Oh I agree with you. I don't expect Nick to give up on anyone anywhere that he wants.Right, so you don't give up big areas near you. You check grades and watch film and try to get the next Jerry Rice.

That's not exactly a great comparison. There's a larger talent pool in the Florida panhandle, that is being developed more consistently on and off the field.The blood lines that produced Jerry Rice, Walter Peyton , Brett Favre, and Steve McNair are still in Mississippi. Not wise to give up just yet. Do you give up on the Florida panhandle after the last couple of days?
Not really anything up for the debate at that moment. Clearly Saban has de-emphasized recruiting prospects from the State of Mississippi, with a few notable exceptions here and there. Perhaps that changes in time, but for now it's basically a moot, academic discussion.There's currently only 1 player from Mississippi on Alabama's roster and only 1 in this years recruiting class. Probably the fewest in the history of the program. So it appears that even Coach Saban himself has pretty much given up on the state of Mississippi. But...
If Bama gave up on Monroe, LA they would not have the twin Cams (Robinson and Sims) or a Hootie. So I think that was pretty good turn of events.The rumor at Batesville is that parents find jobs when their kids sign with Ole Miss. Don't know if it is true. If so, I'm not sure it's that much different from anywhere else.
Should Alabama give up on the Monroe, LA area? Not a lot of luck around there. Did get Bell from Rayville a few years ago.
I hate to break it to the Mississippi haters, but Alabama is looking at a few kids from Mississippi again. It would be a shame to find some more Steens and Norwoods, wouldn't it?

But there are a few Miss kids that work out, but not very many Bama has had success with lately.
It is amazing how hard it is to get kids away from Ole .... though, when they get their dirty mits on them. I cant think of any other medicore program that can do that like they do. Maybe Allbarn, but not many others.
The lawyer is Dickie Scruggs. I mentioned him in a post this past summer. LinkThe NCAA should take a long look at the guy who owns Dunlop tires in Mississippi and the lawyer who made millions from suing the tobacco companies. They are the Ole Miss money people. I know a few Ole Miss fans who are pretty well connected and they just cringe when I question their recruiting successes.
