Thomas,

Thoughts on Ole Miss sudden rise? Kind smells a lot like Auburn's rise 3-4 years ago. I know its a nice school and all, but multiple 5 stars committed to Oxford raises an eyebrow just as much as a Louisiana kid committing to play at Auburn. Could there be something fishy brewing?

Here's my take on Tunsil from talking to him several times over the last few months. Keep in mind, I don't know how either coaching staff feels about where they stand for him, this is strictly my impression from talking to him.

He does like to keep it close to the vest, so it's very hard to glean anything. Every week, it's pulling teeth to try to get some reaction out of him. Very, very nice kid who just doesn't play the recruiting games other kids do. In a lot of ways, that's both refreshing and frustrating, for reporters and fans alike, I'm sure.

Up until today, I've always felt that he liked Alabama a little better. I've seen several places that Georgia was leading, but I just never really got that vibe at all from him. Not to say he was blown away with Alabama or super wowed by Nick Saban, I just got the subtle feeling if it ended that day, he'd be going to Alabama.

That said, today seemed a little different. He seemed a little looser talking about Georgia and just made it seem like he had more fun on this trip than any of the other ones, which have pretty much been all business as far as I could tell.

I have zero idea which way he's leaning at this point. But after today, I can see why some people think Georgia's leading. Many of you have said it already -- if he wants to have a little more fun in college, he probably picks Georgia. If he wants to have a better shot at winning titles and a great, proven path to the NFL, he probably picks Alabama.

I can't for the life of me tell you which one he's more likely to do. If I had to pick today, I'd put Georgia's chances ever-so-slightly higher than Alabama's, but that's the first time I'd have said that in the last three to four months.

That is fine other than your "GREAT PROVEN PATH TO THE NFL" comment. Nothing wrong with the path to the NFL via UGA. Check out the rosters for the 2 teams in the SuperBowl and do a head count. Do the same thing with the Pro Bowl. UGA is right there with Alabama in that department. The championships - yes that would be a point but not the NFL route., That is bogus.
