I am not one to post unverifiable rumors but this one might (emphasis on might) be worth throwing out there to see if anyone has any other info that fills in the story.

Word is that the NCAA has been interviewing people regarding Fred Ross' recruitment. As you know, Ross was committed to Oklahoma State for a long time before suddenly flipping to Mississippi State. This is a Texas kid with a high school coach in Ricklan Jones that played football at OSU.
quote:

Gerry Hamilton, the national scouting director for 247sports.com, provides more insight on Ross’ recruitment by MSU. (Thanks to John Talty for picking up these quotes)

“I think it’s a big pickup when you consider his head coach is Ricklan Holmes. Not a name known to Mississippi State fans but a really good player and went to Oklahoma State. So (MSU receivers coach) Tim Brewster had to overcome the fact that the John Tyler coach is a former Oklahoma State player. I don’t think he pushed him anywhere, but just one more thing he had to overcome.”

Many are wondering how exactly these obstacles were overcome and to say his flipping has raised red flags is putting it lightly. Word is that they've drawn the attention of OSU's administration all the way up to T-Boone, not to mention the Big 12 as well.

Interviews have already begun and with State already on probation, this could be VERY BAD for Mullen and his Bulldog team.

State fans, what have you heard?

I've heard that you can go to Elitedawgs and read a whole essay written about this that isn't at all about OM even though it talks about OM the whole time and discusses how OM is about to be in deep shite over their shady recruitment of this guy. Unless political forces from above interfere with the NCAA of course































Oh wait, wrong recruit

Don't pretend like TBoone is part of OSU's administration. He isn't even in the same league as Bobby Lowder bro

Ole Miss fans aren't one to be throwing rocks when talking about recruiting.

If I'm a 5* player from anywhere other than Mississippi, there is absolutely no reason to go to Ole Miss other than for $$$$$$$$$$$. NONE.

No NFL Pipeline.
No superior academics.
Not a top level SEC team.
Not in national contention.
Terrible state to live in.
Terrible school to have a degree from.

Money talks.

All the Bigwtf schools are finding out that the better players want to play against the best competition (SEC).

From looking at his offer list, he took the best offer he got!

OSU may be pissed, but they'll just have to get over it after the Dawgs beat them again soon.

osu is arrogant to think they are a power in Texas. They have always gotten only the under the radar guys and leftovers.

T. Boone may not have have a title but he bankrolls their operation, watch out for him.

Alabama
Auburn
Georgia
LSU
Florida
South Carolina
Tennessee
Arkansas
Texas A&M

All historically strong or currently strong football programs who have given ample opportunity for players to "start early". All of these programs are better than what Ole Miss has to offer.

$$$$$

Easy... He has two family members that attend MSU, one being a coach for another sport, if I'm not mistaken.
