Huh? He was doing recruiting visits for Missouri State all day yesterday.

I'm stunned that there are actually people that thought it was even a possibility we would fire Smith after his second true year. When his oldest guys are just sophomores ...

Yep. One reason the 2007 team was so good was because guys like J Leman, Norwell, Mitchell and Harrison had gotten their brains beat in for 3 straight years. All that playing time and experience created some real good seniors.

Would have been interesting to see if Tre Watson, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Patrick Nelson, Desmond Cain, Dominic Thieman, Tito Odenigbo would have made a difference? In a hypothetical world, we certainly would have seen those guys playing a lot of minutes this year considering how all the injuries...

Nojel Eastern signed with Purdue in November but Julysses Nobles signed with Arkansas in April. I'm not sure if Sean May ever signed a LOI but James Augustine definitely did ...

January reminds me of Rakeem Christmas.

Brick Haley wouldn't surprise me. But you'd have to come up with some serious money to pay him. Wouldn't rule out either Hoke brother either.
