State would fit that mold. Or maybe he just doesn't like Kirby's hardcore coaching. Who knows. State at least has an in, so that's better than nothing.
I?ve got some ocean front property in Arizona for anyone who thought he was actually coming here. OSU or Okie.
I mean, I don't think it's crazy to think he might consider us since he has the Moorhead connection, we're in the SEC, and he would almost certainly start from day 1. But if it were anything more than a longshot there would probably be more smoke out there on the Internet.Quote:

I'm waiting on the 'cruit-gurus to weigh in before I get excited.
What say ye, Ari and IYOK?
Until we hear MSU come out of his mouth this is nothing more than a pipe dream based on a recruiting connection. Hell he decommitted while Moorhead was still at Penn State.
I'm with you. I do give Moorhead credit for going after these guys.Quote:

I'm going back to basketball. Our women have a huge game tonight.
While he would be competing with Martell, Martell was ranked 56 nationally in 2017 class.Quote:

Meanwhile, here's SDS's take on best destinations for Fields: https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/ge...inations-2018/
SDS....That makes me feel worse about it.*Quote:

SI doesn't list us as one of eight potential destinations
We couldn't beat Missouri out for a much lesser transfer. I just don't see how we could land one of the best. I really wanna be wrong thoughQuote:

SDS did say Bryant to Missouri, and this whole board said they weren't a credible source
We just don't know the relationship Moorhead & Huff had with Fields. We also don't know how Fields has matured over the past year.Quote:

Point is, we simply don't know Moorhead & Field's relationship. Moorhead may be Fields' "comfort zone" & simply the guy he wants to play for now that things have turned sideways for him.
Fair enough. I'm just not getting my hopes up bc I'm not sure I've ever seen us win a battle like this on an OOS kid.Quote:

Not that I know of.Quote:

Lol man we were just as much in it for Bryant as Arkansas and Auburn.Quote:
