Thanks Long Dawg.

So the stories are coming out tonight, after his interviews started popping ... that evidently it was his relationship with Marcus Lattimore that swayed him. Bobby Bentley is the one that started recruiting him at Auburn ... that's where I got the UGA BMac thing confused with Auburn. BMac was in on him at UGA but Bentley was the first at Auburn.

The rest of the story is that evidently Auburn has been really strong over the years at his HS. Auburn is still after him heavily but UGA is the one that is going to get into his head over the next 20 months although the kid is saying it's not going to happen ... promised Bentley, BMac and Boom he is rock solid to SC. Says he has no intention of being caught-up in the recruiting game and his Mother was down with that all the way today. She said they've seen enough of the recruiting game already, it's been going-on since the 8th grade where the kid was a star playing varsity ball even then. So he's already had to deal with three years of it and they are ready to move on to other things between now and signing day.

Everyone who met and talked with him today says he is mature and focused beyond his years. Said he is a really intelligent, special, person even without the football.

Again, the relationship with Marcus Lattimore seems to be the key element because they never talked about football ... just about life.
