So is Beale now supposedly heading to Ole Miss??

[Barton Fink]

I sure hope that Lockett kid pans out. He's been committed to us for like 4 years.

I haven't seen anything on that.  He committed to us yesterday.  Nothing on twatters to suggest he's changed his mind.

I just had someone text me this morning they read something on a pay board.  I hope it's not true

It's not.

[bogeyfree]

It wouldn't make sense but you never know these days

[vegashog]

there's an old thread still up on the 247 board when he cancelled his visit earlier in the year and the thought was he would go to ole miss.

Derail...

Recruiting name of the year. Would've loved hearing Paul call the miracle on Markham to FatRat.

Already collecting that sweet nil money.

[vegashog]

don't have a rivals/on3 account, but it looks like we are going after a 4* qb that decommitted from auburn after the golesh hire.

archer may not be happening.

When Archer de-committed the other day and didn't wait for the Arkansas hire it pretty well told me he wasn't coming. 

Potentially we'll... KJ Jackson, Trevor Jackson (FSU transfer), Grayson Wilson, so we'll probably add a freshman and maybe look at a transfer if/when someone makes a business decision.

Silverfield had a backup QB at Memphis that is almost identical size wise to KJ but more a pocket passer.  Will be interesting to see if he tries to get him thru the portal.

Apparently UCF processed Archer.

[Feral]

What's the deal with Archer? Did he just stop growing and schools backed off?

Wasn't he being recruited by everyone under the sun years ago?

[BASS]

I'm curious who is on the roster and can come back, and we want them back, but won't do it.
