Very good get - glad to have him on board.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

He couldn?t handle the big city lights of Starkville?

[CaptainObvious]

I wonder if all these people were saying the same thing when Jonathan Banks was planning on leaving after the first week due to homesickness.

He?s homesick, it happens to most people, some worst then others. He?s supposed to be in HS still and the adjustment is even bigger with every class on Zoom.

Wait. Johnthan Banks was from East Webster wasn?t he? If so, how would you get home sick for Mathiston when it is 18 miles down the road and you can put you feet under mommas table in 20 minutes?

I was always amazed at people being homesick and leaving starkville every chance they got to go spend the weekend in whatever crappy town they were from, but people are just wired differently. I knew of a few girls my freshman year that more or less abandoned their dorm room to live at home in Starkville. I think most of them ended up more or less integrating themselves into school, but not sure what they would have done if they lived 40 minutes away. I assume one or more of them would have ended up going home and leaving school and one or more would have ended up sucking it up through the homesickness and eventually loving it. But since they were right there, they to different extents had basically hybrid freshman year experiences, sort of living like they were at home, and sort of getting the college freshman experience.

It could very well be Momma having more trouble with the separation than the kid. There was a mother from my kids school who travelled 3.5 hours every weekend to go wash her sons clothes while he was at college.

I’ll help Daniel Greeks mom do his laundry

Gabe isn't likely coming back.

[Westdawg]

Gabe isn't likely coming back.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but from what I can gather - he's still taking some online classes through MSU. I was told that coaches believe he's going to come back.

I hope Gabe the best, regardless of his decision

80% not coming back. Things can change, but that's where it's at right now.

I feel like most of the kids that go home and come back do it fairly quickly. They realize they made a mistake and want to come back once they have had time to cool off. This kid has been gone for a couple of weeks and still isn’t back. It will be a pleasant surprise if he changes course but I’m like you and not expecting it. Our DB coach has caught the brunt of the wrath of the fans but the OL coach better hit on these projects. That is the most important part of our offense and we were not good up front last year.

The OL wasn't bad. It was the Qb play that took so long to settle and get rid of the ball along with decision making.

Um what? The OL was terrible. They got better as the season went on, but they were consistently getting beat by 3 down DL. If there are only 3 rushing, then you should be able to double team two of them. Not making excuses for KJ and Will bc they needed to get the ball out quicker but when 3 players whoop 5, it's hard to do that.

The linemen's play got better the moment the Qbs did. Ironic huh?

I guess it's just a coincidence that the lineman got better because they swapped them around and did different combos until they found the 5 that worked together best.

Playing the best 5 will always make a difference.

They absolutely go hand in hand. I don't deny that. But to say "the OL wasn't bad" is just incorrect.

[Dawgfan77]

If a kid can't take the off season workouts he won't make it during summer and fall camp. He won't be back. It hurts us this cycle cause we can't replace that ship until December

OL play was bad all year long. Especially Center and RT.
