Recruiting includes signing. No need to talk to high school coaches. We'll see the results over the next three seasons. If you recruit well, you win C-USA.You talk to the Laurel head coach and the Coast high school coaches and they will tell you Hopson and his staff have recruited South Mississippi better than USM has in several years!
Murphy kid from Hattiesburg (Dandy Dozen)was never going to Southern Miss., he has been set on Tennessee since this summer. The 3 star WR from Biloxi is very athletic and wants to be at Southern Miss! Reddix the very talented WR from Biloxi St. Martin may be even better than Murphy from Hattiesburg but is a drama queen and flips commits! He was committed to Southern Miss originally!

There was nothing negative about my post. I'm just saying that there are several ways to "assess" recruiting. I suppose one way would be to talk to area high school coaches. Another way is the star ranking system. But perhaps the best way is to simply watch our defensive players on the field. Are they fast enough to make plays? I think playing in C-USA makes recruiting really difficult, but playing in C-USA makes it really easy to see gauge the caliber (at least physically) of our signees.Debbie downer!!! I do get what you're saying.
Bottom line: We needed to sign Windham and Gillins, got neither. These are the difference makers we are missing out on right now. I'm talking about immediate help, not 3 years down the road. JH better figure it out because his influx of high school players won't contribute for some time.
Not sure if it is just follow the leader or thier SR year performance but thier offer list have improved since we offered. At the time of our offer a good number had no offers, or if they had an offer it was from an FCS school. I think we were up to 4 3 star players so if Hop can finish strong it should be an okay class. If I remember correctly TM had the rug pulled out from under him on his First class with several guys not signing at the last minute. Those kids that want to make a show of their choice between "big money schools" on signing day cause ripples that can really hurt our signing class.Pretty simple. Go down the commitment list and see who we competed against/who else offered.
