Jamonta Waller from Picayune hit the portal. He has done nothing since arriving at AU.
He got big money, I hope he saved it because it will be the last bag he gets, unless some team signs him for his 'potential'.

Hate to see Luke K gone. Hope he lands on his feet
Another kid that got lead astray by Lawrence Hopkins. The Hopkins total for kids he directed to OOS schools who are now in the portal is getting very large.Quote:

I couldn't get a straight answer but he does receive a cut.
We didn't want him last time. So doubt that changes.
A few of names to be on the lookout for early as the portal season gets OFFICIALLY underway in 9 days:
Kaden Helms- TE from Oklahoma. The tea leaves are reading Maroon on this one.
Jacob Sexton-OL from Oklahoma. He was recruited by Lebby and Loadholt at OU I believe
Malachi Breeland-OL from Memphis. We are making a hard push but are going to have to fight to win that recruitment.
Malcolm Hartzog- CB from Nebraska. Originally from Silver Creek, MS. Was really good for Nebraska his first 3 years but was a little banged up and took a RS this year. He is a little shorter than what we usually recruit at the DB position but I do believe he would be a take.
Have you heard anything about Chris Jones from USM coming to MSU?Quote:

Who is the portal player that is returning?
I see where for MSU commit Josiah Clemons is in the portal. I wonder if we would take him back?
Can he contribute major PT? Did he play any at Memphis?Quote:

MSU and Ole Miss need to lobby the State of Mississippi to set up regulation and oversight of these “agents”. It hurts both schools.Quote:

Auburn starting tackle Xavier Chaplin is entering the portal. He started all 12 games for Auburn. I hope State is ready to spend on these types of OL and DL players.
hope things really start to pick up by Friday.
There is mutual interest between us and FSU safety Edwin Joseph. There is a connection with Arnett.
I hope you?re right SVS. It would be nice to start seeing some positive portal movement.
You can?t see any portal movement until after the second. It?s literally not open. Everyone is just saying they are entering. Nobody is allowed to commit yet.
I know that BW, but I still like to hear about what could be happening behind the scenes!
Just wanted to make sure, brotha. Some of these people freak out over the wrong information lol. I think we’re going to do okay next year.Quote:

Spoke to Khalil Poteat. Sounds like he will be a dawg once the portal is officially open. He?s also looking to get a waiver for his 2 years of juco
He is visiting this weekend along with Justin Denson Jr from Michigan St. Those are the visitors so far. I expect we'll end up with 5-7 visitors this weekend.Quote:

A little off topic, but Biff Poggi is a guy I'd be trying to bring in as an analyst of some sort if I'm Lebby.
Update on Chris Jones, LB from USM. I would not expect him. He's being repped by Lawrence Hopkins.
i expect ole miss will be the destinationQuote:

Cam Coleman just hit the portal. My money says he is the highest paid non-QB in the portal this year.
He'll be the second highest paid WR behind Jeremiah Smith next year. The rest of the country just better hope they aren't on the same team.Quote:
