I know for a 100% fact that we offered Nixon after he had already visited South Carolina. So that's what I'm referring too. I'm not knocking the staff too bad on losing him b/c it does seem like we put forth a lot of effort here.Quote:

No idea on Avery... not surprising on Hayes though. Georgia losing both tacklesQuote:

I would certainly consider it now.Quote:

Steve says Ole Miss probably gonna try hard to flip James Jackson last minute.
Losing him and Avery on Wednesday would suck
James Jackson is a ng in a 3-4 defense. Why would he even entertain flipping? SheeshQuote:

Or here's a novel idea- another JUCO OT as a back-up plan? Which they should have been doing the whole time.Quote:

Right side is a little iffy but Story looked OK when he played. We can use our TE's on the right side to help Thomas and Eiland/Moon out as well. Not having Holloway next year will help as well since Aeris and Lee can gets YAC.
