[Tbonewannabe]

One thing I noticed is with Marcus Murphy having the same number as Fitz, it pretty much guarantees he will stay on the defensive side unless they want to do a jersey change. Nice to see Guidry with the #1, hopefully he plays like a #1 receiver.

[ShotgunDawg]

Guidry is up to 190. He gained 5 lbs

Jason gained 10 lbs & is now 220

Kwatrivous Johnson is YUGE 6'7" 355

[Captain Falcon]

No La’Damian Webb.

[thf24]

I like how in recent years we've started breaking down positions between S/CB and DT/DE instead of just DB and DL.

[Bully13]

Well now we know why Guidry's back. He refused to do so until he was awarded # 1.

Just Kidding. Go Dogs!

Coaching Staff info is complete now too - http://hailstate.com/coaches.aspx?path=football

12 on field, 19 off-field, 5 S&C

That's 5 more off-field positions 4 additional S&C than we had listed under Mullen in 2017. 8 more off-field than Mullen had in 2016.
Sounds like JoMo and Cohen opened the check book.

[thf24]

Slight hijack but are we sure Austin Williams is going to play in the slot? I love the concept of having a big body there, but the position is awfully crowded with upperclassmen while we're somewhat thin on the outside in terms of talent and potential.

[SmokeyDawg]

Crumedy up to 6'5 295... moving him inside or typo?

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

No La?Damian Webb.

JUCO...edited to say the odds are in fact 100% not 50-50

[Ari Gold]

No La’Damian Webb.

Still waiting to see if he gets in . I was told 50/50 at best

[msstate7]

JUCO

Kick in the pants. Is that 3 we didn't get in? Signed 23. Can't do that this season

Getting Emery will more than make up for this

[ShotgunDawg]

Johnson is #69 for his FR year

I'm sure other schools have similar or more staff, but 7 people doing nothing but football recruiting shows how the game has changed across the league.

Jon Guynes Recruiting Assistant

[preachermatt83]

Fabien Lovett is massive for a freshman DL. 6'4 235

[Ari Gold]

Getting Emery will more than make up for this

Webb will hurt the most in special teams. Was told that the old staff thought he could play and contribute on special teams as a frosh
CJM possible would have seen that different but Webb is a better version of Holloway with much more upside

[Covercorner2]

Fabien Lovett is massive for a freshman DL. 6'4 235

And hes listed at DE.

[msu15]

Fabian Lovett 335 pounds!?

What is a director of on campus recruiting?

And is that Andrea Hollis from Morton who played at OM?
