Bo Wallace commits to Da Bears

[olemissbydamn]

He supposedly has a girlfriend in Oxford and wanted to go there out of HS also.

No spin from me. This is about PT. He has a better shot at OM.

And he isn't the only player on either of our rosters who has ever factored in PT when making a decision.

sounds good and plays it off on this board as fact, just as he has done on nearly every subject for years.

Here's a short, recent list of Coach34 predictions:

Pat Patterson will not decommit from State, much less for Ole Miss. This, despite wearing an Ole Miss shirt (while committed to MSU) to the Dandy Dozen shoot.

Carlos Thompson to MSU.

CJ Johnson will not sign with Ole Miss. We see how that worked out.

Brassell and Market will both stick with MSU.

Brassell won't qualify.

Singleton won't qualify.

Singleton Quits.

Bo Wallace will not play for Freeze.

Ward is deciding between MSU and Alabama....until he wasn't. Ward had actually been committed for months, privately, to Houston Nutt's staff. Happened sometime in October if I remember correctly. He always wanted to announce it on TV, both staffs were happy with that, and after Freeze and staff met with the family on campus (twice), they stayed committed.

Coach doesn't know **** about recruiting. He seems to think his sources, which obviously get their information from the least reliable MSU recruiting "guru" out there (Rosebowl), know what they're talking about. Newsflash: Rosebowl doesn't have a damn clue. Y'all may not like Yancy (hell, I don't even care much for him), but when he says something is going to happen with a recruit MSU and OM are after, you can pretty much bank on it. His information is much better than any MSU reporter.

of quitting when faced with competition, it really is no surprise he picked om. He will most likely be in the running for the starting qb position from day one. On the other hand, had he picked State, he would have been 3rd string from day one; The same situation he was in at Ark State and decided to get out of. I guess it's no surprise.

Is this supposed to be a "we didn't want a quitter" post? That's basically how you rationalized in your first sentence. Your QB guru did recruit him. He did offer his a scholarship when we were still trying to get him to walkon. You forced our hand at giving up a scholarship and we left you looking for a 3rd QB on your roster.

There is no guarantee that he would be third string at MSU or 1st string at OM, but yeah...looking at it from the point of you guys having a guy that's been taking SEC snaps coming into the spring and another that seems to be a better fit and has been in Mullen's offense for a year, he probably factored that into his decision when choosing. I don't blame him. As I said, we've both picked up commitments every year based on depth chart issues at other schools.

Since when did transferring for a better opportunity become being a quitter?

We have both had and have similar transfers on or rosters now.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I'm just pointing out the facts as to why he more than likely picked om. Everything isn't a shot at your beloved Harvard of the South. The guy transferred from a school because he was faced with competition, according to you. He then is being recruited by two schools. One with a seemingly stable QB situation, where the depth chart is pretty much set, and another where the QB situation is a disaster and pretty much open.

Where did I once say that we didn't want him in my post? I think he would be a great 3rd string QB. I think you got too worked up over my original post and didn't comprehend it too well.

What exactly is leaving one school because you don't, or can't, do what it takes to start then, if not quitting? Taking a break...ado-over?

Here's a short, recent list of Coach34 predictions:

Pat Patterson will not decommit from State, much less for Ole Miss. This, despite wearing an Ole Miss shirt (while committed to MSU) to the Dandy Dozen shoot.- I'd like to see a ]

Carlos Thompson to MSU.- another link please?

CJ Johnson will not sign with Ole Miss. We see how that worked out.- I did miss on this one early on. Once I got word of what went down, I knew where he was going.

Brassell and Market will both stick with MSU.- I've never said **** about Market, dont know anything about him

Brassell won't qualify.- your staff did a great job pulling that one off. Getting him eligible for next season will be a big chore as well.

Singleton won't qualify.- I said it would be close

Singleton Quits.- he did

Bo Wallace will not play for Freeze.- he left Ark St because of Freeze. Thats a normal assumption he would not reunite. He decided to go compete for a starting job rather than be a 3rd stringer at State. Wise choice by the guy.

Ward is deciding between MSU and Alabama....until he wasn't. Ward had actually been committed for months, privately, to Houston Nutt's staff. Happened sometime in October if I remember correctly. He always wanted to announce it on TV, both staffs were happy with that, and after Freeze and staff met with the family on campus (twice), they stayed committed. - there was a whole lot more to it than that- and you know it.

</div>It's recruiting- things change quickly. I've gotten a helluva lot right too. Quay, Autry, PJ Jones, Dee Arrington just to name a few. I've been telling you Bears for months Nick James will qualify when you've said he has no chance- let's see how that one turns out and get back to me.<div>
</div><div>And I could fill up a book on Yancy's misses- how is that visit with Quay going to go this weekend?

Don't make it sound like he is a quitter because he isn't. He bettered himself by leaving Arkansas State and now has better scholarship offers for doind so. Us, Baylor, and the Bears are much better schools than Arkansas State. Say what you want about him, but I sure wish he'd committed to us. I like Russell and Prescott, but if he's better than both, I think Dan would've started him, period. Wallace will have competition in Oxford too and will have to earn it. I hope the girl didn't play a big part in his decision unless he's been dating her for a couple of years or so.

 

[KurtRambis4]

a stupid post, maybe it isn't. I look at it like this, as simple as it can be; He was at a school and didn't do what it took to start, so he quit to go somewhere else and start. Did he not, or did he just take a break? To suggest he would come in and have an equal chance to start at State (compared to OM) is what is stupid. I'm sorry Ms. Wallace, but that's the truth. We were on him for depth reasons for next year. Not because we need a starter. Sure he will have competition at OM, but more than likely, he'll have a better chance starting there next year. Where do you people keep coming up with the idea that I said we didn't want him? I have yet to say that, and won't.

 

[digdawg]

Alford did. Don't know about Liggins. Mullen needs a running QB. When we didn't have one this year, we were lost on offense.
