It's a "may pop" tire; seen all over the great state of MS....Quote:

I would take that finish in a damn heartbeat. Mingo would be really big for us...we desperately need a real deal WR that isn't a question mark out of Juco...Mingo would be that guy. Ealy would be unreal for our ranking, and if we somehow got him to campus would be one of our biggest signees ever I'd guess. What percentage would you put on him going to school if he signs with us?Quote:

Sanguinetti too.

On Ealy same as if he signs with Clemson 1%.Quote:

Of course fans won't immediate gratification but with just over a week til signing day most of these kids are going to just wait & announce then even though their choices have been made.Quote:

In other words, I get what you're saying, but why is that our plan and why have we struggled closing the deal with DB's this year?Quote:

That would be quite impressiveQuote:

I'm sure for every 1 I may get wrong I'm sure I'll be stoned.Quote:

We just gotta be able to sell the idea that he was never going to play for the same coach his whole time and see if we can sell the school and some relationships with other players. Probably isn't enough but it's all we got leftQuote:

Wasn't there talk of a Georgia visit? Is he gonna visit there or anywhere this week?Quote:

I have no inside knowledge but nothing really leads me to believe UGA is a real factorQuote:

Yep, they weren't supposed to be a factor for Emery either until he visited and committed. No, it didn't last but at this point we are only a week from signing day. Georgia is pulling out all the stops these days in recruiting.Quote:

Byron has the flu. West Jones had over 100 kids out Thursday and Friday last week with it. That was legitQuote:

UGA would have been a factor to Mingo had they not put him as a backup plan. He didnt like it. Last I heard he was taking a visit though but I dont think he leaves the state
I will be surprised if he takes a visit to UGA. No telling with all of the pressure he's under though.
