Can we purge some of the terrible, defeatist, cynical posters off this board?Quote:

At this point, keeping Pickering and James are more of a priority than getting Moore back. Would also love to get Plumlee and Mingo, but plumlee isn't saying much and Mingo is probably OM bound. Just keep the ones we have and avoid a major disaster.
I would think Collin Duncan is ours. So if we can add Duncan to Pickering, then get Walker, Cunningham, and Payton, that would be pretty strong and I think a reasonable close for us. Top 20. Add Plumlee to that and it's very strong. Add any of Mingo, Young, Moore, James, and that would be quite impressive.
Auburn just lost their bagman to GT

Keeping what we have- losing Emerson- and getting Duncan isn't going to get us in the top 25 much less top 20.Quote:

So with all of that taken into consideration, I would have to almost guarantee that keeping everyone we have now except swapping Duncan for Emerson would land us Top 25., especially considering we are sitting at 23 right now after having lost Moore.Quote:

A lot of folks are disappointed right now but if everything ended today we would be Top 25. That very rarely happens to us.
Ehhh... I don't know. Mullen's 8 classes (threw out first and last) avg'd out at 28. He was in top 25 4 of the 8. This crop of talent in Mississippi this year is far superior to any of those 8 years. Also keep in mind 3 of the last 4 of those classes were at the absolute height of OM cheating. Moorhead hasn't had to deal with that, yetQuote:
