Just lost Errol Thompson replacement

JUCO LB Navonteque Strong

 

[Phil Wenneck.sixpack]

His tweet said he's decommitting from the University of Mississippi State so we

may still have a shot.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Well that sucks. Hope we have a plan B for that spot

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Maybe opens a door for the Starkville LB?

This was the guy who was from Mississippi, grew up an MSU fan, and had a ton of MSU people around him. And he decommits the day before signing day?

What a gut punch. He was going to be our starting MLB from day one next year. Maybe by some miracle, Errol can come back. Otherwise, Watson better be ready to play.

It seems like the more connections we have to a guy, the less likely we are to get him. If someone grows up an MSU fan or has parents who went to State, you can pretty much take it to the bank that he will sign with someone else.

Definitely seems odd... considering the kid and the timing.

Kind of interesting we moved Jordan Davis to DE for the Auburn game. Wonder if that’ll put him back at LB.

Did he hear Arnett was leaving or something????

Late offer from Coach O

We got 4 linebackers coming in but of course none with that kind of experience. LSU snagged him for sure. I hope one of our guys is ready to step up. Maybe now we have room for another QB**** lol

The money is coming out again. Leach will figure it out soon enough.

The closer you are to Mississippi State, the more likely it is that you know what you are in store for when you sign. A fanbase who loves you and will mourn with you through all the tough, cursed losses.

Really interested to see how Arnett mixes and matches at LB next year. We are planning on moving Jordan Davis to DE, but we expect to get Demonte Russell back at SAM.

Wheat and Brule are obvious starters. After that, I think he tries to just get the best third LB on the field. Candidates are Page (the other JUCO), Watson, and probably Rodney Groce. May the best man win.

Damn, losing Strong right now is a punch in the gut. He was going to be the most impactful signee of the class on next year’s team.

Didn't want him anyway. Not a hard worker. Grades are an issue. Not coachable. ***

 

[the dog is on the loose]

With the way this year has gone we better hope that Arnett doesn’t leave. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit though.

Nice try, but Arnett just re-upped.

 

[Dawgology]

Elbows too pointy

 

[The Fatboy]

I think Wizard is asking if that's why the university made the announcement. If he was told Arnett was leaving and they make this announcement then maybe they can pull him back in the boat?
