Tupelo Recruiting?

[pancho]

It would have to be pretty blatant and stupid for ricky neaves to discipline tupelo in any way.  They have kids already penciled in to move following the next school year.

Believe it or not, some schools don’t have to recruit. Tupelo is one of those schools. Let’s be honest, Tupelo recruits itself. They have all the resources in that area. Numerous kids are going off to play college ball. Great academics!!! Top notch facilities with good coaches and a ton of support from the administration and community. Families move to Tupelo or they send their kids there by using a relative address. My family moved to Tupelo from the Delta because we had better resources and opportunities.

Numerous kids playing college ball

 

The “great” coaching staff openly reaches out to other coaches in the areas players and brings them in on “visits” and convinces them to move to Tupelo.
 

The “great” coaching staff then has 18-25 D1 players and 3 of the top 10 in state of Mississippi and then loses to West Point and Gulfport with 1 D1 player on the team.

How would it be blatant and stupid if he has grounds to do so?

I mean tupelo would have to be really stupid for neaves to get on to them.  kinda like what happened with the williams qb when he transferred from Nettleton.  Kid missed nearly all of the first year and then missed several games in alternative school last year due to fighting a teammate in the jamboree.  He was also a mental case and almost not coachable at times.  I think Tupelo is being very careful in the current transfer environment now.  They have excellent coaching and players on D but their O will tell the tale of how good and how far they go again this year.
