He ain't bringing the QB, OL, or WR
I realize that. But these are the same players LSU had last year before Brady. Incredible improvement in one year.Quote:

With our recruiting options we would be more likely to see success with a Billy Napier offense.
That's status quo thinking.Quote:

You will not get a new coach until 2022. At the earliest.
Unless the offenses in Mississippi start coaching something vastly different it will be "status quo" for a while. We know what kind of offense we need to run. We've had lots of success with it very recently, it's called the power spread with a hoss at QB.Quote:

Would it be impossible for us to build relationships with a 5 star WR every 3 years and land 1? That doesn't seem so difficult and would make a huge difference for us.Quote:

There are three four star WR's in the 2021 class already including one who made the UA Future 50. We also have an UA All-American slot receiver in Tulu and Malik Heath was a former UA All-American himself. We're also likely getting/signing and placing Alex Adams who is a four star talent.Quote:

Stephen Guidry who is a complete prima donna head case who was a four star that started out at McNeese State for a reason despite his raw talent. Meaning even ULL, Tulane, and etc. passed on him.
Deddrick Thomas- Solid slot receiver who has made a lot of big catches for us over the years. He was a three star and that seems to be a reasonable evaluation if not a little low.
Ole Miss losing Jacob Peeler was a huge blow to them and could help us next year.
It's hard to attract WR's when your WR coach is lazy like Billy Gonzalez was.
I'm not sure about 5* WR's but this state has produced plenty of four star receivers recently. We also missed on guys like Omar Bayless, Jamarcus Bradley, and Jaylen Smith who are all Mississippians who are all better than Guidry and Osirus.
Yes. It aint happening. Our recruits are going to come from Mississippi plus we will get leftovers/diamonds from Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia. That is our footprint and what we are going to get.Quote:

But, I'm calling my shot: We lose to Arkansas next season with a career OL coach Sam Pittman as a first year head coach, Barry Odom as DC and Kendall Briles as OC. Book it. If that happens what little support Joe has will evaporate like a drop of water in the Sahara.
And, yes, Napier runs an offense that is in our wheelhouse all day long. That's who we are and who we've always been. Find a deep threat to go with it and we'll have a chance to make a run for the West every three or four years.
And it may become easier for us if Ole Miss starts to try to recruit nationally again like it looks like they are probably going to try to do. The difference is we won't have Dan Mullen's lazy ass country club worried more about their hand size going after players.Quote:

They're still pretty devoid of talent. 4-8 would be an improvement and 6-6 is probably their ceiling.Quote:
