The latest news on Brooks is not encouraging.
Can key play cb now that we getting fields? Haha... laughing to not cry. Big blow to our defense esp with all the WRs coming into the west this year and lastQuote:

Brutal. I realize it's not all T Buck's fault, but this is a bad look for him.Quote:

Tbuck has had some trouble closing the deal lately on the CB targets. Finishing second a lot
Esp with us fielding an elite defense with draft picks coming up. Ark was a disasterQuote:

You should not be out recruiting us on a kid from Louisiana right now. Personally, I think you guys are starting to buy players. Your program sucks & you shouldn't be recruiting like you are.Quote:

Absolutely absurd what this kid is doing.
And FWIW, he has friends on MSU's roster as well.Quote:

That said I’m not sure how good Brooks even is over replacement value
Recruit the hell out of Mississippi kids. That's all
Couldn't even get in the game with half of themQuote:

If they were buying players why would they pay 3 stars and not pay 4 and 5 stars?Quote:

It's likely that we just handed you guys a problem.
Or how about an entire boardQuote:

So Paul CB'd hall to auburn. Losing brooks, hall, and James. Anything unexpected good likely to happen or all bad?
I mean, we've been pretty good for a while & you guys have been pretty shitty for a while. It's highly likely that Brooks doesn't play his entire career for Morris.Quote:

You guys are easily the worst program in the SEC right now with a drug dealer on team carrying around an AR15, & you want to tell me that it's short sighted to think that program may not be as good as one that has been to 9 straight bowl games?
I understand your an Arkansas fan & are trying to see things through WPS glasses, which we do as well, but just look at your logic.
As we saw with Ole Miss, bad programs don't just jump up & start recruiting well unless BS is going on.
I'm not sure that there's any room left for anything good to happen.Quote:

What is it going to take to start recruiting better?
What can we do?
I've got a feeling signing day is going to feel exactly like the 2018 season.Quote:

Are we recruiting better?Quote:

So, somehow, we've got to get kids & families that are attracted to flashy things to sign with us.
Let it play out. See what happens tomorrow and then how it finishes in February. This staff is going to get the players, be patient.
That's the big thing. We are going to sign some talented guys tomorrow and hopefully more in February. But this is the most talented in state group in a long time. If we were ever going to be top 15, this was the year.Quote:
