Not much action but there is a chance at a nice DE prospect Josaiah Knight. Juco reciever possibility also but that 4 star edge would be great.
Big National Signing Day tomorrow
- Thread starter Rupert Jenkins
- Start date
The pundits seem to believe he’s already signed with us but he wants to do the hat ceremony with his teammates
Yeah. Sanfrisco is a done deal. Really only 2 other signing possibilities and neither are ironclad. Knight is a high school edge and Leland something or other is the juco wr. Suppose to be a deep threat Yada Yada. We never seem to do so good with juco wr. Edited to add Smith. Leland Smith. Like #4 juco receiver.
I’m an optimist. I expect 5 wins.
5 wins would be a pretty good coaching job, 6 wins outstanding. Honestly I see 4 wins, will be pretty decent on offense by the middle of the season but defense won’t be able to stop anyone. it’s going to take time.
Defense is definitely a concern. And even more, the seeming lack of even caring about the defense we're seeing. My fear is we've swapped a head coach who's still a defensive coordinator for a head coach who's still an offensive coordinator.
I know and talk to a guy who is a big time doner. He is a cigar boy. I have been knowing him for 20 years. Has Box and all that goes with it. I saw him last week and I asked him was it safe to contribute to the NIL. He said definitely yes, and he donates a bunch of money to it. He knows Selmon and the new coaches and has numbers in his cell phone. He can call them up when he wants. I told him I was concern about both offense and defense and not sure about the coaching. He said he was not worried one bit. He said they will not light the world up next season, but we will all be satisfied at the end of the season. I don't know what he knows but he does know people.
Oh yeah? Well my uncle works for Nintendo and I got to play super Mario brothers 2 before it came out
I know you joking but I was not. I don't see this guy all the time. Once or twice a year and this was the first time I was able to talk to him in a while. He is a big wig in my company.
Well, he doesn't know much about what the product on the field will look like or how successful the new coach will be. But he's right about contributing to NIL. We all need to scale back Bulldog Club contributions and shift that money to NIL if we want to have any prayer of being moderately successful.
I agree. I wondered what made him so sure. He's not expecting an 8 to 10-win season, but it will be better than most of us think. My attitude is to expect five wins and if it is more be happy.
That’s my attitude as well. And he may be right. Lebby may turn out to be another Mullen. Or not. Whatever he is, it’s an upgrade over what we had.
Could have hired Coach (Henry Winkler) Klein and would have been an upgrade.
Agree with that. I try to think of a worse coaching staff/job than last year and I can’t come up with one. May have been an all time worst.
4-8 is my prediction. I’m not seeing a winnable sec game outside of Arkansas, and that’s 50/50.
Get back to work or you’re fired
I told you not to put that on the internet.
We could have kept Arnett and gone 4-8. That would be a huge disappointment and an admit thst we made the wrong hire. 6-6 is the expectation and anything above thst would be gravy.
I think you have to take into account the damage done by Arnett and the requisite rebuild given the resources. 6-6 is a real long shot, and I would say there is little chance of that. 4-8 is my prediction/5-7 is certainly possible.
Nobody knows what it will look like or how successful it will be yet we have people on here calling 4-5 wins next year.
I'm not so sure he would have won 4 games in year 2.
We will beat Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, and have a good shot at Mississippi. I'm seeing 6-6 even with a loss at ASU.
I think you're living in a dream world. No way we beat Mississippi. Doubtful we beat Florida or Missouri either. Arkansas will be a tossup.
Knight is signed. Not bad. We can use all the help we can get defensively. I think we will be better than expected. Probly bowl eligible.
We added 3 safeties from the portal that can all play. No, they aren't Sean Taylor, but they will impact our team positively. I feel a lot better about our secondary today than I did 2 months ago. I'm not wooly, but I do feel better about it. If Trevion and Dink develop, we could surprise some people.
Funny how this thread is today vs, say 10-15 years ago.
Now, between early signing day and the portal, it's like "oh, that's today? neat."
