They got beat 66-3 by UGA. Even getting some of their opt outs back, they could not have crossed the 50 against Michigan. They were a house of cards being held up by a really good QB and a great defense.Quote:

The Lewis kid will probably be brought in to compete for a ROSTER spot in the spring.
Ugh. Mike Wright might have been the worst QB I have ever seen at MSU since the Croom eraQuote:

The guys they are taking looks like he is gearing up more for 26 than 25. Akin to what he did in 22 when he loaded up for 23.Quote:

Their home games are USCe, Arkansas, Florida, and LSU. They have to travel to UK, UGA, OU, and us. That looks a lot touchier now than it would have looked in October. I see them between 7-9 wins.Quote:

They are ranked #2 in the portal rankings which does not account for HS rankings, but actual transfer rankings. You can disagree with me but you are disagreeing with a lot of others as well. They are doing a killer job and it?s okay to admit they?re doing way better than we are. That?s how we get better at this, see where we can improve.Quote:

I saw him today on TV and I was like "we need THAT guy."Quote:

That said, I think the most important thing is that we fill our needs. If we do that we should be in good shape and we can close the gap with smart moves.
Both of us essentially are completely replacing our teams from last year. For different reasons. But still.Quote:

All I said is they are killing it. Which they are.Quote:

He's going to have a make a move, because I think his classmates Ricky Johnson and Sanfrisco Magee are clearly ahead of him, and he's got incoming freshmen Davian Jackson, Isaiah Mitchell, Gracin Harris, and Anson Lewis to compete with now.Quote:
