
2012 - DT None - DE 5*, 4*
2013 - DT 4*, 3* - DE 5*, NR
2014 - DT 4*, 3* - DE 4*, 3*, 3*
Miss. State
2011 - DT 4*, NR - DE 4*,2*, 2*
2012 - DT 4*, 4*,3* - DE 4*,3*,3*,3*,3*
2013 - DT None - DE 5*,3*
2014 - DT 3* - DE 3*,3*,3*
Nothing earth shattering here. Certainly not some amazing amount of better talent than say Miami, outside of the quantity of DTs recruited. The difference is that these two defenses ATTACK with their scheme as opposed to what Miami does.
