Quarterback Recruiting

We now have three qbs committed for the 2023 team. They are Ethan Crawford, Austin Gonzales, and Holman Edwards. Two are freshmen to be (Crawford and Gonzales) and one (Edwards) is a portal transfer. With Lowe, Keyes, and Wilke with eligibility remaining I don’t see us devoting 6 scholarship to the qb room. I can’t help but feel like another shoe or two remains to drop but makes me curious.

Building some momentum

I feel like our athletic department overall finally has some positive momentum going for it. Baseball hosted a super regional, football is back in a bowl game, and basketball team is doing well. On top of it all we have a University President that is respected and knows the needs of the school. Feeling a little bit of hope as a USM fan, just can't help waiting for that TTT moment when it comes crashing back down.

Stetson Bennett

Living in Georgia, I hear a lot about Stetson Bennett, so I get a lot of reminders that we had a shot at signing him because we had an assistant coach who had developed a relationship with his family and all we had to do was make an offer (the assistant coach wanted to sign him) and we didn’t because Jay Hopson — in his infinite stupidity — didn’t think Bennett would be a good QB and wouldn’t make an offer. God I’m so glad we got rid of Hopson, he never should have been our HC in the first place

NIL

Do we have a NIL collective set up? I have reading on the ON3 website and they have a data base establishing NIL values for particular athletes. Ole Miss says they have 5,287 members of the “Grove Collective” with over $10M raised so far. I don’t think it is reasonable to expect that kind of support but I’m curious what we are doing if anybody knows.
