Someone on staff there told me last year that Smith will be at OM unless he gets a bama offer. Fast forward to two weeks ago he said they really have no idea now because State has made him a huge priority. If signing day were today I would say 60% chance he is in maroon.Quote:

I'm being told the bears have cooled on him, which is great news for us. The kid is a difference maker i'm told.Quote:

I concur.Quote:

I’ll be somewhat surprised if that worksQuote:

Do we have any hope of a top 25 class? Thanks.Quote:

It is what it is. My guess is that we are going to hold spots for the portal, and if covid seniors want to come back. We still are limited by the 85 limit.Quote:

Just how many good players are uncommitted? Is NIL hurting us a lot? We are currently ranked 39 on 24/7 and with my non-coach background, I could count only 6 or so teams ahead of us that we should pass if we match or exceed our average player ranking of 87.25 which is where we are now. Hope we are strong on some players we fans don't know about and "what's available" are some diamonds in the rough we turn into very good players.Quote:
