I could see Branden Jennings playing middle linebacker and if that is the case that is an upgrade IMO. Way more athletic and physical player IMO.Quote:

Keep saying it can't get worse, and it probably can't, but no guarantee its any better either.Quote:

Not sure on that 100% but he is supposed to visit this weekend which makes me assume he has one.Quote:

Mayberry is apparently leaning towards us because of Phil Loadholt's connections with the NFL.
He's been offered and I would expect he commits pretty quickly. Rumor is that he already verbally committed to Loadholt when he got the offer.
It sounds like based on Lebby's interview with Rosebowl that we are going to finish up this week with Mayberry and another o-lineman (Ohio State guy?) and then go after a CB in the spring portal.
When I did my depth chart post a couple of days ago that makes a lot of sense to me. It also makes sense knowing we fired Cody Kennedy too as far as the timing on how this is playing out.
Sounds like they are going to see how Lewis, Brumfield and Jefferson look at CB in the spring and then adjust if needed.
DeCarlos Nicholson in the portal. I heard we are interested in bringing him back from somewhat reliable sources.
Why waste our time on this? He couldn’t start for a bad team beforeQuote:

Is he a sure fire starter at one of the interior spots?
Sure fire? No.Quote:

He, Jacoby Jackson, and Ramil if he doesn't win a tackle spot will probably battle it out at LG.
Albert Reese, Luke Work, the Juco guys, and then maybe Mayberry if he doesn't win LG will factor in at RG.
"We'll be looking at about 15 players to bring in from the portal." Currently at 25 guys and counting lol. #MSU15WasRight
Yes. He's started 28 gamesQuote:

I wouldn't say he's a sure starter, but with a new OL coach he's got a better shotQuote:

We're supposed to get a visit this weekend from an OT that played for Ohio State.Quote:

I can almost guarantee he will end up at UNLV. Big Stew had a good relationship with Dan and transferred to Florida after he graduated here. And David committed to Dan out of HS.Quote:

I think we are done until spring. I think we are completely done at WR unless a good one falls in our lap. OT/CB will be in the spring.
What’s the freaking deal with kids demanding starting spots? Lazy ass chumps! Get out there and earn it man!! I just don’t get this thinking!! You tell him he’s going to start and I bet he doesn’t work as hard!!Quote:

weird how that happens
Raydar doesn't have any eligibility left unless he can prove that he had an injury in either of the last 2 seasons that prevented him from playing in more than 4 games.Quote:
