With the new juco ruling, can booth come back if he chooses?

Yes, ncaa has approved a year for all in that situation. But still gonna fight it in court for upcoming years is my understanding.

We should really be pushing to get him back then

Hearing rumblings that Kelly A would be interested but booth would take some persuading, why? I do not know.

He wants to play in the NFL. Shelf life of RBs is short. That being said he should come back and make more and get another year in college

Booth would go anywhere between a 6th round pick to a UDFA. He will get a shot to get a roster spot regardless

Maybe he should take another college pay day. There are a bunch of really good RBs that don't even get a shot in the nfl

If we get Booth I'm putting us at 7 wins.

[KB21]

Bothwell has elite contact balance.

[KOdawg1]

A RB room of Bothwell/Booth/Daniels is a really good RB room. Gotta find a way to talk Booth into staying.

Kelly A coming back would also be huge.

Need to lock up a really good slot receiver.

Let's not do this yet.

Yeah, I?d be happy with 4 wins next year.

[Cooterpoot]

Why? That should be a given year 2. OOC alone should be 3 no doubt and maybe 4.

I?m taking all factors into consideration. I have no idea how good of a coach he is, as the talent level was abysmal.

👆👆👆👆been a State fan for at least 40 years. Used to losing regularly. Had a crush on his 4th grade teacher. Still uses the C7 colored Christmas lights.

Pretty much missed the boat there, hoss.

We should be able to win at least three of our OOC games. We should treat Arizona State like it's the Super Bowl. I think we would have beaten them in Starkville last year. I think USM will be a lot better and they'll be fired up with the game in Hattiesburg. We need to come out strong so we don't get into trouble there. Northern Illinois obviously beat Notre Dame. If we win our four OOC games then all we have to do is find two SEC wins. With the talent we have added I think we're going to start to trend up for the first time since 2022 and I think at least two of the SEC teams on our schedule will trend down just playing the odds in my head.

Without question we have more talent on defense. Actually I have more questions now about the offense than defense but not going to panic about it until at least the middle of January. If things go the way that is expected based on the experts my biggest concerns are becoming slot WR and OL.

[Offshore Dawg]

So, which two SEC teams will State be better than that are on the schedule. Can't go out and pick the two worst.

[Cooterpoot]

USM is still a train wreck with leftovers from Marshall, NIU loses just about everybody, Alcorn LOL, ASU will lose a lot and being in the playoffs slows their portal roll a bit. Then you're basically looking at AR, MO, & OM as opportunities.
Get the right players and winning 4-6 is possible. Still a ways to go though, and assuming Hutz isn't the idiot he appeared to be

Mizzou will be whomever wants it more and Arky. Florida is still within the realm of being beaten.
