i don't think its the same situation at all. rojo was an attention whore, essentially. perry strikes me as a very grounded individual.
now, i really think that perry wants to stay close to home. that would put it between state and um. i was really curious as to what perry's reaction would be after his um visit, more than usc. i'm sure he loved usc and would love to play there, but usc is in california, and that could have been the deal-breaker.
so, perry has his um visit. next thing you know, MD is rescheduling his mark ingram in-home and meeting with the perrys. so, maybe that means something good, or maybe that means MD is making a last stich desperation effort for perry. who knows?
but, reading between the lines, the amount of secrecy, the timeline, not a whole lot going on with commitments at that position (DE or LB), etc, etc....its easy to imagine that it is a possibility.
the other name i'll throw out there is hamani stevens.
and FTR, i'm not one of those guys who freaks out when guys go elsewhere. its football, and one guy does not make or break a class. i never felt that rojo or barksdale would commit to state. i feel differently about perry. tme will tell, and i could be wrong. but at the same time, i would not be shocked if there was a big surprise regarding perry.
