Coaches cooled on him. He didn't want to deal with our depth......



In all seriousness though I think pressure to stay home was the biggest factor.

Extended family, foster mom, and girlfriend seemed to have swayed him towards Mizzou. He always liked them, so the fact that he picked Mizzou isn't a huge surprise. He just didn't love Arkansas enough to make up for the positive aspects Mizzou could offer.

Also, supposedly he was told he could play BBall at Mizzou...not sure on that.

Hearing rumors about Philon from Bama but I don't believe it. I think Otha was our surprise and I'll take it.

Are we ever going to hear anything on Javon Williams?

Was he the backup plan?

Or are we going to end up signing Culp?

Saw this on RT

quote:

MikeHerndon_PR Mike Herndon Darius Philon says he's undecided between Ala and Ark, then stands and puts on #bama cap.

MikeHerndon_PR Mike Herndon Odd scene at Vigor. Philon leaves stage early, ducks media. Did not seem all smiles as you would expect. #bama

MikeHerndon_PR Mike Herndon Trying to get confirmation on whether Philon actually signed. Coach tells TV crew "he's real distraught."


They're speculating that Bama might have pulled his offer.

Yeah, that's why some people think it's all just a bunch of BS invented by John Beckham.

I'm hoping we see him as a DT. We've got plenty of DE's in this class. A 6'1" 285'ish high school kid could easily be a DT.
