re: OM & State fans...

We've signed 25 already. And we have a couple more players that will probably commit before NSD which leaves us with 1 open spot. Now I guess we could ask a few to grey shirt or walk on but it seems that Nutt isn't expecting to pick up snoop, pj, Tobias, and defiantly not whitehead or he wouldn't have given our few empty scholarships to some juco DBs that no one else wanted

No. We've only signed 5. 4 Jucos and 1 early HS grad.

We can sign 28 come Feb and we will likely ask one or two to GS(one already that I know of, won't say which though) and will also possible sign and place one or two. Not too mention any of them not being able to make their grades.

and FWIW, those juco DB's were necessary for depth and to actually get some speed in our secondary(which hurt us the most this season).

for those of us that do not follow recruiting except a week before NSD, what's up with those 3?

I think he meant the three in the OP pank, but I'll add PJ in as well.

Brassell- lives 20 miles from Oxford, has family at OM, and is our big money target. USP is OM's pipeline and for the top player since tig to not sign with OM is just a failure by OM.

Tobias- OM's second biggest pipeline in MS is Madison Central through their coach who is a big OM fan. He was a suspected OM lean, but will go wherever Brassell goes, which at the moment is MSU

Whitehead- states first commitment, but really got close to a lot of players including Moncrief and worthy (OM commitments) and Brassell and Tobias (probably going to state). Because they are all so close and all want to play together it is rumored that if Brassell decides to go to OM they all will follow him which will add 3 more 4stars to OM's commitment list and 6 out of the top 7 players in the state.

PJ- was a strong OM lean this summer and it is rumored that he is now leaning towards state because of their success they are having right now and negative racist recruiting against OM, same rumor for whitehead.
