DT Juco. Found him.
I know many keep saying "we will be fine" when discussing our DT's. But let's be honest, we lose Grant Harris, Tre Brown, Braxton Hoyett, and Cory Thomas. Redshirt freshman James Jackson moved to OL. Obviously Simmons will probably leave early for the NFL. So Lee Autry is the only returning player who has taken any snaps (other than the allowed 4 games to redshirt). So assuming we don't move a defensive end to the inside, it could be Lee Autry lining up next to a freshman such as Crumedy or Lovett. I think defensive line depth is so important in this league. I'm all for throwing a JUCO DT body into the mix.
Yep. I said this a while backQuote:

I just don't see that, he's not built for that, he's a DE.Quote:

We've been spoiled by Fletcher Cox, Chris Jones, and Jeffrey Simmons all in a row basically. I can't see us rotating guys in and out like we did this year.Quote:

Pick, Lovett, Moore, Crumedy, etc should be a damn solid DT group going forward.Quote:

I wouldn't be shocked to see us get a grad transfer on the DL.
Baker is earning a good reputation that may be worth a solid prospect spending a year with to see if they can up their draft stock
Agree with this except for the grad transfer , we will use the juco route to fill any needs or better yet go after a Sweat / Rivers talent if availableQuote:

Arky getting a visit from Greg Brooks. He could flip.
Keonte Schad was here this past weekend.
De'Monte Russell visiting Ole Miss - Steve ain't worried.
18-19 kids on campus this weekend looking to complete this class
Emerson OV to MSU this weekend. He's scheduled to OV Miami the 15th.
Brooks has already OV to Arkansas he'll OV to MSU this weekend.
As we head into the homestretch before the early signing period who do we have to be worried about on flip watch? Are Emerson, Brooks and Russel the main ones we're a little concerned about or are there others?
