You have concerns. That doesn't make them legit.
DL- Dealyn Evans played in all 13 games for TAMU, including the CFP. Amaree Williams played last year for Arnett. He knows what he is getting with him. Jayson Jenkins has played alot. He started at Tennessee in 2022 and took a red shirt. He even recorded a strip sack against us in 2024. That's not including the ones we intentionally kept on.
OL. Sneh has been playing since 2022. He's plyed LT the whole time and has started since 2023. DJ Chester has played and was all SEC as a starter for LSU in 2024 and then was put into filling holes in 2025 due to his versatility. Miles McVay saw a lot of snaps while at Bama and was seeing them until his injury at NC. That's not counting the returning people we made sure we kept. Steen, Boone....etc
WR. Marquis Johnson has played since his freshman year. He's played in 25 games and is considered an "Elite Deep Threat". Zion Ragins played in all 13 games as a freshman on a CFP team. We also return a great WR room.
RB. Why would we need another RB? We have our 1&2 and back ups. Gayten took the #2 spot. Plus, we are not done yet.
Well we've got money and we ain't spending it on anything good so he was being nice and saying hopefully you're getting paid to spout your idiocy. But clearly you're just retarded for free.

Now that Sneh is in the boat Edge is our biggest need. Not sure what is still out there honestly.

Damon Wilson from Mizzou is still out there. If we have 4-5 million for Seaton, I would put at least half of that in front of Wilson and make him say no.
Apparently TT offered him close to 2.5 million.

We got the TE we wanted. And we are not looking for another.
As to edge, we did sign some. Arnett worked with one of them who played some last year for him. In fact the kid is good enough that he played both ways for FSU. Scored a TD on a pass as a TE and averaged 25 yards per catch. He also had 10 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss (TFL), and 1.5 sacks as the rotation guy. He scored a TD and got a sack in the same game playing both ways.
McVay has played LT. But he's not a LT. Like I said.
Sneh is a good get. No doubt there.
The TE we "wanted" sucks. Not an upgrade over Traore from a receiving standpoint.
We have signed some edges. Very little production. We have to hope they're good.
My original statement is true. You can "LOL" at it all you want.

PFF would disagree with you.
Pass protection. Riley Williams is a major upgrade in this department with a 71.8 pass-block grade, compared to Traore’s 52.4. Williams has a slightly higher run block grade. From a receiving stand point, I provided a video of him at Miami. Lebby is going to run it and protect the QB.

He's the complete opposite of Traore. We need someone who can block and catch.

Thats opinion, but I have no issue with you having one. But if Lebby went for this guy, and what you say is true, then it stands to reason that he is looking for something else at this position.
Can't say that I blame him. The OL was almost last in sacks allowed.

Him being the opposite of Traore isn't opinion.
We needing someone who can block and catch is an opinion, but it's a common sense one.

Didn’t we lose James? Who’s his replacement? Where did that blank check go for Seaton? If that check was a one time deal from a booster, why are we not cutting Seaton that check? Or did we just have enough funds set aside for Seaton? Has Seaton told us no yet? Does he wants to play for a better team?

we have agreed with Seaton mutually to end talks.

No top notch player is coming to State to play that isnt from Mississippi no matter who our coach is. Lebby and Loadholt got us in the mix because of relationship and being awesome

Lebby recruited a bunch of guys in the trenches with 3 years remaining. Somebody has told him he has 2 more years at least

If he goes 4-8 next year, he'll be done. Not buying that.

So why the hell are you asking everyone and their mother to donate their mobile homes and cash they buried in big mayonnaise jars in their backyard if no big star will ever come here? Seems like that money would be best spent elsewhere right?

I'm just saying- If I've been told my job was on the line for 2026- I would not have recruited a bunch of green guys to play OL. Very few people are that dumb. People that do that have been told they have the support of the Administration to rebuild the program for a couple more years to get it on a solid foundation.
Nothing else makes sense
