Trey Benson seems to be infatuated with Oregon....I know, I know it's a long way from home. I'm not in the know but it doesn't appear that we lead for anyone.

I think we lead for Benson & lead for Marks although not a huge lead. FSU really likes Marks but they also like 3-4 other RB just as much.

Man I hope you are right, getting those two would be fantastic!

I thought Mingo was pretty close with Rogers, too. Guess he was closer to the Ole Miss coaching staff.

Tell me something good about Benson...is he faster than he appears on film? I watched some footage and don't get all the rave.

I don't fault the staff for missing on every RB for 2019. Ealy had a ton of people that were pushing OM in his orbit. But I tend to believe the main reason we didn't get one of our main RB targets is for the same reason we can't get a high profile transfer these days.

How was he ever a lock for us though? Jackson Prep. Committed to Ole Miss for over a year?

He ran a 4.49 Laser time 40 at the New Orleans Regionals. Also won RB MVP there.

I like how Benson is built too. I prefer Kylin Hill/Aeris sized running backs. Or actually built like JJ Johnson but those are very rare.

We have a regular DT transfer coming in who's hoping to get cleared immediately & we still expect to get a grad transfer DT as well.

He was and still is. We were playing catch up with Mingo from day 1 when Mullen offered him as a safety. By the end of it there wasnt much more we could have done within the rules

Right. How long had JoMo had the MSU job before Ealy committed to OM? 1 month? 2?

If what the 24/7 people are saying about Mingo choosing Ole Miss because he knew their WR coach better I can understand and buy that. However Mingo turns out it just feels like we completely dropped the ball there. Basically it feels like how we recruit Madison Central players.

At least a month.

Now that the last class is over hopefully the stench of Dan and Country Club recruiting is completely gone with it.

I'm guessing we go after the Vanderbilt DT in the transfer portal and I found it interesting that the guy from Rice is still in it.
