Not surprised he didn't come with us...

its been the trend for a while with this staff that we have difficulty closing the deal on guys if it comes down to the very end. Not really so much with Hooks since we were a late comer to the party on that one anyway but you can definitely apply that to JUCO guys like Z. Smith and Rumph. That's why I'm not going overboard on Brewster just yet. Its great that he's getting us looks from some higher rated guys but as Ricky Bobby might would say, in recruiting if you ain't first you're last.

From all accounts, Z Smith was likely MSU bound til Kentucky hired his coach. Anyways, told you guys the check would clear in the morning.

AU was the big fish in this pond. UGA in the Rumph fiasco. Like RSFM said, Z Smith was a product of circumstance.

Maroon,

I'm sure he looked at our roster and thought I'll never break into the line up. Also, Melvin, "the closer" has lost his touch in this humble opinion.

Sounds like the delay yesterday could have been Auburn admissions deciding if that English class would count.

yea we've got some candidates but now that Boyd is gone we do not have one proven DT on the roster. There's certainly potential in PJ Jones, Curtis Virges, Quay Evans, Kaleb Eulls (assuming he moves inside), and Nick James but NONE of those guys have really proven anything in the SEC. On the bright side I guess, spots are getting less tight all the time.

This wasnt on our staff- the kid was denied entrance into Auburn and State because of a class is the word going around

Can you provide more specifics on this? I assumed Ole Miss, State, and Auburn

were pretty much identical on admission requirements but maybe they are not. Just interested
to know how Ole Miss could get this done and State and Auburn couldn't.

I read that a rumor that Auburn (not State) denied an English class.

Then again, I also read that he actually signed with Ole Miss yesterday, just didn't announce it.

<small><small>There was a class the institution didn't accept, so I couldn't get admitted to Auburn," said Hooks, who added the class in question wasn't one he took at Northeast Mississippi. "The SEC accepted it, but the institution didn't. Ole Miss and Mississippi State accepted it."</small></small>

According to the article, only AU admission was the problem.

"There was a class the institution didn't accept, so I couldn't get admitted to Auburn," said Hooks, who added the class in question wasn't one he took at Northeast Mississippi. "The SEC accepted it, but the institution didn't. Ole Miss and Mississippi State accepted it."

So unless Hooks is wrong or the reporter is misquoting him, State accepted the class.

We just got beat out for the guy. Pretty good run by the staff considering where we were in the race a month ago. The Ole Miss Rebels got a pretty good player

don't bother peaches with facts. yes we were

second, but at least we were second. i'm glad to have him and i'm surprised even 34 would be silly enough to say a kid couldn't get into msu but could ole miss and it takes something for 34 to surprise me with silliness.

To clarify,

when Peaches talks completely out of his *** and is wrong, it's due to "******** rumors." When Peaches talks completely out of his *** and happens to be right, it's due to his impeccable sources.

Auburn's admission standards are a good bit higher than either MSU or UM, thanks to the Ayers Settlement.

Let me 'splain something:

I dont work for the University in any shape, form, or fashion. So that means I do not work in football office.

IF i report something that is dead on? I heard it from someone else, because ya know, I dont work in the football office
IF I report something that is dead wrong? I heard it from someone else, because ya know, I dont work in the football office.

Thats just that way that **** works yo

I think what you're trying to say is that you're unemployed, correct?

And who was your source for the "Uncle Toms" reference? Or was that the product of your own bigoted thinking?
