Malik Murphy has been rpm to Auburn by On3.

What is the confidence on it?? There is some smoke coming out that he will commit before leaving tomorrow so this follows that. I said yesterday I was still 50/50 the Auburn visit even happened for Arnold.

[Bothrops]

Maybe Auburn can get Murphy and Arnold.

Arnold will not visit if Murphy commits.

Dude it's a 17 receiver. We put a more than competitive offer to Coleman and had him. Mizzou came in and offered him a chance to go home. There are 75 Kevin Coleman's in the portal AT THIS MOMENT and there's 25 entering every day. This is not a big deal.

Yeah it?s fun to say all we have to do is this or that to rebound until we don?t do any of it.

Yes it?s possible we replace him but also 100% just as possible we don?t. Now we have to start all the way over basically on a WR1 HOPING we can get an impact player who can come in on day one and fill the role of someone who was proven in this system and ready for a big year. And that will just get us back to where we were before Coleman dipped.

Watch Moneyball. It's the same principle. What it comes down to is finding someone or someones that can match production. Can we find someone that can get 900+ yards of receiving and 6 TD's out of the portal? IF we improve the QB position and the offensive line- VERY possible.

Lolz. Yeah... the concept isn't hard to understand. MSU's execution is the problem.


We still likely have to wait 3-4 games (maybe more) into the season for things to gel for a player like DT. IF we even get him. How do you recoup that?

[Dawgology]

Losing our two best receivers and our QB to the portal is clown show level bad. That is all

Is there a timeline today on when we will know if Arnold takes the visit or not?

I suspect if no news of Murphy committing he's going to visit Auburn.

Assume he is unless you hear something about Murphy. Let me go ahead and get this out there though, HE IS STILL COMING HERE AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. We have known about the Auburn stuff since he entered. They are paying QBs to visit.

[confucius say]

During lebby's career, how many times did he lose his top receiver that had eligibility?

ETA... BTW, 3 of those 5 are nfl guys, so they weren't just any bodies that could be easily replaced. Coleman is yet TBD

Every year it's been a new WR. Doesn't matter whether it's because of eligibility expiring or they transfer or get hurt, he's replaced the prior year's WR production.

Gave any of those guys done in anything in the nfl, or are they like Moore and got to the NFL because of college production in Lebby's offense and then never did anything in the nfl? I don't know.

Receivers are receivers. If you don?t get Arnold then losing MVB is bad. If you do, it?s a wash. We?re not Ole Miss. we aren?t losing production off of a 9-3 or 10-2 team. Of course we wanted to keep Coleman, but him and MVB won us 0 games. I don?t care how you spin about the defense was this bad, blah, blah, blah. MVB could not throw a slant, had poor pocket presence and his best game was against Georgia, which he regressed after. We were boat raced by a middling, at best, Arkansas team. If everyone left and I mean EVERYONE it could likely not be worse than this year. Arizona state basically replaced their entire team and is now in a playoff. The sky is not falling. We?re just behind the 8 ball because of stupid decisions from Cohen and Keenum. It will be fine.

If it's only for the money, why would he not visit once Murphy commits....

When I heard that, that is when I realized he ain't locked up. You guys saying he is are crazy. Their is still a good chance he comes here. But it ain't 90%.

Davis 5 seasons: 2,969 yds, 29 td (2nd contract)
Moore 4 seasons: 2,105 yds, 9 td (will get 2nd cont)
Mims rookie: 267 yds, 2 td

Down playing every wr to give Lebby all the credit is strange. These guys are good players, and so is Coleman. Lebby has certainly proven to be a good OC also.

He?s saying he?s still gonna visit unless Murphy commits to them

[msstate7]

That sounds like more than just for money then. If it's for the money, visit anyway, right?

[KB21]

The poor ole's are trying to convince themselves that we aren't really in it for Arnold because we are Mississippi State. We can't possibly get a QB of this caliber to come here no matter what his relationship with Jeff Lebby is.

We're certainly in it. Some of us also realize it isn't a sure thing until he commits/signs/whatever

They would not need to pay him at that point. They have their QB. Visit would be cancelled by them, not Jackson.
