JJ Harrell hits the portal.
He was our biggest recruiter last signing class, and didn?t sniff the field.
He won?t be the last. I think this is good attrition.

Creed also in portal as expected.
UCF OT just decommitted. 4 star from Warner Robbins. Had some success in that area in the last couple of years. He may be following Malzahn but we need to go hard after him.
To GT if I'm not mistaken.Quote:

The knock on him is that he is “too short”…. Plus the old outdated mantra of private school ball and competition. Kid is easily top 5 QB in the state arguably top 3. He is a very good passer and surprisingly good runner.
Isaiah Mitchell commits. Flip from Cincy.
Rumor on X that Lockhart is flipping to UM. Any truth to it?
No. It is not. OM is driving the price up, but Lockhart will sign with us on Wednesday.Quote:

I think we keep all. Miles is the one I'm really worried about.Quote:

We hung on to Miles. We're going to lose Hardy. 50/50 on Lockhart.
If we lose Hardy after losing Coleman and Henry-DT deserves to be fired before EOD. He has vastly under recruited that unit over two years and the sole reason he was brought back was to capitalize on the instate guys last year that all went to Ole Miss. I?m sick and tired of watching his DL play titty ball and gap contain with no pressure ever. Ever wonder why we have to have our DBs play zone and 20 off so much? Because our DL coach hasn?t produced a pass rusher.
Bring back Brian Baker or go get Bo Davis.
Anyone defending this staff is a loser, plain and simple
Hardy to SC. Fire all these mother17ers!
Hardy is a loss no doubt. But I do caution people to do something before we act like he was the second coming of Montez Sweat, he's not. Go look at the top JUCO players from last year and look up how much the contributed. The biggest contributor is number 16, Brylan Lanier. JUCO guys all need a year outside of D1 bouncebacks. Not saying Hardy isn't a loss because he is, but he is not irreplaceable. Just go get a portal guy. We always knew Hardy favored USCe. Hell they placed him at EMCC.Quote:

That is a big get.
Just a friendly reminder: kids that flip on signing day, rarely fulfill the expectations.,unless they just got last-minute offers, they are usually drama queens
Still think Turner is gonna pull quality out of portal? I?ve been saying it for two years now, he needs to go and should?ve never been brought back.Quote:

Everyone else can. The damn problem is that DL is our biggest need and Turner is the biggest recruiting anchor on this staff by a mile. He was the biggest recruiting anchor on the previous staff too, but we JUST HAD to have him.Quote:

Mullen gave him credit for that, but that was some Delta boosters and Tony who brought that one home.Quote:
