Do we realistically think that a QB in the SEC can play both football and basketball at a high level, without taking away from one or the other? Man, we get in some bad situations with our QB recruiting.Quote:

If we try to hammer another round peg into a square hole, Mullen deserves to be fired. Holloway is the kind of mismatch guy teams dream of having.

There are plenty of others, I just cant think of any offhand. His basketball will suffer more than football.Quote:

Not worried about this a bit
Excellent excellent write up, Steve, as always. Thank you for this. We may not have a ton of signees this class...but I have a feeling it will be a star studded group.Quote:

Price you pay chasing dual threat QB'sQuote:

I'd be willing to bet that Mullen shares that sentiment. But he has learned that MS does not produce a whole lot of D1 QB's and that its not easy to attract talented out of state QB's to Starkville.....fortunately, he has accepted the fact that he will have to make some concessions like this.Quote:
