    I don't understand the angst that some of our fans seem to have towards Damien. Is he Derek Sherrod? No. Is he going to live up to his five star ranking? No. Can he be another Tobias Smith? Yes. Can he help us out next year? Yes- if the NCAA allows him to.

    It's ironic that the guy with the highest recruiting ranking ever landed by Hevesey is the most criticized o-lineman by our fans on the team.

    I'll say this for him. I went to a practice before he got hurt last year when he was working with the first team and physically he was in as good of shape and size as you would ever want to see a right tackle.

    No, I think that honor still belongs to Joey Trapp. Biggest waste of an OL scholly we've had under Mullen especially given he came in as a JUCO.

    It's not popular to say but he was having phenomenal camp before he got hurt. He was the clear cut starter at right tackle. What would have happened? No one knows.. But he got hurt. Now he wants to come back even though we have one returning starter at tackle and a juco stud. After that we have a bunch of bodies with varying questions. Damien is gonna come back and may the best man win.. What if he beats out Rankin the greatest ol recruit we have ever signed according to the Internet.. Gasp... I don't think it will happen either but football is a very self correcting sport. May the best man win

    Jay Hughes was also a tremendous leader, beyond what he contributed athletically.

    Cannot fathom why a true MSU fan would post garbage like that on a MB.

    Plus, we went all the way to California to get him. Guess we couldn't find a better JC OL in Mississippi.

    We were probably trying to establish some relationships out there.

    He is a model student and citizen and was a good football player. His dad is the most important coach on our staff. Stfu
    He's an outstanding citizen that's true. However, he wouldn't start in any other SEC school.

    Kentucky has *4 Stamps from Emcc that we recruited hard but turned is down. Vanderbilt is the viable option.

    And damien robinson is a 5 star. What does him being a 4star have to do with the price of tea in china?

    Ill also call BS on vandy being the only viable option. I bet he starts for more than 1 team. Im not about to go through every roster but your claim is ridiculous. Jay didnt even play bad this year really.

    Hughes is not Ronnie Lott, but he was a very good leader and I don't recall him specifically being beaten on a lot of plays.

    You obviously don't watch much football other than MSU. Stamps was/is a playmaker. I'll agree to disagree with you on the discussion.

    If he was the starter going into the fall last year before the injury I see no reason

    whatsoever he wouldn't be the starter this year. I hope he returns, we need the depth......

    Well, the difference between then and now is Senior has had a full year of starting experience. That has to be factored in at some point.

    Just shows how ignorant our fans are.. What hurt us at S was when we lost both Cox and Market.. Hughes was a good SEC Saftey.. Yeah if your the starting safety for the number 1 team in the country for 1/4 of the season your probably a pretty good player..

    Yep.. I'm sure it's Seniors job to lose.. But having a solid back up is huge.. We did get a little lucky last year with no big injuries to our OL...
