[KOdawg1]

Absolutely huge. Even bigger that he'll be here in the spring to go through workouts and practice.

Get a LT and a kicker and let's go kick ass.

[Dak Holliday]

Massive. This is the biggest acquisition this signing period.

[Catfish]

Wow! Wasn't expecting this.

[Bdawg]

Damn that's big news!!!!! Keep filling those gaps!!! I really am kinda shocked how well the staff is doing in a short period of time, especially since the Covid year ruined their first year and face to face interaction. Keep it up!!

[Tater]

Soooooo are we really still out on Chambers???

[Bdawg]

Absolutely huge. Even bigger that he'll be here in the spring to go through workouts and practice.

Kicker is becoming a very, very important must get for this team. Cost us games and is so demoralizing when they go out there and miss the fairly easy ones. Such momentum swings, too.

[KOdawg1]

Soooooo are we really still out on Chambers???
Yes. He has stopped communicating with our coaches.

Him and Nicholson for spring!!!

[ZedFedder]

Wow.

You are absolutely right. With the team we're putting together we have to pick up a good kicker.

[Tater]

Yes. He has stopped communicating with our coaches.

I mean the same sentiment was thought about Banks. Thought someone in the know said 0% on both. I believe we'll be fine w/o him and it's a bigger loss for him than us, but gotta move him to 1% in my book based on this. I'm curious if Banks or Nicholson or Richardson will win that outside corner spot. Curious if any get ran at safety this spring.

[Turfdawg67]

There's your crystal balls, and recruiting in general, in a nutshell, Banks predicted for Miami and Chambers for us...

Great score for us though! A bigger need met than WR, right?!?

Washington & Banks never stopped communicating. Spurrier hasn't heard from Chambers.

[HoopsDawg]

Boom! Great job by Washington!!

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Boom! Great job by Washington!!

I will give McBath some credit because he did do a good job on the OV.

BJ Foster next?

Rep!!

[Turfdawg67]

Just saw where Nigel Knott was in the portal transferring from OM?? Never knew he signed with OM after Bama. What happened to that guy?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

BJ Foster next?

I think we'll sign 2 more DB portals

[bobcat91]

Elite athlete, but not an elite FB player. I think he also was injured at Bama

[ZedFedder]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Knott went Bama to ECU to OM (as a walk-on).

[Yim Yames]

I think we'll sign 2 more DB portals

Any thoughts/hints as to who?

[Todd4State]

Getting Banks and Nicholson will help our secondary immensely. Pretty excited about what we could potentially look like next year.

[Todd4State]

I think we'll sign 2 more DB portals

So, by my count...

2 WR's

1 OT

1 CB- CHECK

2- safeties

1 Kicker

1 Punter

If my recruiting class math is right that would give us 29 signees. Leaving just enough room for a high school OL and CB to get to 31.

[PikeDawg15]

The biggest thing is a kicker.
We HAVE to get a kicker no if ands or buts.
Lost us way too many games

[BuckyIsAB****]

I wonder if he can play safety

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I wonder if he can play safety

The better question is I wonder if Nicholson can.

[OLJWales]

Will this bump our crootin' rank? (Axin' fuh one of my confed friends)

[KOdawg1]

Will this bump our crootin' rank? (Axin' fuh one of my confed friends)

Yes. Banks is rated as a 90 4star in the transfer portal.

Not until we get a GOOD LT and a GOOD kicker.

[TrapGame]

SEC Radio said yesterday that a wave of dudes will hit the portal after the bowl games.

Patience Grasshopper.

I agree, given the Air Raid's tendency to bog down in the red zone, I would say the FG kicking need is right on par with the LT replacement need as what should be our top priority. You can't repeatedly move down the field and then come up with no points because you can't make routine FGs. That will kill any team's chances of beating a good opponent.

Who’s to say the freshman kicker we had this year doesn’t turn the corner and become a good kicker. I know he sucked this past year but obviously the coaches saw some potential there or they wouldn’t have kept trotting him out there. We needed a kicker last year but we may already have next years kicker on the team. I’m like you though, I’d at least like to sign a Plan B from the portal.

Exactly! These coaches have done an awesome job of recruiting so you have to think they have their eye on someone. Maybe a transfer or someone in the portal.

[Hot Rock]

That's two DB's that can play immediately and two more from HS to build for the future.

I know they missed on K. Rogers to Miami but that seems like a year ago. Who says he won't be in the portal next year and we will have already laid the foundation to get him then. He may not have been counted on this next year heavily anyway, he has an injury that he is rehabbing.

Looking to add two more DB's you say? At least one of them is a safety I am sure. All of a sudden this defense is starting to look like it could be dang good immediately and with a bright future.

Then add one more Tackle that may help now and that kicker. That still leaves room to get best available or stacking positions of need.

I really like the balance of this class. Lots of young talent in the trenches on both sides of the ball and really talented players coming in at seemingly every position from HS and JuCo or portal guys at positions of need.


I don't know how this team will play next year but we should not say this staff can't recruit again. They dang sure can do it.

[OLJWales]

Leach can't croot. Better learn to beat The Hell Dwellers though.

[Jack Lambert]

Ya'll think there was any NIL money involed?

[Jack Lambert]

Who is Nicholson? Is he a JUCO transfer?

[KOdawg1]

Who is Nicholson? Is he a JUCO transfer?

Yes from MGCCC

[OLJWales]

I'm starting to have bad assed DE & Lock Down Corner Wooly Woodrows.

[Hot Rock]

Ya'll think there was any NIL money involed?

If it is, I hope that it keeps flowing! Stacking talented classes is the only way to truly win year in and year out.

[Commercecomet24]

Ya'll think there was any NIL money involed?

I know for a fact there has been nil money involved

[Commercecomet24]

The better question is I wonder if Nicholson can.

Nicholson would be an awesome free safety. He has elite speed and could cover up a lot of mistakes in coverage by others. Also he's at 6'4" if not a little taller. And he played qb in hs and one year of juco so he understands routes and what qbs are looking at in coverage.

[Extendedcab]

OK, if our recruiting class was ranked number 13 nationally, by Rivals last week, what does this addition do for our ranking?

[Hot Rock]

I think nothing, because I don't think Rivals includes transfers in their recruiting rankings. They stand at 15 right now because some other teams have added some players.

247 does a composite that includes everything transfers is adding in separately but it's available but they also include ESPN and ON3 which have State's classes much lower.

I like to look at team talent when the final team evaluations come out in the fall but by then we have real games to see.

Well let's keep it hush bc if it was negotiated prior to enrollment that's a crime now. Thanks MS legislature.

UPig has a kicker in the portal. I think he handled kickoffs only last year and wants to do place kicking too but stuck behind dang good freshman. Gotta be better than what we had last year.

I didn't necessarily mean about banks, I just meant in general although I'm sure at some point he'll get his, 😉

If the State alumni or booster live in and owns a business in another state how can the state of Miss stop it? There are a lot of State Grads in Alabama. Maybe one or more of them negotiated a deal in the state of Alabama.

People in this state and the sec in general have been paying college football players forever. They don’t give 2 shits about an nil law that is damn near impossible to prove. The ncaa is dead and the first politician in this state to try and take an in state school to court over an NIL deal will be cast out of politics in this State. Talk about political suicide.
