But it's this kind of thing:

Alabama and Auburn may have overlooked Kivon Coman, <span style="font-weight: bold;">but they could
regret it when Coman makes a game-winning interception a few years from
now. </span>Mississippi State fans should definitely expect a lot from this
sleeper prospect.

That just makes me cringe. Really? I mean, it's not enough for him to play well. Not enough to have an interception. But a game-winning interception. Kid probably has a better chance of winning the lottery than having a game-winning interception against Bama and Auburn. It's the writing equivalent of saying, "don't be surprised if a few years from now monkeys fly out his *** and immediately type the works of Shakespeare." You seem hell bent to make a go at this and I want to support you but you got to get the writing under control.

Glad to see Coman pumped up though, I think he is a strong pull for us.

but I do agree with others that the interception talk was over the top.
Possibly. But it is more of a feature article and I did say in a few years, It's not like I said MSU would beat Bama next year. I really do believe this kid will make them regret their decision.

a homer writing an article about what he hopes will happen.
I'm a lot of things but I ain't a homer. I normally try not to respond to this type of stuff. But you really need to get a life instead of agonizing over a few words in an article. Most people would glad that a kid is trying to prove his doubters wrong and wants to win a national title.<div>
</div><div>If I was a homer I would have put the extra stuff he said about Ole Miss in the article.

"Comania". Keep up the good writing.</p>
Yea he may be main reason MSU is likely to get Beniquez. they seem very close. Coman will get a very high rating from me when I rate the class after signing day.

None of these dicks would say a word to you to your face, but for some reason they turn into Gordon Ramsey when they get behind a keyboard. Internet cool I guess.

One piece of constructive criticism: I noticed a repetitive use of adjectives in most paragraphs (rangy safety, underrated safety, versatile safety, etc). Just my opinion, may want to keep similar phrases like that to a minimum.

I'll take a note of that. I'm trying to keep from using a pronoun mostly but I will take that into account in my next article.
