As the Mississippi State Bulldogs ready to play the Auburn Tigers this Saturday, it would seem important to note that their 2009 recruiting class is shaping up quite nicely.

Commentary: In 2008, Sylvester Croom and the gang managed to convince a quartet of four-star recruits to enroll. They were able to lure the same amount of four-star prospects to town in 2007.

They’ve also netted verbal commitments from 11 three-star recruits.

Of course, verbal commitments are not signings. Thus, if Mississippi State doesn’t keep up its winning ways during the 2008 football season, then some of these big names -- Josh Boyd, Montrell Conner, Fletcher Cox, Patrick Patterson and Chris Smith -- will almost assuredly decide to go elsewhere.

Injury Watch: LT Derek Sherrod, who developed an infection in his left foot a week before the season opener, should return to the starting lineup this weekend. TE Marcus Green is hurt with a pelvis injury that will limit him.
