Twitter is going nuts about something.  J Lee's call in show was saying they brought Casey in through Freeze's personal car entrance.

WTH is a personal car entrance.  I picture a road into campus with no cars but Freeze's.  LOL

Probably an edge rusher or 2? We need this as bad as we need a QB, imo.

Agreed on the need for an edge rusher.

I think Jalen McLeod is one of them and I’m guessing Casey Thompson is the other.

I hope So. That will solve our two biggest problems.

Apparently there is a garage or gate of some nature that Freeze ,or whoever the head coach is, can enter presumably to not be bothered by press.  This would be in the new facility

I'm sure we have gotten a defensive player's commit and it will be announced anytime now but who do you think it is? Jalen McLeod?

Does this mean anything?  Just the LB visit?

The thinking is McCleod is in.

Any other right now is more likely on defense also.

Tucker is already on the hot seat article from yesterday

 

But on the heels of this news, renewed criticism has been levied Mel Tucker's way. Fans are wondering how the Spartans' head coach could have let both Thorne and Keon Coleman walk. 

The unfortunate combination of Tucker's transfer portal shortcomings and his lofty salary have made him a hot seat candidate in the minds of some fans. 

"Mel Tucker’s 3 seasons at MSU: 2-5, 11-2, 5-7. Starting QB and best WR reportedly enter the transfer portal. Tucker makes 9.5 million a year I think his job is on the line this fall. It’s officially hot seat time in the Spartans HC’s office in East Lansing."

Their extension was almost as bad as Gus'

[toddc 13,197]

 

[Win4AU 4,201]

So the portal is closed now?  J Lee and the On3 guys sounded a little concerned Gernier May jump in last minute.  
 

Hasn’t Mel recruited really well the past couple seasons to MSU?  Like better than MSU usually recruits?  The contract is dumb but recruiting usually takes a couple years to pay off.

I wouldn't be shocked if a few names still trickle out.  Schools have 48 hours to add your name in once requested, right?  So if you sent the request to your school at 11:59am....it might take a day or two to process and then officially be in.

Most people are unaware of this, but there is a network of tunnels (wide and tall enough for service vehicles) beneath the central Auburn campus connecting each of the main buildings/event spaces together so that Aubie can travel quickly from one venue to the next.  Coaches and staff use it often.

If you Venmo me $250 I can get you a temporary pass.

Another fun fact, trash cans on campus are never more than 30 feet apart to encourage a clean and pleasing looking environment.  The idea was inspired by Walt Disney.

I’ve also heard that on occasion if you miss the trash can, Mickey Mouse will appear and pick up said trash.
