Maybe I missed something earlier, but USM announced that one of our juco OL commits Norman Price signed with them.
I wonder if he flipped or if we encouraged him to go elsewhere? Anybody have any insight?
Same story always seems to hold true... Juco recruiting is always odd
Steve Robertson says Price's girlfriend wanted to go to USM. Price visited last week without anyone knowing and liked it. His family wanted him to honor his commitment to MSU. His girlfriend wanted him to come to USM with her. His girlfriend won.
There is a valuable lesson in this. That stuff between a woman's legs has been leading men around for centuries, and it will continue.
When the "little head" is making the decisions that is the tell all! At least he gets to see early in the season what a horrendous decision the "little head" made!!
very well put. Those long practice and workout days are going to suck while losing the majority of the time.Quote:

I'm not worried about our guard position thanks to Clayborn and Justin Malone emerging. Beckwith is solid as well. Then we have Kent Flowers, maybe Jake Thomas although I think he ends up at tackle, and Damien Robinson has experience at guard as well.
Out of the Price and our other JUCO OT, was one clearly better than the other?Quote:

I'm not sure which one was better, but we need OT's. Based on that alone, I would probably take Johnson over Price.Quote:

Thought Price was an OT. Don't we have two JUCO OTs?Quote:

This is why i don't feel bad about Liggins situation.
A commitment means NOTHING to majority 17 year olds (20 years olds too)
Just means D Robinson needs / has to step up now..Quote:

Next year MS is loaded with prospects which means that some really good players will be only left with USM offers. Bank it and get that guy.
This is how I feel. This class has good pieces, but I feel its a big drop off from last year. The remainders left on the board just look like fillers. So, why not take full advantage of the 15' class and load up on good talent.Quote:

We will have plenty of room for next year under the actual signing rules. We could have technically signed 30 this year(5 EEs counting toward last class). Assuming we sign 22 this year -- with 3 EEs counting toward last year's class -- that leaves us the ability to sign 31 next year as long as 6 are EEs.Quote:

I know a guy who turned down a full ride scholarship to follow his girlfriend to another college and take out student loans. The romance fizzed out and now he is making a student loan monthly payment of over $900.00 per month. He said he regrets that dumb decision every month.Quote:

Lets me get this straight.
1. Wants to play in front of hundreds of fans, no tv, play in the CUSA
2. Miss out on the opportunity to play in the SEC.
3. The golden Era of MSU football. New stadium, new athletic facilities, etc.
4. Doing all of this because of a high school girlfriend!
5. miss out on Phi Mu, KD, ZTA, Chi O ladies.
Hey Numb Nuts they all have a monkey! Go back to your daddy's store in Tchula, Belzoni or wherever the hell you came from and grow a set of N U T S.
The hope for Norman is the love of a girlfriend will remain. Because, the attendance at The Rock will remain dismal along with wins.Quote:

Just because he didn't choose State doesn't mean he made the wrong decision. Don't trash him for it, however, leaving State holding the bag with a last minute flip is pretty sorry.
Seeing the breakdown and the list of seniors, at first glance, it's pretty scary, losing like 18 starters.... until you continue down the list.....
