Well, that opens a door for us, but last I read was that he might be favoring fsu.

[SR4-AJ1]

yes, please

I know Bryant wants to be "the" RB....So, if, and I hope it is true, Williams is a silent, no chance our staff would toy with Bryant. The staff believes they would lose both of them if they recruit them both...the old bird in the hand saying is applicable.....imo, the staff made the right decision considering what DW brings to the table.

DB Jeremy Tyler of Lithonia, GA has Clemson, West Virginia and Arkansas as his favorites and would like to take official visits to each school. One school he is certain of visiting is West Virginia. "They offered me last week and they're coming to see me Thursday," said Tyler. "I'm going to take an official visit there in January." He says Clemson has kept in touch with him via facebook and have asked him to visit again. "I went there for the Furman game and I want to go back," he said. "I would like to take an official visit but we'll see. I really like the campus and the environment there." Another school he would like to visit is Texas A&M. He believes he has 27 offers though he is unsure of how many are official. "Once the bowl games are played, I think I'll hear from more teams," he added. This season he totaled 78 tackles, 12 for loss, two interceptions, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two rushing touchdowns. He does not have a favorite.

Myrtle Beach DB Chocolate Wilson suffered a knee injury on the first day of practice last summer and only played in the last two games of the season. He really didn't have to show recruiters much this season after a strong junior year in which he had 6 interceptions returning 4 for touchdowns. His problem now is a couple of the schools that have offered fired their staffs, so he's waiting to hear from the new coaches at NC State and Purdue. "He's trying to figure everything out," said Myrtle Beach coach Mickey Wilson. Missouri and Ole Miss also have offered Wilson. Marshall is scheduled to visit him next week.

Interesting... It's worth noting that Matt retweeted this article. (btw, its a free article)

http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com...sp?CID=1445291

"EXAMPLE NO. 3: Ashburn (Va.) Briar Woods linebacker Matt Rolin was a kid I crossed off my "follow" list when he committed to South Carolina.

At the beginning of the process, I thought he might head to Virginia Tech, where his brother plays, but once he set his sights on the Gamecocks it was all over. After all, pretty much all of his family aside from his brother graduated from South Carolina and he was tweeting like he was already a member of the team.

So when he took a quiet official visit to Florida this past weekend, at first I didn't think much of it. Just a recruit having some fun, right? Rolin has since told me he is torn between South Carolina and Florida, it's "50-50" between the two and he will decide at the end of the week.

Why the delay? Rolin is having ACL surgery, which is being performed by the South Carolina team surgeon, this week. Huh? That's right, after they repair his knee he could flip to a hated rival. I'm not buying it. I think he sticks with the Gamecocks despite the temptation provided by Florida."

[Mick Chicken]

Dude's getting weird

[donbgamecock]

I hope the best for Matt regardless of where he ends up. Of course I would like it to be the gamecocks, but who can hold anything against this kid and his final decision? Well, at least I hope it is not gamecock fans.

[SR4-AJ1]

Hope he decides to stick with us but if not I wish him the best until he plays against us!!

[ShutTheSuccop]

I don't know...it does not sound good IMO. Either way, I wish him the best

Had a good in home visit with Grady and Lawing recently. Said it opened his eyes to how the academics were at USC. Still a lean to FSU here though.

Not sure what you mean...my above post was in reference to this post:

It sounded like USC's team surgeon was doing his surgery on USC's dime....

Has FSU named a DC yet? I'm sure that has to play some sort of role.

WHAMMY!

[DTGCOCKS#32]

I think we have a good shot if we get him on an official. But if he commits during the all american game then, its possible the visit never happens.

You would think that it would, but it hasnt phased KB at all.

[Sir Cuss]

What is the status of that DC position at FSU?

LOADED & The kids they recruit don't care....on paper, they are the National Champions....play like an ACC school despite top tier SEC caliber talent. Hard to figure out ...(iron sharpens iron I guess).
