We getting all excited about the QB transfer

[BeardoMSU]

Here is where the lie starts. We have plenty of people here talking 8-9 wins next year. The “Easy schedule” mantra has been thrown out. Hell- even a couple of people talking about Bama being in play next year because of Leach. Very few of us are being realistic and talking 6 wins. Most here are saying 8 wins. Nobody is talking about “taking lumps” next year

To be fair, it's just a few posters calling their shots in regards to 8-9+ wins in '20.....the vast majority of peeps are just excited for what the future holds and assume we'll be be better because of 1) we've got Leach, and 2) we've booted Joe.

When is Costello expected to be here for visit?

When is Costello expected to be here for visit?

He got here around 6:00 earlier this evening I believe. That’s when he was expected to get into town.

[Todd4State]

When is Costello expected to be here for visit?

He's here now. Hopefully all goes well.

[msudawg1200]

Does Costello have anymore visits planned, or can we expect a decision this weekend?

Again, you're singling out a select few when the vast majority is being more realistic

That's what he does. Seems like the majority on this thread are realist, but he'll simply ignore us because of a select few that fit his agenda.

KT has NO chance in this offense as a QB. We all know it, so whatever he decides to do is fine with me but I fully expect him to leave. Believe he graduates in May anyway. This offense is all about passing decisions and passing accuracy. Those are just not things KT does well. He needs a QB run heavy, one read offense more in line with what Mullen runs.

I think he moves to receiver.

I personally never expect to steal one like AU or A&M. I expect 6 wins but wouldn't be surprised at 5,7, or 8. I would be very surprised with 9 or more. There is always a chance that the personnel and the SEC being tough causes a transition year to be bumpy. No one knows how our WRs will take to the Air Raid so it is a total wild card.

Yep. And if schrader is mature, he sees this as the best chance he has to being a NFL QB. If he doesn't wanna work and/or gets his feelings hurt over an incoming grad transfer (when he'd still have 2-3 years left as a potential starter after 2020), then he's not mature enough for us to plan on being a part of the future.

I have no good idea if Shrader can succeed in this offense or not but I believe if he is willing to work on his passing motion he can. But he, Mayden and Rogers get all the reps this Spring if we get Costello because Costello wouldn't even get here until the Summer. Spring ball should do plenty to show Leach and Shrader if this is going to work for him. With Mayden I have no clue because I haven't seen him play enough to form my own opinion.

I don't know, coach. I've seen more than a few say Leach should get us back to a bowl this year and that should be the goal. You have the usual handful talking SEC championship next year but let them live their dream. The majority on here are realists and realize it will take a year to get where we need to be with Leach's offense. I feel 8 wins would be our absolute ceiling next year and Leach would be performing way beyond what should be expected with the current roster. I think 7 wins is more probable and that 6 wins would be our floor next season.

I agree. I had picked 5-7 before the coaching change. I’m now thinking 7-5.

[dawgday166]

I think 7-5 but will also add I think we have a WTF loss ... but also a WTF win (upset).

[99jc]

I picked 8-9 wins with the bowl game and I'm sticking to it. 17 the negative Nancy's.

Personally, I think our wide receivers are our Achilles heel and could cause our lead-the-nation-in-passing plans to implode. There?s still time to find some that can perform in this offense, bit at this point I?m not excited about our prospects.

I think they'll get a lot better. Simplified offense from a WR standpoint and Leach will train the hell out them on catching the football.

I'm going to be very interested to see how they develop. I'm hopeful that improved S&C, more opportunities to go around, and a scheme with shorter and more high percentage routes yields surprising results.

It's not just S&C. It's also how he trains them to where catching the ball becomes 2nd nature to them. Maybe that's the C part of S&C but I kind consider it separate.

Who really cares if a few fans want to believe we could win 8-9 games. Whatever we do this fall is almost assuredly better than what we would have done with Moorhead. At least I don't think Leach will put a team out there that is Charmin soft.

100% agree we are better of than we were with JoVester
