Looks like Sylla is straightforward and he should be eligible. But Manning participated in a Falcons mini-camp and played some Indoor Football League. So maybe a few questions there. Hopefully we get both.
Update on Sylla and Manning.
- Thread starter patdog
- Start date
Hopefully we do but if any area needed a boost I'm thinking edge is a perfect spot for addition. I think we will be fine at safety
Both guys were at practice this morning but not in pads. At least they were out there on the field. Sounds like a positive to me.
Need Sylla worse than Manning so at least he’s more straightforward.
Manning led us in tackles last year & is the better player. But Sylla is more of a position of need. I want them both back. But if I had to pick just one, it might be Sylla.
The NCAA is fighting hard. Some barber shop talk I heard this morning.
"Best thing is for State & OM to come together since they're leading the way"
"Who'd thunk it the 2 MS schools defying the NCAA"
"The SEC needs to have their backs but I don't trust that Stankey feller"

Given recent results on the field and in the courts, I doubt OM is incentivized in any way to partner with us in conquering NCAA issues.
Baylor had a player drafted into the NBA and Bama pulled one out of the G League so mini-camp and indoor ball shouldn't be a problem.
Slap a 5 and "Daniels" on manning. That'll do.
Yes, much unlike their day to day lives, OM fans don’t like the bend over approach when it comes to the NCAA
Might wanna throw Sneh into the conversation. He recently tweeted that he has gained eligibility for the upcoming season thru a separate lawsuit
Sylla led us in TFL’s last year I believe (not saying much at all, but still). I feel like he would fit Arnett’s defense well.
Getting either or both back is very good news.
Tom Mars says there is a good chance the Tenth Circuit will reverse the injunction. Not due to the merits of the case, but because the Tenth Circuit does not like preliminary injunctions. (Mars clerked for a Tenth Circuit judge).
But the NCAA also faces preliminary injunctions issued in 3 or 4 state courts, and those would be unaffected by a 10th Circuit reversal. Brandon Sneh's injunction came from a Texas case.
Meanwhile, a Michigan court has ruled that ALL NCAA eligibility rules violate Michigan's state antitrust laws.

If only they would’ve had a sore throat.
The Colorado case is particularly scary, even if the injunction is lifted. The logic the Judge used was basically "more eligible players means higher pay". That would fall in line with the Michigan ruling that the NCAA cannot limit eligibility.

Yes, but we have never been treated the same was by the ncaa as those two schools. I know that everything is changing, but I'm sure that the ncaa will use us as a spot to try to make a stand.

Another little piece of info is Sneh is in the portal. Do we not want him or he doesnt wanna be here ? Says on his X that State turned his paperwork in for the transfer. Weird ? Or not ?
We told him we are way too stocked at O-line and to get to steppin’
