'15 TN WR Van Jefferson

So is this "visit" to TN legit or not? Sounds like two sites are reporting two totally different things and I noticed PF over at VQ just said he doesn't think TN is a factor with Van.

I can't even figure out if he is an EE or not. My guess, signs with UGA.
 
If PW was interested in GA. Van was going to give us the look. Since he doesn't seem to be Van will most definitely stay at GA. JMO

I've heard that Jefferson is warming up to the idea of flipping to Ole Miss. Is this true?

very true and is also planning to visit them but his dad is not down with anything to the liking of the state of Mississippi. And I quote you this as I was right there, Coach Freeze why would I allow my son to go to a school in which there was a protest about President Obama being re-elected and they called all groups of people not Caucasian racial terms.

Well, I mean the NFL does eat a coach's life. So perhaps that is why she has more bearing on his decision. I'm not going to tell any parent how to raise their kids, if she decides UGA is better for him and he doesn't have a major problem with it then good for him and his family. I do think she should see what UT has to offer to her son before she makes a decision but in any case I think Van will be fine.

I hate UGA but for the most part I think they are a pretty decent program when their players aren't being arrested.:)

very much the case. his dad is/has always been busy as a player and coach so mom has been the one. I will say this though, Mrs. Marla has a very high football IQ. I don't agree with her on the way she's going about things but its her son who'll suffer in the long run if she doesn't open up to allow him to have his own opinion and decision because he's definitely not feeling UGA.

Mr Jefferson is an Obama fan?

I can't blame him there. No offense, but I've always wondered why a young black kid would ever want to go to Ole Miss of all places. Their team nickname is based off the confederate army. Their logo used to be an old plantation owner. As recently as 10 years ago, their fans used to wave confederate flags around campus on game day. To top it off, their most famous chant is "The south will rise again".

Meachem was our most productive receiver that year...?

Meachem as a freshman:
13 gms, 25 catches, 459 yds, 4 tds

Malone as a freshman thus far:
12 gms, 22 catches, 227 yds, 1 td


Meachem 2 years later as a RS junior.....

13 gms, 71 catches, 1,298 yds, 11 tds

I think that's his point.

He's definitely an EE, trust me. He has a class every Saturday to mk sure there was no issues about that. A lot of it is just Van and the talk for the moment type of thing.

And Meach never had an OL or qb situation this bad either. Also had a better OC.

Say what you want, but these days the state of Mississippi has some of the best race relations in the South, if not the country IMO. I'm in MS often for work and the interactions between blacks and whites there is a sight to behold, especially from where things were 50 yrs ago. I hear the n-word and see a genuine lack of respect for other races far more in TN and KY, where I spend most of my time.

Thanks for confirming the EE. Sounds like there will deff be a resolution one way or another soon.

I know from the I-20 corridor south, African Americans are the majority. 60-40 if I am not mistaken. Most everyone gets along but there are still segments that don't like white people. Other than that everyone gets along. Devout Christians who all love sports and everyone hunts and fishes. Can't speak to northern MS.

Malone will get it in time. He knows how good he can be and I trust him to become better. He is a freshman so let's not write him off yet
