When does portal close?
Signing day is February 4th right?
The portal closed the 16th. We have until February 2nd I think to sign players because of MSU's add/drop date.Quote:

As a school president you can't completely alienate boosters because you need their money.
I can tell you for a fact that Keenum did not want to hire Cohen as AD. Arnett? Pretty sure it was framed to Keenum as we had "no choice" but to hire him. That was a lie.
How are things looking with Seaton? Any word?

No one will know what Seaton is thinking until he commits. There is no connected to him within MSU to speak otherwise. He's on a visit to LSU at the moment.Quote:

Funding makes the world go around. I know this is a hard concept for you simpleton 17ers to understand. Now back to the portal instead of ignorance.Quote:

That is why I truly think it comes down to us and Miami. Cristobal is a former OL and always has strong OLs and we are coached by a former OL and his old position coach at Colorado. We have a couple of edges over them. First, we play in the SEC which scouts value. Second, he will be the key to our OL. If they look good he will get the pub. At Miami he will be just another cog.Quote:

We have been known since forever ago to let others outbid us. Even if we don't get him, if we are a top 3 bidder then that's a big win and a step in the right direction imo. And as other have said, Mississippi State has been posted on every major recruiting outlet since he came to visit. Keep doing this and some chips will eventually fall our way.Quote:

Overpaying here is good imo. Maybe there will be a day where we don't have to overpay if we can get some good seasons rolling along.. but that day isn't now.Quote:

He got it back which was great but that started a lot of doubt in high ranking individualsQuote:
