Freeze is going after everyone apparently
Well yea.....I mean if your QBs were Peyton Thorne, Hank Brown, and Walker White you'd be offering every portal QB with a pulse. Funny story, they went hard after Shapen last year and thought they had him late. He almost committed to Hugh when he was at OM and they thought they had him the second time around.Quote:

FWIW, Jahron Manning is PFF's 15th highest graded safety this year. He had an 86.8 defensive grade.
Clev Lubin from Coastal Carolina is PFF's 18th highest graded edge player. he had an 86.1 defensive grade.
Chris Murray from Sam Houston State is PFF's 52nd highest graded edge player with a 78.8 defensive grade.
Nyjalik Kelly from UCF is 58th among edges. His grade is 78.4.
Travion Barnes is 40th among linebackers with a 78.8 grade.
I took him off the list. I think he's waiting for the official report before he does. I also think he's realizing he doesn't have as many suiters as he originally thought he did.Quote:

The problem, for him at least, is that if he returns then he knows we are going to low ball him because we can. If I were him and there was no doubt in my mind Jackson Arnold was coming, I would go to somewhere like Duke and put some good stuff on the film at the ACC level and then try to come back to the SEC, a la Maalik Murphy.Quote:

And not every alumnus will pay for players just to say Ha-ha "WE" beat you.Quote:

Doesnt change the fact the Duke fan base that is willing to donate will have more money than the MSU fan base that is willing to donate.Quote:

Duke fans only care about basketball. They just use football as something to watch until November. Their alum are going to put money towards basketball and not pay a football player that much.
Van Buren now officially in. I have added him back to the list.
Got to get Arnold! No screwing around. Go get your guy Lebby!
I don't think Lebby let's MVB walk without knowing he has Arnold.Quote:

That's the hope but Lebby can't stop it. Most of these kids are privileged now and until the NIL situation settles we'll have this.Quote:

Something big is expected tomorrow I believe. I saw where Robertson was planning on going to Mobile for MS/AL stuff and has cancelled his visit. If it was just Manning or one of the other ones he would still go.
Auburn is also bringing in like 5 other QBs. You people are acting like Arnold is the only QB they are targeting.Quote:

The whole point is why even take a chance on it affecting this recruitment. I assume he will get at least 900k from us, so 25k around 2.8% of his deal. Just seems it makes more sense to pay that for a shut down.Quote:
