[songofthesword]

so much for that great hire.

come on cotton, be a hog.

[Hawgvillain]

Also of note - Houston got a commit today from a four star RB that was previously committed to Auburn.

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

Ouch.  NO WAY Cotton commits to Aub after his dad made those comments.  But do we really need another QB with only 4 or 5 spots left??

I don't know... but I can think of a few people who do.  I trust the coaching staff to make the right decision. (It feels so good to say that)

The Rebs are pretty sure Cotton is coming their way as well.

The Right Reverend has 0 QB's committed.  I fear that he will be the ultimate beneficiary of the ineptness at Auburn.

That would suck.

[songofthesword]

the rebs aren't getting cotton. the reb's are confident they are getting everyone according to yancy. to them the only reason they don't have ruben randle is because they don't have room for him, or becuase he doesn't love the helmet enough


it's not humanlly possible to sit down with a in home with petrion and do the same with nutt and possibly come out thinking nutt is m ore organized, more professional and a better situtation.

cotton's dad seems like an intelligent guy.

Nutt has a history of having good fortune fall in his lap with little or no effort on his part.

I don't doubt that but there is probably more competition for QB here and Cotton's family is from central Mississippi.  I would say OM has to be his leader right now...

[songofthesword]

yes there is less compitition there, but considering nutt's track record with QB's I don't thnk it matters.

would you rather be the starter for 3 years and thrown under the bus, regress and not be given a real chance, or start for 2 years and be put in a positoin to be an NFL QB?

not a hard choice if you aren't scared of a little compitition or short sided.

the kid is talanted but needs work. he would not stand a chance in hell with nutt's offense.

there is a reason nutt has not recruited a QB worth a damn in over a decade (without hiring the kid's HS coach). his record with QB's superseeds him.

the only thing keeping them in the race is that they are from missisippi. once they meet iwth him and put all the facts togehter, I am confident he will not be a reb.

I dont' even care if he doesn't come to arkansas. I just don't want a 4 starq QB to fall in nutt's lap.

Of course we know Nutt's record with QB's but do the Cottons?  This kid is a dual threat type so Hootie will probably sell him on the Matt Jones years.  The interesting thing to me is that he sounds a lot more like this guy:

I could see him going to OM.  Looks like Nutt is amazingly lucking out once again.  First a 4 star RB and now maybe a 4 star qb because Auburn has screwed up.  Recruits and their families can be amazingly gullible.  Wait till Dale talks to the Cottons about the Wild Rebel and Matt Jones.  If he chooses OM I hope he ends up being screwed up like Robert Johnson or placed at WR like Cedric Washington.

arhhhh!! MAN DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT! it's taken me years to get over the dark ages

[want2be]

Our staff was the first to meet with him after the TT announcement and if he is not afraid of competition we would be great fit.

That being said I bet Reb LUCKS out on the Ms State-Auburn turmoil....I would much rather have a coach who is prudent than lucky and in time it will pay off.

[Big Daddy]

He's the Kramer of the SEC.

[songofthesword]

coaches tell them to go to nutt because they know he will not be able to bite them later on a revelant team.

no way Richt was goin to tell grant to go to florida or tennessee.

[TrojanHog]

Perhaps MSU becomes a player for Cotton now that they have Mullen. Family in MS and a system that Cotton would probably strive in.

[songofthesword]

that's about a 0% chance. they have a pretty good comitted QB already that's a friend of  cotton's.

Why would a kid go from AU to the Cougars.

[TomasPistola]

Why oh why does Nuttless always benefit from others misfortune. I'm almost convinced he sold his soul to Satan to be a mediocre coach.

[songofthesword]

this is why i hate nutt. he has made an art out of being avg.

he will get 2-3 4 stars and will say "see, when we went to the cotton bowl, our phones started blowing up, and recruits will be knocking down our door for next year"

this idiot will acdtually have fans ESTATIC about a 50th ranked recruiting class. how he does it, I don't know.

[Oklahawg]

Nutt may get one good year from this.

The players have told other schools they were going to Aubbie and may not have a chance at schools that run recruiting well. That's why OM has a shot at benefiting from this.

Give Chizik and his staff (and Mullen and his staff) a spring on the ground and they'll outmaneuver the Nutt Clan.

Secretly in the middle of all this is Larry Fedora at So Miss. He had the best recruiting class in the state last year. He might well be able to keep Nutt from prospering too much.

A very good "used car" salesman.

[cardinalandwhite]

Cotton should really take a good look at Mississippi State, he'd do well in that system.  That said, I think we're his best shot at success in the NFL simply because Petrino is an excellent QB coach who works an NFL type system.  As far as Nutt, think RoJo.  I love RoJo to death, the guy's attitude and class is second to none, but he got screwed by Nutt!

[hawgsav1]

I've watched Cotton in his tapes, and he seems kind of the polar opposite of Johnson.  He takes big strides, while RoJo would take smaller quick ones, and while Cotton is very accurate (while RoJo lacked in that department), he doesn't throw a tight ball (RoJo seemed to throw a tight spiral).  RoJo was definitely a better runner in my opinion, but Cotton seems like a better passer.  However, I think Cotton could definitely benefit from having a real QB coach.

I wasn't all that deep in my evaluation.  I was moreso commenting on the fact that they are both 4-star scrambling type QB's that are not run-first QB's...

[imhogwild2]

Let him go to Ole Miss and become the next Robert Johnson type. This time let him play 4 years though with undeveloped skills because of a coach that doesn't know how to develope a QB

No worries and I agree with you...I just like comparing players to others just for sh**s and giggles. 

[OTTER]

Will not happen.

[wholehog92]

Cotton Sr.  appears to be a guy that does his homework.  I doubt Cotton Jr. ends up at Ol Miss.

[redbarn]

It doesn't matter who plays at Ole Miss.  They still have Nutt for a coach and he can turn a five star into a two star in no time.

Yep, he will say it played out exactly how he planned.  Recruiting was slow b/c he was fighting a losing mentality, now it is picking up w the momentum from their "fantastic" year

Tonight Raymond Cotton is listening to HDN's salespitch - "THE WILD REBEL" I will have to monitor the Rebel Boards to catch reactions over the next 48 hours.

[opineonswine]

If Raymond Cotton's Sr. and Jr. are flim-flam proof, they'll see thru ole snake oil pretty quickly.

Sr.'s an Air Force officer, isn't he?  He'll see through the lunacy.
