I imagine we will try to get into play for some quality transfers. That?s our best bet right now.

Find someone that our staff pence thought was good that is a bit buried on a depth chart

We had 2 OL from last year that we signed and placed,in Juco,Josh Cooper(from Daks old HS) and Montravious Richardson. Anyone have a clue if we are still on them or their progress?

The focus now needs to be locking up Lovett (I'm being told its done) and beating out Bama/UT for Smith, by the way - I'm hearing we are getting him so there is that. Then turn the page to 2019 and get some OL here in a hurry.

If we are going to go into fall with 85 scholarship players, that's fine. But if not, we can't just lose scholarships. Even if it's a long shot, we need to use our scholarships. If we got lucky and got a solid contributor that would make balancing our OL roster much easier going forward.

Doesn't sound like the new staff is too high on either of them. Probably just a watch and follow situation for now.

I was thinking same thing, just hadn?t heard any word on them. I know they would probably be December entry?s at the earliest.

So it's a use it or lose it? No carry over?

From what I understand, Richardson is solid, Cooper not so much.

Smith has cut UT, so it?s us... unless Bama misses on a couple.

Thanks, Appreciate that info. Richardson is a monster hope he develops and gets in. We could use him.

Richardson redshirted at Mississippi Delta CC. That's pretty worriesome.

Honestly, we would probably be better off going after JUCO's or grad transfers than taking them back.

Spill what you’ve heard before we see MSState7’s cut and paste response on JoMo’s recruiting abilities. Eddie’s Twitter says he’s taking a break from social media...

Starting next year. No oversigning. And since we can't carry over scholarships if we undersign it basically is in effect this year as well.

So, every spot in the 25 is very important- and it's probably best to use those spots and then process down the road as necessary.

This! Had high hopes for his development and contribution...

We'll sign a couple guys on signing day but it's not about to be what everyone wants. This staff needs to have a good 2019 class. They'll have a full year to work with so no excuses.
