Looking at Wednesday’s signees — including junior college and prep school athletes — here’s a snapshot of the talent produced by the state of Mississippi in 2013 (as graded by Rivals.com):
5-stars = 1
4-stars = 11
3- stars = 36
Total 3+ stars = 48
Here’s where the state’s 10 highest-ranked players are headed:
Ole Miss = 4
Mississippi State = 3
Auburn = 1
Memphis = 1
Southern Miss = 1
Loyalty: Eight out of the Magnolia State’s 10 best recruits decided to stay close to home for their college careers. While the SEC’s two Mississippi-based schools may duke it out every year, if they can continue to divvy up the tip-top local talent each year they’ll both benefit.
