Smoke ‘em while you got ‘em kids—particularly Georgia, who could potentially lose two guys (if you give any credence to this writer’s opinion).

Kinda surprises me that Lashlee is so high. And Elko was the first one I thought of so surprised to see him at 7

Id have Freeman in my top 10 but not #2. Too many red flags and I don’t think his head is in the right place. He turned down LSU to coach for ND which is an easy way out. Everything LSU touches turns to gold and he obviously doesn’t want the gold

Elko loses value after this season. You heard it here first

I get that this is your schtick ... but Elko—in every ranking I’ve read—has one of the nation’s top defenses in 2021.
His stock will only continue to rise this season.
Very bittersweet for us.

I didn't know Odom was paid that much.

That's not very far from what mizzou paid him as HC.

Jeff Lebby not being on that list surprises me. We all thought he was for sure gone to UCF last year until they got Gus

If Kendall Briles legally changed his last name to Smith, he'd be near the top of this list. But that's fine, I'd like to see him to succeed Pittman down the road. He'd be a great fit as the HC of Arkansas in 5-10 yrs.

LSUstephen17 ain't one of us. Not playing with a Full Deck if y'all know what I mean. Dude needs mental health counseling.

No one from OSU, PSU, or Oregon and other schools not listed as well?

Apparently not.

He’s had like 3 raises because schools keep trying to poach him away.

I was told by Mizzou fans Odom is an awful DC…

They know football up there.
