Utah vs. Boise in Las Vegas Bowl

FYI
Here's a portion of an Sltrib article with a recruiting update:

The Utah Utes might have found their replacement for senior Shaky Smithson, a player who earned a reputation as being one of the most dangerous kick returners in the country in 2010.

The Utes picked up a commitment from Philander Moore, a 5-foot-9, 185-pound receiver at Blinn Community College in Brenham, Texas.

Moore was named a first-team junior college All-American after finishing the season with 811 total yards on kick and punt returns with six touchdowns. He had 182 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Moore, who has three years to play three, said he picked Utah over Ole Miss, Texas Tech and Boise State after a visit in which he enjoyed meeting his future teammates.

“The coaches there and the team there are really bonded together,” he said. “It’s a great place to be.”

Don't know what the kid's ranking is but it is nice to see Utah beat out an SEC school, a Big12 school, and the school that just took them behind the woodshed.

Seriously, his name is Philander?

My great-great-grandfather was named Philander. I was very happy my dad didn't name me after him. :-)

I don't know if anyone is familiar with the musical, Polly, written by Steven Kapp Perry, but it's about that Philander and his wife, Polly. Obviously, from the title, it's mainly about Polly. In the musical, Polly has a line (when they are dating), which goes, "Philander, I ask in all candor, should a girl take a chance on a man named Philander?"

Didn't want to start a new thread so it looks like that Moore kid keeps flip flopping between U and Ol Miss currently looks like Ol Miss. But guess on the local kids Harvey Langi committed to the U.

Whitt pulled Philander's offer. He didn't flip flop. He was set on coming to the U, but Whitt pulled his offer when he visited Ole Miss.

Do you not see the contradiction there?

Not at all. Care to point it out?

Some kid accepts a free vacation and it means there is a contradiction?

Read his twitter. He was already committed to the U. Ole Miss brought him out there, and he told them the whole time he was going to the U either way. He only agreed to go to Ole Miss because it was a free trip, and Ole Miss understood that. He had been tweeting about it before, during, and after the trip.

Whitt made an example out of him. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well, I haven't followed the situation enough to be very knowledgeable, but somehow I doubt Ole Miss foots the bill for free trips for kids that they feel have absolutely no chance of coming.
