KaMario Taylor is the future for State in my opinion...

Put him on the Dak program. Put in a package for him, make him a fan favorite off the bench and build his confidence into an eventual and hopefully very soon starting role.

The issue is he can leave at any point without any penalty. Which this is why high school recruiting is such a crap shoot in the current setup of college sports.

My guess is that if he doesn't play a lot this year, he's gone. Kids don't hang around to "develop" anymore.

How would you handle him for next season?
You better play him because in this day and age if he doesn't feel respected he's out for more money, or if he feels respected and starts then he will leave to the highest bidder the following season.

We have to stop thinking like that - “of the future.” He will likely than not transfer out of here before the future gets here. All we know is who we have right now, and he’ll that’s not even certain anymore.
Yeah. In the words of former Redskins coach George Allen, "the future is now." We've got a pretty good idea what this fall's roster will look like. Virtually no clue what next year's will.

Jeffrey Simmons tweeted about the guy before one spring practice. Many other fans gave their approval for the guy before one spring practice. He always was the fan favorite.

Good or bad, Taylor will play significantly to start and will start after the first loss. Book it.

Krom, we barely knew you.

Nobody on here can say Taylor is better than the other QBs, but we should play him? LOL
He's never played a game but he's definitely going to transfer? LOL
Damn yall crazy as hell!
This is true. But people are clamoring for him.

Bama and OM will make strong offer$ next summer, if he's even half decent.

Btw, I find it laughable the game wasn't on tv. When you have highlights on the internet, stats and post game conversation by coaches.

I thought this was all top secret stuff.*

We can pay him plenty if we get to that point. You guys act like we've been losing great players on the regular and we haven't. Poor Oles will always Poor Ole everything in their minds
We are poor compared to everyone else. If not why are we lacking in top quality athletes?

We just had our first real Lebby class after years of god awful Leach recruiting. Both our HS and portal classes were ranked solidly. Now name the elite players we've lost to the portal and how they've done since leaving. It's a big nothing burger.

They went to the same high school.....Taylor isn't the starter and not sure he's even #2 at this point. It's crazy to say he's going to play more than 4 games at this point. Our defense looked like a great defense in the spring game, but we know it's not, so are we suddenly going to say they're great too?

We haven’t had anything worth losing. 😅 Time will tell on how this years top recruiting class pans out. 😉

Well he did have the 2nd most pass attempts in the game. Without looking im guessing he took the 2nd most snaps? Maybe the most snaps.

Shapen isn't the answer. If KT can't beat out Shapen at some point this season we're in for another 0-fer the SEC.
He won’t beat out Shapen. I doubt he beats out the other guy for #2. But he very well may wind up having to play. And the jump from 3A football to the SEC says it probably won’t be pretty.

Kemario is not going anywhere. Some of y’all need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves. Kemario had many other offers from blue bloods and never left!! That man is loyal to Mississippi State!! He looks like he is truly passionate about State. He seems like a guy that only wants what he is worth!!

Back when I was naive, I thought “hey when JoMo gets Shrader in here, he’s the future”.

But either way, I am hopeful, with rev share, we can keep a core group of loyal players around to maybe compete for a playoff shot 2-3 years from now.

We are currently the worst program in the SEC.

Burn the redshirt if it gets you a first down in a critical situation.
No you don't. Taylor isn't getting a shirt burned for some goal line package when KroHawk is a good runner too. Only way Taylor burns a shirt is to play a lot. Next year the QB battle will be incredible! Might be if Shapen gets hurt.

I expect it in two years. The schedule eases up after this year.
We don’t know what the schedule looks like next year. Other than UL-Monroe, Troy & Tennessee Tech at home & at Minnesota. And presumably at Mississippi. And really, even 1 of the OOC games may have to be dropped if SEC goes to a 9-game schedule.

If you mean... disappointed as he won't play much this year.... no, I won't.
It's 4 games unless Shapen is hurt bud. H has no chance to be the starter unless Shapen gets hurt and he's still got to beat out one of the top portal QBs this year. He's going to great when it's his time, but it's Shapens team.

It won't be TX & UGA and that's massive alone. Give me anybody else but those two. We won't have our whole damn home schedule in Sept either.

It could easily be one or both of them. And we will have at least 2, maybe 3 home games in September.

Our defense is so improved after listening to the spring game, I'm sure there will be plenty of offensive possessions to go around***

Do we want to win? If so KT plays. He is better that the other 2. Yep hw played 3-a highschool but played Starkville-West Point-Louisville the elite of big time Miss. football. He single handed beat Louisville -who had not lost in 3 years. KT is a Monster-His Brother is also hell on wheels. Play Him./

No he's not. You can ask everybody out there and they'll tell you Shapen is way ahead of the other two. Shapen was really good before he got hurt last year and that was before the offense got on the same page.

Yeah. That's ridiculous to think a true FR is going to be better than a proven good 5th (6th?) year senior and a 5* soph. He may or may not be the real deal, but he's not beating out Shapen. He might beat out the other guy for 2nd string, but that's 50-50 at best.
