Based on what? I am very much a supporter of Moorhead. I think he will do great this year... I expect us to be really good on both sides of the ball. My only concern is our outlook after this season. We are losing a ton. We are getting thin on both lines, and we are not getting the numbers there we really need this cycle. The sec West is getting tougher. aTm really upgraded their HC and I think ark has too. OM will go balls to the wall again soon in recruiting. Auburn, bama, and LSU will always outrecruit us. Players will be as hard as ever to sign next season for us. I am not saying Moorhead will struggle to recruit here long term, but he has not shown enough to say he will flourish at all.

Everyone will say I am anti-Moorhead, but it is not true.

If that's the case, We pretty much cannot afford for Suggs, dolls bill, or Sampson to be busts or get hurt. Unbelievable that we have followed up last year with this year. We better be finding some OL next year that like the idea of virtually guaranteed playing time.

Don't wanna see any last minute Joey trapps either.

You don't make that decision

Robinson is scheduled to visit Nebraska today. Anyone know how the Nebraska people feel about locking him up on this visit?

He at least appears to have back up plans. That's progress because Dan rarely did. He would just roll the scholarship to next year and what he essentially did was put us on probation.

And again- Moorhead has kept most if not all the in state recruits.

So, you have nothing. Quickest way to show it is immediately say he is melting. Which point do you disagree with?

ETA... I am not saying Moorhead is gonna be bad recruiting. The jury is very much out. If someone has info that shows he will be a killer on the trail, I want to hear it. I wanna believe - x files

I like that we got in the game with 2 olinemen late. Homedawg says do not count on Sampson though, and homedawg knows his stuff. Robinson is wanted by Nebraska, so hopefully we get him and he is not a total reach

Lighten up Francis. I'll echo what Todd said - It's become apparent quickly that Joe not only has back up plans, he has back up plans for the back up plans. It's unfortunate that none of them have panned out yet, but he is still out there taking swings and trying to fill the class with quality guys. How many times in the past 3 pages on this thread have you said "wow, had no idea we were in on that guy?" or something similar.

Dan and Hev would not be beating the bushes looking for kids to fill their needs now. They would have shrugged their shoulders and said something about relentless effort.

**Cooterpoot** · 01-31-2018, 09:52 AM

Robinson is likely headed to Neb. No inside info, just geography. If Jones wants to sign with us still, he's going to get his shot it appears. He's a project but so was our new LT. Johnson is going to have to earn his pay and Moorhead is going to have to sign a gazillion OL next year. Hev really screwed us over in a couple different ways.
I hope he and Gonzo enjoy spooning on road trips this year.

Anybody know the status of Jake Hardage, OL form Arky? He could be the next one on the list.

If we sign him, what will the board opinion be? Ark took winkel, who everyone said was bad so no loss. If we turn around and sign an ark olineman with only a se Missouri st offer, will he be the diamond of this class that everyone overlooked?

I assume off field issues. Makes you wonder why we even wasted time bc apparently everyone already knew this or he would be a target for most everyone
