Steve has alluded to this on here with regards to Jackson Arnold, but I saw where Steve Robertson said that he's heard from agency folks that people are watching his recruitment, and that he will bring players with him.
Well let’s say you found a diamond in the rough type player like Javonnie Gibson at UAPB. Do you really want it getting back to Auburn, South Carolina, or Ole Miss and drive the price up.Quote:

I’m good with Thursday night, no need for him to stay the night in Reverend Hughes vicinity.
What if you are offering multiple high profile players at the same position? And do you really want rivals to know who all and how much you are offering...Quote:

We know why they are bringing in several portal WRs now. This is the first loss that really stinks.
That’s a bummer
Lebby may not make it unless he has some solutions....Quote:

Mizzou has won 20 games last two seasons. We live in a what have you done for me recently society. In his eyes he just went from the doormat of the SEC to a chance to compete for a playoff spot next season.Quote:

Hope this doesn't affect Arnold.
So who are we thinking could be a potential replacement for Coleman. Hate losing him, but have to think that should be one of the easier positions for Lebby to recruit.
I'll take your word on this situation.Quote:

Also- I question someone?s manhood who goes to a school that passes you up out of high school and last years transfer portal. First Zavion and then Coleman and to an extent-Craver.
We're so screwed. When we have to worry about mid-SEC teams taking our stars, I can't see a path back.
You forgot they also passed him up when he left JSU to go to Louisville.Quote:

Dude it's a 17 receiver. We put a more than competitive offer to Coleman and had him. Mizzou came in and offered him a chance to go home. There are 75 Kevin Coleman's in the portal AT THIS MOMENT and there's 25 entering every day. This is not a big deal.Quote:

This offense creates 65/850/5 TDs like the wishbone creates 1000 yd rushers. And if we didn't have a QB who only knew how to throw a deep ball it would've created more this past year.Quote:

75 more out there, huh?
Was our cash offer same as theirs? I understand you can?t compete with someone wanting to go home but hopefully we did not get outbid.Quote:

This isn't Craver, this is most likely a first team pre-season ALL SEC WR next year.
Yeah realistically there are 5-6 and my guess is we do not get one. Anderson seems to be the best guy we?re on and I would not say he is Coleman level (yet).Quote:

Yea. Makai Polk was 17/183/2 the year before he was 105/1036/9. There were 100 Makai Polk's in the portal that year. We almost ended up with another until some transfer rule got in the way. Offenses make receivers 99% of the time. Only elite HOF level receivers make offenses.Quote:
