Had to ask myself, who-t-f is Tyler Byrd thas switched from us to UM? Anyone know why he switched to UM when it appears we are grabbing several of their commits?

Also, while it indicates Nate Craig-Myers is uncommitted, I'm still waiting for us to hear where he is really leaning. Admittedly, this list is focused on kids who de-committed from SEC schools, the take away I got was that we are a long way from signing day - we have to hold onto the kids we have, but there are a lot more we can get if we do it right. No sky falling as yet, IMO.

Much of the reason I don't follow recruiting too closely until right before NSD. You could drive yourself nuts trying to figure out what a teenager will do next. I think that's what's wrong with GatorJ.

Craig-Myers is leaning FSU. Not an overwhelming lean. But a lean nonetheless.

I agree completely, plus I refuse to contribute to the ongoing expansion of the egos of these kids.

We want you to come to Florida, we believe it is a decision you will embrace for the rest of your life.

If you want someone to kiss your a$$, I suggest you try one of our rivals, they have mastered the art.

What the heck is going in with Mullen? 5 of those decommits are his. I thought he was supposed to be the next coming if Jackie Sherrill?

maybe they just realize how sh!tty Starkeville is?

MSU seems like a great offer...until you get another.

I guess so. One of them preferred to go to Syracuse over Starkville.

Mullen is an average coach that lucked into Dak Prescott who was a 3 star QB. If not for that, he would have lost his job.

Precisely.

The whole MSU thing will pass shortly. I laugh out loud every time I hear "Starkvegas". Apparently nobody in Mississippi has ever been to Vegas.

Both the Mississippi schools are on overtime for their fifteen minutes.

Hopefully Mac & staff are talking to that 4-star OT that decommitted from MSU on 5/18.

Mullen is like 1-30 vs. ranked teams.

When he gets raceboated by Mr. Freeze again, he's gone.

I'd prefer getting waterboarded daily to either.

Amen.

Considering that only 1.7% of college players ever play pro ball the only thing a kid should be interested in when looking at schools to play for are the quality of the degree, the quality of the campus and the quality of the women. Period.

And not necessarily in that order.
