I don’t want MVB back. But just to clarify, did that ship sail when Shapen agrees to come back?
The ship sailed with what he was asking. The price was around 1.5 or so that was told I had also heard it was 1.1. But regardless another thing I heard was he wanted to be guaranteed the starting position for two years. You just can’t be held hostage like that in today’s game.Quote:

Why? We have that in Shapen alreadyQuote:

I’d appreciate ANY and ALL thoughts and insight.
Cheers
Luke K. Is on campus. Hopefully he commits todayQuote:

Truth is hitting on a QB is more than just tools. The ones that succeed in the SEC outside of the Bama and GA where the surrounding talent are excellent tend to be very mobile and have a very strong competitive drive that makes up for lack of elite tools. You just have to find the right fit to scheme as well. That's the thing we can't judge on message boards or from highlight videos. You need to find that guy that doesn't slide two yards short on a 3rd down, can inspire the team around him to play above their level and just basically refuse to lose.
I have no idea of the mentality of JA or the other guys we are after, but I hope we find someone that can elevate the team around them and be a playmaker.
IMO, Murphy has accuracy issues. He?s physically talented but would be like Joe Milton in this offense.
So?.when are things picking up with big time transfers???***
The truth hurts. We have some ?good people? in our program but not good negotiators or good strategist. We have money but are so far behind on recruitment planning and strategy implementation that it?s embarrassing.
I?m afraid there are some good people on this board that mean well but they are being used as mouthpieces without their knowledge. Truth is, we will sign some transfers but it won?t be earth shattering. Hope Lebby can work with it.
He is very injury prone. Once he gets hurt again now we're in the exact same situation as we were this year.Quote:

Where can we see the list of visitors for today and tomorrow?
While I've been pretty hard on Lebby, I don't see what he could have done better with the QB situation in Arnold. Dan lost Cam to damn Gene Chizik. We can't beat out anyone for a QB unless it's a Mississippi kid.Quote:

If Shapen coming back is an issue with getting another QB then I almost wish he wasn't coming back. No way Shapen will last the season. He has never lasted more than 4 or 5 games in any season he's played.Quote:
