Change of heart for Bailey

After committing to Mississippi State early in the recruiting process, Korentheus Bailey and his family had a long discussion over the weekend and decided to look at other options. All it took was an in-home visit this week from Coach Sylvester Croom and Coach Shane Beamer, however, to help send things in the other direction. After further thought, he has decided he will indeed be a Bulldog next fall.

"We have decided that we are going to Mississippi State," commented Kevin Bailey, Korentheus' dad. "Coach Croom and Coach Beamer came in on Tuesday and talked to me and my wife and eased some of the questions my wife had.

"We decided after the meeting that we would go to Mississippi State."

While they didn't set up an official visit, they said it would most likely be in January, on their big weekend, the weekend of January 19.

Bailey ended the season with 120 tackles (79 solos) and 41 assists. He also had 15 sacks. He has also dropped 20 pounds and measures in at 6-foot-3 and 248 pounds.
