And back to the original subject.......... USM had a commit flip from Ole Miss to us over the weekend.

Meridian defensive end Deuntra Hyman (6-5, 230), an Ole Miss commitment since May 2017, flipped to the Golden Eagles after taking an official visit to Hattiesburg.

247sports.com lists Hyman as the No. 11 in-state prospect for the class of 2018. Rivals.com lists the Clarion-Ledger Dandy Dozen member as the No. 6 recruit in Mississippi.

Hyman was originally set to visit Ole Miss this week, but he cancelled on the Rebels following his pledge to the Golden Eagles, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

and to finish up the recruiting class:

The Golden Eagles have announced 16 signings already and four more players put on scholarship last year (Allen Fails, T-Rod Daniels, Bubba Fludd and Andrew Cole) must count toward this year’s group.

Freeport (Florida) defensive lineman Shannon Carswell, who committed to Southern Miss in August, indicated Sunday he might be rethinking things.

The Golden Eagles are expected to sign Carswell, Jefferson Davis County defensive back Malik Shorts, Iowa Western safety Ky’el Hemby and Woodlawn-Shreveport running back Trivenskey Mosley. Shaw (Georgia) long snapper T.J. Harvey signed with Southern Miss in December, but the school has not made a corresponding official announcement.

If Harvey is eventually announced and Hyman indeed signs, the Golden Eagles will have reached the 25-signee limit for 2018.
