What is coming back on the OL? If there is an easy way to figure out who has eligibility left on the AD's website, I can't figure it out.
I posted a list yesterday of the OL best guesstimate starters. Also if it doesn't say Sr or Gr by their name they have eligibility. It's not that complicated except that these days some of the Sr might be returning.
All the ones we saw last season are gone anyway, so nothing to judge the current guys on
It is easy to assume since these guys were the backups they are not as good. So, you can kind of judge them based on that fact. The O LIne really sucked last season. Like I said let's see what the ne O Line coach can do.
We'll see... but the guys we lost accounted for something like 85% of our starts last year on defense. The ones returning only got a few spot starts due to injuries. Still got a few that could come back and that would probably help --- Nicholson, Purvis and Demonte Russell. But it's going to mostly be a completely different group next year.
We DO need to sign 5 good OL and process a few. There's no way we have 10 guys that can play in this league (even as backups). And, BTW, 4* players turn out to be busts all the time no matter how good the coaching is. Sometimes, even 5* players do. And most 3* players never contribute in college.
Right. We need a center. We will be fine with the rest. We aren't signing 5 OL. Nor do we need to
All of that just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen at OL. I agree, we got one starter from the portal but we need two more starter transfers.
A lot of hoping in this paragraph. Hoping isn't what an SEC offensive line needs..
Yes. Played Juco in 19 the. Played in more than 4 in 21-23. Lost all 5 starters.
He should get a 6th year, unless there was something weird going on because he was in JUCO in 2020. Does the NCAA (or NJCAA or whatever) not grant them the COVID extra year?
2020 just doesn't count whether he played or not. He played 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023 so his 4 years are gone.
We still need at least 2 good portal transfers there. Not to mention a lot of help at WR, LB & DB.
That is a ridiculous comment. We may sign a couple more. Probly Bouldin. Maybe Pounders but we are not signing 5. The ones I listed will almost assuredly be starters. We have put numerous 3 stars OL in the NFL over the years. They did play some last year even tho they were behind a bunch of 6 year guys that had been starting for about 3 years. The line sucked because our coaches sucked. The scheme was a joke. You never have 2 line coaches. You don't rotate offensive linemen in and out. That's bad coaching
The problem we had last year is that our heavy roster of seniors wasn’t that talented in defense
The last day to register for classes for Spring Semester at MSU is January 23rd.
If I am not mistaken, that is Portal closing to get into the Portal. Not deadline for enrolling in a college.
