Well, ole miss shit in their lunch kit with the Pounders deal high school coaches all over this state will remember that!

High School players can add weight and even grow by the time they finish their 4-5 years in college. Harmon will do fine, a big physical body is an absolute weapon no matter how the foot speed time outs. Bear Wilson was slow, but could run a decent route and get in position to make plays....We will see about Harmon....
He was our 4th option at that spot and only got it because Johnson didn't have the grades. He's not an SEC WR. Had no P5 committable offers. Bear was 10 times the athlete.
Think we signed 3 or 4 guys that just aren't good enough and he's one. Hope he proves me wrong.
Gabe has already left the team??
Boy, that is a pretty severe criticism of Harmon when you say a guy with 4.9 speed is 10 times the athlete. The thing that made Bear a good WR at the college level was his body size and ability to shield off defenders and go get the ball. He was certainly not the greatest athlete.
IIRCC - Bear didn't even play football until his SR year in HS. So, he basically learned to play WR in the SEC. That takes a helluva athlete - regardless of his actual speed.
It makes me laugh at how differently our fans react to a 4* signee vs. our friends in Oxford - MSU: "he's really overrated, had no other 'committable' offers (even though 247 shows Texas, Oregon, OM and UGA)"; OM: "our 4*s are the greatest!!!!! They should really be 5* they are going to change the program!!!!"
So some bitch because we don’t have 85 man roster, then bitch because they speculate that some of the signing class won’t pan out..
when has more than 3/4 of a signing class ever gotten significant playing time .?
Who would have thought Ben Beckwith a walk on would have been as good as he was. On the the flip side Joe Morrow a high 4 star had less than a stellar career.
If some of these guys get here and aren’t moving up the depth chart or just aren’t SEC caliber guys odds are they will move on elsewhere sooner than later..
There is very little correlation between who fans are worried about on signing day and who ends up being important. I don't remember anything about B. Mckinney, but we all knew who CJ johnson was. Knew who Snoop or whatever his name was but didn't know who Kendrick Market was except they were teammates.
There's certainly some correlation. We all knew who Chris Jones was. Knew who AJ was. Knew who MOncrief was. Dak was a big deal (to us) as a recruit. But there are players like KJ Wright? Jonathan Banks? Don't remember a lot of discussion of them. And on the flipside everybody knew who the deaf defensive back was that flamed out at Ole Miss. Knew who the undersized WR/DB that orchestrated a flip (can't even come up with his name now), tobias singleton, etc.
The homesickness thing always gets me. People are obviously wired differently, but I still have trouble wrapping my mind around it.
When I got to Starkville, it was the greatest thing ever. It's not like most people in Mississippi are coming from these great towns or cities. I came from a relatively nice place for Mississippi. Had some advantages over Starkville and looks nicer, but it still generally was not and is not as good as Starkville. Even if you come from a nice place, it's not like your home town was going to have another, what, 4k other people your age going through the same experiences. I get missing family, but just surprising to me how many people actually go back home because of it considering how great college can be. Seems to happen disproportionately with athletes, which if it really does and it's not just more noticeable, that would I guess make some sense as 5am workouts may not seem like such a great replacement for family being near compared to making new friends shooting the shit and hanging out and drinking and chasing girls.
I don't know. He's like 30 minutes from Memphis and an hour from Ole Miss. Starkville is more like 2 and a half hours I think. Seems ridiculous but I knew people that went back home to the community college that was 20 minutes away from home because they were homesick in Starkville being an hour or an hour and a half away from home. And people that left MSU and Ole Miss to do a 30 to 45 minute commute to DSU because they were homesick.
