James Williams signs with OM

It's best just not to react. We know they're going to try to do this every year because they think it means something. I just hope these guys that flip realize OM is pushing for them mainly for their cutesy spite show, less so because they actually want them on their football team. If I were a college football recruit, I hope I'd have a little more pride than to let myself be used like that.
It does mean something. They take players that we were counting on so we have to scramble on somebody down the board. It gives HS players the perception that it is a cool thing to do. Players who are 50/50 will see the heroes welcome the "flipmas" guys get. And they have won 3/4. And just got away with cheating their dicks off. Basically this is a continuation of a trend. That OM can jab us in the eye over and over and we can't hit back even with the NCAA or their head coach calling 17ing prostitutes.
It's comical, it really is. The way they orchestrate these things. Was fairly quiet last year...... sanctions come (or don't)...... and they are right back at it.
The pathetic thing is it's not like the kid woke up today, of all days, and decided he had a change of heart. The only reason this happens is because it is planned between the player and OM for the purposes of malicious intent or to create PR for them. The "everyone wants to come here" theme.
It's stupid.

Kailo Moore was the main (or first) "Merry Flipmas" recruit. 27 tackles in four years for OM. Don't know if he ran track for them.
haha I edited to smack talk a lil...
Truth is I was halfway through a post saying I wouldn't blame him if he waited to sign. He doesn't have a position coach....
Agreed. I don't understand guys like Lukabu(if he's the choice) not already being here and recruiting if he's supposed to be the LB coach. That wreaks of Croom stuff.
Now, if we are going after actual NFL position coaches instead of "assistant" position coaches, I can understand those guys playing out the season.
Gotta be end of year/completion of season bonuses involved...
I fully expect to hear how Matt Luke is just an amazing recruiter, and that he can influence these highly ranked out of state recruits to come play in Oxford. Same as the buck toothed pimp they just fired. Crazy coincidence right ?
To those who take the recruit flips to OM personally and think OM does this just to hurt us, I agree that they should never be disappointed If they see we get upset when a recruit flips.
However, if we actively recruit someone, why would it surprise us to see that other SEC schools e also looking to recruit that person. The first thing I like about a recruit is when I see that OM, AL, AUB, LSU, GA also want him. I always get happy when I read that a Bama recruit decides at the last moment to come to MSU. If we are realistic (I know, DS has no SPS rule #37 that we should be realistic) we must understand that every desirable recruit we ever had was subject to some flip efforts by other SEC schools.
All I can say is I hope all of our flip losses turn out to be huge disappointments to whatever school flipped them.
It is foolish to not understand recruits are 17-18 year old sail boats, who can be swayed by whatever wind might blow past their sails. They are foolish car purchasers, who can be swayed by any slick car salesman who "goes to get a new deal from his manager." They are new businessmen who are negotiating their first big sale of a good product that lots of people want to bid on.
Bla, Bla, Bla
