TROY – Ready for the dirt on Southern Miss? Ready for some real bulletin board material before this week’s Troy-USM game? Ready to get the scoop from somebody who knows all about the Golden Eagles?
Reid Rials fires this zinger: “It’s a great school,” Troy’s graduate transfer said after a recent practice. “I still have a lot of life-long friends over there, guys who I still talk to every single day.”
Then this: “No ill will towards them or vice versa. They were very supportive. I think that whole program would say they’re happy for me.”
He was a verbal commitment to nearby South Alabama, but a late recruiting pitch flipped him to Hattiesburg, Miss.
