it's almost like JWS was right: go for the 2, 3 and 4 star players and ignore the 5-stars and the baggage they bring to the table.
We donāt ignore the 5 stars. We donāt land them. That strategy worked when you didnāt have scouting services and the big boys didnāt bother to come watch players in Nowhereville, MS.
Now that unranked or lower 3 star guy that chooses MSU over South Alabama, Memphis, or Mississippi Southern is just going to leave for a blue blood when he blows up here. This has nothing to do with 5 star baggage. You have given every D1 athlete the opportunity to go wherever the hell they want each and every year. Thatās 4 or 5 years of crootin visits, swag, special treatment, attention and ego massage. Of course a lot of these guys are going to jump ship on a whim
