Thanks for your prayers. God is good whether we get good or bad news, but we had great news today. What tested as cancer last month came back benign today after they removed it, & they only had to remove part of her thyroid, not all of it. Thank y’all so much for the kind words.

I’ve heard from a few JUCO coaches today and this idea makes no sense with so many players graduating in Dec and signing day in Feb. It’s effectively canceling 2020 and ruining opportunities and careers for a ton of kids. Football needs to be played this Fall.
The NJCAA recommends fall sports be moved to spring 2021. Local JUCO coaches say their main focus is helping their players get scholarships and graduate early.

Not sure how a discussion on MSU WR's brought Ole Miss into play, but the obsession is deep.
Which gave him one more 100 yard game than the entire "deep" OM WR corps combined. He needs a big year, but he's producing.

Once upon a time JT Gray and Elgton Jenkins were very late offers in the same class from Clarksdale. “Plan B’s”. LOL. Saw them play in Jackson before they eventually headed to Starkville, now in the NFL with I think $10M+ in combined salaries. Love these success stories.
The
#Saints
made a few moves, with sources saying they agreed on a 2-year deal with safety and special teamer JT Gray, giving the would-be RFA a deal worth $4M with $2M guaranteed. They also did a simple restructure on DT David Onyemata’s contract, creating $4.34M in cap space.
