Let him stay in-state. Pairing him up with Landon Collins for Bama in the future is sick.
Current top 4(in no order): Bama, State, OM, LSU
His recruitment seems similar to Richie Brown, in that it's been incredibly quiet and hard to read up until this point. He won't be deciding until the UA All-American game at the soonest, so there will be plenty of time for speculation between now and then.
Word is he keeps it silent for fear of pressure from Ole Miss people(boosters and alum). Seems they run the area. I do thik UA has a legit shot but I think MSU is the team to beat. I only think Ole Miss is mentioned because of SPHS.FWIW

Think a 4* Rivals..did't know much about him until conversation yesterday. New coaching staff has him interested so I was told....
If schools were smart, they would just avoid all South Panola kids.
Neither of the two legit prospects in this class are what you would call prototypical "South Panola kids"... both have excellent grades and seem to be very high-character guys.
That said, I would be absolutely shocked at this point if Conner doesn't end up at Ole Miss. We are hearing that it's OM/Alabama from the MSU angle. We are back in it a bit after the MS/Ala All-Star game, where he played with 9 MSU commits, 1 MSU lean(Shumpert), and only 1 OM commit(Derrick Jones who openly admits wanting to be at MSU but still has no offer). Obviously, that week was always going to help us. How much is yet to be seen...
Of course they have good grades... they go to South Panola. Bet they have high ACT scores too.
You haven't been following South Panola for very long, I see. Long, LONG list of nonqualifiers that were every bit as highly recruited as Tony Conner is. It was bad enough for years that many schools almost stopped recruiting there.
It's an injustice to even compare these two guys to some of the previous ones to come through there. Period. Both are intelligent, hard-working guys.
Friend in Batesville told me last night that Bama has cooled on Conner due to numbers and may not take his commit whether V. Bell commits to Bama or not. Said he at some point was contacted last week by Coach Thigpin. Says he had most of his eggs in Bama or MSU basket but is basically starting over.... Good news I think....just passing this along...
