Oklahoma is pretty much a Texas university. The majority of their players come from Texas.Quote:

Other than TCU and Baylor, OU is closer to Dallas than their competitors.
Imagine the Hattiesburg having 6+ million people and we praised LSU for recruiting it well.

Wait a minute....When Ealy committed to OM, He would never make it to campus. Now that there is a chance he flips, we think he will pass up baseball and come to college? wth?Quote:

Like A.Alford and AJ Brown?Quote:

That causes them to end up getting a 5 year ncaa investigation because they are too stupid to realize that recruiting a top 5 class to Ole Miss made up of mostly highly rated OOS kids after a 6 win season is a bit too obvious.Quote:

The real question is: if Ealy has a great Summer in baseball, will Bama even want to use one of their 25 signing spots on him?
Ole Miss broke "protocol" is why they got busted. Unethical attorney tactics and $ is why they skated.Quote:

You would think they would run out of tobacco money at some point with all those recruiting classes.Quote:

Can anyone tell me about
Montravious
Richardson
the OT that's already signed? 247 has next to no info on him.
Agree. That's why I said, "if we had a baseball coach"Quote:

dude is a monster. like 6-7 320 if I remember correctly. A little raw, but has pretty good hands and feet.

I'm not expecting Ealy to sign with MSU or play college football.
The only thing I could find was some video coverage. He did appear to have good hands and feet protecting the QB's blind side. He also showed some bull rush ability too. He's also bulked up since going juco.Quote:

I agree...we do need to sign a RB or two this year. Do we have a shot at John Emery and/or Eric Gray? Any others?Quote:

It was mentioned on 247 a good while back that we were recruiting him, but it seemed he didn't return the interest. Also on his 247 profile, we are listed as Cool on his Interests' recruting list. Most also project him to Oregon with USC mentioned a little.. Guess we will see.Quote:
