I'm hearing that Paul's back flip post was not an accident. That is all I'm saying.

I'm hearing that Paul's back flip post was not an accident. That is all I'm saying.
I assume you are talking about pounders? He was forewarned when he told someone on our staff he loved oxford and didn't care for starkville, that we weren't going to take him back when he got ready to transfer. I assume that means we wouldn't take him back now. I wouldn't. He's ok but stillQuote:

As for Pounders? Eff him. He made his decision. He can live with it.
I?ll be interested to see if we take him back, He has apparently been pushed out by alleged bigger fish by the bears.Quote:

yall are insane. if a 17 year old got caught up in the drama of recruiting then gets it figured out (assuming he helps the team and we want him) you take himQuote:

But don’t be shocked if ET comes back for another season.. so this isn’t as big of a loss if this is the case
And I think he , along with Kobe and Spencer all 3 are back
Nabers is who we have to hang on to..it’s a battle
Unless there has been a MAJOR change in mind we won't take him backQuote:

I have heard different... we may not keep all 3 but wouldn’t be shocked if 2 of the 3 are backQuote:

mom can drive an hour to watch her son play.
Mom has to drive 7 plus to watch him play here.
If we keep Him, props to the staff they have recruited their asses off not just to him but to the whole Fam
I still think it’s good news come tomorrow
Really sad what Ole Miss did to Pounders.
Very shitty. Used the kid as Flip PR move .Quote:

I don't understand why a team would do that to someone even their rival?Quote:

Maybe they are looking past football.. come back get your masters for free
It won’t take any years off their pro career if they leave after the season or next year .. they will sign FA agent contracts anyway ... and try to stay in league as long as they can...
Again all 3 may not be back , all 3 may... I’m just telling everyone it’s a fact they are really considering it
Our kicker is coming back to get his MBA or something like that. These are the only cases I could see for it happening a 6th year type deal. Maybe Eiland and Sharp and Payton come back for a 5th year.Quote:

I'll be pumped if Ruiz comes back. Even though he missed one Saturday, he's the best kicker we've had in a long time. He's an NFL talent.Quote:

We'll see what the media does but I don't expect anything to become of it.
Yes- unfortunately drops happen. But at least in that case Dan and our staff helped him find another spot and we didn't try to stage some recruiting day flip and then say "never mind we don't have room after all- Merry Flipmas!"Quote:

Nobody is acting like that, calm down dude. He makes a fair point, every single year we are trying to hold onto recruits that are committed to us all damn yearQuote:
