For those who have followed recruiting closely throughout the years, could you list the de-commitments and the great things they went on to accomplish?

QB Alex Cate - Oklahoma State - has played the last few games of the season after their starter got hurt; pretty much stinks; glad we don't have him

CB Perrish Cox - Oklahoma State - good corner, better return man - would have been in direct competition with Jai Eugene and Chris Hawkins for last couple of years...might be starting right now.

OT Phil Loadholt - Oklahoma - not really a decommit, but he had a credit not transfer so he went to OU where the credit was accepted - started for two years, played in MNCG with Bradford & Co.

LB Can't remember - some African name - Penn State - never heard from him again

D.C. Jefferson - He was a QB, but got moved to TE. Not a big loss at all.

Darron Thomas - Backup QB for Oregon.

Henry Orelus - too early to tell.

Dexter Pratt got in trouble for marijuana possession. I believe he redshirted at Oklahoma State.

Janzen had a very good year on the field and a very bad year off the field.

Kenny Bell redshirted at Bama.

Rantavious Wooten had 10 receptions and 2 TDs at UGA, just like Rueben Randle.

Wooten was committed at one time?

Nobody offered Pat White a scholly to play QB until west Virginia offered him a chance to play QB. LSU offered him at WR just like all the other schools

Yeah, maybe for five weeks or so. Everyone was surprised because he was supposed to go to UGA. He decommitted from LSU after maybe 5 weeks, and a couple of weeks later he committed to UGA.

I guess every successful player who mentions LSU in an interview with Sonny once is now considered a commitment.
