Wasn't Williams visiting today?

[Todd4State]

I'm pretty sure it is Williams

Not a fan of that low TE target %

[Pancho]

I agree that the TE can add much to this scheme

[Todd4State]

Eh. TE's are typically secondary targets in most progressions. Low TE volume probably either means that their first progressions were often open which is a good thing or their TE may not have been elite.

Who is visiting today? looks like everyone north of a line from clarksdale to tupelo has 4-6" of snow up this way.

I don't think we have anyone visiting today. I think we're probably done with visits for this cycle unless someone pops up. I know there's a lineman from Ohio St that Robertson has mentioned multiple times. If they were to lose tonight, we probably could get him on a visit next week.

Could be like Penn State and have no catches at all by a WR in a semifinal playoff game. Every catch was a TE or RB

I honestly could not believe that when I saw the stat. That insane you can go an entire game, where your QB threw the ball 23 times and completed 15, and not throw one time to a WR

[RockyDog]

And whenever we lose out on a Qb or WR recruit we have a small segment of the fanbase that throws their hands up and says let’s go to the dadgum triple option!!

That would just be an amazing strategy to ignore half of offensive football in the toughest league there is.

Sounds like something you would hear from Croom to be honest with you.

Definitely would trade places with them right now.

As I was told yesterday and now confirmed by Robertson, Williams is not going to visit UNLV. From what I was told, he wanted to go just to visit Vegas but his parents shut it down. They want to get him moved to Starkville, settled, and be ready for the first team meeting on Jan 20th.


I would expect we hear something from him before the end of the day. A nice job by Bumphis on this one. Been working on this kid since October....ALLEDGEDLY.....because we would never tamper.

[Chuck3124]

BANG!!!!! Let?s goooooo Ayden williams makes it officially official!

[KB21]

One down. One more WR to go.

[Offshore Dawg]

Is this an old miss spy plant ??

[StarkVegasSteve]

Nah it's not an old miss or an ole miss spy plant.



In all seriousness though, he has a great relationship with Jeff and that was the reason we got him. When he entered, we knew where he was going.

Spy on what lol? Our cafeteria plan?

[Pancho]

Evans in the boat soon?

[MrCoachKlein]

Being run heavy is never ideal.

It's funny to hear you drone on about the RTGDFB people and still think Lebby runs this ML air raid offense. Most NFL offenses are heading back to running the ball lately in the Shanahan, McVey, McDaniels system. You know, the old Kubiak and older Shanahan one. If running doesn't matter then why does every single successful coach think first about running and stopping the run?

Lebby pass attempts vs runs per game
MSU 30.7 pass 34.9 run
OK 23 34.8 pass 40.1 run
OK 22 31.3 pass 44.7 run
OM 21 33 pass 45.2 run
OM 20 33.5 pass 46.2 run
Only other OC job: southeastern 25 pass 55.9 run

So, Jeffy Lebby himself, who said this is a run first offense (direct quote), disagrees with you. That's an average of 31.38 passes a game and 44.5 runs per game. 41% pass vs 59% run. Maybe you should drop the whole running the ball doesn't matter schtick if you're gonna have his pic on your profile.
