What's going on with Pat Austin?
I like Banks at Starkville HS...Bump has been in college coaching a few years.
If we hired Banks, would we be unable to recruit SHS for a couple of years? Is there not a relatively new NCAA rule that would prohibit that? If true, that would seem to make Bumphis the more desirable hire...
Hence the comment about Suggs being ready to start in 2019. If Champion and Phillips are not SEC starter quality prospects and they are the back-ups in 2018, that leaves a lot of question marks as to who we are going to use to fill out our OLine in 2019, when Calhoun and Jenkins are gone. Either Suggs will have to make a big jump, and/or Dollar Bill will have to be ready as a RS Freshman, and/or we will have to find a JUCO or two who are ready to start.
Of course I don't have any great source as to the quality of CHampion and Phillips, so maybe they will be fine as starters in 2019; that's just not generally the opinion when people have weighed in on them.
ETA: And again, Suggs is also important because he is one of the HS'ers in back to back classes with one HS Oline. If he is a bust, that is going to make it much harder on us going forward. If Suggs and Dolla Bill are busts, we will have two years where our OLINe will be completely filled by JUCO's and underclassmen. I've got to think the O-lines meeting that description are usually not good.
Phillips is a legit starter. IYOK already pointed that out too.
any update on Pat's replacement?
IYOK or Ari, we better get on Mingo quick bc this kid is gonna blow the roof off in 2018.
Notre Dame, UGA, Bama, Auburn, have already offered and it wouldnt surprise me if UF does over the summer
It just sucks that we are MooU and just a redneck agricultural school.. too bad our Engineering program isn’t good...****
