State might have a worse roster in 2025 than they had in 2024. I have no idea what your selling point for next season is. You’re coming off 2-10 and your outgoing players are somehow better than your incoming players so far. You’ll have to spend more for players than other schools just to get them to come. Unfortunately, it seems Selmon is probably in over his head. A young, inexperienced first time AD at the same time NIL is blowing up was a bad scenario.

Not saying kick him to the curb yet but I don’t feel like he’s had a great start. Lebby understandably gets a Year 1 pass on a lot things. But you go 2-10 with a historically bad defenses and don’t make any changes? That’s something a lot of people are going to take issue with. And they do not really seem to be increasing the talent level much either. For the people that believe this is Chad Morris 2.0…. They’ve got some legit ammunition to back that up right now.

This all resorts back to who's been here the whole time. You don't eliminate the disease without eliminating the cancer. Right hires can make an immediate, positive impact. It doesn't take months or years to get a positive ROI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 Had De'Zhaun Stribling in Oxford yesterday. Would love to be able to land him but it sounds like he’s asking the type of money like he’s Randy Moss talented so pretty sure we’ll be moving on from him. I don’t like that Singleton left without signing the other day regardless of what usually 25% right David Johnson says. We’ll have to beat Texas out for him. Dane Key was also here yesterday. This is a make or break next few days with the WR position. Land 2 of these 3 and we’re in a perfect position. Don’t land any and could be in trouble. I wish we could’ve had all 3 in the building at the same time but having Stribling and Key at same time will have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWammies Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 1 big worry I have with Ole Miss is behind Austin Simmons is absolutely no one. We have AJ Maddox but I’m not even sure if he’s listed as a QB anymore. I knew Walker Howard would transfer but we need to grab 1 or 2 backups.

Dawg83 Posted December 16, 2024 Author Share Posted December 16, 2024 Luke Kromenhoek commits to State. He’s not a name people know like Arnold but I actually like this addition a good bit. I presume he’s your injury replacement starter next year and they plan for him and Taylor to battle for the job in 2026. High upside guy. I don’t think the QB room is a major issue going into next year. And I will end this post on that positive note and not focus on any other position groups lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 Oh most know him. Didn’t he fumble about 4 times against Florida and have a horrible game against UNC? He has a good reel that consist of mostly Charleston Southern. He’s a Shapen backup. Y’all just have to get through this year because KT is a very solid future. A VERY SOLID future.

I don’t know a ton about him just that he was highly regarded as a prospect and forced into action on a terrible team this year as a true freshman. Have a hard time writing him off based off a couple of games. But it’s true he does not have much of a track record yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him nothing but the best. The holding penalties were sure frustrating and always seemed to happen on a big play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrownInEtown Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 I’m definitely Mississippi biased, but having Kamario Taylor signed should comfort our qb worries. Anyone else after that is great, but Taylor’s our most reliable outcome for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think all the money chasing is a bad look and the implications of that will extend beyond his college years. If you can’t commit to a college or university, how would anyone expect you to commit to a real job in the real world? It winds up being a bad look that will do more harm in the long run.
