Barton just tweeted that Torshiro Davis surprisingly signed with Texas. Texas offered Santos when they thought the ship had sailed...

A shame TX isn't subject to the SEC 25-signee rule. They've got 27 commits.

Speaking of 27 signees -- Bama was at 28 after Kirven signed with them and is now down to 27. Anyone know why or if the guy who fell off the wagon might be an LB?

Saban reportedly informed Darious Philon TODAY that he would have to grayshirt. Philon was committed to Auburn until September when Saban convinced him to flip to UA. total douche move on the part of Saban. Hopefully more recruits (like Santos, who will likely be left high and dry in the wake of Torshiro Davis' flip to Texas) will pay more attention to this sort of passive negative recruiting tactic.

I know that was one kid that was asked to grey shirt that decided to sign with Kentucky. Can't remember the kids name tho. Tee Martin was the guy that swooped the kid up.

Wonder if Santos is regreting his decision yet with Texas having signed yet another higher rated and much more respected LB, even if he is a OLB. I know its close to home, but time to break of the tit. I mean he more than likely wont see much time at LB till at least his JR. year, where as he may have been the guy with us. Guess true SEC compition wasn't for him. But hey our "O" is looking mighty scarey this year with our WR depth. Whoever is slinging the ball this year has to be excited.
