Maybe we moved on? he kept us on hold waiting for Kansas offer. The Kansas offer never came.
I've always been a little concerned about getting him because he's been waiting so long to commit to us. Some of the "insiders" were pretty confident we would get him but who knows at this point.
Kansas has been full for 2 weeks.
If we moved on, we dumbQuote:

Has Jans had any face to faces with this guy? Are we in a dead period at this time? Do we need Ben back in a Crootin Advisory roll?
ETA: Now see he's from Columbia. 17.
Why I looked at us as an underdog from the start. I think us being in it speaks volumes about JansQuote:

Jans did say that Ben did stay around and help out with alot of things when he initially got to State. For whatever reason Ben had a hard time coaching our guys, but he didn't have a hard time recruiting top talent. I have a feeling we are going to miss that.Quote:

Mosley gone to Mizzou
Obviously this is a huge loss. Disappointing. Not sure why we couldn't close the deal. Mizzou was never mentioned until recently.
That stingsQuote:

All signs point to being at or above the "Mullen Median" in football though.Quote:

Of the four it looks like Eric Reed may be the best scorer. Maybe DJ Jeffries can step up and be that lead guy but he hasn't impressed me yet..
We were in it on Brooks. He was the PF was alluding to the other day. The staff thought they had him coming for a visit, but obviously that didn't happen.
We needed a true scorer. We still dont have that
No we don't, we've always had guys like Molinar, DJ Stewart, Tyson Carter, Nick Weatherspoon, Q Weatherspoon, Lamar Peters, Dee Bost, Jamont Gordon the list goes on... We don't have that type of guy on this teamQuote:

Yea I figured it was Brooks or Akot but with all due respect getting Brooks wouldn't have made us SEC contenders.. we need perimeter scoring more than anything right nowQuote:

But we are going to need somebody to step up and be something they haven?t been offensively to this point.
