[swg]

Holds offers by UC, Indiana, and Purdue.

Has interest from KY, Mich St, ND, and tOSU.

 

[swg]

Recently attended the AA combine. ND looks good early.

 

[daytonfan]

With his size could also be be look at as a OL.

 

[swg]

Recently attended junior day at Indiana.

 

[daytonfan]

His recruitment is going to be interesting to follow. With a Cincy offer already and other top programs showing interest would at least have to be a High 3* player.

 

[swg]

Will attend UC junior day.

 

[swg]

He prefers DE, possibly ending up at DT, but I'm guessing the only schools who offer that up front (Indiana) are being overly optimistic. At some point, he will likely end up on the OL regardless what school he is at. I hope he doesn't commit to a position.

[swg]

MSU has offered.

 

[swg]

Georgia Tech just offered.

 

[swg]

Recently visited KY and GT.

 

[swg]

Wants to play on D if possible. Doesn't sound too high on KY. I'd say UC might do well by stating he would get every shot to play on D, then switch to offense as a last resort.

 

[swg]

Offered by Wisconsin.

 

[swg]

Michigan offered.

Will visit Florida, then GT.

 

[swg]

Had a great visit to Florida, and is now high on them and OSU. Expects an offer from both sooner than later.

 

[swg]

...and OSU has offered.

 

[swg]

OSU, UM, MSU, Florida...

Don't see UC having much chance here.

 

[swg]

Visiting OSU today, for 2nd time.

I posetd this on another thread.... the same applies here as it is not looking good.

UC has no chance with this kid. Maybe we should start putting (NC) by these kids names because I see a ton of profiles being listed who will never come here. I'm still waiting to see a kid who is being quoted as saying he liked UC. I see a lot of kids talking up other programs. It baffles me that after two BE titles we can't get kids willing to come here. Meanwhile, UL who hasn't been over .500 for two years got a great recruiting class last year and has already five strong committments.
