Does anyone else think we go after Luke Altmeyer in the offseason?
He has one year of eligibility left and is from Starkville, obvious former connections to the team through his Dad and he played for Lebby at Ole Miss.
Also and most importantly he seems to be playing well for Illinois.
Let Lebby determine that. gotta trust him
Who's to say Lebby didnt try last year and got turned down? Alot of kids get out of Mississippi and dont want to come back until they are much older.
If he did I wasn't aware.Quote:

I would look for us to take a QB in the portal based on what I was told today. Name I was told was interesting til I did some digging and there are some legs to it.
Speaking of Illinois, Fat Bert got them in the top 25.
And no, Altmeyer isn't coming back to MS.
I wouldn'tQuote:

If this QB that you?re talking about is injury prone, he can stay where he is at. I?m not interested in a Stevens,Costello or ShapenQuote:

I think Arnold has been pretty healthy for his career.Quote:

He hasn?t looked very good. But he is young so who knows….Quote:

Quinn Ewers will be available next year.
That will change with no offensive line.Quote:

The caveat: MVB absolutely balls out and we upset some teams in the last 8 games.
We would be foolish to hitch our wagon to Shapen again. He will get hurt again.
Jackson Arnold looks completely lost. Maybe Lebby can fix that.
I actually liked what I saw from MVB Saturday. He was playing within the offense. Let's see if he can get some quality work in without getting killed this year. I'm sure we will be in the portal regardless.
He's Lebby's boy. I think there's good football in there. I just don't think he and Venables, Littrell, and co. have ever meshed. Lebby is legitimately the only reason that Arnold is at OU in the first place. Like I said, I don't think Arnold would be handed the job. He would have to win it. Both MVB and Arnold are handpicked Lebby QBs. They will battle it out. I do think Arnold would win the job. I think he's a better QB, despite what we've seen in the Littrell system.Quote:

Assuming the rest of this season goes like the 1st four games, dont want to waste another year or two .
maybe we quietly touch base with Kyle Whittingham HC at Utah and make him an offer he cant refuse.....???
To leave his HC gig to become a DC??Quote:
