The #1 DT in the nation who previously has given a soft verbal to Mizzou

One of my friends just told me he has decommitted and is considering OU as one of his options


Is there any truth to this at all?

I wouldn't put too much stock into that

They don't even have Lynn listed as committing to us yet


I'm just saying I have come to understand that there is at least a speck of truth to every rumor out there.

Which is why I said Rivals listed him as a "soft" verbal as opposed to a "solid" verbal.

True. I was assuming you were arguing that he's still committed to mizzou and that if there was any truth to it, rivals would have something about it.

We all know what happens when we assume...

If it is who I'm thinking of, he occaisionally returned kicks for his high school.

That's what his Rivals bio said. I know I wouldn't try to tackle him. ;)

Yep, he returns kicks.

He is visiting Miami and that is all I know.

Sheldon Richardson said he received a call a couple weeks ago from Florida coach Urban Meyer, who told the St. Louis (Mo.) Gateway standout that the Gators were down a few defensive linemen and he was wondering if they had any shot at landing him.

I don't have an account so that's all I could get.

Why would a player of his caliber go to a no-name school?

Since we have McFarland then he'll go elsewhere.

I understand he is likely to go elsewhere in that to my knowledge we never really have been in on him, but IMHO your logic doesn't wash. I think most of these 5 star recruits want to compete and want to be on teams with other 5 stars, with the caveat that they may also look for early PT. Which would probably be the biggest reason he wouldn't come to us with a veteran rotation of McCoy, Granger, and Taylor in front of him. And even that doesn't always wash with kids desiring to be part of elite programs.

Look at it this way... We signed arguably the top two backs in Texas last year, not to mention the WR class we signed until Jarboe turned out to be a knucklehead. (BTW, did you see he was recently arrested again? Glad he's not our mess.)

Edit: Or maybe I took your post wrong and you meant that we were only looking to sign one DT???

He doesn't want a 1-star penalty deduction for not signing with UT or USC.
