Cole Guffey 2016 Dual Threat QB

Just thought I would share - Cole is getting interest from Coach Wozniak and Coach Monken. Chip Lindsey was high on him before he left for Arizona St. Played senior year with 3 broken ribs suffered in the first game of the year which limited his running. Check out his website with link to video - coleguffey.com
He is getting a lot of interest now that his film is getting out there. Also, plays basketball.

Richthofen opens recruitment, sets visit dates

Catholic (New Iberia, LA) High standout offensive lineman Wyatt Richthofen may be one of the most under rated offensive linemen in the South this year. The talented 6-foot-5, 310-pounder has been a longtime commitment to Tulane, but on Thursday re-opened his recruitment. Southern Miss is one of the programs that has peaked his interest.

More Recruiting tidbits:

Here's a few more tidbits:

- I have reason to believe that Southern Miss is no longer recruiting Highland (Kan.) CC WR Troy Grant. I believe that a condition of his offer was for him to be a mid-year transfer. I am taking him off the commitment board.

- I also believe Rummel (Lou) OL prospect Larry Robinson will be a late enrollee if at all. Sources, in Louisiana, tell BGN that he may be an academic casualty. As of now, he is going to remain on the board, but I am not sure I am going to count him in my head as a commit. I am not 100% convinced that Harrison Central (MS) DL Jordon Beaton ends up signing next month, he could end up a greyshirt.

- In addition to Richthofen, I think an in-state sleeper that may be getting a strong look at OL is West Harrison (Gulfport, MS) OL Josh Oatis. Other late OL prospects include Jamahl Jelks, Darta Lee and Chandler Anthony.

- There are two in-state OL that are committed elsewhere that I am not convinced will actually sign with the schools that pledge them. Eli Johnson from Lafayette (MS) County and Gentle Williams from Florence (MS). Johnson is pledged to OM while Williams is committed to Cal. Do not be shocked if one or both of those guys end up on a USM visit list before NSD.

- Quarterback commitment Jared Sparks supposedly has a vist to Purdue on 1/15. If he takes the visit, I won't be shocked to see Southern Miss bring in other QB prospects on 1/22 and 1/29. A guy that has popped up late on the radar is Spartenburg (SC) Austin Scott. He is the 2015 Gatorade Play of the Year in SC this year and a MaxPreps 1st Team HS All American. When I watch his video he's a carbon copy of Nick Mullens.

- The next commitment on the Southern Miss board could be Starkville (MS) DL Lorenzo Dantzler. He has a visit set for 1/22.

Ladies Lose both games this week...53-45

I figured it would only be a matter of time before teams start catching on to us... Hopefully someone (2 or 3) will step and start hitting some shots. The pendulum swings real hard for on this team this year. When shots are falling, we are NCAA ready. When they are not, might not make the NIT. We have to find middle ground until the storm blows over.

I know a team can have a hot shooting night every night, but when we go cold....we GO COLD. I think a big part is inexperience as well. It is hard to win on the road, but we have to figure it out... Sooner rather than later.

Potential I-A Transfer

Tulane's top WR Teddy Veal announced last night that he has been granted his release from Tulane. The past two years he has been the Wave's top WR including last year as a true freshman.

Don't be shocked if you see Southern Miss in the mix for his transfer. He'll have to sit out this coming year, but since he never redshirted at Tulane he'll have three years to play two.

Southern Miss was high on him two years ago but a combination of Southern Miss running out of slots and some legal charges that were later dropped kept him home at Tulane.
