Q: You're the only Dandy Dozen player who hasn't made a verbal commitment. What's going on with your recruiting?</p>

A: I'm planning on taking an official visit to UCLA (after the season) to see how it is in California and experience something (new). I'm almost to the end of my recruiting process. I know where I want to go, but I'm just not telling anybody. I'm going to announce Jan. 8 at the Army All-American Bowl. The schools in Mississippi have a big chance. I'm looking at what Ole Miss is going to have coming back quarterback-wise and (determining) how many times they run the ball. State is on the rise this year. They've got a lot of recruits coming. But I'm just going to play my game wherever I go and try to beat out whoever's in front of me.</p>
He seems more detailed with his explanation of OM, where as he generally states MSU is on the rise and getting a lot of recruits. This sounds like he may be looking at OM more closely. Despite our recent success, my pessimism still lingers.

I was justexaggerating to show that Flora hasalways had good athletes.<span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">It’s like reading the bible and denying that Neanderthals did not exist because the bible said god created man in one day or dinosaurs are not real because they are not explained in the bible.

... going to be a part of the new "Germantown High School" district? Or will it stay a part of MC's?

They only have a little over 100 students at MC. They want their own school, and have ever since MC opened, and I can understand that.

I think it is State and especially after seeing what happened with Nick..... it is no wonder that he is not going to tell anybody until Jan 8!!

but let me air a grievance.

If anyone thinks that Madison is as wacko as those people from South Panola, that is just plain wrong. Look at Joe Price and his commitment. If/when Tobias commits to MSU, you will see NOTHING like what happened up at Batesville. I'm sure that there will be some disappointed Ole Miss fans, but that is normal.

Not saying that there won't be disappointed people and such, but no one will be even remotely threatened to lose their job, life, or have their house burned down.

Tobias wants to announce on Jan. 8th simply because it is big deal to announce at the US Army All-Star Game. Nothing more and nothing less. If I were him, I would probably do the same.

I know this is a foreign concept to people in South Panola, but we at Madison actually strive to have our town to be known for more than a high school football team and to be a minor league affilliate of Ole Miss.

(Apologies to SouthPanolaDawg)

</p>I take the bold portion of the above quote to be in our favor. Who is going to be the QB at UM next year? I assume Stanley (sp?)(which may be 100% incorrect) but is that really a positive since he is backing up Masoli now?

Ahhh....you are thinking too small and local only. I was talking about the entire black bear internet world and its hordes of facebook stalkers like those who verbally assaulted Nick on facebook and the interwebs.

I played at Madison Ridgeland high in the early eighties and from what I remember we beat them one time while i was there. We played them at their place one night and the damn field was so bad every time you hit the ground some kind of crazy bugs would crawl all over you. That and the potholes in that field. For a little school they had a lot of good athletes.
