When does portal close?

When does portal close?

The portal closed the 16th. We have until February 2nd I think to sign players because of MSU's add/drop date.

Maybe for high school and JUCO players that didn't enroll in December.

Hired both Cohen and Arnett

More like he took the bullet for the people who hired Cohen and Arnett.

The people who did that are up there with the people who fired Allyn McKeen in my book.

As a school president you can't completely alienate boosters because you need their money.

I can tell you for a fact that Keenum did not want to hire Cohen as AD. Arnett? Pretty sure it was framed to Keenum as we had "no choice" but to hire him. That was a lie.

[ZedFedder]

How are things looking with Seaton? Any word?

It's my understanding the window to enter the postal closed. Players left in the portal can still be signed.

No one will know what Seaton is thinking until he commits. There is no connected to him within MSU to speak otherwise. He's on a visit to LSU at the moment.

This is correct, I don’t understand why so many can’t comprehend the fact that the boosters run the 17ing show when it comes to athletics and also not a certain extent the institution as a whole. Funding makes the world go around. I know this is a hard concept for you simpleton 17ers to understand. Now back to the portal instead of ignorance.

Pete Thamel is saying he?s visiting LSU and then to Oregon. Phil Knight money in play. At least we got him to campus!

It is not about money with Seaton, and we will be the highest bidder. This thing is going to come down to who he trusts and who he believes will have him as a top 10 pick next year. That is why I truly think it comes down to us and Miami. Cristobal is a former OL and always has strong OLs and we are coached by a former OL and his old position coach at Colorado. We have a couple of edges over them. First, we play in the SEC which scouts value. Second, he will be the key to our OL. If they look good he will get the pub. At Miami he will be just another cog.

I hope you?re right!

The Tigahs are reportedly spending 7.5 million on their QB room alone. So could that play into our favor in this situation?

If what you're saying is true about being the highest bidder (not saying I don't believe you) then that makes me smile a little. I'm happy to see that we aren't afraid to throw some money around. We have been known since forever ago to let others outbid us. Even if we don't get him, if we are a top 3 bidder then that's a big win and a step in the right direction imo. And as other have said, Mississippi State has been posted on every major recruiting outlet since he came to visit. Keep doing this and some chips will eventually fall our way.

Yeah. I've had issues with MSU "not wanting to overpay" in some instances in the past but the reality is in our position to get some players we need we're going to have to do that some.

We are. And by no means am I saying overpay for every position and screw yourself in the long run. But this is a guy and a position of need that can swing a season in the right direction. Overpaying here is good imo. Maybe there will be a day where we don't have to overpay if we can get some good seasons rolling along.. but that day isn't now.

Get lost

Get lost

See things as they not how you want them to be. This is our core issue, entitled whataboutism and fixing the blame on the easy target. Believing is easy.

The projecting is quite enlightening. I?ve worked for the university all but 2 years of Keenum?s tenure. People change and he is not the leader of 2009-2019 you still believe him to be in your little fantasy world. The lose if the R1 in 2015 was the start. He got it back which was great but that started a lot of doubt in high ranking individuals
