re: Womack flips to Alabama

That is simply not true, he has not been a commit for 2 months to Alabama.

He camped at Alabama and was very impressive, he pushed the coaches for an offer then. Alabama told him they wanted to see him play a few games before offering.

He scheduled a visit to Alabama for the USM game on Sept. 13 expecting an offer, and received a verbal offer but was slow played.

Alabama was confident of getting a commit from the kid anytime since summer camp, and wanted him in the class when he visited on Sept. 13th, the hold up to Alabama taking a commit at that point was the fear of Ole Miss doing whatever they near the end with Mississippi kids and him flopping to Ole Miss, leaving us scrambling for a replacement, or falling short on OT's.

Ole Miss has beat us at the end for quite a few kids the last few years who had told the staff they were Alabama bound or committed, and Saban wasn't going to let it happen again.
