I assume this is who you were referring to in the other thread?

Question is, will he visit?

Avery / Gay both very good
Abrams will come down to last few days for juco December guys.. He really likes his ex def coach Pruitt at Bama.

Brian Cole.. Safety at EMCC was a 4 star out of high school and signed with Michigan
Dante Wigley .. CB at Holmes. Former Ga Tech signee..

2 names to watch next few weeks.. Both December guys ..

We offered Wigley back in the spring but Cole name is starting to make the rounds. This is his 1st season playing full time DB. He played WR at Michigan.

So...far into the future question but if Ole Miss does get hit with heavy penalties are there any guys from there that would want to transfer here? Some really nice players from that 2016 class.

Kids aren't always allowed to transfer when sanctions hit & when they are allowed it's usually only upperclassmen. I wouldn't bet on any of the 2016 guys just being allowed to walk with no problems.

I feel like a good Christian man like Freeze would let his people go.

Post season bans seem to help...

So is it just a foregone conclusion that we have zero shot at Cam Akers?

Just hasn't been interested. It's not clear but my guess right now would be LSU.

We haven't been in it for 2 years. Sad we don't at least have a relationship with him.

A staff without JH coaching in 2017 would equal a roster with Saahdiq Charles..

I hope we start hitting TN hard. I don't think Butch Jones is going to be around much longer.

Having coached in TN, there's just not a ton of top level talent there. That's why TN has to be able to recruit nationally. There lots of mid major talent, but not a lot of P5 talent. Don't get me wrong there's some good ones there, but outside of west TN and a little of Nashville area, MSU doesn't have much of a footprint to draw from interest-wise, either.
