Rumor Mill Friday: 3 things I am hearing today...

[DeviousDawg]

These may not be true, but this is atleast what I am hearing from trusted sources.

1. Charlie Strong is a legitimate candidate for DC and is interested. Would be a huge hire by all accounts.
2. Don?t be surprised if you see Felipe Franks take a visit to Mississippi State soon, not sure how I feel about it but I?m hearing Franks at MSU in 2020 is a real possibility.
3. KT will be playing for MSU next year, at Wide Receiver...

Like I said, none of these rumors are 100% for sure, but they are all legitimate possibilities, so take it for what it?s worth.

Happy Maroon Friday, it?s a new age for Mississippi State Football.

If we're interested in a QB transfer, I'd call KJ Costello up too.

[TNDawg35]

Is this one of those Social Media companies saying this to gauge fan interest****

[BeardoMSU]

How would Strong compare with Shoop or Grantham? Also, how is his recruiting?

I would expect he gets a call too, but I am hearing real smoke around Franks, competition can only make us stronger.

What I really wanna see is a couple of grad transfer WR and/or underclassman WR transfers(sit a year).

Also I would be very surprised if we do not see a little roster turnover, primarily on the offensive side. Either way, Leach will make for with what he has, its what he does.

I think all 3 are great DC’s, Strong may be the best recruiter. I think he would be a great compliment to Leach.

Franks have 1 year to play?

Im not sure how to feel about Strong and Im def out on Franks. He is not an Air Raid QB

Dan told Leach about franks. Yes there is real interest on both sides

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't see Franks as an upgrade over what Leach can do with Shrader or one of the guys already here

He's not.

No offense but if Dan Mullen recommends Franks should tutor under Leach and Leach sees potential I will go with what they think. That's two legit QB gurus.

[Quaoarsking]

Does KT have a history playing WR, or is he just looking at the depth chart and the scheme and thinking he can be a star?

Yeah, not sure if I am for it, but who knows, maybe its a perfect translation and he is the next Minshew. You really just never know, but if Mullen thinks it is a good fit, and Leach thinks it is a good fit, then I will trust them on that. Worse thing that could happen is he is not any better than what we have and becomes one of the best and most experienced back up QBs in the country. I don’t think any promises will be made, Franks can’t help but look at our QB board and our new air raid coach and wanna give it a shot.

[ShotgunDawg]

You in the meeting typing as he speaks?

[HoopsDawg]

Not sure on Franks but we don't have a backup QB right now unless we count the true freshman.

I certainly think that every transfer QB is going to be knocking down the door to come play for Leach. That's for damn sure so we'll probably hear a bunch of these rumors

Mayden?

[starkvegasdawg]

I don't believe a word of this until Bert comes in and posts the opposite.

Not any real history, no, but the tools and potential must be there, and the want to, not many QBs would want to make that switch, even though it could be a good opportunity. KT was never gonna be a NFL QB, and he knows that. Why transfer to Southeast Louisiana and play QB in a bunch of games no one even knew were being played when u have a chance to play WR under Leach and possibly get a look from some NFL teams if things work out. Nothing to lose on our end or his.
