Good lord can people please STOP listening to Steve?! His only sources are Auburn people. Folks are up in arms over him saying Arnold has no more visits planned out. Smh
Sure wish we had a home basketball game tomorrow instead of in Tupelo.
He is going with the sources he has. Just like I am. I just do not believe Steve has any Mississippi State sources anymore, I also do not think he has any Arnold sources. I think it is just Auburn sources and then who he has cobbled together over the years, other beat writers. No national guys though.Quote:

Robbie is reporting that he isn?t either
Big picture here. Whether we get Arnold or Kromenhoek, they both are very talented QBs that we are in on. Kamario Taylor is the highest rated QB we have ever signed. Both of them were rated higher than Kamario. This is QB recruiting the likes of we have never seen at Mississippi State.
Heck, the backup option we are looking at, Deshawn Purdie, has offers from us, Florida, and Georgia. By backup option, he's being looked at as a backup.
Also, let's not forget that the issue with Blake Shapen is his health. The guy was completing almost 70% of his passes, and they weren't just dink and dunks. He was averaging 9.0 yards per attempt. He had thrown 8 TDs to 1 INT and didn't complete 4 games. The guy was on pace to throw for 3,300 yards and 25 TDs.
I feel great with shapen 2.0 if we have a back up. My main problem with shape is that we likly won’t have him full go in spring. We need our 1 full go for spring.
If Arnold is out, gotta hit on Luke Kromenhoek.
What’s your feel on whether we could get the FSU kid to bite?Quote:

You have to think after how poorly his first year went that playing in a system that has been very beneficial to a number of qbs would be the best thing for him in the long run.Quote:

2 imo. KT is super talented, but not enough to beat out JA in 2026 if he's our starter this year too. KT take over in 2027Quote:

Pollock to Texas Tech...shocked by no one
Gosh. Almost like we told everyone this when he went in. This is Darrell McBath and his hatred for us because he is a shitty coach, recruiter, evaluator, and we fired him.Quote:

Yep! When he first announced going into the portal. And look where he ended up. SMHQuote:

The Shapen injury thing is extremely overplayedQuote:

It really is. I am not saying he is iron man but we got people saying he would not make 3 games. Dude got very unlucky this year. It happens. Most likely scenario is he gets banged up and misses a game or two. Im not saying he is iron man, im saying the injury talk is hyperbole at this pointQuote:

That is the most meh film for a supposedly 5 star qb. Does not have much zip on throws. Several of them looked late and he does not look quick. I think most of these 5 star qbs get favoritism from the state they play in, what camps they go to, and who offers. If you compare his film to KTaylor its not even close to who has the bigger upside and skillsQuote:
