Recruits: This will be the first game of 2013 that Mississippi State is allowed to host recruits at home, and it looks like State is not going to waste the opportunity. Paul Jones of 247Sports says that upwards of 200 (!) recruits could be in town this weekend for MSU's game with the Tide. That list includes names like MSU commit Elijah Staley, and MSU target and UT commit Cory Thomas. Paul's list does not include this name, but our friend Robbie Faulk at Rivals states that he is hearing ($) 5* cornerback prospect Marlon Humphrey will also be in attendance, among many others. You can check out Robbie's list as well for even more names expected to decent upon Starkville this weekend.
