Couple of notes with transfer portal

As you know, visits do resume tomorrow as the dead period ends at midnight on Wednesday. In talking to sources and this much is obvious, we won't see as many official visitors come through like we did last week. That of course is because Mississippi State doesn't have as many spots left to fill and they already have 20 transfer additions. But as usual, I will post the visitors list for Thursday once I know if they have any visitors. South Carolina OL Josiah Thompson was going to visit Mississippi State on Thursday but ended up removing his name from the portal on Thursday morning and will return to South Carolina. Bottom line, just don't expect many more visitors the rest of the month. Mississippi State is still in constant talks with North Carolina offensive tackle Miles McVay, as well, One source told me that could get done today but you never know how agent talks will play out. Not guaranteeing it happens today but something to watch.

@PaulJones do you think McVay would be our last tackle unless Bell hits the portal? Also have you heard anything else on Campbell from Coastal?

We need TEs, LTs, and Edges to be visiting. We shouldn’t be close to being done

Man South Carolina is going to have a really good offensive line next year. They made sure to protect their star qb…

So it is pretty much McVay or nothing on the OL?

Thompson hasn’t been any good in two years in the SEC. Would have required a massive bag too for a guy who is all hype, imo. Allowed 7 sacks and 25 pressures this year. Allowed 6 sacks and 28 pressures last year. I’m not as mad about it as most. Would have paid a guy a lot of money to come be our LT who hasn’t been any good based on hype and potential

Exactly. Ridiculous if we don’t have many visitors. There’s still plenty of time left in the portal. We should be bringing in every TE, LT, and Edge possible

I like William Boone from UNC, tbh. Was great at Prairie View A&M in 2024 (yeah I know, but was still really good) and then was UNC starting LT to begin the year and was good through three games until he got hurt

Not having many more visitors is a little concerning considering there are still areas of need that deserve addressing. Pain

Judging by his visits, he should be attainable too

I agree. I’m surprised he doesn’t have better options

It would make sense. I’m just scared they’re waiting on a ship that never comes in

It wasn’t a serious/season ending injury. He pretty much just quit mid season. Or got booted.
