    It is nice to watch Auburn sitting on the floor waiting to pick up the crumbs that fall from the LSU program.

    Not sure if true or not but there is some chatter that he will go to Bama.

    I wouldn't be surprised since his 1st choice, Auburn, would not take him and Mizzou is even further from home.

    Their schollys must be tight after the last 2 classes.

    I guess it is not official yet.

    TB3, you think they will make room?

    That's true, I heard on Songy's show that with their incoming class, they're something like 18 over the limit.

    I have my doubts though they need DB's. Top 50 CB Millner should sign with them and I guess it depends on what the other guys on the board do, plus who knows what was said in his original recruitment. His father works in weird ways...guess we'll see.

    Fwiw his brother is at Troy - not that it will play a role in his decision but it could.

    I think Bama is thin on schollys. Plus I don't see Tony Jones (Phelon's dad) and CNS meshing very well together. I spoke with Tony Jones right after Phelon and his dad chose LSU. He didn't have very nice things to say about CNS.

    I don't see it happening. Mizzou, State, or Troy maybe.

    I hate to see the Jones's reaching like this. Tony caught alot of flack from the Bama faithful back in Mobile when Phelon chose LSU. Alot of people don't like Tony Jones and see him as a mettling pot stirrer. I thought he was a super nice guy (I literally spoke to him for over an hour when I met him and a couple of times after). I wish Phelon the very best of luck wherever he ends up.

    I think they have 76 on scholarship and plan to bring in 25 this fall. It looks like they already have some pruning to do.
