While I agree that it would have been best to RS him, this was one of the impacts of the Tutor 10. We had to sacrifice a couple of RS this season in areas where it hurts.

With how bad we were on ST it really stings that's essentially why we wasted his RS. Could've thrown me out there with the same results

Y'all obviously dug a little deeper on Witherspoon than i did. I withdraw what I said regarding him. My point stands on the rest as far as taking advantage of the 4 game rule and overall management of the freshmen. Thanks for pointing out my error. That makes me feel a little better...but not much.

Try not to post inaccurate info. Your point is still valid but it's not as bad as I originally thought.

Good management there. We could have put KT in the game for that snap.

I see now that he played special teams.

Slo Mo or any coach we have should have a GA or a staff analyst to monitor and report to the HC the games played and the RS status of all our guys who are eligible. The coach and staff should have a plan to maximize the advantage to the player and the team. I'm not a coach, but that just makes sense.

Yeah we do that every week. Moorhead mentioned it specifically in multiple interviews during the course of the season. Talked about green guys, yellow guys, and red guys.

Given our recent success with JUCO receivers, if it happens I?m not going to spill any tears. I want him in this class but it is what it is if not.

Where you getting that from? And is it to SC or Florida?... that’d be a huge loss. We’re needing him to come in and help immediately. We’re screwed at WR next season if he doesn’t even sign with us in the first place. We’d already be leaning on him to be a stud next season. Have you heard something?

I haven't heard anything. He's come across my timeline on Twitter and his tweets from family are good luck and do what's best for you. That's uncertainty to me. Florida is a real threat with a legitimate passing offense established. We're still sputtering.

I talked to one of his teammates at CoLin about a month ago who is pretty close with Malik and he said he was going to Florida. Who knows though guess we will find out tomorrow

Would be kind of comical in a 10 year recruitment, Ravian Pierce kind of way.

Following recruits twitters leading up to signing trying to get a read is impossible. That being said I looked as well and saw him RT an MSU signing day tweet and tag Boobie in another. I wouldn’t look too much into it

Fans in general shouldn't read too much into any recruit or player's tweets.

Oh, and bothrops, 18 of our 21 commits are from miss or play juco in miss, so if this is a down year in miss, we screwed

How is it an upgrade you ask...because we wouldn't have our 2 highest rated guys signing tomorrow if Mullen was here, that's just for starters.

Josaih Hayes from Horn Lake surprisingly signs with Kentucky. He wasn't ever coming to State, so good to see the Rebels lose out on this one.

Kentucky got 3 four star players in like two days.

Here is where probation is about to rear it’s head for the shit bags at OM .. Lack of depth esp at the DL position , transfers from previous classes and lack of overall talent on defense ..
Good luck Freshwater...you better score a shit ton of points the next 2 years...

E Jai screwed himself by decommitting back in the spring. He'll go G5.

Alex has grade issues. Juco

Good find. Possibly

Hopefully we can sign Alex Adams.

To me he's a no risk situation since, if you sign him and can get him eligible then that's a big win for you.

If you sign him & he has to go JUCO, then you still have the scholly to get a grad transfer in the Summer

He would only count against the 26 number for this class if he wound up not qualifying and having to go JUCO, correct?

We've got 22 right now, so 4 left to spare. Need an OLB and 1-2 more OL. That leaves us 1-2 spots left to use in the class.

Sign him and use one of those spots and pray he gets eligible because he's a really solid WR and like you've said today, that's the spot you can/have to take risks at.

I would assume there's going to be some attrition to the roster to make sure we're at/below 83 with maybe a spot or 2 to use for like a grad transfer. Then go get either an immediate impact grad transfer at WR (especially if Adams weren't to qualify in this scenario) or Safety.

Sounds like he's been seriously considering re-committing to us & I'd definitely take him and just pray he finds a way to get eligible.

Definitely sign him as our 26th signee.
