While much of the focus on Mississippi State football in 2015 was on the offensive line and its struggles, the root of the problem goes back to the same problem Dan Mullen has had in his tenure at Mississippi State. The Bulldogs simply do not recruit at the same level as the upper tier of the SEC.
Many Bulldog fans have accepted the fact Dan Mullen will not bring in the same type of recruits as Alabama, LSU, and even Ole Miss with the way the Rebels have recruited since Hugh Freeze took over. We’ve accepted it because we have always been told Starkville is such a deterrent to big time recruits we should be thankful for whichever ones who choose to come to Mississippi State.
