was at Horn Lake Friday, talked with man claiming to be ND's travel baseball coach. He says GA is done deal, fwiw. Says he is great kid that wants to be a MD one day (btw, dad is MD outside Orlando). MSU remains outside contender but made up some ground. Great HS player but hard to envision him as top inside backer in country. Raydarius Jones is intriguing athlete, can fly! ND just is not big enough for LB in SEC, imo
I also would like to get Raydarius Jones. That guy is greased lightning.Quote:

Witherspoon committed
They've ran on the same field getting their 40's this spring at the Atlanta Nike Opening Regional. Raydarius ran a laser 4.45 Plumlee ran a 4.61. Again Plumlee can blaze he's not near as fast as Raydarius. Watching Raydarius run in the open field you realize how fast that kid is.Quote:

Good. Now we've got plenty of skilled athletes. Let's get some big offensive linemen to open holes for these good players to win football games.Quote:

I hate it when facts get in the way of a good disagreement.Quote:

I think he could play either very well, but I believe he will wind up at corner.Quote:

If we get KB it greatly helps out chances with him but we very well could get him regardless. Longo is hurting OM more than helping them with Mingo. He is an extremely competitive kid and he wants to win. Yes he wants to be drafted and they can sell him that and they are, but we are very much in the game.
Let it play out. We talked to him today FWIW to you
Why would it help by getting KB? Would Mingo be expected to play a lot in year one, his only year with KB.Quote:

Agree and I contend we need more speed at many positions on the team. We have mostly 4.5 - 4.7 forty WRs and DBs and that's ok to compete with most teams. To get to BAMA's level, you have to have some elite speed in a few positions. Not all, but at least a few. Like sub 4.5......RB, WR, and DBs come to mind mostly. And if one or two of those could return kickoffs and punts to give us an occasional breakaway TD, it would be a big plus. The latest RB we have committed from Alabama has around 4.4 from what everyone tells me. That is good, and we could use several more like that.Quote:

Watching his 2018 highlight, 2 things stand out:Quote:
