Yes, anyone that has starting experience probably starts with us. The others will battle it out and become starters for us imo.Quote:

At this point it?s really not possible to know 100% that they can hang a season in the SEC. But what we had last year was terrible so be happy. We?ve gotten some solid looking players.Quote:

I very seriously doubt Booth is back. He seems intent on wanting to pursue the next chapter.Quote:

the draft or maybe get a judge to issue an additional year of playing time in college
Is Whitson close to a decision?
Announcing tomorrowQuote:

That is true. I would not be surprised if we had one or two more jump in the portal today.Quote:

Well that sucks. Assume Isaac Smith has got to be one, can?t imagine what other players are worth getting. Maybe Stone?
Also, why can?t we report the tampering? Does nobody actually care to enforce it even tho it?s a rule?
We're doing the same thing. Errrrbody is doing it.Quote:

However, once it started I wanted complete chaos and anarchy as much as possible to destroy this model as soon as possible. That's the only way out of this mess at this point.Quote:

Wow that's huge. Instant starter for us. Prob the first one out of the portal, right? Maybe Fluff and Smith?Quote:

Thompson "starting" is a stretch. He'll be in rotational but he's got one talent. Speed. His best case scenario is Kevin Coleman's output. Best case. I'd be pleasantly surprised if we got that.Quote:

It gives us the 3rd Silly Season to be anxious over.Quote:

Is Whitson official or what?
Just waiting for him to announceQuote:
