There was never any truth that they were a package deal. We have just as much chance at Anderson now as we did before.

From someone who knows the SEC and comes from a football family, I sure have lost all faith in Lebby. The hires was so bad and him knowing Freeze would be interested in Aronld in the first place. He should have had that young man to visit a lot sooner and been on him like glue. All I heard was, we have the money to get him, if we really did, seems like from all the talk, Lebby would have landed him. Maybe I'm wrong, but to me he just doesn't have that it factor to get the major things done. Then he keeps the worst DC we ever had. This is not a good look at all I see from a head coach. But I love MSU and hope this class will bring things up steady and get better, he has got to do things different and fast.
Every school has portal problems, yes some have bigger issues but to say or think "we are Mississippi State" is old news. There are only around a dozen schools who want have much problem moving forward, but out of say 130 D1 schools, it's a huge problem with transfers, portal and NIL money. Free market for so called amateur sports is a joke now days!
I mean, we have six transfers, and probably getting 2 to 3 more today, and the portal has been open for five days. We are already night and day better on defense for next year just with the inclusion of Manning, Hibbler, and Sanders. We need to close on Barnes and Smith at linebacker. And we need at least one war daddy upfront that can be a plug-in play starter.
I would keep MVB. Not for a million dollars but.....keep his options open.
I would definitely take Kromenhoek over bringing MVB back.
So is that Murphy kid still going to AU? Wonder what he thinks about Hugh now?
