Will Dan Mullen's latest recruiting class make more of an immediate impact than any one he has brought in so far?
Dan Mullen's traditional way of running business at Mississippi State when it comes to freshmen has, for the most part, been to ease the elite players that are ready for the college level into the rotation until they get a season under their belt. Even five-star Chris Jones wasn't a full-time starter his first year on campus.
Other than the 2009 class that included many first-year starters like Chad Bumphis and Chris Smith because of major depth issues, Mullen hasn't relied too heavily on freshmen to play a lot right away.
