Just when you thought you had heard everything on signing day comes the news that the mother of recruit Floyd Raven signed his name on his letter of intent.

Raven, a defensive back from Reserve (East St. John, La.), was deciding between Mississippi and Texas A&M. Raven picked the Aggies. But it seems his mom wanted him to play for the Rebels and sent a letter there after signing for her son.

According to Kyle Veazey of the Clarion Ledger, Ole Miss received a letter that wasn't readable and asked Raven, considered the No. 151 overall prospect by rivals.com, to resend. He never did.

Rebels coach Houston Nutt clarified what happened.

"His mom. Mom really wanted him here, David," Nutt said to Associated Press reporter David Brandt. "Mom wanted him here in the worst way. And so, (Mississippi compliance director) David (Wells is) our expert on that, so the bottom line is when they told us that we said 'Hey, look, I want you to be here because you really want to be here.' And he was so torn. It's really hard, it's a hard hard decision, but when mom told me that, "Hey, look, I want you to do what's in your heart. And I think at the time he wanted to go elsewhere and look, I want them to want to be here."

Raven confirmed the story in a series of text messages with Veazey.

"Yeah she did I had no clue because I wasn't home, but I figured she thought she was doing the right thing she didn't kno she couldn't sign dat stuff and how serious it was, n she say she signed one day and another day, but she didn't know I wanted to go to Texas a&m but it's cleared and I'm good and I will not go further about the whole situation unless I have to."

Eventually Raven ended up where he wanted as his name appeared Wednesday night on the list of Texas A&M recruits that had signed a letter of intent.
