This goes directly to the Head Coach's feet. No matter how good of an offensive guru he is, if he cannot get quality defenders to commit and stay committed, he is setting himself and the program up for long-term failure. A recruit can't find a better place to get immediate playing time on defense than at Mississippi State! 11 new guys could start for our defense next year. To be de-committing now, speaks volumes!

Lebby is thinking ahead and banking on the NCAA to pass the rule being debated for next year. The “Make It Take It” rule is expected to pass after the season at the next rules committee meeting. Essentially if the offense scores a touchdown or a field goal, their same team gets to receive a kickoff and retain possession of the ball again.

Did anyone not expect some decommits? Especially on defense. Would you want to play for Hutzler? My biggest complaint about Lebby so far is he just doesn’t seem to give a sh*t about defense. Starting with his DC hire.

This may not even be on the coaches. if we just can’t muster the cash to match other schools and we are sitting around waiting for revenue sharing to get in the game what can the hustler do ?

True. We're not going to win many recruiting battles with those schools.

Joe Lee Dunn’s defense allowed a lot of dummy’s to play in the SEC at the highest level, because it didn’t require them to think. That was one thing his niche defense brought for us. Other words we need to find a defense that allows for us to get the athletic dummys no one else wants to pay big money for. Again, when you run a vanilla common scheme, then expect to constantly be outbid by the bigger money schools.
