That’s So Raven… Nutt Explains Forged Signature Flap

Appearing on Rivals Radio, Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt has given up a few more details regarding the bizarre signing day flap involving defensive back Floyd Raven.

As we reported last week, Raven sent in a signed letter of intent to the UM football offices last Wednesday.  Only he didn’t.  His mom did.  In fact, she apparently forged her son’s signature.

“The next thing you know, we get a call from Floyd,” Nutt said.  “He said, ‘Coach, it was my mom.’  I said, ‘Your mom is really smart.’  After a 20-minute conversation, I knew he wanted to go to (Texas) A&M.  I said go ahead and go to A&M, we’re gonna tear this one up.”

“The only thing that looked funny was the name was printed and then it was signed.  We actually said, ‘Went another one in.  It doesn’t look quite right.’  There was a little bit of hesitation there.  It was crazy.”

That’s so Raven.

Raven Out At Ole Miss After Mom Apparently Forges Letter Of Intent

Maybe this is why Houston Nutt likes to oversign.

Cornerback prospect Floyd Raven will not be playing football at Ole Miss… after his mother apparently forged his signature onto the national letter of intent.  Nutt said that Raven’s “mom really wanted him (at Ole Miss).  Mom wanted him here in the worst way.”

An Ole Miss spokesperson said the school could not read the first version of the LOI sent via fax to the school, so they requested another copy be sent.  Raven declined.  And the belief is that his mother had signed the original version.

A source at Ole Miss says that Raven plans to sign with Texas A&M. 

“I want them to want to be here,” Nutt said.  “There one thing I know about the other guys’ signatures that (our coaches) received is that they want to be here.  We’ll leave it at that.  Good luck to him.”
