If Ole Miss lands Lavon Hooks in addition to expected adds of Nkemdiche and Jarran Reed, wow, that'll be a different 2013 defense

But that didn't happen.
Hooks shot down a rumor that he had committed to Washington.
Lavon Hooks: "No I did NOT make that statement" when asked whether the rumor of him committed to Ole Miss is true or not. #Washington

Hooks then said he did plan to commit that evening.
Juco DT Lavon Hooks says he does plan to make decision announcement tonight. #HottyToddy#OleMiss

But then he wasn't so sure.
NECC four star DL Lavon Hooks has not announced his decision and he says he is "not sure" he will do it tonight.#UW#OleMiss#HailState

Now hearing juco DT Lavon Hooks will take more time with his decision. He's told coaches of involved schools it may not come until tomorrow.

So the decision was pushed to Wednesday.
11am I will announce
— Lavon Hooks (@CaptinHooks203) December 19, 2012
11 central
— Lavon Hooks (@CaptinHooks203) December 19, 2012
Last postpone still have the decision 1 o'clock I will announce
— Lavon Hooks (@CaptinHooks203) December 19, 2012
But 1 p.m. Central came and went, and Hooks still had not committed. The decision is being further delayed.
NECC DT Lavon Hooks text me the answer No to the question of any timetable on choice. #JUCO holding pattern
