[SugarCC]

So many smart people on this board. Strange our country's in mess it is with so many scholars. Lol

I blame the "lol" people.

Gotta be a story here.

Gotta be a story here.

I know he alluded to that we were looking good for some bigger fish so I could only imagine it’s some combination between Mims, Mondon, TID, and Green. But agreed, seeing that Pounds and Orr committed elsewhere, I’m trying to be optimistic on Mims.

I don't think we're finished going after Orr. And it's been awhile since chatter about UT and Pounds so something must have happened there.

I think we all are trying to be that way. I would hate to think Pruitt and staff have given up recruiting Pounds and Orr. Because Mims is far, far from a sure thing.

Pound for pound this kid would be hard to beat.

That run blocking grade is a bit concerning though.

 

[Vol8188]

That run blocking grade is a bit concerning though.

True but given his size and only being a sophomore, I’m sure we can improve that number. Some of it may be scheme driven too

 

[Vols410]

That run blocking grade is a bit concerning though.

The run blocking grades for us were also bad this year but we gashed teams. Gotta think the scheme can overcome that.

 

[orangejuice]

That run blocking grade is a bit concerning though.

Probably comparable to our starting OL grades this year. PFF always gave us horrible grades even when we went for 250+

 

[CobbVol]

Sounds like he is Ole Miss bound.

Isn’t everyone?

News out of Chapel Hill came out Thursday, as UNC’s starting left tackle Diego Pounds has officially entered the transfer portal, with sources saying Ole Miss is the most likely destination for the Raleigh native, if he is to leave.

From what I understand talking to people close to the situation, UNC was caught off guard by this ultimate decision. Pounds came to Carolina and informed them of offers he was receiving, hinting at an exit, but Carolina showed a willingness to match said offers to keep its homegrown talent, and word got back to the Lane Kiffins of college football to increase any offer to the point where Pounds didn’t even come back to the Carolina coaching staff with a final number. UNC hasn't given up in its pursuit in trying to sway Pounds back, however the consensus seems to be he was already out the door.

Ole Miss needs to be investigated. This is ridiculous. No way they’re not tampering when this many guys are going into the portal surprising everyone, and instantly thought to be Ole Miss bound. It’s obvious.

 

[Orangeburst]

Well we had cheating before and now we have a different cheating. Shocked face.

No way Ole Miss is getting both Pounds AND Heard… right?
