is very connected in the Bama circle. I was talking to him this morning, and he told me "State had a very good offer on the table for Patterson so he decided to visit MSU instead of Tennessee. Ole Miss flipped out and made an offer unheard of even at Bama. Four men came and took Pat away for the weekend, and no one can reach him." He then went on to tell me that they always thought they could get the best offer in on Pat if Randle chose LSU (which looks likely) but that they can obviously do nothing about it if they can't find Pat.
