Odom is why I don't follow &I despise recruiting.
1. Long commit
2. Decommits and commits to Louisville.
2a. Closes down recruiting.
3. In Starkville this weekend on OV.

I think the early signing days will help. Even better would be to eliminate signing day and let players sign at any time, and bind both the school and the player if they sign (now, only the player is bound, the school doesn't have to follow through with a scholarship in September). You'd eliminate the terms committed and commitable offer from the recruiting vocabulary.

Odom was a done deal and has been a done deal until daddy decided to "take over" son's recruitment. Sound familiar?

Mom and the kid are maroon all the way, daddy wants to push it here at the end.

Isn't dad the one that came with him to OV?

Correct. His momma is a fan. Don't think his daddy is. You can draw your own conclusions on why he's showing up.

Early signing period

I think the Early Signing Period will be good for MSU and for Student Athletes....every year there are athletes who are "committed" to a school who are told to look elsewhere because they were offered in their Soph/Junior year but maybe either didn't progress or work hard enough after being offered....this gives these kids more time to find a fit because the schools will have to tell them earlier in the process to look elsewhere.....It will help MSU because it will cut down on some of these long time commits who might still be looking for a better offer will go ahead and sign or MSU will know that the commit is not as "committed" as he says.... coaches can then move on and narrow their focus filling their rosters.....

However, I see it as a bad thing for the "Recruit-A-Palooza" crowd and media...

Is his dad's name Cecil also?

Just a guess:

Odom- 45% (Mom on board but dad is who has to be "won over" this weekend)
Bulovas- 51% (Everyone confident but why has he not done it yet?)
Bowie- 50% (coin flip)
Rhodes- 49% (maybe but, Hev effect)
Tucker- .01% (nope; Hev effect)

What's your % on the following uncommitted:

Gay- 60% (I wouldn't trade spots with anyone. LSU is the other 40%)
Lenoir- 1% (just don't see us pulling a blue chip west coast guy)
Carty- 15% (looks like SC)
Cooper- 100% if we take him; likely s&p. The more guys that Hev away raises his odds
Sanders- 1% (not a take)
Houston- 33% (I'm deferring to 360)
Sanogo- 40% (likely OM but we have a shot)

But guys. If they insert an early signing period. Then the world loses merry flipmas from the vernacular forever. FOREVER

 

[Bulldogg31]

Isn't dad the one that came with him to OV?

Yes, Dad came with. Mom doesn't need to see us again, she's all in.

Mullen and Daddy need to get on the same page today.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

How do we a chance with Sanogo if we don't offer? Did we finally offer?

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

My conclusion. We're the new Ole Miss. Flipping our own recruits for headlines. *

 

[FreeDawg]

I could be wrong but i was under the impression that we offered. We usually don't take OVs late in the game without an offer. I know 247 didn't show one but I thought that was incorrect. Like I said, could be totally off.

for someone who doesn't follow it, you sure have a lot of details.
