00:00 Speaking of recruiting, Nareel White did the first step
00:04 in the thing that we have all talked about Nareel White doing.
00:08 Nareel White has been wanted by Ole Miss from the very beginning.
00:11 I think Nareel White wants to go to Ole Miss, honestly.
00:16 He was up here at the Elite 11, got the invite out to California.
00:19 He threw with DeMond Williams, and really good player.
00:25 If you look at the other -- I forget what they call it --
00:28 the other 23 as opposed to the Elite 11,
00:32 it basically is just a way that they expand their camp
00:37 to include other positions besides quarterbacks.
00:40 But Nareel White really showed out
00:42 and got an invite out to California,
00:43 I do believe, as well.
00:45 Good, good football player.
00:47 Now, if you look at what happened,
00:49 he put out a tweet yesterday that said,
00:52 "First of all, I'd like to thank Coach Pittman and Coach Woodson."
00:56 I believe that's Marcus Woodson,
00:57 the former Ole Miss player, as well.
01:00 "And the Ole Miss staff for believing in my abilities
01:02 and trusting in me since day one,
01:06 and the Fayetteville fan base and community was great.
01:10 After much consideration and talks with my loved ones,
01:14 it is in my best interest to decommit
01:16 from the University of Arkansas and reopen my recruitment.
01:19 Arkansas will still be one of my top choices.
01:22 Respect my decision."
01:24 Now, if you look at the profile for Nareel White,
01:27 he's showing up already as decommitted.
01:31 He is a 6-foot, 180, 190-pound wide receiver,
01:35 a true slot-type wide receiver from St.
01:37 Martin High School in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
01:42 He is a nearly consensus four-star.
01:44 I don't know what's going on with the own three,
01:47 but it's bringing his ranking down, as well.
01:50 I don't think -- There's certain recruiting services,
01:53 depending who owns, who runs these recruiting services,
01:57 they value different things.
01:59 And I always say on this thing,
02:00 there's no such thing as a good football player.
02:02 There's a certain drop-back passer
02:05 or dual-threat quarterback.
02:07 Those categories are more important than just quarterback
02:10 because there's a situation
02:12 where you could be judging apples against oranges.
02:16 So maybe on three is very big on outside wide receivers,
02:19 and they just group everybody
02:21 into that outside wide receiver framework.
02:25 And Nareel White's a slot receiver.
02:27 He's a really, really good slot receiver.
02:29 He's a Elijah Moore-type slot receiver.
02:33 He's a guy that Lane Kiffin can do all kinds of work with
02:37 if he gets on campus.
02:39 But he is not that 6-foot-3, 220-pound wide receiver
02:43 that is going to shoot up the charts,
02:45 depending on if on three is using that.
02:50 247 has him ranked in the top 247 ESPN and rivals,
02:56 has him at four-star as well.
02:57 So we'll see exactly what happens,
02:59 and if he goes up the rankings anymore.
