RedStar gives great information with those lists. The state of Mississippi is different from every other state. Most often the top talent busts while the lower tier players are the ones that have a solid NFL career.
In response to several posts about Youngblood questioning CNS: I don't think he is. I think he's just asking if Bama would benefit from looking elsewhere when getting a top player out of SPHS seems more difficult than finding Gene Chizik's teeth. Yes, Bama's presence in SP causes Ole Miss and/or MSU to work harder to get those recruits, but is that what Alabama should be doing? Should Alabama really recruit a place just to make Ole Miss and MSU - two middle of the pack SEC teams - work harder?
