    Stone was productive, but we can upgrade from an athletic ability standpoint. Smith and Tillman give you a higher upside.
    I could see Branden Jennings playing middle linebacker and if that is the case that is an upgrade IMO. Way more athletic and physical player IMO.

    Stone was one of our best players on a bad defense though. Having to keep replacing known productive players with guys that MIGHT be productive is a very risky proposition. I really have no idea what to expect from MSU football next year when we are basically turning over most of the roster again. Keep saying it can't get worse, and it probably can't, but no guarantee its any better either.

    If Stone wants to come back I'm fine with it. But if he doesn't we'll be OK.

    Are we going to add Mayberry from Stanford and another guy late in the process?

    Not sure on that 100% but he is supposed to visit this weekend which makes me assume he has one.

    He was solid, but he was pretty average PFF wise.

    He put up stats because he was the middle linebacker on a bad defense that never got off the field. Any average LB puts up similar numbers.

    Mayberry is apparently leaning towards us because of Phil Loadholt's connections with the NFL.

    He's been offered and I would expect he commits pretty quickly. Rumor is that he already verbally committed to Loadholt when he got the offer.

    It sounds like based on Lebby's interview with Rosebowl that we are going to finish up this week with Mayberry and another o-lineman (Ohio State guy?) and then go after a CB in the spring portal.

    When I did my depth chart post a couple of days ago that makes a lot of sense to me. It also makes sense knowing we fired Cody Kennedy too as far as the timing on how this is playing out.

    Sounds like they are going to see how Lewis, Brumfield and Jefferson look at CB in the spring and then adjust if needed.

    DeCarlos Nicholson in the portal. I heard we are interested in bringing him back from somewhat reliable sources.

    Sure fire? No.

    Possible? Yes.

    He, Jacoby Jackson, and Ramil if he doesn't win a tackle spot will probably battle it out at LG.


    Albert Reese, Luke Work, the Juco guys, and then maybe Mayberry if he doesn't win LG will factor in at RG.

    "We'll be looking at about 15 players to bring in from the portal." Currently at 25 guys and counting lol. #MSU15WasRight
    "We will have no problem in handling Kentucky."-Turfdawg67. MSU suffered a 27-17 defeat in 2022 with 225 yards in total offense.
