RB from SMU, a transfer LB from TCU. They have a top tranfer CB officially visiting this weekend. Deion Smith is transferring there if/when he gets his grades in order.
Meanwhile in Starkville, Coach Leach can't even find the time to attend our pro day.
Things are not trending well with our football program.
Skipped the pro day? Come on mane
He gets us to 9 wins total this year (including an egg bowl win) I won't care.Quote:

He seriously skipped pro day? That's terribleQuote:

This staff looks like they've damn near quit recruiting. It's getting ridiculous.
9 wins is a tough task. I'd be pretty happy with 8Quote:

Is it just me - or has recruiting in general not a focus. Maybe I'm getting old, but I used to be able to name you 10-15 kids that were priority in-state kids of an upcoming year. Now? I couldn't name more than 3. Probably just me getting old.Quote:

9 wins? Are y'all high? We've won 9 in the regular season like what, 4 times ever?
For context we only started playing 12 games like 20 years ago. We've had a few 8 win seasons that would have been 9 win seasons in today's era.Quote:

At any rate that's possible for us. We won 7 last year so we're taking a 2 win improvement. It's not like we won 2 games last year or something.
You could say we've never recruited at an SEC level. Leach's last class is probably better than several we've had in recent years. My concern is going into the season with only one qb game ready, and he's coming off two bad outings.Quote:

We should be favored against AU and Arkansas and I bet we will be under a 6 point dog against LSU, and my guess a pick em against Ole Miss. This is also making A&M a free shot for Leach at home. I'm not expecting that one, which is pretty generous.
8 regular season wins with everything we have returning is a good season. I think we should expect a good season in year 3 after dealing with some pretty shitty games the last two years.
Ole Miss didn't clean up in state for '22. We did better there. They did try a lot harder the portal than we did and results show it.Quote:
