National Signing Day: Cornerback Floyd Raven Commits to... wait.... what?

* Floyd Raven committed to the LSU Tigers last summer before being told that he had no LSU offer (that probably hurts).
* He committed to the Ole Miss Rebels on December 12th, 2010. The Rebs were, obviously, his backup plan.
* On January 15th, he decommitted from the Rebels. Twelve days later, and shortly after an official visit to Texas A&M, he committed to the Rebels again after having committed to the Aggies for roughly thirty minutes.
* Today, the Ole Miss coaches received a letter of intent (LOI) with signatures from both Raven and his mother, just as they and everyone else expected. Per sources, the fax was apparently not very legible, so they asked the Raven family to send it again. They never did.
* The Ravens sent a signed letter of intent to Texas A&M instead.
* Floyd Raven informed the Ole Miss coaches that his mother had forged - literally forged - his signature on the LOI they had received and that he was, in fact, going to be an Aggie. This is, by far, the greatest and most confounding part of this whole story. So he signs an LOI to play for Ole Miss, only to contact the coaches and say that the LOI was a fake, and that he didn't really mean it.
* Ole Miss announced that they were "voiding" the supposedly fake LOI - I guess to make it official - and no longer pursuing Raven.
* As of this being published, though, A&M still hasn't released that his letter of intent was received. He is listed by recruiting services as having committed to Texas A&M, but not as having signed his LOI. There is, apparently, some question about whether the A&M staff will accept Raven's LOI at this time.

I was shocked the number of kids picking auburn today. With all the drama over newton and auburn being a dirty program, if I were a parent I'd want my kid to stay away. But I'm not a parent or the kid so I have no clue what went into their decisions

With most banks there's a 24 hour waiting period for large checks to clear before you can access the full amount of money. Kouandjio will probably send in his LOI as soon as the waiting period is over. Smart kid. Only kidding...kind of.

So, with the loss of Walker any chance we can get in on this kid?

I think what's really going on here is that Cyrus realized Ohio State now has an opening on it's line. He's probably been on the phone all evening with Tress working out the specifics.

... I can dream, can't I?!
