Ole Miss got a commitment from JUCO DT Jarran Reed today. No idea if it will affect Hooks' decision, but he posted this on Twitter a few hours ago:

This decision is beginning to get much easier #comingsoon

Man we need this one!

Only because we were the only school who promised to give him a shot at RB. Auburn and the other SEC schools were offering him as a safety.

I'm hoping he is saying this decision is getting easier because Ole Miss took another DT and he didn't like that. Or it could have been in regards to the Auburn offer. Nobody knows at this point!

I find myself agreeing with both sides of a not very disagreeable disagreement.

 
Announcing Monday Dec 17th at 2pm central, and im hearing we arent on his final list. Visiting Auburn this weekend, but he is all Ole Miss at this point. Disappointing day today.

According to Mike Matya, Rivals writer, he texted Hooks asking if Nebraska was eliminated. Lavon responded quickly with "no." The in home with Bo is still most definitely happening, and it seems like nobody has any idea where he's headed.

Thats good, he did refuse to name a leader on the ole miss article. I would still be shocked if he chose us, he was glowing about playing with all of these high calibur recruits ole miss has been getting including Carl Lawson, and Robert Nkemdfajafagaoigaski, if they end up getting them

Lets hope he sees the golden opportunity he has to be THE star here.

From what I've heard lately, Arizona State might be his leader. Which would just be a trainwreck for us.

 
Hooks and Russell are the most important recruits in this class. I realize that Hooks is a very tough get, but make no mistakes, they are vastly important in this cycle.

 
If thats true and we land both Russel and Hooks, our defense has the potential to be absolutely sick next year. Russell, and Hooks in the middle, it looks like we are bringing in two Eric Martin type juco DE's. At minimum we will have Anderson, and Santos at LB (unless a RSF beats one of them out which is a good problem to have) Two lock down CB's. Jonathon Rose, and Mitchell. Along with Evans coming back to play nickel/peso. Then Harvey Jackson at safety, and I believe Baptise will be move to safety or we could see Cooper maybe even Priest Willis at the other safety position. This defense looks like it has the potential to be a vintage Black shirt defense. Add that with our offense which will be even better next year especially if we land Sanderland. Fix our punt returning problem which I think is very solvable, and I think we might be looking at a NC caliber team here!!

Nate Clouse thinks we still have a pretty good shot at landing Hooks.

Funny the vast difference you get from board to board sometimes. 247 thinks we are completely out of it, based solely on one article from an Ole Miss site where the writer fails to mention us in the running. Hooks does gush over Ole Miss however.

Baptise is at times our second best corner. I don't think he's moving.

I think we get one of the two in Russel and Hooks. And between the two I like the chances of Russel better. I thought Hooks was pretty certain earlier but as time has gone on he seems a little fickle. More like the type of person who gets excited about the newest toy. Teams coming in late seem to rate higher up that teams that really impressed him early.

As an FYI, there has been some talk about moving Brown up to RE in certain situations similar to Eric Martin.

I see this too. Will be interesting to read his thoughts on Auburn after this weekend, he may well get caught up in the moment being its his last visit before he decides just a day later on Monday.
