With our quarterback depth chart and the fact hes a free player in terms of scholarship I would think Mullen would do back flips if he wanted to come this fall... After two more years of Fitz he and Key could figure it out
This ^^^^^

I'm thoroughly surprised at all the people in this thread already saying Cord will never make it in football. I'm not predicting him to win a Heisman or get to the NFL, but Cord has every attribute needed to succeed at major college football.
He was insanely talented and played against great competition in FL.
He has ALREADY learned the work ethic of a pro athlete.
He will be significantly more mature than anyone on his college team.
Someone mentioned he wouldn't be in shape in time.... the guy is already a pro athlete and would be in football shape in less than 6 months.
Y'all are crazy thinking he would never make it.

We would have to release him if he were to play anywhere else on the D1 level

Im sure he could sit a year and redshirt anywhere, but Im not sure why he wouldnt come here if we wanted him though.. Dak has let everyone see how good Mullen is and the year Fitz had last year has further cemented that. He picked us the first time and he came and hung out at bowl practice in St Petersburg. If he gives up baseball after this spring (which I admittedly have no idea where he is on that) I dont think its at all outside the realm of reality hes on our roster next fall.

Garrison brooks says that's no problem

This is true, but if he came to MSU, the LOI is still active which means we'd have to provide a scholarship for him out of our allotment (and therefore pay for his college). Phillies may still provide some additional stipend or something, I'm not sure. He can go to any school he wants and use the Phillies money, but he'd have to sit a year if that was anywhere other than MSU. Unless, of course, he pulls a Garrison Brooks and at that point all bets are off.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Was every bit as hyped as Key when we signed him.

Surely the phillies were smart enough to say the value of the college education is capped at 8 semesters of tuition at miss state. If not, the kid could go to vandy or Stanford and really milk that deal

Free Masters degree or pay toward a Phd wouldn't be a bad way to go.

It's for the cost of tuition at Mississippi State.

I'd never turn down more competition. As said before he could bring maturity to the team. He might even help convince Simmons to stay all four years.... Nah!!! If Mullen wants him I want him.
Death penalty or bust!!!***

I agree with this 100% Can we cut the "Cord" already?

I have no idea how it works. High school kids who don't sign with any college get the same deal all the time from whoever drafts them, so it would have to be a flat amount in those cases and not tied to the tuition rate at any school. But either way, if he comes to MSU, the university has to foot the bill and honor the LOI. What other money he gets is irrelevant, but I'm sure that the Phillies have an out that prevents them from having to cover the full costs if he's already got MSU giving him a scholarship. But if not, buoy for him.

You listed two nose tackles and an anomaly QB Jared Lorenzen. Nice try.

I don't know what Cord's future is but I know he & Mullen still communicate on a pretty regular basis.
