Flip Watch
D.D. Bowie
WR/CB : 6’1 : 170 : 4 Star : Morton, MS
Committed to Ole Miss: 10/24/15
Visited Ole Miss: 1/27/17, Visited Mississippi State: 1/20/17
Insight: Bowie signed with Ole Miss back in 2015 during Ole Miss’ Sugar Bowl run. However, in the past few week Bowie has become weary of the NCAA investigation that is currently looming over the Rebels. He has stated that his decision will be made based on which school will give him more national attention in hopes of making it to the NFL. If he attends Ole Miss he will play Corner Back; however, if he signs with Mississippi State he will play WR.
Crystal Ball Prediction: 50% Mississippi State, 38% Ole Miss
My Prediction: Mississippi State

Larrell Murchison
SDE : 6’4 : 277 : 3 Star : Elizabethtown, NC
Committed to Ole Miss: 1/5/17
Visited Ole Miss: 1/27/17 , Visited Georgia: 1/20/17
Insight: Larrell, who committed with the Rebels in early 2017, is now torn between two schools in Ole Miss and Georgia. He says that Georgia has the better recruiting class and is closer to his home in North Carolina, but that Ole Miss has the better opportunity for him as a defensive lineman. His parents also both went to Ole Miss which could play a factor in his decision.
Crystal Ball Prediction: 100% Georgia
My Prediction: Ole Miss
Jaylon Redd
Athlete : 5’9 : 180 : 4 Star : Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Committed to Oregon: 9/26/16
Visited Ole Miss: 1/27/17
Insight: Jaylon Redd is an athlete from California who has a strong connection with new Ole Miss WR coach Jacob Peeler. Peeler recruited Redd when he was at Cal. Redd says that he likes the family oriented feel at Ole Miss after he visited this past weekend. Ole Miss would like to play Redd at WR while Oregon and Arizona want him to play on defense.
