In an abrupt departure from the usual oooh-he-switched-hats drama we're usually treated to on National Signing Day, there's a very different sort of circus brewing down in Louisiana, where Floyd Raven, a four-star cornerback from Reserve's East St. John High School, had his letter of intent forged by his mother, who reportedly wanted him to attend Ole Miss:
Putting a crimp in her plans was the fact that her son was set on attending Texas A&M, where he faxed his real LOI today. Raven had gone back and forth between the two programs, and even had a brief dalliance with Michigan, but has received Houston Nutt's blessing to head to the Aggies.
