Who all is visiting this weekend?

Looking that way. Can't say I'm shocked at all. He's said for a while the lack of NCAA resolution would impact his decision. I'd hoped the realities of playing WR in Starkville would catch up to him, but, hey, he's got mouths to feed and needs to do whatever he thinks is best for him

^^^ On the other hand, what could be more important (aside from the death of a close relative or the flu), to miss the last visit to the school where you might spend 4 of the most important years of your life. However, I don't think Akers visited FSU the week before he committed either, so who knows. It ain't over, til it's over. Lastly, as I've said before, I won't believe anybody signs with us these days until the ink is dry. #suethencaa

I'm never going to blame a teenager for making a football decision he feels best for him. I'm not sure what's going on is even drama, but I do want him to be a Rebel. There are a lot of signs suggesting he won't be, and I won't be surprised if we lose him, but it'll suck to lose him. It does seem odd and doesn't bode well when there's so much speculation around a guy who's been committed for over a year though, so the only real answers will come Wednesday

I follow this recruiting a little too much, I suppose, but I really don't understand the dynamic behind a player being committed to a school for over a year and then picking another on signing day. It's just weird. Then again, maybe that will happen, maybe it won't.

Then why stay committed? What's the point of staying committed somewhere for over a year only to jump ship in the 11th hour, without ever formally decommitting? I don't think we get him, which is a shame, but his recruitment has been kinda odd, even if he has made it clear the NCAA investigation will have some impact on his decision. Obviously, definitely want him if he sticks

I was speaking generally, not regarding the Hunchback's sleeper cell tactics. Leo Lewis, Jeffrey Simmons' "silent commitment," Willie Gay naming us over State in his top 2, etc. I understand the dedication to troll attempts. 0% of fans should be surprised if Bowie flips. They should be disappointed though because it's a kid we've had committed longer than most of the rest of the class combined. Plus, there's no "gotcha!" moment if three no surprise, so I'm not sure what the point of the current charade would be

Get your feelings hurt?
