It's worse in a way as of now because they have fully embraced the race card, and it's basically the only OM topic over there lately, and dawgstudent apparently doesn't give a shite.

Ole Miss has him locked up. Big fish aren't going to follow him one way or the other, I seriously doubt him coming or not coming will affect their decisions. I like what Freeze and staff are doing there, RN seems to have formed more of a relationship with current players rather than recruits. It's always risky to rely on a recruit to hold your class together rather than the team and they have executed well in that sense. I think you are also right on Connor, RN will have no affect on him one way or the other. The in state guys especially, they have already played with Chris Jones so they know they are getting on with a great talent at DE regardless of the school they pick. I think you get him but I don't think it will influence anyone else, if you get Lawson etc.. It will be because you recruited well not because you landed one kid.

LSU fans said last week that they weren't even realistically in the game for him and now he is the leader?
I dont think anyone said LSU was the "leader", just a bigger player maybe than you would think, and add UGA into that mix.

I also believe RN to OM, but seems like he would issue a verbal already and help solidify the recruiting class as early as possible.. I understand some wait till signing day, but we're talking about a player who has already committed/decommited once.

The staff KNEW that Mark Dodson wasnt going to Vandy. Heck, everyone knew. They didnt try to stop him from making some hype for his signing. I think RN is doing the same thing. Just adding hype to his decision.
If I had to guess he and Treadwell both pick Ole Miss at the UA game.

I disagree. I don't know how big of an impact a commitment from RN would have but I definitely think it could help. daniels was thought to be an ole miss lean early and then committed to clemson just after RN did and then decommitted right before RN did. and Kailo was quoted as saying something like he knew who ole miss was getting and he didn't want to have to play against those guys.
I'm not saying that I think it will be a deciding factor in any of their recruitments but it would have to get guys thinking

There aren't many cons of a verbal agreement..

RN definetly got us involved with Treadwell, Lawson, Daniels and to some extent Coley. It has been stated numerous times that those guys knows where RN stands and Freeze would ask him to commit before NSD if it would hurt us with them if he waited. Freeze is letting him build up some excitement for his decision but I don't think anything has changed in the last month with him and OM.

Yeah I'm definitely not saying it will hurt. For the in state kids I don't think it's a factor though. They don't know him and have just finished spending a week with Jones, I'm not trying to blow more of that smoke but we all saw how he performed Saturday. If the guys left out there want to play with Kalio, Mix, Jones, and all the others they have met and played with they will come to state and if not then you straight won the recruiting battle with them. RN won't be a big factor.
Also when you get down to it, you can follow RN or go to Bama/LSU Etc... Let's be honest, 4 years from now the probability of State or Ole Miss developing a DE to out shine whoever Bama picks up this year is slim, regardless of who the kid is. (not to say we may not have a better player, but that player wont reap the benefits, publicity, and supporting defense of the one across the state line) That being said who are you going to follow, a recruit who is yet to start his college career or Nick Saban? If they were in state it could be different, but as I said earlier they have what likely in their eyes is an equal talent already committed to state who they have also formed a bond with.

No it's common sense based on the history of RN's recruitment up to this point.

Okay good. So it's not from an actual news source, but rather from a message board full of people who have convinced themselves that they're a legitimate source of information. Got it.

Nice Yancy?

I doubt he is actively trying to build hype and as an Ole Miss fan I doubt you want a kid who would do that. It seems more likely that he is just wanting to make sure. He has committed and then withdrew it once already, the next decision he knows has to be final and I'm sure he is just making sure he gets it right. Nothing wrong with that and is probably the smart thing to do.
