Tupelo Recruiting?


Former Coach
 Share

Recommended Posts

I’m sure every single 7A school trying to do so. Tupelo, Starkville, Oxford, Madison central, Clinton, Brandon, petal, oak grove, Gulfport, ocean springs are all big time recruiting from the text groups I have seen.   Some schools hide it well, some are blatant and basically dare MHSAA to try to stop it. It will take state legislature passing laws to stop or allow it. MHSAA only cares if it affects their money or if the right person complains.    
 

There will eventually be some lawsuits popping up over it. You can about bet on it.

Maybe, but they likely won't have teeth.

 

Recruiting is commonplace in high school athletics.  If larger programs aren't recruiting, then they aren't keeping pace.  

 

On the coast, Ocean Springs was probably the first offender dating back to the Ryan Ross days.  Now they're one of many engaged in it including my alma mater Pascagoula.  Let's just say our new coach is dissatisfied with the QB position as it stands.

Maybe so but ALL the ones that I am aware of with Tupelo from various other schools were decided after football season last year and they are making bonafide moves.

He needs to reach out to Gulfport for the QB connection. Tell Wyatt to find him a QB and one magically appears for a state title run. Keep their out of state house get the parent a job in the district and find them a place to live.. Done deal.

I'd be thrilled if he did.  Or maybe someone at OS can mentor him.

19 D1 recruits wasn’t enough for Hardin and company to win it last year and it will be the same this year also. In 7A it takes horses and scheme. One of those is lacking more than the other. 

As smart as this sounds they were literally a once in a lifetime tip drill away from back to back state titles. I enjoyed watching them lose though.
