  Speaker 1: four seven Sports. Steve, what is the latest on some
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: players possibly coming back because of the rulings in the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: court for Mississippi State.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Well, really, not a lot of has changed, other in
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the fact that the league Sila and Jeron Manning have
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: returned to campus, but they are not eligible to participate now.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Of course, there's some state courts out there that may disagree,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: but the SEC for the most part is kind of
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: waiting out miss appeal in the Tenth Circuit Appellate Court
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: on a federal level, and so that's where things stand.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: And yeah, nobody should expect much soon. But there was
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: some chatter that maybe we'd get an answer on the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: expedited requests for us say, but that looks like it's
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: going to leak in the next week and then then
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens from there.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, when do you expect this to happen in the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: next what's the timeline.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Well, next week. I think next week we'll get So basically,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: what the NCAA has done is there was a two
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: prong motion, right they filed within the District court with
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: jud Charlotte T. Sweening, but they went ahead and filed
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that expedited appeal to the Tenth Circuit, And so they're
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: basically just trying to get everything overturned. And you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: they're you know, the experts are kind of mixed on
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: what would happen here. And from what I've gathered from
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: talking to you know, Tom Mars and some other people
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and reading what they have to say, is that, you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the Tenth Circuit is one of those appellate courts that
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: kind of favors the status quo, and so it'll be
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: interesting to see kind of how this anti trust case
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is viewed.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So that'll be interesting and we'll see
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: how that plays out. All right. As far as what
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you've heard about football practice, what's the most exciting thing
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that you've heard in the last couple of days around
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the Mississippi State football program.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, we've had a chance to take intermal
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: practice too. And the first thing that I would say
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: is that, you know, last year they took a step
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: forward on the roster and on the one beep side
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: they look like an SEC team, But as you guys
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: saw as the year went on, you know, the depth
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: really wasn't there. This team appears to have more depth.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: And well, last year when you had an injury on
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the offensive, why the game was racked, right, I don't
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: think that's the case at this point. They look a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: lot more physical. They're certainly going to be very speedy
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: at the wide receiver position, and I think that's probably
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: always the case under Jeff Leby. I mean, you get
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: back to back all SEC receivers and for the first
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: time in forever you have a receiver drafted to the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: National Football League, and so they're going to be able
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to make plays down the field. You know, the real
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: question is going to be can they protect at a
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: higher level? And I think the early return suggests that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: they should be able to.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you have confidence that the offensive line can
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: be at least solid for Mississippi State.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think if you're Jeff Lebey, I mean
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to be solid is you know, light years of where
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you were last year in the last six weeks of
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the season. You know, I think that's the whole thing
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: would leave when you've got a quarterback and you're trying
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to make plays down the field. You got a guy
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: with a big arm to get it there. You just
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: got to give you some time. And that left tackle
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: position last year was it's an unmitigated disaster much of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the year, especially once you got out of the month
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: of September. And one of the things that I think
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of people maybe tend to forget. Mississippi State's
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: defense got exposed in the second half of that Arizona
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: State game, but then you didn't play anybody for about
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: a month that had the ability to exploit that weakness. Well,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the back half of the season, everybody played had the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: ability to exploit that weakness. And so what Zach Arnett's
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: task will be is to kind of create havoc. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you know, Colman huts Or had this whole read and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: react defense with some guys at times you are marginal
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: SEC players. I think Zach Barnett's got obviously more to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: work with, but also I think schematically he's well ahead
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: of what do you think Coltman huts will put on
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Steve robertson jeans page dot Com two four seven sports,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he joins us on the Farm Bureau Insurance guest line. Okay,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: show offense. You feel like the offensive line will be
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at least a little bit better. And now you've got
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a quarterback who can run. So when you combo that,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the defense will actually have to stay somewhat honest and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: can't just focus on the tailback, I mean that I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: don't even know. We can't really quantify that, but that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: should help. Let's go in the defensive line. What what
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: are you hearing about? What Zach Arnett actually has to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: work with.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is where I think the MO league see
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: what things interesting? You know, because in the Jeff Levy era,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: State has really struggled to get an edge out of
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the portal. Well, you get at Mari Wigans from Florida State,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: who is a freak, right, But that's because of a
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: pre existing relationship with Zach Arnett. Now, Zach that dorn
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: take credit for that, but familiarity certainly helped in that respect.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Duey Jenkins has gotten to done some things
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know the that looks good. I mean,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: it's you know, they're gonna have some guys out there
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: that our net can work with, and it's not going
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: to be a situation where it's going to rush for
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: as you know from the you know, the four years
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that Jack Arnett was here. They're gonna start blitzing in
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: pregame warm ups and if you get them, you get them.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: But it's not going to be a situation where they're
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: gonna let you dictate terms and just kind of talking
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to players. Defensive players have an attack first mentality. They
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: don't want to be on their heels. They want to
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: be out in the front right. They want to go
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: get the quarterback. They're want to go chase the football,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and so it's difficult to prepare for all of the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: slants and exotic fires that they run stuff. And so
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the kids have really embraced this, and even the guys
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: that are returners will tell you this is a lot
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: more fun to play.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Steve Robertson on the Out of Bounds Show, a listener
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: one to know, we've got a minute here, Steve braylen Womack,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: what are your expectations this year?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I think he ends up being a two deeper and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: by the end of the year, because he is so athletic,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I think he'll get a lot of playing time. But
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: you know, Kendall Dolby and Jordan Gilbert are really good players.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And I think that's the thing that maybe people need
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: to prepare themselves for, is even if Jerry Manning gets approved,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: there's a possibility that States recruited over right, and.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: That's a which is a good thing.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Too deeper and so and that's a good thing.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: If Geron Manning is too deeper and he was your
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: primary safety last year, then you've done really well in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the portal.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, So again, thirty seconds to a minute, they believe
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that they've actually hit on more guys in the portal
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the belief today. But until we
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: get on the grass and play an actual opponent, it's
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: tough to really know. But I can just tell you
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: from a looks standpoint. You're watching those guys get out
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: there and run around a little bit, it looks different,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you know, And that's what what our fans want to know. Right.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: They're just so tired to count and games, you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: and hope the eligible but right, yeah, this should be
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: able to do that.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll do this again for a longer segment next week.
• 8:08
