I will put this out there...
Long shot but we could have a new addition when fall practice kicks off..

Someone besides Shaq Wiggins? I would hope Shaq isnt a log shot

If so I hope its a WR. We need a big time WR even much worse than we need a big time CB IMO. We are just WAY short on playmakers at wideout.

At least give a position or something. Or are you talking about the 10th assistant?

It's a WR ..
I would say Shaq is > 50/50 he ends up in Starkville . He is far from a long shot

It's the longest of shots like from the other free throw line long shot but every now & again those shots go in.

Remote chance based on his interest or our interest?

Remote chance based on his interest or our interest?

The interest is there on both sides it's off the field. Nothing to be considered as negative.

I think Shaq is definitely interested or I'm sure he would not go to the trouble to appeal the restrictions on his transfer. I think we would be very interested. I just hope his momma is not one of our coaches ex!***

So, we're not getting Shaq now?

I have no qualms w/ holding off Key's redshirt after watching Mayden's tape.

Obviously what sticks out is he'd be the fastest & most athletic QB Dan's had. Doesn't show the deep ball that Fitz or Key has, but can put it on the money on short to mid routes. Not to say he doesn't have a deep ball but his explosive pass plays are all busted coverage deep throws or underneath routes that break. Looks like he plays in a system similar to ours, & has experience behind a leaky OL so he should transition quickly. Not sure if he has the same interception rate but he reminds me of a more compact Marcus Mariota.

Still think Key would be the more effective short yardage runner but w/ Mayden's wheels I have to imagine he sees some package plays early to try & bust a big one. Put him in on our 5 wide QB draw & he's a missed tackle away from 6 anywhere on the field.

I didn't really have any issues with not redshirting Thompson to begin with. If he's as good as advertised, he's not going to be here for 5 years anyway.

Visiting next weekend or the next .
I expect Shaq to be In Maroon come the summer.

Good stuff!

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

I think were going to see Crumedy make a Chris Jones jump in ratings this year. He is a beast. I hope we can get him.

[ShotgunDawg]

We offered Cole Smith finally. Will be interesting to see what happens there.

FINALLY! Not sure what took them so long to be honest. Does anybody know if we have a shot with him? I know he is currently committed to LSU, but it sure would be nice to pull him away.

I am shocked Shaq didn't visit ..

After visiting Tennessee, I'm not.

On the football side, Hevesy and Bleich hit it off.
"It's just his personality," Bleich said. "When I was in the coaching room watching him coach, he'll tell you what you do wrong and what to fix. He will make it fun, though. He will make a few jokes, but it's always enjoyable to be there."

[Bothrops]

Olive Branch CB Jaylon Reed commits to Tennessee, as well. Wasn't this a priority guy?
