Not sure why a receiver who averages 2.4 catches per game for 37.2 yards per game in 9 games at the JUCO level has generated so much interest from this board. I know about the hype, but I just don't see this as a big loss.

I don't think he's even practiced yet. All the reports I've heard said he was either rehabbing or only involved in non-contact activities. I bet the coaches saw this coming from a mile away.

We probably should move on.. We were all excited with the WR signings, but Whop may be the only one that sticks.

With what I saw Austin Williams do in the spring game along with Mixon and Dear returning along with whop...I think we are good at WR without Heath and Guidry

Several top programs wanted him based on his JC career. Think it's safe to say he's a big-time talent. But he does seem like a really immature kid, perhaps easily swayed by others. Seems to have commitment issues as well.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if somebody who wants him at another school has been whispering in his ear, giving him some bad advice. Unless he is injured worse than was thought, this is not a good look for him. He's gonna be a junior. Needs to man-up and get to work.

He’s talented kid but he’s no good to us if he isn’t interested in being here. It’s time for him to get this under control or else we need to move on.

The kid arrived on campus in Jan and had to sit out some because of academics during spring practice. That tells me he's not buying in to the things they need to do to stay eligible. He also said he didn't fit. I would imagine the other team leaders let him know it doesn't work his way here.

It's drama every time he goes home. Let's just see what happens in June/July.

Feel pretty confident there won't be any "sitting out a semester". We need him now. This is our season with a chance to break down the glass ceiling. If he's not back here ready to roll by July, I'd imagine his football career is over....

Exactly. He’s got to realize his D1
Football chance to play is coming close to an end. He needs to get his damn head on straight and quit letting others influence him and screw his head and thoughts up. I want to see him in maroon and white but damn if he doesn’t want to be in Starkville then he does us no good.

He just tweeted it out. Not sure what is going on with him but he has been a ton of drama and has never played yet.

Why does it have to be a WR we need that has his head up his ***? Why not someone on the DL? Ole Miss has like 8 WRs that can make it without any BS but ours can’t get it together. Instead one is a headcase who can’t suck it up, go to class, and play football and another one went to JPS. Gonna be asking a lot of true freshmen WR in Jason and RSF Williams. Another reason to kick Mullen in the balls. The goofy hunchback fell asleep at the wheel in recruiting WRs.

Agree, very, very frustrating. Would be more understandable out of a guy that somehow might have trouble even seeing the field this Fall. Suddenly our big 3 WR class has turned into the big 1 WR class.

I still feel like we got an upgrade for lateral move.

Not only that but I bet none of them will lose a minute of sleep if he never sets foot in the football complex again.

Former Coaches say he is spoiled. Has all the talent in the world, but won’t put the time in the weight room. He has played the last couple seasons with a bum shoulder that required surgery after the season. This all due to not putting in the work in the off season

Also, he goes home in December and then all of a sudden “can’t find a ride back to school....”. Seriously.... he missed classes and practices because he literally couldn’t find a ride back to school......

I 110% agree. I can’t explain the feeling of overwhelming confidence I have in Joe Moorhead. Especially For a man that has never been a head coach on the FBS level. I think he’s going to surprise the hell out of opposing fans and pessimistic State fans. I believe people in football know hes going to be good. I think he will be a better coach and he’s already a better recruiter than Mullen. He’s more personable and not socially awkward. He’s a blue collar guy that does the important things the right way. He’s doing everything right so far. I’m not pissed about Mullen leaving. He did a good job here but I can’t say great bc he didn’t capitalize in recruiting when we made it to #1. He also blew games against Ole Miss which I can’t forget. Mainly the 2012, 2014, and 2017 Egg Bowls. People don’t realize what a huge blown opportunity that was. He was dead to me after losing to Matt Luke on Thanksgiving. I’m glad the guy is gone. It was time for both parties to move on. I was concerned he was gonna stay too long and dwarf the future potential of the program due to his recruiting and coaching ability in big games.

Just went to the Road Dawgs tour in Meridian and Moorhead brought up that Guidry added a lot of muscle this off season but then when talking about the WR core, he did not name anyone directly. it was kind of weird.

Me thinks all those little whispers in his ears are coming from . . . . . . . . . . . .Gainesville (and I don't mean Gainesville, GA). Look for him to end up down in Gatorland. But, he won't hurt us this year.

So is he going to lose a year of eligiblity to sit out? Didn't he graduate HS in 2015? Did he not enroll in JUCO until last year? How is he not going to get screwed on his five year clock?

If he really was sitting out until the spring, he’d be the first player in history to do so voluntarily. He’s either full of ****, suspended, or has a significant injury that nobody knew about when he signed but still carries a recovery time of 9 months plus. I find the latter to be highly unlikely.

Guidry has deleted his tweet FWIW. I guess the coaches have had a talk with him

Meanwhile, on the RoadDogs tour, Head Coach mentions that he has come in and gained 20 pounds of muscle. He deletes his 'tweet' about sitting out.

I have no clue 'if' or 'how much' he contributes BUT we seem to have a coaching staff that knows what they are doing and I'm going to listen to them BEFORE I pay ANY attention to what 'FORMER' coaches have said.

Since we are interpreting a tweet that we don’t actually know the meaning of - maybe he is saying that he is taking the fall semester off of Twitter. He tweeted later that he would be away from twitter for a while per the B&B show. May not have anything to do with school or football. I dunno, grasping at straws here...

This actually makes more sense than anything else I have heard.
