wait a minute--Joey did not start but he was a back up and gave us depth plus he was on punting and field goal teams. So He wasn't a bust. So in y'all opinion if a guy doesn't start He is a bust??

They would have 4 to play 3 or 3 to play 3 and give us a little depth for the future
i think we have 3 -OL red shirtted--2 Jucos and Suggs--am I right?

I like this idea if we can't find replacements. That or go find some freak athletes playing basketball that we can try at DE

Absolutely. Definitely have a chance if you sign someone as opposed to not signing anyone. And now with the 25 cap even more important.

Coach has stated he isn?t going to run anybody off right now, everyone has a clean slate. That?s part of the reason he isn?t going to over sign this year, along with the new staff hasn?t had a full recruiting cycle here. The guys we have ?lost? to other schools aren?t from Mississippi and have no loyalty to State. And while I know it hurt?s some folks feelings that those guys didn?t choose State, some folks don?t see the attraction that we see.
I admire Coach JoeMo for doing this because it gives every player an equal opportunity to earn a position, and not just based on what Mullen's thinking and evaluation was. It's Coach JoeMo's team now, and he may see something in a certain player that Mullen didn't. I agree. I think most of those complaining are still looking back when MSU was recruiting kids who grew up being Bulldogs, or had connections to MSU, and thinking these AL, LA, etc. kids have that same mindset. Also kids change their minds and sometimes they just like one school better than another one.

To add to all the gloom and doom and meltdowns ..
Of the top 5 guys we missed on. If we had the old staff still intact we prob just land 2 of them. ( McDowell and Bleich)
Carvin - Tenn
Smith - Bama
Bishop - would have still flipped to Arky
And I bet Mason would have still flipped as well.
So let’s see what the new staff can do now that they are all intact and have been here more than a minute or 2.

Since we have open scholarships, I wish we would offer Tylan Knight as a special teams specialist. He will probably sign with Ole Miss.

This why I don’t do recruiting. Moorhead has been here, what, three months, max. And this talk already?

Again.....there will not be scholarships that go "unused". I don't why people keep talking about this crap. Dan is gone.

So what is our number to have 85 scholarship players in the spring?
Of course that ensures that we will have "unused" scholarships in the spring (obviously we'll give them to somebody, but it will be upper classmen walkons) because we will have attrition after people get an idea of where they are on the depth chart.

Nobody has 85 scholarship players in the spring. Not when you're going to add 10-18 guys every year in the summer. Unless I'm not understanding your post.

From what I understand the total we have scholarships for is 21 I believe. Any more and you have to process that many out which Moorhead said he wasn’t going to do this year. We have 18 committed (1 sign and place) add Lovett and reed. We have 1 scholarship remaining unless someone processes themself.

We only have 15 that have signed so if 21 is the max we have 6 left that we could sign next week.
We do have the 3 that are committed and If those 3 signed we would have 3 left.
