- An
update on 2010 signee Shon Coleman, per his CaringBridge.org site:
"We are out of Phase 2, and now into Phase 3. The worst of the
chemo is now over and Shon came through like a pro. Minimal side
effects, no hair loss and he only dropped a small amount of weight. The
power of prayer is amazing. Everyone's prayers have brought us this
far, and I KNOW he will make it through the remaining treatments without
issue." We continue to wish Shon the best for a full recovery.

a quick recruiting tidbit, MSU commit Jermaine Whitehead says it's not
likely that he'll switch over to AU. "MSU is a great place. Auburn is
a place I like, but I think Mississippi State is a better fit for me. I'd
put it at 99.9 percent that I sign with State," said Whitehead.
