Quick Notes

I've wanted to write something about the general feeling around Mississippi State athletics right now. A fellow blogger did a better job than I would have, so here you go.

Congratulations to Barry Stewart on being named freshman of the week in the SEC. Ben Hansbrough won the honor as well earlier this season. More here.

Finally, Scout.com released their latest state rankings for football. It is my belief that when trying to rebuild a program, you need to start by winning the recruiting battles in your own state. Even if Mississippi is not exactly the most talent rich state in the country. Pretty even battle with Ole Miss having 10 commits in the top 30 compared to Mississippi State's 9. MSU has 5 in the top 10, Ole Miss has 3.
