Stewart Reese is in the portal

[MaroonFlounder]

The rumors were true.

Peace out. Let’s go, Lashley!

Tell us what you think shotgun

I think it's horseshit & clear tampering that can't be proven.

I also think the quarantine is really doing a number on us due to kids sitting at home.

I wish there was some recourse as this doesn't feel right IMO

The fact that the Florida message board moderators knew so much more about this than our people is ridiculous & shows clear tampering.

A SR starter just walked out on his teammates.

If anyone says the MSU company line "I understand" then 17 you. It's ridiculous

OK Gun ... I'm starting to come around to your train of thought .... How many Seniors that were 3 year starters have transferred in the past ... for ANY school. I'm sure it's happened before but there has to be a heck of a reason ... I don't know if Mullen is sticking it to us or if the guy just wants out or if Florida boosters are behind this but this absolutely stinks ..... can we make him sit a year ?

He's a grad transfer I believe.

It's these types of situations that makes the free transfer policy the NCAA is considering impossible.

Everyone understands when players transfer for playing time reasons, but not this type of reason. The two schools should have to agree on the transfer & I can't imagine MSU would agree to this.

While it does suck, it is NOT a clear case of tampering. Reese graduated already and he CAN talk to anyone. He just could have dialed Dan, said I want to come down and play with my brother and you.

Then, Florida 24/7 could easily find out he reached out to Dan.

You hit on several spots.

1) Total BS that this can happen.

[ShotgunDawg]

The rumors were true.

Or course they were. They usually are no matter how hard the 247 guys deny them.

Oh well, we'll be fine.

Selfishly, it's crazy to me that the SEC allows this in conference, but the rules are the rules.

[HancockCountyDog]

That sucks.

[MaroonFlounder]

I was told Reese didn't like Hevesy, but I guess he's willing to deal with that to play in his home state with his brother.

[ZedFedder]

Yeah, this is a loop in the process. No way to prove anything, but you can bet Mullen communicated with him through the little brother.

Absolutely he did.

the kid sat in on MSU position Zoom calls every day while telling the Florida staff he was transferring.

Just absurd. Even the Florida 247 writers mentioned that they were worried about tampering here

yet again though, I fully expect our admin to roll over & do nothing while a blue blood just steals a starting player.

If this situation were in reverse, would Florida call foul?

[ShotgunDawg]

We have got the nicest fans in the world & I just can't bring myself to get on board with that attitude.

Have a competitive bone in your body...

[KOdawg1]

I will say this extended time at home does everyone no favors. A lot of these kids are stuck in the house with dads, uncles, and cousins who get in their ear and fill it with nonsense.

Not saying that's what happened with Reese at all, bc he has ties to Florida

[ShotgunDawg]

the big beneficiary to this is Scott Lashely. There's probably a party in West Point today

I hate to loose Reese's experience, but maybe Lashely is more talented.

May not do anyone any favors but a situation like this is way, way worse for schools with a brand new coaching staff. I'm sure our players like having the name
'Leach' as their new HC but they don't know him or the staff. They are pretty much strangers to our players. Reese going to Florida sets him up with a staff he is familiar with, playing with his brother, and likely a much better chance to play in an SEC championship game than we have in the West with Bama and others. Florida fans have been talking about this potential transfer as far back as last October so I think this has been in the works for a long time and our change in coaches just likely sealed the deal.

Awe.... here we go an Mittittippi Tate "I understand" guy

Good grief Shotgun, if you've read my posts you know I'm far from a poor ol' MSU guy. I was just trying to put out there Reese's probable thinking given our coaching staff is brand new here with no real relationship with the players while he has a brother and his former coaching staff down there. I'm certainly not OK with it but not much you can do with a guy who has already graduated. And yes, it is still much easier to win the East than the West. That is just a fact.

[ShotgunDawg]

Does open us up for another grad transfer?

I need to see who replaces him before deciding if it helps or hurts us
