Also, we've already had a few lineman visit and have more set up in the coming days. We're also waiting on big piece to get done with his season.
Done with his season? Well, I’ve heard that before with the coordinators and position coaches? Just messing with you.

It's Markel Bell at Miami. I don't know why I was so cryptic about it. He was close to entering the portal last year and we believe he'll enter this time. Going to be a little tricky with timing though. If they win Thursday night, and please for the love of God win Miami, they would play in the national championship on Jan 19. The last day to register for classes would be Jan 22. So it'd be tight but we could get it done. I know there's been heavy tampering going on with him.

This one gives me great joy to report, Steve Wiltfong is predicting what I was hearing late last night, Quentin Taylor(Iowa St CB) is trending towards Mississippi State.
Just a massive pickup for Corey Bell if we bring it across the goal line.

Nice, now we just gotta find a way to get teams to 3rd down. If we can get arnett a difference maker in the front 7 to pair with whitson, this defense could be much improved

We need to close on Dyson and then find another EDGE. Caleb Herring would be incredible but I'm not wholly confident in that happening.

That would be massive - He is their starting LT. I know he is getting NFL looks.

The commits we currently have are underwhelming. All but one is like “ Let’s hope for the best”. I’m not sure why I would thought any different.

You can increase your giving by making checks payable to the Excellence Fund or set up an auto debit every month.

oh, I could. I also heard that money wasn’t an issue especially on the interior lines this time around. So, are we still broke or our coaches can’t recruit? I’m confused here.

We didn't stop taking donations if that's what you're asking. We take those 24/7 365.

I'm all for going after P4 guys. I really liked us going after Breaux at LSU. This one, not so much, but I don't want to get hammered for being too negative.
Someone recently gave me negative reputation and commented that I was too negative. Lol... let me make a list of the negative nellys on this site.

How do you feel about Nash? I know the talent is there and we recruited him heavy out of high school. Day 1 starter? He said Loadholt told him he would be playing center or guard.
Just read where the corner from Iowa (Taylor) was 8th on the team in tackles while on starting half of the games. That's a pretty good sign! We definitely lacked in the tackling department.

6th overall CB... top 100 portal player with three years of eligibility. One of the top corners in the big 12. Massive pickup.
