The hate on this board is insane. A kid makes a decision he feels is best for him and he becomes enemy #1. Talk of shady recruiting, we did not need him, any player who picks UT will be better all sounds like a bunch of 5 year olds who had their ball taken from them.
Sometimes back to back losing seasons and talk of players throwing games while the coaches sit back and just roll with the punches will hurt recruiting and trying to land the better talent. As UT fans, we can ignore it or say it is not happening and we are still Tennessee. The fact remains, most outside UT see it as a doormat right now.
Both of my parents graduated from State. Starkville might be in the middle of nowhere and not have much to do, but it's not a ****hole. The campus is beautiful. The stadium is....not Neyland...but since the renovation, it looks nice.
I grew up going there once a year. I've never understood why it gets such a bad rap.
Now, that being said....Autry is crazy for going to State over UT.
Maybe the nightlife is not what sold him on playing at Miss State. Maybe football and what it offered was what sold him on it. Alot of kids do not need the party scene or other things to be happy. The kid has NFL talent and I guess he feels his choice in schools will get him to where he needs to be.
Guys...let's be honest...this one hurts...BAD...
We can get caught up with in-fighting and jockeying for e-cred/"insider" status...but regardless of any of that the facts remain the same...this guy is an elite prospect, we were all certain that we had him...and yes....painfully...this is a BAD omen with Damien Jacobs...
I hope our staff has something up their sleeves to counteract this cause this class just took a major hit
