Maybe I missed something earlier, but USM announced that one of our juco OL commits Norman Price signed with them.
I wonder if he flipped or if we encouraged him to go elsewhere? Anybody have any insight?
Same story always seems to hold true... Juco recruiting is always odd
Steve Robertson says Price's girlfriend wanted to go to USM. Price visited last week without anyone knowing and liked it. His family wanted him to honor his commitment to MSU. His girlfriend wanted him to come to USM with her. His girlfriend won.
There is a valuable lesson in this. That stuff between a woman's legs has been leading men around for centuries, and it will continue.
When the "little head" is making the decisions that is the tell all! At least he gets to see early in the season what a horrendous decision the "little head" made!!
very well put. Those long practice and workout days are going to suck while losing the majority of the time.Quote:

I'm not worried about our guard position thanks to Clayborn and Justin Malone emerging. Beckwith is solid as well. Then we have Kent Flowers, maybe Jake Thomas although I think he ends up at tackle, and Damien Robinson has experience at guard as well.
Out of the Price and our other JUCO OT, was one clearly better than the other?Quote:

I'm not sure which one was better, but we need OT's. Based on that alone, I would probably take Johnson over Price.Quote:

Thought Price was an OT. Don't we have two JUCO OTs?Quote:

This is why i don't feel bad about Liggins situation.
A commitment means NOTHING to majority 17 year olds (20 years olds too)
Just means D Robinson needs / has to step up now..Quote:
