South Panola, who is ranked #1 by Rivals got their revenge on MUS tonight 45-2, ending the Owls 28 game win streak. South Panola was as good as advertised, having returned 18 kids from last years State Championship squad. MUS was not as bad as the score indicated, but after graduating a lot of seniors and being thin on defense due to injuries, they were simply out sized and out matched.

Recruits in this game....

South Panola:

Nickalos Brassell - SR - ATH - Rivals 4* & #6 Ath - After watching this kid play tonight, I understand completely why is is so coveted. He dazzled tonight on offense and defense. Did not get a real opportunity to show his skills in the return game. The kid has speed, speed, and more speed. Assuming that he qualifies (given Panola's history) the biggest issue with this kid would be where to play him, because he could excel on wither side of the ball.

Qyendarius Griffin - SR - RB - Not ranked by Rivals - How the hell is a kid of this caliber at a school like SP not ranked by Rivals? In fact, Rivals lists him as a LB. Through 3 games this kid has something like 700 yards. MUS was undersized on defense, but I really dont think it mattered after what he did to Colquitt County (GA) last week. He was listed at 6'0 215, but he looked a little heavier. Good speed, but not great. Tough runner that has killer stiff arm. I think it would be scary to see this kid in a D1 weight room.

Kendrick Market - SR - DB - Rivals 3* and #31 Safety - Sp whole defensive secondary was tough . Did not get that good a read on this kid. He showed D1 speed on offense.

MUS:

Ben Still - JR - OL - This kid lived up to the billing. As big as a team as SP was, they tried to line up away from this kid (played center) as much as possible. Panola used a pretty solid nose tackle at times against him and Still handled him. He is the headliner of a very talented MUS that held their own against SP tonight. Their rushing yards stunk, but there comes a limit on how many kids the OL can block when SP stacked the box.

Toby Baker - JR - QB/P - The kid had a rough night as a QB, but he was a bright spot as a punter. We are set at punter it seems, but this kid is two years out so who knows. Great hang time on each of his kicks, and he was averaging somewhere around 45-50 yds a kick tonight. He neutralized Brassell in the return game.

Henry Dickinson - SR - LB - unranked on Rivals - Offer from Illinois - At 6'4 , this kid has the frame to put on more weight for the LB position. Solid LB. Not sure if this kid is an SEC caliber LB, but he is Division 1 caliber for sure. Vandy could be an SEC school that would take a chance on him though. They have taken a couple of MUS LB's in the past 5 years.

I graduated from MUS. Heard there were over 10,000 people at the game. With the graduation of Brunetti, the Owls didn't have a chance. My Owls will always be a VERY well coached team under Coach Bobby Alston. The problem is that it's a private school and there's only about 85 kids per graduating class -- they can't win on talent alone, especially against big public schools.

With that said, I have a feeling CDD will be watching MUS, because the kids that come out of there are great -- smart kids, good grades, very coachable, etc. Not 5 or 4 stars, but great all around kids.

MUS is not a juggernaut of football names at the next level. The only 2 names that did (or are projected to do) anything significant:

1.) Tom Hutton - P - UT 91-94 (I believe). Finished 8th all time at UT for average punting yards (40.7 per game). Played 5 years in the NFL - Eagles and Dolphins.

2.) Brunetti - W.Va. Only time will tell.

3.) John Stokes - Captain of Vandy football team this year.

4.) Will Thompson - graduated with me at MUS. His sister, Ashley, is married to Peyton Manning. :eek:lol:

No offense to Mr. Still but I would prefer we pass on Memphis State level talent and the offspring of Mr. and Mrs. 3rd Gen Removed From Slave Owning Cotton Farmers.

2 LB on the 2 deep at Vandy.

OL @ Wake is projected as a top 3 round draft pick this year.

Brunetti at WVU.

RB @ Navy.

Kicker at Bama.

I think they are doing alright. Their talent pool has gotten deeper over the past 5 years. Their athletes from 7th grade -12 grade look a lot different as compared to 5 years to go. The OL alone has 3-4 college prospects. They will recover from this game and still be good. Probably really good in the next 2 following this one.

They have more talent now than they have had in the past, it is just young.

Great call considering that this kid already has interest from Ole Miss, TN, and Alabama among others. Not to mention that his dad was a Vol AA and played awhile in the NFL.
