From everything I have seen and heard from people who were around the situation in HS, it is going to be anything but a nothing burger. Hopefully Lebby and Co. will have a nice chat with the Taylor’s about how things are going to work here. His dad is just a loose cannon wild card. He will openly call out coaches and fans. And be ready, nothing will ever be the fault of Kamario. Kamario is really good and make no mistake he is worth it if he plays to his potential but it will be a pain in the ass nonetheless.

I'm not too worried about his Dad. I'm worried about our fans overreacting to his Dad.
We have too many "17 you then leave and go somewhere else" fans.

The worse thing that has happened is paying players and portal/Transfer. But times have changed in our society! Look at all the hate across the country.

Yes, that is a very we are Miss State mentality that keeps us from progressing forward. Same with our fans inability to embrace NIL when it first became a thing. Unfortunately, many of our fans have this line of thinking with things. They don't realize it just continuously holds us back instead of us pulling all in the same direction.

I'll never fully understand why we wasted money on the FSU kid, I guess we needed a backup plan - but man that is money i wish we could have used on an OL and then just signed some JUCO QB for emergency purposes.
Spending the money we did on a 3rd string QB is just not something we can afford to do. I didn't like the signing at the time, and I still dont.
He won't be on the team next year. Book it.

Well, he really isnt the 3rd QB. If Shapen were to go down for any length of time Chicken Hawk would probably play the majority of plays right now. We bring in #1 for his athleticism package but not much else. We dont bring Chicken Hawk in because he is alot more like Shapen and nothing gained by playing him in a package.
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

Lebby went 2-10 last year and he needed to make sure that he didn?t have another season that bad. He brought him in because he knew that KT was too raw to be an SEC starting QB which would have pretty much guaranteed we would go winless in the SEC. With Shapen being injury prone, we needed a QB that could at least keep us competitive if Shapen went down. Another 2-10 year would have been a disaster for Lebby and even though he is getting a longer leash than most because of the situation he inherited, he needed to spend to be safe. At least winning some games this year he isn?t on the hot seat going into next year which will help with recruiting in the portal for the future.
