Matt Wommack flips to Alabama

That's a tough one for the Rebs. That being said, I can't stand when in-state kids leave Mississippi. The two universities in this state offer exceptional facilities and every opportunity that out of state schools offer.

I hope this year will go a long way to change that thinking by young kids in this state, and I hope there aren't many Matt Wommacks in the future.

Kid seems like a front runner

After many weeks of thinking I've decided to change my commitment from LSU to The University of Alabama. There's no place like it! Roll tide

Thought he grew up an lsu fan and it was his dream offer.

That's what we were told. Turns out he's just a front runner.

This is probably good news for OM in that bama added another tackle right? Talking about Richmond

Can we expect lsu to look at champion now?

What's also interesting is that Wommack had already signed his "Financial Aid Agreement" with LSU. Not sure I've seen a guy flip after doing that.

Would it matter?

Interesting deal here, could throw some stuff up in the air. I don't think it affects us but I know that many OMers had him in the bag already as a Merry Flipmas present. Are we sure he's not going to flip again?!? LOL

I'm just glad we have backed off. There is a lot of drama that surrounds this young man. This may affect us, but I'm not sure.

My guess is that LSU knew this was a possibility, and would have been heavy on Champion already if he was their top guy

This is setting up for the 'ultimate' landbearshark flip. All of this is being engineered by the tsun media propaganda, come early Feb they will be able to claim that they flipped this one from LSU, UA and MSU, that they overcame all in landing this prize. ***

His Momma and Girlfriend are OM fans. Lot of Ole Miss folks in his family. Dad has said it'll be his decision though. I'd pick Bama over LSU, can't blame him. Won't be long before someone on Rebs 247 will DM his dad asking if he got a Crimson Truck!

Probably right. I expect OM to come hard after champion anyway.

I don't see Wommack as a T personally....

He isn't. He is a OG. I don't care what they are telling him, he will end up at OG.

We can worry about champion in 2 years when we have to recruit him again.

Champion is fine whether OM or LSU. I agree with both Hancock & Engie no way Womack is a OT in the SEC. I do think he can be a quality OG tho.

No chance he makes it?
