He doesn't want to come here. Pretty simple.Quote:

Doesn't mean he won't still be in the class, but as I said there's a lot of mending of fences on that one.Quote:

Fans storming the field vs fans blaming the president, AD, coaches, players, ticket takers, and concession stand workers.Quote:

Yeah this is pathetic. I will try to hold out hope for the portal but dont really see a path forward there either.Quote:

Anson Lewis is committed. Ok offer sheet. 4 other P4 and 3 other SEC offers, not sure how committable they are though.
As I said. There are things being mismanaged and it must be remedied or things will start drying up financially

Who else was on the kid? Not trying to knock him and maybe he can be a depth piece for us, but I get the frustration from people. I mean we're striking out on a lot of targets and having to settle for guys with offers from G5 and FCS programs. Now maybe the rumors are true and USCe was on him. No clue of that because they never offered him. I just believe this was probably a kid we could've waited on and signed closer to signing day.Quote:

Oh I'm not saying he's not better than some of the guys we currently have. That's a low bar to cross though. And the 3 to play 3 does make it a bit better because you can almost treat him like a HS guy, just with one less year.Quote:

Outside of McClendon, maybe Trevion, maybe Deonte Anderson, and maybe Donterry Russell I would be ok with parting ways with the rest of them. Unless they're ok with a decreased role next year.
Also - he isn't an NIL guy. He is getting the basic package.Quote:

We need to keep the two HUGE JUCO pieces (Hardy and Mitchell). It'd be huge if we could somehow get back in the game with Henry, but I think that ship has sailed.Quote:

We can't have those types of misses.Quote:

Heck out of the multi year portal guys we took in the 23 class, only one is playing. And Seydou would've played last year had he been eligible. Also, this is just another great reminder that the last staff GAVE A SCHOLARSHIP TO RYLAND GOEDE.
Who all do we have visiting Saturday?Quote:

Alabama LB Keanu Koht is planning to enter the portal. #61 recruit national in 2021.
So far it's confirmed we have a DL from NWCC, an Auburn OL commit, trying to get a recent FSU OL decommit, CB from ECCC, and a few 2026 and 27 guys. I know we're trying to get Oatis on an unofficial, but tbd to whether that comes to fruition.Quote:
