Some rumors brewing that Jeff Thomas may be ahead of Henry Ruggs for us. I wish his grades were in order so we'd know something for sure.

Houston Nutt backed off of him because of grades.

Sure. Sure he did. It likely had zero to do with the fact that Nutt wasn't a good recruiter and that Lacy was never going to play for him.

Danny Heitert who is also close with STL high school kids says if Mizzou can land the ESL QB, Estes, it would go a long way with Thomas. Whatever that means. Obviously the 2 are good friends so I'm sure it would keep Mizzou in the mix to the end but I don't know that it ultimately is the difference maker. Mizzou has developed a very good relationship with the staff at ESL and there's probably 4-6 kids on the team now from there.

If Cusomano said anything about Thomas, it was probably based off of an actual conversation with him. Though Frank also has done a pretty strong job of pushing Mizzou athletics in the STL. Used to be there was no STL media bestowing Mizzou's virtues.

Cusamano knows what he's talking about with regards to STL kids.

Hopefully he can qualify.

If that's accurate, then he very well could have been turned off by that.

Mizzou will put together a JUCO plan for him if he can't qualify. Bama may not want to mess with it.

Well kids can take an academic redshirt now so maybe we can get him in if his grades aren't horrendous.

I think they are horrendous, but who knows. Hopefully he's got his house in order a bit more recently.

Even Bama couldn't find a way for Emmons and Davis.

Let's go ahead and subtract some points off of posting credibility.

SEC Country confirmed Davis’ eligibility (based on current grade-point average and test scores) with Jones coach Steve Buckley.

Eh sorry, I saw the post about them being ineligible on the rant. I'm not so up to date with Bama that I bothered checking if that was still accurate.

I apologize for ever believing something I read on the rant to be true. I should know better.

His HS QB and best friend just committed to us.

Have to believe that helps us tremendously.
