    Yeah, there's a thread about him in the recruiting board...but if I had to lay money on it, I'd bet he decommitted from MSU to follow Diaz. Hopefully I'm wrong though. He has stated if not MSU, it would be LSU...but that was a while back...and the situation is different now with the Diaz thing.

    Don't see him headed to Texas and seems like the general consensus on the boards. Either MSU or LSU imo. He will visit OM too but I don't see him there either.

    I hope you're right. I just think it's awfully coincidental.

    His main recruiter left to be ULL's head coach and then the DC leaves to go to Texas. Not so much a decommit to go with the guy to Texas as it is about the coaches he was going to play for are no longer at the school so he is reopening his recruiting in case he doesn't like who Mullen gets to replace them.

    Remember, Mac Brown would have to want to take him as well.

    Not coincidental when you consider that both his recruiter and now the DC have left the program. I am sure he wants to make sure MSU is where he wants to be but I don't see Texas jumping in with very little to no contact with him previously. Distance is also a big factor for him.
