11:30 a.m. CT - The only Mississippi State verbal commitment that remains hanging out there is wide receiver Rodarius Thomas. He's a former South Carolina commit that flipped his verbal pledge to MSU not long ago. We'll of course provide updates on Thomas (or anything else) right here when it happens.
10:37 a.m. CT - And there's another tough, tough recruiting loss for Mississippi State. Sports Illustrated All-American candidate, defensive back M.J. Daniels, has flipped to Ole Miss. Only a week ago, Daniels said his recruitment was shut down and he was all Bulldog, but as MSU is finding out today, recruitment are never shut down until there is a signature.
JUST NOW: George County all-American MJ Daniels just grabbed the Ole Miss helmet. He’s headed to Oxford.
