Yea just take a look at Twitter and he's openly recruiting for the bears and constantly saying something to Avery about OM.Quote:

Yea exactly. Maybe CJ will see that dumpster fire for what it really is.Quote:

They do it EXACTLY like AJ did. He wrote the book on it. Be uncommital until Signing Day. Why would you put yourself through an entire school year of dealing with the crap that he's going to have to deal with??? Why push your commitment up?? Commit on Signing Day and limit the harassment! Hell, I bet he's uncommitted by BDC.Quote:

Btw I don't have any proof what so ever that Avery will end up at OM just the vibe I've been getting lately. I firmly believe that Willie and CJ want to go to the same school though where that be state or OM.
I still believe Avery and Akers both end up at OM. They are both waiting for their individual moments to commit. And Willie isn't a Leo type situation. There isn't a silent commit here or anything like that. It's more of a Lashley situation right now where he has too many voices in his ear. But it's June, it'll all change when he starts making officials. You don't think Kobe Jones just gonna let Willie scape out to a place with nice trees and shit, do you?Quote:

I follow recruiting. Usually the obvious direction is the way things end up going. It's very "weird" that a Starkville kid would commit to om in friggin June...probably for good reason. Using terms like "last bit" when referring to the hope that he flips in this situation is a reach. There are gobs of evidence out there to support it. Hell, Robbie Faulk said his family reached out to our staff immediately after the commit and have been in constant contact ever sinceQuote:

Gay is gone, and expect Avery to follow.
On a side note..Erroll Thompson could throw Willie Gay 3 rows into the stands.
Yep, unfortunately it ain't Our State 'no mo or so it would seem.Quote:

He didn't go there because they "recruited" him harder or got on him first...Quote:

Why didn't Brandon Smith get an offer? I see he committed to Iowa recently. My friend coaches him & thinks highly of his ability. Do you think he's an SEC-caliber player?
I like Brandon & think he's a good player. His biggest question mark is his speed. He's just down the board some.Quote:
