I firmly believe if Baker had stayed Young is likely a DawgQuote:

I'm going to say no on Ealy because he was committed to Ole Miss while Huff was our coach.Quote:

More than anything- I think we just had some shitty luck with certain things. Mainly talking about Charles Moore and just kind of everything else than one particular coach leaving.
If we don't get Moore I will be a bit ticked. Last week I was fine with not caring where he went because it sure appeared it definitely wouldn't be MSU. But if he wasn't going to come back in the fold I really don't understand pulling our coaches back in on him. Seems a large part of our staff spent most of last Thursday in Louisville with him and then hosted him this past Sunday in Starkville. That would be a lot of time wasted if he doesn't sign that we could have been spending elsewhere. Maybe he will sign with us in the end but if he pulled us back in again just to drop us again I will not be amused at the situation.Quote:

At the end of the day none of that matters.....the wins and losses are all on Moorhead, he either signs the recruits or he doesn?t, he either wins the games or he doesn?t...by noon tomorrow his first full year is in the books ...8-5 and a top ?? recruiting classQuote:

Mingo would be one hell of a pull. Moorhead should get major props if it works out. Need Moore to go with him
If we get the ones expected to sign tomorrow and add Mingo and Moore then I think we should all give Moorhead and staff a big pat on the back. That's about as good as we could have expected things to go. Heck, if we just get the expected ones plus Mingo I would not be unhappy.Quote:
