By Ray Glier - Ray Glier is a free-lance writer and a frequent contributor to NBCSports.com. Feb. 1, 2005 National signing day is Wednesday and by Thursday morning college football coaches will be able to stand upright again. They have been made to crawl for two months by teenagers fast enough to run down rabbits and strong enough to lift a VW by the back bumper. Actually, the coaches have been made to do worse than crawl. They have had to spend more money to re-recruit a kid who announced one day for U, but two days later declares for State. The word the coach hates most is the word you will not find in the dictionary or on your spell check. De-commit. The top-rated high school quarterback in the country, Ryan Perrilloux, committed to Texas. A year later, Perrilloux was visiting Mississippi State, entertaining Florida State coach Bobby Bowden in his home, and giving second thoughts to LSU. He found out others loved him, too. Perrilloux is wavering on Texas and eyeing the Tigers. Full Article
Rivals has removed RP from Texas' list of commitments: http://texas.rivals.com/commitlist.asp I heard that some of the horn fans are in meltdown.
Have you looked at Rivals, not only did they remove Perilloux from their commit list check out his list, it has LSU high and UT Medium.... I wonder what spawned that, last night it was both LSU and UT equal and UT committed. Stange. Wow the UT fans are showing their class. "What Perriloux has apparently done goes way beyond simply chaning his mind. He lied to our coaches less that a week ago and reaffirmed his committment 100% when he apparenly was recruiting for L$$$$$U. That is deceptive and underhanded and shows that he has huge character flaws. I will never wish Perriloux one bit of luck on or off the field" I always love how other schools call us cheaters etc etc if we get any recruits.. Funny all the recruiting stories in the SEC and not once has LSU been even mentioned, even in the Alabama trial, UGA, UK, Bama never LSU but for some reason these bozos put dollar signs. UT is the funniest, they have more drug problems on that team in 3 years the LSU has had in 10, tack on Ricky Williams and they have 3 players in recent memory with drugs... A&M has had 9 player arrests. Yet LSU cheats. Always amusing. I still think RP goes to UT.
A representative from Rivals what as Bennet's announcement last night. Allegedly he saw a text message from RP to Bennet urging him to commit to LSU. Rumor only of course.
This has got to make Mack cringe. He doesn't have a backup to Young. Young is a runner, as such, subject to injury. Texas shot a blank in QB recruiting last year. The burnt orange faithful have got to be nervous.
They should be in meltdown. Texas should have changed coaches. Brown will continue to be the guy who never quite makes it to the top with more than enough talent to get there. RP could also still pull a real stunner and become a literal god on the MSU campus. less than 24 hours and counting...
