Rumor Central: now the word is that Sam Montgomery's situation is NOT done yet. If you saw him on ESPNU this morning, he said he was waiting on Trent Richardson and they wanted to go to school together.

So the deal is LSU might still lose Montgomery to North Carolina. Or they might keep Montgomery and add Richardson. Like it or not, this circus will continue until Richardson makes his announcement sometime after 3:00.

But it does sound like Richardson is either going to Alabama or LSU. Florida sounds like they're out. Once again Urban Meyer craps out trying to land a legitimate workhorse running back.

The rumor is also that Lance Thompson, who could not get Richardson interested in Tennessee, has been trying to push Richardson to LSU. I can believe that - the Tennessee folks sure don't want to be in the division with him, and the Thompson/Nick Saban feud is an awfully ugly one.

Tennesee also plays Bama every year, even though they aren't in the same division

Well that would be pretty messed up if he went to UNC. I say let it play out.

interesting. I've never heard of one SEC team convincing a player to choose another SEC team.

Mckay tends to run with ALOT of rumors to drub up membership to his damn strong club. If Sam really was dependent on TR he would have pushed his PC back

Montgomery is taking this long because he announced at a tv studio in charlotte. Now he has to drive to S.C. and fax the letter from the his school which is required.

With SM announcing LSU earlier, I sure like our chances better with TR now. You have to think the odds are better that scenario turns out rather than losing SM completely.

Nothing would surprise me anymore.

Montgomery should have post-poned his announcement.

This makes no sense. How does TR going to Bama and SM going to Carolina get them at the same school? Why wouldn't Montgomery stick with LSU?

Yes Montgomery clearly said he was waiting on his friend TR....It was like they pressured him on ESPNU TO PICK A SCHOOL BUT HE SAID He wanted to wait and then he put on the LSU HAT....Go ahead Montgomery and fax to BR........

A kid should not pick a school depending on a freindship..

I have always thought that Sam liked LSU the most all along

The scoop is, Sam is driving back home to fax his papers...he has a 2 hour drive or so

Relax

Rarely happens and would make the kid look really bad ...

Montgomery will be a Tiger.
