He decided not to sign a LOI at this time. He is considering a few other visits (Florida?) and then will decide. We are still on his list, but I'm not holding my breath.

I am.
I love me some 'angry at the world' Pahokee kids.

From what I'm hearing, Florida has come on strong with him, and could be the ones to beat right now.

2009 JC DE Pernell McPhee enjoyed his official visit. So much, that he has now proclaimed he favors UM over Miss State. Oddly for a kid from Florida (via Mississippi), he likes the cold and snow, and he also enjoyed himself at the hoops game. He’s still nominally committed to Mississippi State, so he remains off the board for now, but UM might be right in this one. The JC signing period started yesterday, and he has not signed an LOI anywhere.

I don't read Varsity Blue, so I don't know how credible they are. Just don't be surprised if Florida comes up in the next discussion.

BTW Tom you said a couple weeks back that something big is about to happen. Did it happen yet?
December 19th, 2008 at 3:15 PM ^
That was a joke. Not the kind made for the internet though.
Kind of like how I can't tell right now if you're sincerely asking or not.

Yea I was curious since that whole post just got wayyyy too confusing so I thought I'd ask for good measure. BTW I think VB is legit and I have seen Brian use some of their stuff.

Varsity Blue is very credible. One of their guys posts on here actually. TomVB i believe is his sign in name actually, lol.

Maybe I'll take a look at it then. I still say it's between Florida and Miss. State, and he ends up at Miss. State.

I think there is a pretty small chance that McPhee comes to Michigan. He seems somewhat wishy washy, and with Florida and Georgia more recently on his mind, I think he'll commit to one of those places. The longer he drags it out, though, the better chance I think we'll have.
It would be nice to get a college-seasoned DE in here, though. We don't have many DE's, and he might be an upgrade from true freshmen like Lalota, Roh, and DeQuinta Jones.

Not sure about Pernell, but Catherine McPhee has signed her LOI to play nose tackle and will enroll in January.

If I'm guessing this is going to come down to Florida and Mississipi State, and he chooses Mississippi State.
