Seriously, nobody buys your superiority crap. Yeah Carmon wanted to commit, just like Robinson begged for a LOI. Give me a break, dude. Just quit trying to convince others of the nonsense you've allowed yourself to be consumed with.

"Ole Miss. Ole Miss is leading right now, I like them a whole lot. They're showing me a whole lot of love, too," he said. "I'm going to go up there and check it out. If I really like it, I like the school and the campus, that's where I'm going to be going.
"It's because I like their program a whole lot, but I want to see how their season goes. Plus, they're losing their top d-linemen, they've just got one left who is a returning starter, and he needs some help. I think that I could help him out in the 4-3 defense."
Carmon said he would like to get his decision over with before the season concludes, as he will enter school in January.
Despite the fact that the Rebels have a big lead right now, he is still in contact with other schools.
"I'm still talking to other schools, of course. I still haven't taken my official (to Ole Miss), so I don't know a lot about how the campus it, so I don't know if I'm going to like it or not so that's why I haven't committed already," he said. "

As was previously reported on the Rivals.com network, Carmon will visit Ole Miss on Oct. 10 when the Rebels entertain defending SEC West champion Alabama at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
"Ole Miss is in the lead right now," Carmon said. "I just like the coaching staff, the facilities and I did a little research on them. I feel like I can go help them in that 4-3 defense. I can help them a lot. If I go there and I like it, I might go ahead and commit."
Carmon, a 6-foot-7, 370-pound defensive tackle from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, is being recruited to Ole Miss by wide receivers coach Ron Dickerson Jr.
"He's telling me I could come in and start right away," Carmon said. "All I have to do is stay healthy and work hard. He's telling me as long as I stay on top of my grades, I'll be OK."

Now the nation's No. 7 junior college player, Carmon has scholarship offers from several schools, and just set up his second official visit.
"I just set up my official to Penn State, for when they play Ohio State (on Nov. 7)," he said. "I really haven't set any other ones up except for Ole Miss, when they play Alabama (Oct. 10). I'll probably set about two more up, but there really aren't a lot of places that I really want to go besides those. I want to set one up for Mississippi State, and I want to set one up to Alabama. But I haven't really been talking to them lately so I haven't set them up."
The four-star prospect said that he's heard from the two Mississippi schools and Penn State the most since Sept. 1. Right now the Baltimore native has two schools currently ranked in the top 10 at the top of his list.
"Ole Miss and Penn State are right up there at the top competing," he said. "Ole Miss is still in the lead right now. There really hasn't been too much going on with that though. Penn State is closer to home, so that's nice, plus the program is good. They could easily take the lead, but like I told Larry, I really don't know until I take my visits. Then I'll make my decision.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; ">

He left Oxford without giving his commitment, but it would be a mistake to assume the visit went poorly.
"It might just happen," Carmon said. "I'm going to call (Ole Miss defensive line) Coach (Terry) Price tonight on some new stuff and if he gives me the right answers, I'm there."
Specifically, Carmon said he wants to know how Price plans to use a player of his frame _ 6-foot-7, 370 pounds _ given how much taller he is compared to the defensive tackles Ole Miss has on campus now. Ole Miss' four defensive tackles _ Lawon Scott, Ted Laurent, Jerrell Powe and LaMark Armour _ are all in the 6-1 to 6-2 range.
"Now they have some short guys," Carmon said. "I want to see where he would put me in terms of where they'd put me on the field."
Ole Miss runs a 4-3 defense and rotates defensive lines, seemingly every four plays, and the Rebels' scheme is appealing.
"I talked to Coach Price yesterday and I asked him about that because they have four junior tackles and how that worked out for me," Carmon said. "He said I'd definitely be in a rotation. He said they rotate every four plays. That's how I observed it (during the Rebels' 22-3 loss to Alabama Saturday). There are really not starters. They all play the same exact time. Some might get a little more reps than others. If I were to commit, I'd be playing. I'd put myself in a position where I can play and I'll play harder than everybody.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; ">

Carmon, who also claims offers from Alabama, Coastal Carolina, Memphis, Mississippi State, Penn State, South Florida and Tennessee, said Ole Miss is clearly the leader.
"I definitely see myself being there," Carmon said. "The players were telling me it's the place to be. They said you go to school and play football and everything else works out."
Carmon said he liked what he saw off the field during his 48 hours at Ole Miss as well.
"My visit went good," Carmon said. "I liked Ole Miss. I like it up there. The fans are good, the coaching staff is good. I like the atmosphere up there. It was live. …It stands good right now. It went well for me."</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; ">

"I haven't decided yet, not until I take all of my visits," said Carmon. "I'm going to Mississippi State over Thanksgiving when they play Ole Miss, I think I'm going to do that. If we keep winning down here, I'm not going to be able to take my visit to Penn State for Penn State-0hio State, because we'll have a game that day if we keep winning. I'll have to reschedule that if that happens."
Carmon seemed to be on the verge of committing to Mississippi just a short time ago, but those plans have appeared to change completely.
"I don't think Ole Miss really needs me right now," he said. "They've got four juniors who are all coming back. I don't think they really need me. I don't know, I haven't really kept in contact with them like I used to after my visit. I don't know that they're really going to fit me."
The 6-foot-7, 360-pound prospect had expected to end up a Rebel, and didn't see this change coming.
"It was unexpected to me, because I didn't know it was going to turn out like that," he said. "I never knew that they were all coming back, I thought two or three of them were entering into the draft, that was what I was told. When I went there for my visit, they told me they were all coming back, plus they're got a freshman coming in, and I don't think they're going to redshirt him. I really don't think that they have much need for me."
With the recent changes, Carmon has also experienced a shakeup at the top of his list.
"It definitely puts the other schools ahead," he said. "Right now Mississippi State is ahead, not really ahead, but with all the schools. I should be making my officials and then making a decision sometime in December or something like that."

Saturday will be the massive JUCO prospects second visit to MSU this season also taking an unofficial visit for the LSU game. But Carmon is expecting the Egg Bowl to be an even better atmosphere than he saw at Davis Wade Stadium on his previous trip.
"I'm expecting the atmosphere to be even better than it was against LSU," Carmon said. "I'm expecting it to be a sold out crowd. I'm expecting a real good time this weekend. That's really what I've been waiting on is for somebody to show me a good time. I'm wanting to see them beat Ole Miss. I'm expecting it to be a close game because Mississippi State has got some defense. I believe they really don't have a lot of offense with their quarterback so I think it's going to be a defensive game."</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; ">
