‘23 LSU transfer OT Zalance Heard (Tennessee)

[Volfan39]

How quickly do y’all think kids make decisions. He’s been home for 24 hours and maybe less

So this is fan opinion reading tea leaves Eric talking not any inside information.

But as I've followed this one and from what I've gathered is that the money has been very good this whole process. But we/Campbell were not keen on the idea of promising/offering up the LT position which was a huge deal to Heard.

If you listen to pod and followed all the comments this weekend RT was all that was mentioned for Heard. Yesterday something had to have changed. The VQ staff mentiioned that our staff handles the portal very transparently with the current players and has meetings with the players to discuss additions. I am GUESSING that somethign like this happened and Campbell is willing to slide to RT to help the team. Maybe he is getting an NIL boost to make this worth it for him?

But for the first time through this entire process last night as soon as we started to surge the VQ staff started mentioning Campbell to RT. That has to matter IMO.

This is tea leave reading once again, but I hope this is the case and this one gets closed out and if so our OL will be in a good place for 2024 and will have a huge piece locked in for 2025 as well.

If this is true, I will like Campbell even more. He has been a great addition in so many ways.

Kid be like "mama do you want the GX460 or the GX470?"

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Yet he has. Testament to someone knowing what they’re doing.

Iowa had their way with him.

Wait, so were back to melting down?

Like a yo-yo upinhurr.

If Ole Miss comes and nabs this guy, you really have to wonder what stuff they're up too. There is no way, in any legal scenario they are a more sought after destination thank OU or UT, or even Baton Corndog.

He wasn’t alone. Iowa is equivalent to TN-Martin in your book?

If he’s affected by disasters, TCU should put in a pitch with the Ft Worth explosion.

No one knows that including you .Ridiculous statement because no one knows how he will play once he or anyone else arrives including the freshmen OT's signed this year.Fact is they may someone on the roster now that would outplay him and start .

In that case we are really playoff contenders if he isn't even starting. That means Nico is protected

 

[NighthawkVol]

Are you kidding me? He was a Freshman who played in twelve games. That’s pretty rare in the SEC. He was one of the top OT in the country in high school with almost no experience at the position. He’s 6 5” and over 300, and athletic. Every service sees him as a first rounder when he goes. If there is a red flag, someone should hit you with it.

No, no...he's Gerald Mincey, Part II.

from the Ole Miss 247 site:

Heard isn’t coming to visit this week because he lost a teammate and people took that as we were moving on from him.

Ole Miss 247 mod also said that Mincey was their last OL target left in the portal, so who knows


just sharing what I come across on here

 

[TheMookieMonster]

He’s from LA but he is going to play at Ole Miss because of a kid dying at a Mississippi high school that it sounds like he has no real connection to? That sounds like a load of BS.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Michigans staff is also way better lol

A few years ago, folks talked about Harbaugh as being one of the most overrated coaches in college football and there was hot seat talk.

I think they have a fantastic staff, though.

So on3 and 247 say he’s not visiting this week but rivals does?

He could just be a very sensitive and empathetic fella, no?

Ole Miss On3 mod:

Both Oklahoma and Tennessee sources have reached out in regards to five-star offensive tackle Zalance Heard. It seems both parties didn't get a good read on Heard during his visits, but Pete Golding seems to be the key here. He and Heard are tight and Ole Miss has made him a priority and essentially the "future" of the offensive line. Keep in mind, he's quite familiar with backup quarterback Walker Howard so the transition would be seamless

Lets line this up with what AP, Eric, and SF are saying.

They seem to feel good about our chances if he's making a decision with 24 OR SO hours.

If he decides to take other visits, not so good.

Looks like its trending other direction. But guess we'll see. Could just as easily be trending toward us.

 

[Ericvol2096]

No.

Interesting, thanks
