Martin Emerson was in no rush to finalize his college choice last month, so after a visit with the Miami Hurricanes he opted not to finalize anything with the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the early signing period.
Emerson wasn’t going to early enroll anywhere, so he figured he might as well take his time. Mississippi State would be there in February, but waiting to sign would give him more time to consider other suitors like Miami and the Oregon Ducks.
At the end of the month, things changed with the Hurricanes. Former coach Mark Richt retired and Miami replaced him with Manny Diaz.
