"Notre Dame has a lot of tradition. Coach (Charlie) Weis won this year without his own players, so you can imagine what he'll do once the team is completely his. He's like an offensive genius to me."

High praise from the kid. Another one of those guys that probably would commit upon being offered. Kid is high on Notre Dame and South Carolina, but doesn't have an offer from either. Third school he likes is Georgia, and he would be a legacy as his dad played there in the 70s.

His most notable offer is from West Virginia at this point, which is surprising considering he is 6-1, runs a 4.46 40 and has a 35 inch vertical jump.

If ND doesn't get Thompson or Little, I hope they get him forsure.

Paul was at the Notre Dame camp and talked about how gorgeous the school was. He also said he had an excellent camp and only dropped one ball all day.

His top 3 are Flordia, South Carolina and Notre Dame, in that order.

Pope Urban has Lakeland locked down.

Great hands and he can take a hit. I like him. Reminds me a little of Robby Parris.

He's going to have to wait for an offer for a while...if he ever gets one.

I have to think Toney Clemons and Drew Davis would get one before he does.

He has verballed to Florida. Yet another wide receiver for Pope Urban's Army.

"I went up to Florida for a little visit and committed to Florida today," added Wilson.

Five Lakeland players have now verballed to Florida.

Five Lakeland players have now verballed to Florida.

That could be a good thing for our recruiting. Urban's putting so much emphasis on one school's talent that it could end up haunting him if some of them don't pan out.

Hey, if Armando Allen, Deonte Thompson and Lorenzo Edwards are left over I'll do cartwheels on Urban's front lawn.

But I hear it's humid down there. Maybe just jumping jacks.
