Offered today. Sounds pretty open but the in state schools seem to have the advantage at this point.

If neither of the Virginia schools are in the top 25 recruiting classes they should fire their recruiting staffs

Virginia is just loaded this year, huh?

they are almost always loaded. the Hampton Roads area of Virginia always has great talent. Unfortunately, kids from that area rarely go anywhere outside of the ACC -- usually UVA, VT, or NC.

Per 24/7, Staff originally was recruiting him strictly on defense (OLB/DE) but now like him at TE as well. Says he is wide open and will likley take only 3 officials.

This is another reason I love the move to the ACC for us.
Our recruiters can work that coastal region and tell kids that not only will every game be on national television, but that at least a couple every year will be within reasonable distance from their hometown.

This may be a topic for another thread but with the rumors of the B1G trying to poach UVA and UNC this ACC move may not turn out as anticipated from a recruiting standpoint. Hope they stay home and the B1G has to stay like it is.

247 article the other day expects him to commit to FSU anytime now.

Bucknuts source says he committed, Holmes says he didn't. Either way per Wiltfong he really enjoyed his visit and OSU is trending upwards

For the record, I would not bite a nail sandwich to have the inside scoop on any recruit.

If I were an OSU fan, I would not be comfortable with this commitment until NSD.

Yep. And what he is referring to is Bucknuts leaking his commitment before he wanted to announce.

Do you think that's on Bucknuts (i.e. Jalyn telling them directly, but asking them to wait) or the coaching staff (i.e. they told Bucknuts)?

FSU peeps down here in FL are livid.

I imagine, read something the other day that they expected him to commit soon and not to OSU. I'm gonna go on their 247 board and see what's going on.

IMO it doesn't matter. Even if you know, let the kid have his day in the sun. You don't have to be first on everything, bucknuts. If you had it, and he wanted it to be a surprise, then you STFU and let him have his moment.

(And I say this having no knowledge of the situation, so if it was different than the proposed question, then what I said has no nothing to do with this situation.)

Last week Noles thought they were getting JHolmes and Damian Prince. Now not so much.

Alex Gleitman ( of Bucknuts and formerly Eleven Warriors) is my least favorite recruiting reporter in the business by far. That is all.

He got in some sort of pissing match on the BGI board today or yesterday, was pretty unprofessional. He's exactly what I think of when I think of douche OSU fans.

He does that all the time on Bucknuts from what I have seen. Argues with posters more than any other reporter I have seen.
