Solomon originally committed to the Wolverines several months ago, but backed ...

Will It Be Fsu Or Lsu For 5-star Dt Marvin Wilson

... Day eve. What makes them such elite recruits and where does SB Nation Recruiting guru Bud Elliott see them both, one of whom, Marvin Wilson, is a Florida State target, landing on Wednesday. LSU folks are feeling good about Wilson since the Tigers were tied at the top with FSU, yet Wilson still had his LSU visit remaining, and had already taken his trip to Tallahassee. But, Florida State’s recruits have been the most vocal recruiters and have the Seminoles squarely in the mix. Neither the Tigers nor the Seminoles would surprise me here. I definitely think FSU has a greater shot than many. Even with this year’s NSD so close, it’s always time to plan for the future as well. As such, Florida State offered 2019 offensive lineman Grant Carroll from Minneapolis (Min) Edina on Monday. Grateful to receive an offer from Florida State! #Go Noles Thank you, @Tim Brewster __link__/x 2 s TEy T 0 To.

Top Uncommitted Recruit Marvin Wilson Is Just Getting Started

... with his brother, who's 10 years older. Jonathan was one of the first people to coach Wilson on the field. When Wilson was a child, he would tag along with Jonathan to the local Boys & Girls Club, where Jonathan coached youth sports. Wilson's love for athletics blossomed there, and the two bonded over sports. They would watch high school All-America games together, seeing players commit to colleges and dreaming of the time that Wilson's moment would come. Now Jonathan serves as Wilson's sounding board and vice versa. They've spent countless hours in the living room of their two-bedroom apartment deliberating Wilson's hectic recruitment. "It's been amazing having him by my side," Wilson said. "He's my No. 1 supporter. He sees what I go through on a daily basis. He sees certain things I have to deal with. He sees all the behind-the-scenes stuff that happens that a lot of people don't see.". Another thing people don't see: the endless effort Wilson puts into his craft. Gifted with great size, his work ethic vaulted him ...

... play for a more heralded program? Yes, he did: Tufele announced on Wednesday that he will sign with USC. The Bingham (Utah) High product was courted by programs around the country, but in late December he released a list of five finalists: Utah, BYU, Michigan, Ohio State and the Trojans. The Utes were thought to be in strong position for Tufele late in the recruiting cycle, but USC seemed to have made up ground after hosting Tufele for an official visit last month and flipping one of his friends, Central (Ore.) High four-star defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu, from Washington. Tufele’s final official visit, the weekend before signing day, was to Utah. Although the two Big Ten East heavyweights on Tufele’s list continued to pursue him as signing day neared, the Utes and USC were perceived as the top two contenders entering Wednesday. Ultimately Tufele decided to head to Los Angeles. His addition is a massive win for the Trojans, as Tufele projects as a big-impact run defender with top-end athleticism for his size and position who can get into the backfield to ...

Fsu Makes Final Pitch To 5-star Recruit Marvin Wilson

... Noles. — Tim Brewster (@Tim Brewster) January 26, 2017. Will it be enough to beat out LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma? I think it might. The worry, of course, is that Wilson has a strong relationship with LSU defensive line coach Pete Jenkins, and the new Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron, who is a former defensive tackles coach and DT himself. LSU is also only a third of the distance from Houston that Tallahassee is. That makes a difference when making a weekend drive. Ohio State thinks it has a shot, thanks in part to fellow Texas prospects Jeffrey Okudah and Baron Browning recruiting him to the Buckeyes. And Oklahoma apparently thinks a recent in-home visit has put the Sooners in a big spot. Thursday night, FSU makes its final pitch. It might be enough to put FSU over the top. Clemson Tigers @ Florida State Seminoles. 12:30 PM - Donald L. Tucker Center ...

Marvin Wilson, Joseph Lewis Among Top Remaining Uncommitted National Prospects

... 3. DE La Bryan Ray, James Clemens (Madison, Ala.), 6-5, 270. Ranked No. 17 overall by ESPN. Schools in the mix: Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, Tennessee. Ray is leaning heavily toward hometown favorite Alabama, and should he side with the Crimson Tide, he would be their sixth five-star prospect of this year’s class, according to 247 Sports. The highest rated player in his state, Ray could get significant playing time with four Alabama defensive ends set to graduate this spring. But he took an official visit to Florida on Jan. 27, so nothing is set in stone quite yet. Ray is scheduled to sign at his high school ceremony at 11:40 a.m. ET. 4. DE K’Lavon Chaisson, North Shore (Houston, Texas), 6-4, 217. Ranked No. 34 overall by ESPN. Schools in the mix: LSU, Texas, Florida. Chaisson is the most ...

One Of The Best Classes We've Sign In 19 Years

... togetherness. It was signees — who promoted the hashtag march — texting each other daily. Coaches used Facetime to have video discussions with recruits and even wore actual game jerseys during visits. Bob Stoops invited everyone to Memorial Stadium, where he threw batting practice with Wiffle Balls during an evening barbecue last summer. And winning 22 games and two Big 12 championships over the past two seasons definitely didn’t hurt. On Wednesday, Stoops and his assistant coaches celebrated a 27-man recruiting class, which ranked in the top 10 of every major recruiting service for the first time since 2010. “I feel like we signed one of the best classes we’ve signed in 19 years,” Stoops said during a news conference. “I love the balance of it. There are 13 offensive guys, 13 defensive guys and one specialist. “We did a great job of answering our needs.”. It was a drama-free signing day for the Sooners. Coaches and fans didn’t have to sweat out a late announcement. In fact, the entire class — ...
