Good stuff about Nigel Knott and his recruitment...

Always the bridesmaid...

9. Which coach was it the hardest to say no to?
“(Mississippi State coach) Dan Mullen because I really liked their program. They were the first to offer me and had been recruiting me the longest. He was still recruiting me even after I had committed to Alabama. I really respect Mullen.”
10. What happened at the last minute with Mississippi State? I know they contacted you on signing day.
“They did. It wasn’t like a pushy conversation at all, though. I made phone calls to the schools I wasn’t going to that morning. Mississippi State was just telling me that I could wait to make a decision and there wasn’t any pressure at all.”

Still hope he languishes on the bench.

3. Which college would you have considered more seriously if they had offered you earlier in the process?

The third school I went to was Ole Miss, and they didn’t offer me. I just felt so bad because my dad went there and I didn’t get an offer from them and the other two schools gave me one. Ever since that point, it still stuck out to me.

Wonder why OM didn't offer him? I thought they were expecting to get him. At any rate, it was a nice thing to do to contact the "losing" coaches and tell them. Sounds like a pretty upstanding young man.

Exactly. The Anti AJ Brown.

Guessing they thought carter was a done deal

I think he meant he wasn't offered on the visit while State & Bama did?

Yup.

He will for at least a couple of years... WR corps & 2ndary is set for at least that long...

I'm thinking he'll RS in '16, get in on special teams and some mop up duty in '17 and '18.... and be a contributor/starter in ''19 and '20

I like the Cyrus Jones comparison, though...

my understanding was that

we think he is a terrific athlete but weren't as sold on him as a football player. whether we ultimately did offer him or not, i can't say but i do not think the ole miss coaches lost any sleep over not getting him. i do not think anybody at ole miss "expected" to get him. quite the opposite in fact. early on it was said that nigel wasn't really too high on ole miss.....regardless of his dad, and that he really wanted to go to bama. i think bama dumping a grey shirt on him was kind of crappy (assuming that was and is correct) but also pretty telling. he does seem like a good young man.
