Currently we have Joc Johnson, Jung, Durr, Gray, Brown, Calvin, Coleman, Rankin, Thomas, and I may be forgetting a couple. We all know Durr wasn't going to start, so he's playing out of necessity and Gray used his redshirt in JUCO. What I'm getting at here is that Calvin and Durr are likely the only JUCOs we've signed who won't have a redshirt year. That's 9 JUCO guys and 7 of them have redshirts. Give me a good reason why that happens? We have 7 JUCOs committed right now and I expect that number to increase. We lose Joc, Calvin and Coleman. Say we sign 8 JUCO guys, giving us 14 JUCOs on our roster. FOURTEEN. It may just be me but that seems ridiculously high. Especially when you consider we'll probably have redshirted 10-11 of them. Other than the redshirting part I think we've all seen this before and we know what the end looks like.

Champion is playing RG. Sweat is a legit talent. Pierce is visiting other schools. LSU seems to be the leader despite his "commitment" to us. Hopefully we hang on to Gooden as well.

Since we wI'll have rJR Thomas, JR Johnson, rSO Green, rFR Jones, rFR Roberson, I will be really surprised to see Pierce stick with us. I also will be very surprised to see Jones and Roberson both stick around if Pierce does sign.

Yes, I am excited about the current class. Seems Mullen finally got the memo.

Me too. I think everyone was wondering why we got Landrews. I think they see now that Bryant isn't The Honey Badger and Peters isn't even Kivon Coman.

Landrews is a big time athlete, and was a good RB in high school. Unfortunately, I have my doubts that our staff can make him a successful DB. I'm not sure they could help anybody, regardless.

Brandon Bryant is a legitimate 4* talent.

From my understanding, asking Pierce to look at the depth chart is tantamount to saying Cam shouldn't have signed with Auburn at the time(which was widespread on MSU boards) because they had 4 scholarship QBs.

No kidding. Have a lot of TEs and having good TEs are totally different.
