Topic: I need MCA23

[Always THE HERD]

discussion / comments or whatever regarding MU athletics at MU as of today. He certainly seems to be "in the know". Looking forward to his reply.

[Always THE HERD]

Come on MCA23, let us know what is really happening.

[CharlestonHerdGuy]

He's gone dark.

This thread is like having a bat in the cave.  You'd hope people would tell you because it's embarrassing but they don't because it's embarrassing.

There's not a lot to say really as the new regime is just about business unlike the last one that just wanted to tweet every 5 minutes for attention.

I can say that Gibson and his staff are burning it at both ends going through the portal and big money donors are stepping up enough to entice big time recruits to visit.

I don't know what to make of the Spears situation.  I've heard some chatter though I am not sure how to digest it as it's unsavory.  I do know that he was indeed fired.  I personally haven't heard any names yet of possible replacements.

Back to recruiting.  I haven't been on the boards in about a week since I've been busy at work trying to close the year out early for the holidays and not sure if you all have discussed it, but there are three really big time players we're currently working on.  One on offense and two on defense.  Landing any one of them would immediately elevate their side of the ball and any combination could lead to Gibson storming out of the gates.  I can't say their names now because these are the types of recruits that the staff would like kept on the low.  Maybe we get them and maybe we don't, but the fact that Gibson could even get them on campus for a visit says a lot.  Especially in this day and age if NIL.

Also something interesting about Gibson's portal targeting.  He seems to be putting an emphasis on players that we have recruited in the past and not landed, players that were here and left, and players with ties to the area.  We've already seen the return of two players that transferred out in 2022 and 2023.  We've also added one WVU transfer and wouldn't be shocked to get a couple more.

A player to keep an eye on is Jacksonville State's QB.  Zion Turner.  He just hit the portal.  He was at UCONN prior to JaxSt.  I believe he was UCONN's QB when we faced them in the MB Bowl.

That sounds great.  Looking forward to see who he brings in.

If Spears was fired then why was he with Brad Smith at the womens game. Why is he still on Herdzone?

Wouldn't read too much into him being at the game and Herdzone hasn't been useful since....well since Spears got here. Hopefully that changes now.

I wonder if Zion Turner will be the only QB we recruit? As posted in another thread he wasn't the Jax State starter this year. After an impressive freshman year at Jax State, Turner has only made two of six passes the last two years.

I wonder if the starting QB for Jax State in the bowl game has any eligibility left? He is listed as a Senior, so he might not have college playing time? Might as well bring in the starter if you are going to bring in the backup?

Just Old Fairfield regurgitation (aka speculation).

Nothing new.

Thank you MCA23 for getting back in touch with us! I know all about "year end" stuff. I had to be concerned with that for many, many years before retiring. Go Herd!

Are you hearing both Spears and Huff were good fans of volleyball?

If Spears was fired then why is he still doing his job?

[jdherd]

Yes...isn't it customary when an AD has been terminated to be escorted out of the building in handcuffs?

[MUfan08]

What is it when he has resigned (to avoid being fired at the beginning of the year)?

I can't imagine him being terminated and still working. Maybe he agreed to resign at a certain date?

Could be just trying to kiss ass

Could be the case. Imagine the PR of firing Spears right before Christmas after dropping out of the bowl game.

I wasn't quoting you, I was thanking MCA23 (if you want to re-read my post).

[jdherd]

I apologize to you folks...I was just making a joke as if in fact he had been fired and there should have been more definite signs that he had been if that is in fact the case.
