We need to keep Brian Baker at all costs.

He's a good guy and a good coach. I agree. Again, it like the others we lost, it won't be bc of money. Never is.

While I wouldn't turn Plumlee down i'd be more fired up if he showed a legitimate interest in other positions and wanted to turn into Edleman or something. Right now he seems to want to play QB and I don't think he thinks we give him the best chance to that. But he did commit to GA which gave him almost no shot to do that so who knows what he's thinking.

My best completely uneducated guess right now is he drinks the OM kool-aid, lasts a year and transfers to USM

He wants to play qb. I get it. He won't here, at ole miss and certainly not Georgia, IMO. But, you give him a shot, and he's a good enough athlete he can play elsewhere. It's a sales job at all three at this point. Hope we get him though

[Cooterpoot]

Plumlee will never be a full time QB if he plays baseball. Just impossible to miss that much practice time. He could do it at USM maybe. He’ll get a shot, but it won’t take long if he plays baseball.

He will absolutely play it at OM and be given a shot at all 3. You are stupid if you dont let him try because he is a baller. But I could see OM giving him more time because he would be just like Rich Rod has had in the past. The QB they signed from TX isnt very good so Plumlee would have to beat Corral and thats it

[Bothrops]

Ole Miss will get Mingo and probably Plumlee. Young visiting LSU has me less than confident with him. If we don't go ahead and offer Lawrence, we're stupid. I say that because he actually wants to be here, and maybe we can find something he does well. We sign Pickering and get one transfer and we done.

[Cooterpoot]

Lawrence couldn’t play at USM. He’s terrible. Doesn’t have a position and didn’t do anything in HS ball.

[BankerDog]

When they hired Rich Rod it put them in better shape with him. I dont think thats close to a done deal though

I've heard it's close to being one. However, I did hear that Plumlee suffered two concussions this year and many feel like he won't be playing football very long.

Maybe we could give him Wayne Manniqian's old job.

We've signed far worse. You could at least get some decent special teams out of him.

No we haven’t. Not knowing that they would never really contribute.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wouldn't a good WR be better suited to play in JoMo's system over RR's?

Whoa.......that is clear as day. Don't bring facts into a recruiting discussion.

[bulldawg28]

Lol... you guys melting over highschool projection players is hilarious.

[BankerDog]

Alec Murphy, Eric Lawson, Kendell Jones, Joey Trapp. That?s off the top of my head.

He?s close to McKinley Johnson, he?s 6?5 and can run a little. You can make use of that. Especially when I use to read how to comments on this board about how we should be signing buddies of top prospects to have a shot at them.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

He turned town Mullen for their DL coach opening. He is far and away my favorite coach that we have.

Other than Trapp, who was signed for depth only, the rest were expected to contribute. They weren’t signed as an unrated athlete knowing they wouldn’t contribute. He will have zero input in Jackson’s recruiting. Jackson marches to his own drum. He’s going to AL barring something crazy. Lots of AL pull on him.

[Cooterpoot]

We allowed too many kids to drag out recruiting. We should’ve had good plans and gone ahead and offered kids after some of these kids didn’t sign at the early date. You only let the high end guys hang on and do that. Emerson, James, Washington, and maybe even Moore (because Lockhart was rising) should’ve already had their spots filled.

[msstate7]

So how many guys we expecting to sign?
