re: 2012 Hueytown QB Jameis Winston

I found this nugget today perusing a few sites,

Winston is no longer considering AU and definitely will not visit AU....Winston was basically told last week by AU coaches on a conference call that AU was going to honor their pledge to Pike as the only QB signee....also stated numbers were tight as they could only sign 24 this year (Prosch transfer)...LSU is heavily recruiting Winston right now as they went to see Winston's girlfriend play bball this week and courting her for an LSU commitment (she plays for Hoover and I believe now currently committed to Baylor; however, was originally committed to LSU - interesting)...FSU or LSU would be my best guess right now with LSU having the edge as they are truly selling out for Winston and him starting as a true frosh...Bama still in the picture with a heavy family influence along with best friend Reggie Ragland. My take....AU coaches feel EXTREMELY confident about closing strong with 8 silent commits on Signing Day and just did not have room to hold a spot for a kid that was a longshot and/or could be playing MLB next year.

Funny how you can go from being a huge troll on the Rivals mainboard to being a semi-insider on 247...
