Re: Sir mells moved on?
He's already signed an LOI, so I wonder if he was told he has to gray shirt...

Re: Sir mells moved on?
Definitely seems like he got pushed out.
For months, all signs have pointed to it being questionable whether Mells was an Oregon-level recruit. When the staff moved on, his lone new offer was New Mexico, I believe.

Re: Sir mells moved on?
But I thought he signed an LOI? What happens in this scenario? (Or are we at a new time where that doesn’t mean anything?)

Re: Sir mells moved on?
I have been imagining Lanning rolling into town, taking a look at the list of signees, and seeing Mells down there at the bottom and thinking, "who signed THAT guy?" So in that sense, I get it, but I would really hate to think he got processed AFTER signing a LOI (and possibly enrolling?). Hopefully that isn't how this is actually going down. I get that this probably happens in the SEC all the time, but I am not fond of the idea of Oregon adopting such practices.

He is in Spaces, and posting on Twitter that everything is fine.

Re: Sir mells moved on?
I'd say things are fine since his mom posted this on Twitter.
Plus, he posted this:

Re: Sir mells moved on?
I’d guess they offered to let him out of his NLI to free up a schollie and he got petulant as teens do, but he’s signed an NLI so we have to take him. I don’t think he’s an awful prospect, but if spots are tight maybe Lanning decided to give him a push.
