I feel for the guy. He's being pulled in every direction.... I'm pretty sure he took this stance because he wants the Bama coaches and media to get off of his back.... nice troll work though by the big man.Quote:

Yep. Our idiot fans have already begun to get on Twitter and start saying negative shit. How hard is it to understand that he probably got back to Meridian and caught hell from Bama friends, staff, fans, etc...so he did what he had to do to keep the heat off. Doesn't change his decision. Our fans just need to respect him, be confident, and kick their feet up & chill.Quote:

You need momentum? I am sure our staff and our recruits have all the mo they need. Yancy like Xanax and wine, I like a stiff drink and quiet mediation on the Word...you need to find something that helps you relax.
Well all I'm going to say about it is that it would actually be nice if guys that commit to us would actually take a stand and not act like they are somehow ashamed that they committed to us. That's the way it almost comes across. We have a damn good program! I mean good grief, get on the train and help us get others on the train!Quote:

I guarantee that Kobe, Scott, Jeffery, etc all know the real story with Raekwon & aren't depending on recruiting writers & social media.Quote:

Kobe & Lashley particularly have held off on committing to MSU for a year so that they could go on visits & be recruited. They didn't do all that to cave in right when they can go on visits.
I don't know if AJ has ever been as close as Kobe & Lashley to committing, but you could say the same for him. As much as he's talked about leaving Starkville, even if he signs with MSU, you can't bet he's going to travel, take visits, & milk every last drop out of this recruiting process.
Not sure on Simmons.
Oh yea perception wise yea it would. I was speaking strictly from a prospect standpoint. They know what's going on.Quote:

Just say it. You want them to commit so that YOU feel better about it.Quote:

I'm not melting over this. I melt over game results... See last 4 basketball game threadsQuote:

Couldn't complaining about others complaining about it be considered just as "silly"?**Quote:
