Didn't come to any camps or games, despite it

This is not true...I know this kid personally...
From the day he committed, he shut down his recruitment, even when other schools came calling. He went to most of Ole Miss home games this season as an unofficial visitor. I believe he missed 1-2 games including the Egg Bowl towards the end of the season due to an illness and another obligation. He was in frequent contact with his primary recruiter and has everything lined up to graduate in May as planned all along.
Btw... they had Alfred Dickens '14, same school, grey shirt this year...kid was at the local CC....they have dropped him as well.
If he had refused to camp and had not visited at all during the season and was looking around, as Ole Miss wants you to believe, then why not cut ties earlier? Why do they still want him to grey shirt, but not want him to look around between now and signing day if all that was true?

I would assume he had everything lined up to graduate in May, most high school seniors should be preparing that way.
Very unfortunate that the staff didn't see him as a fit anymore, he was committed prior to his senior year. They may have felt he hadn't developed enough.. Who knows.
What is known is the roster will be short on LBs next year and the team will need experienced lbs because unfortunately there won't be time to develop. They will probably need to bring in another Juco LB as well.
I hope the young man finds somewhere he can shine, and does great things in his career.
