He may be referring to a recent tweet by Stonka on twitter showing a thinking emoji after a recent visit by Lane. There is a 20 post thread regarding this on sixpackspeak. Long way to December, but we are down to 15 commits, 42nd in the nation, last in the sec even behind Vanderbilt. As for our new staff cleaning up Mississippi, we now have 8 from the state which includes one juco player.Quote:

His recruiting is crap and his coaching is miles worse.
You ain't seen nothing yet.Quote:

The portal should be where you go if you need instant impact older guys.
The impact portal guys are simply very expensive and we have needs everywhere on the field.Quote:

I don't think going to the JUCO route is a good idea, but I think CZA is feeling the pressure and knows he won't be given the time to rebuild.
Yeah I don't get going JUCO heavy in this portal era.Quote:

It?s Sheppard. Needless to say but State is his only P5 offer.
Funny how several on this board use to complain about Mullen?s recruiting calling him lazy, etc. we know have a structure where we are offering every Juco product with no P5 offers in the world of the portal. Our recruiting is literally dead last and y?all think that?s going to fix things going forward?
I know nothing about the kid so I'm not going to trash him.
Here is what I do know, by my count we have the following DL coming back next season:
Trevion Williams - coming back after a season ending injury
Kalvin Dinkins - coming back after injury sidelined him for a large portion of season
Donterry Russell - Has shown flashes in pass rushing opportunities still light
Deonte Anderson - Has shown flashes, needs more reps
Ty Cooper - Hasn't shown anything
Caleb Bryant - Hasn't shown anything
Jonathan Davis - Hasn't shown anything
Eric Taylor - Hasn't shown anything
Gabe Moore - Hasn't shown anything
That is it. That is everything we have returning on the DL for next season. I don't think we can be that choosy when it comes to DL that have the physical ability to play DL next year. Even if it is just for depth purposes, we need capable bodies.
Just looking through that depressed me.
It's not but he only has one other.Quote:

Kid sat on our offer til he got better offers. Just like everybody we're recruiting. We can't even get kids to visit.Quote:

LOL! You have to consider the "source" though. haha.Quote:

I like him ok. He played out of position at EMCC some and Plays hard.Quote:

Any insiders know anything?
Less than no chance
He was a freshman All American at Maryland and his dad played in the NFL. At this point you better go get this guy who's playing well this season.Quote:

Breaking News! with our latest 2 JUCO commits, we have moved up to #39 in the rankings only one spot behind that SEC East powerhouse, Vandy!** Seriously, our average per player average, .8804, is better than 13 teams ranked ahead of us, but we have only 17 commits. Big question, how many good, uncommitted players are still out there that this staff can get? Also, can we evaluate and afford a better portal class this time? Only about one of our last portal class has made a difference and I can't think who it is at this time.
No portal guys are coming to this train wreck. People can forget that. We'll go grab up some bench warmers and the UAB QB.
Money talks, I keep hearing that we will have some money to spend. If we do, we will land some players.Quote:

Don?t know much about the kid, but #5 for Murrah HS is a dang stud at DT
Who is coming to this? Lame duck coaches and maybe a 4 win season? Unless we make a change we won't sign much.Quote:
