re: Ole Miss likely flipping 4* QB Matt Corral from Florida

Oh, they didn’t want you.’ That’s not true. I was going to sign the papers that day, the day they told me I was the guy. So, I got the feeling that I was the guy only because nobody else wanted to be and I was just the backup

I told Florida I’m the guy. Don’t recruit anyone. I said we’re done,” said Corral. “Coach Mullen said ‘We’re done recruiting. You’re out quarterback. You’re our guy.’ Alright, set.

I hit Florida up later that night, but nobody picked up. I don’t know if they felt something was going to happen, but none of them picked up.

This is a very odd sequence of events... It reads an awful lot like Mullen's word isn't good for shite if I'm following. Admittedly, it's conversational speech and doesn't flow super well out of context like this... but if we turn that into simpler versions:

1) Corral was "the guy" by default - no better options... but he was OK with that
2) They agreed that he would be "the guy" and UF wasn't recruiting any other QBs
3) Florida didn't answer his phone calls after clearly continuing to recruit Emory Jones

Not a big deal, but not a huge endorsement for Mullen's "relationship building" skills...
