what would Bumphis know about running backs ? I'm not sure I'm seeing this correctlyQuote:

Did we even interview, or were we just lazy? Hope the'guy can recruit but the system should be able to recruit recievers.Quote:

Pretty shitty move 5 days before signing day. Especially considering we were ready to host him on an OV a day or two ago, and he's probably going to end up qualifying. You can't pull a move like this with an in-state kid.Quote:

There has to be more to the story. It makes zero sense that the staff suddenly came to this conclusion five days before signing day and executed swiftly. All their evaluations on him were in in December; why not drop him prior to the first signing day if you thought he was a borderline player and had reason not to take his signature at that point?
Somebody please DM me what happened here. I can?t believe we dropped that kid - at this late in the process - AND AT A POSITION OF NEED, with an instate kid that showed outQuote:

It is possible he can qualify but he is definitely not ?on track?. It is a looooooong shot. The staff did not lie to him. In fact they have consistently and openly encouraged him and his family to look at other schools. This did not blindside them. They knew this was a possibility and took the news much better than MSU message board posters did.
Thanks for the update.Quote:

His grades haven't magically tanked in 3 weeks since students returned to school. I don't have a problem with the decision to drop him. I have a problem with the timing of it. Because now our reputation is hurt in south MS. Whether some admit that or not.Quote:

A lot of schools stayed away from him because of his grades. You are correct, his grades did not magically tank in three weeks. If school ended in December he was not getting in and it was not even close. And that is with the improvement he had shown. On paper he could still qualify but if he basically needed a flawless final semester, then 3 weeks was enough to know that was not happening. Once again, this comes from the other side of the story so choose to believe whoever. Guess we will know when it is time to enroll.Quote:

Gtfoh acting like this will be an issue in 2 years let alone 2 months.
Idc if their side is even true. Welcome to the big leagues. The only people worried about that are borderline kids who won't move the needle at the top.
Juco is an excellent route to get the grades in order. One cannot risk signing one with questionable grades now.
If he was any good and from the coast, he would be going to LSU. Maybe he'll go to JSU snd let Coach Prime rescue him for some PR.
No.Quote:

Y'all are in spin mode, and I get it, but this is a terrible look and pretty much assures we won't be getting a kid from Biloxi any time soon. That's coming straight from a coach on staff at BHS.
I find it really hard to believe we kept the family in the dark and just unknowingly drop him on his ass at the last minute, especially when committed for so long. Use some common sense. It's not like him and his family didn't know he was a grade risk anyway. Sounds to me like we gave him his best chance at coming to the SEC and he just didn't improve enough to take a chance on. The grades are on the student. Period. Kids today should know schools can't sign guys in Feb hoping they make it to school because you can't risk losing that scholarship.Quote:

Don't have to use common sense. Just going off of what Steve Robertson, Paul Jones, and his coach at Biloxi have said. Think I'm gonna believe them over ED message board posters. Believe whatever you want to believe though.Quote:

If that?s the case, then our staff told him you can?t sign in December because of grades but you can sign in February because grades don?t matter then? According to Steve, Paul, and the Biloxi coach what did our staff tell Moss the reason was he could not sign in December?Quote:

This is where I’m at. Most of the coast schools have aligned themselves with LSU. We aren’t ever making in roads down there unfortunately. This is a big nothing burger.Quote:
