Well shit. Indians getting an early start.
link wont let me read without subscribing ... what happened to Arrington & Bohanna ... & who were the freshmen ?
meh... all that was pretty much expected.
Durr, Peirce, and harris... Bohanna and dee are both still recovering.Quote:

Bohanna still hasn't recovered from his two concussions last year. Arrington has a hamstring and it still hasn't recovered. Those things can be pesky and definitely affect people in different ways. Can be weeks or months. The freshmen are Harris and Durr who both have enrolled in JUCO, and Pierce, who I think is still working to get eligible but won't be on the 105 man. I would love him to make it because it sounds like he's been putting in a ton of work.Quote:

Does this in any way affect how many we can sign this year? Because seems to me that our numbers are getting tight. Looks like all five will retain their potential spots with the team
This is all 100% expected. Bohanna will probably never play again, and I would probably say the same for Dee. Jordan Harris we've known wasn't going to make it since Mullen said as much on NSD. Durr we've known for a while as well. Pierce was never expected to make it but he's worked hard and has given himself a chance.
Agreed. This was all expected. Anyone that frequents this board has seen this mentioned multiple times.
We will sign 31-32, this doesn't really affect that.Quote:

If my math is correct, it should mean that we get to add two spots to this year's class.Quote:

Yep, not a big deal. Bohanna & Dee are probably done. It sucks, but it's been talked about a lot since last fall. Definitely knew Harris & Durr weren't making it. Pierce will be close, so we'll see. We'll place Harris & Durr in all likelihood and re-sign them in '17. Same for Pierce if he winds up not making it. No need to freak out or blame the Dead Indians yet.Quote:

There's also Cooper that's bordering on qualifying or not.
I'm still sick that Samuel is gone. He was a good one.
Yes, and Bonner is a completely uninformed media member as well. Considering his story is factually inaccurate because Harris and Durr have already enrolled in juco.Quote:

Bonner is one guy. No one guy is going to be more informed than the collective knowledge of 1,800 Elitedawgs.
What was Harris's deal and Durr's deal. I remember Pierce (the TE that we picked up out of Florida that was a known grade risk from the beginning).
What about Harris and Durr? Saw Harris was an OL. Hate to lose any OL but were they highly thought of? And are they going JUCO for sure or still trying to get eligible?
I think we've known for quite some time both of them were JUCO-bound.Quote:

He doesn't know this, I do.
He is reporting on this way behind me. Wouldn't you expect the MSU beat writer for the largest newspaper in Mississippi to be better at reporting news than me.
Here I discuss Bohanna and Dee not returning: http://maroonandwhitenation.com/2014...el-longer-msu/
Here I discuss Harris and Durr going Juco, and Pierce's situation, plus Bohanna and Dee: http://maroonandwhitenation.com/2014...-cleared-play/
There are plenty more I just can't remember when I wrote about those guys.
Both are 100% surefire JUCO.Quote:

So is it still a sit and wait thing on Cooper? He seems to be the one guy that nobody knows whether he will be in or out.
Do we think Harris has any real commitment to State? Or will we basically be on a level playing field with everybody else in two years?Quote:

Yea, apparently this just transpired. But per Steve, he is now enrolled at PRCC and was set to begin workouts yesterday.Quote:

We still have the risk that he will go somewhere else and we also lose two years of eligibility (and also end up with a guy that will run out of eligiblity when he's 22 rather than 23, and the OL is the area where that extra year of development seems to be the most important).Quote:
