Going to be flipping some burgersQuote:

I mean did we not make it a priority to try to get kids to come? WTH?
Why did we do it on a Thursday night and not a Friday?
Falls during the first week of practice for a lot of kids.Quote:

Yeah. Maybe earlier in July? Like a week after the Fourth? I figure some players families go out of town for the holiday so in my mind that makes the week after less likely that they would travel?Quote:

Has about 20 Blue Blood offers. Can read his profile by googling Bradley Shaw 24/7. Only one my friend told me about. There is an article about his reaction to the cookout visit on genespage but it is a paid article.Quote:

What turn of events was that? Thought he was ready to make it happen for us any day now??Quote:

Rumor is OM. We need a real good season, at least 8-4 in my opinion, to finish strong in recruiting. There are so many highly ranked MS HS players that are committed OOS and it will be even more difficult to flip any (NIL-$$$$) if we have a mediocre (6-6 poor or 7-5 which probably means 3-5 in SEC) season. Next year will also be a very big rebuild.Quote:

Heard we may only take one more HS player unless a flip or game changer and save last slots for portal/JC as 2024 will be a total rebuild with some plug and play types needed. Hail State!
might be crowded if Stonka and JJ are as good as advertised
I think we have done really well in the high school class considering how much money is being thrown around in the state. The numbers i'm hearing for the Picayune kids is just shocking.Quote:

I don't think LSU is involved. In the NIL era, i don't count anyone out or in the bag until the papers are signed. Even then, he may only be here a year.Quote:

freeze I would doubt is paying jack. but yellow wood is a different story.Quote:

I think we have a good shot at Oatis and Vaughn for the class of 2025. With Hibbler and Carter in the 2024 class and Bryant, Moore, Head, and Davis in the 2023 class we're fine as long as we don't whiff on the 2025 class.Quote:

I think we go portal heavy this off-season. The front seven, we can?t wait a year or two to develop DL.Quote:
