He didn't believe in it but understood it was the way of the future. I had a conversation with Mike on that in July of 22. He railed on it for about 15 minutes on how stupid it was and finished it with, "But if we don't, I'll have to win with little Timmy Sanders who runs at 5.8 and has the hand eye coordination of a blind 17 nun. And even I can't win with that little"Quote:

Thanks for updating the thread and putting it in context.Quote:

Do you think we have a chance? I've been told we have moved on. I appreciate the effort, but we have other holes to fill.Quote:

The vast majority that have found a home have really stepped down a level or two from the SEC. About ten have landed nowhere to date. This is a real indictment of our poor evaluation, recruiting, or just taking warm bodies for a practice squad for about the last three years.
No. Both sides have moved on.Quote:

I gotta admit, I didn't expect most of our OL to sign with Mizzou and or Bama.
So we lose:
Owens - Mizzou
James - Bama
Work - Mizzou
Jimothy - Cal
We gain
Dent
Matthews
Prudhomme
Nash
McVay
Miller
Chester
Sneh
No clue how this will work out, but the OL market must be rough out there if Bama and Mizzou are signing our OL.
Caleb Unger just committed! That's 2027 IOL 4 star
From MRA?? He?s a 3 star
An update on Seaton from Matt Moscona:
Seaton is leaning towards Oregon.
How you should read this is: "Seaton isn't coming to LSU. I don't really care where he goes so I'll just go with the team that was mentioned after us."
We're still in this thing. Do I think we get it across the finish line? 50/50. But we're in it.
Did he ever actually visit Oregon? Or did Lanning just visit him?Quote:

State was his favorite visit, but Lebby had to guarantee 10 wins and a playoff spot to get his signature!😂😂😂Quote:

They scored 37 PPG on offense and 21 PPG on defense and won 11 regular season. So if we can improve our numbers to 35/25 I could definitely see us getting 9-10.
And I was curious because of where we are now relative to Kiffin at Ole Miss in 2021- they averaged 34 PPG on offense and 24 on defense. They won 9 games that year.
Well I thought the comment that next year's defense was one player away being compared to the 2018 defense would be the worst take on this board, yet here we go.Quote:

I am hoping that we can win 6-7 games next year.
There is noway to know without playing the game. We all know that. However, we also know what we accomplished with this offense and an extremely bad OL. Any improvement to the OL should result in more wins so long as there is no drop off at QB. I personally think that KT will continue to improve. With a better OL, our run game gets better.Quote:

When you combine that with an overall better defense, we should win more.
On Seaton, getting him puts our OL close to being elite over all. Still remains to be seen on what he is going to do, but I do like where we are.
I know a better OL wins you Tennessee and Texas. I suspect a better OL wins you Florida as well because you just run it at the end. That's 8 and all that takes is an average line because we should've won all those games with a god awful line.Quote:

That 30 PPG stat is about as real as pixie dust. We may have scored 30 in a few games, but by October/November the offense was just as bad as the defense.Quote:

On Defense, we allowed 30.2 per game. Arnett’s defenses in Starkville consistently hovered around the top 5 in the SEC, rarely allowing more than 24 points per game. The projection is that we will allow 25.4 per SEC game. 14 in non conference.
He shared with me. I'm sure he will share with you too.Quote:

We could not score vs wake forest or Toledo when it mattered. It?s a trend
