Surprised no offers from the Florida schools.

If he doesn't care about school and just plays football for ego then visit:

Alabama

Ohio State

Texas

Georgia

Michigan

Academically that's not a bad list either, I think all are Top 50 Public Universities.

 

Update:

Michigan (4)

OSU (16)

Georgia (18)

Texas (18t)

Alabama (46)

Surprised no offers from the Florida schools.

 

How often do the Florida schools recruit anyone except for a 5 Star Skill player outside of the state of Florida?

Scott County OL Bryan Hudson has a offer from Florida.

Go to the school where you have the best chance of playing and starting.

I would pick UC. UC has had alot of Dlinemen go to the NFL.

After a google search, kid needs to find someone else do do his highlight tape. 3 plays in a row he gives up his outside with no corner help. Either bad decisions or bad scheme (again not familiar with Trinity so who knows) just doesn't look good on film.

 

He's just a sophomore. His junior and senior tape will be better.

No doubt.

Easy answer. Alabama.

 

Given how late Saban is in his career, I don't think that it is the easy answer. In addition, winning national championships while spectating from the bench is secondary to actually playing. It would be wise to insure there was an immediate need at his position. Also depends upon what the individual wants to do after football. Depending upon the goals of the individual, the right choice might be Duke, Vanderbilt or Northwestern.

In football if Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State, Clemson and most SEC schools offer then it is an easy answer.

 

In basketball if UK, Duke, UNC or Kansas offers then it is an easy answer.

 

The only time it is hard is when they all offer you and you have to choose between the blue bloods.

 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Alabama seems like the slam dunk but I am going to throw curve ball.

 

If you come on board you are probably automatically coming on board behind two other All-Americans and you are also going to have another All-American getting signed next season looking to take your spot.

 

If you feel confident you can work and be the best player on the roster it is a no brainer. No school offers a better chance at a National Title or a Professional Career for their Defensive starters... but the other end of the sword is one freak injury or one bad decision and suddenly you may be the guy who rides the pine as four guys start ahead of you and all get drafted.

 

That's a heavy responsibility.... if you want to play right away or want to be locked in as the Starter Alabama is not the answer..but if you feel strongly enough you can outwork and outperform anyone it is easily #1

Of that list I would cut immediately:

Cincy- Too small, not enough prestige

Indiana- Middle of the pack and limited shots at the Pros

Ole Miss- Pending NCAA Sanctions imminent

Miss State- The SEC West is brutal..your best bet is always an 8 win season and missing a bowl is highly likely

Syracuse- Just not relevant

 

Depending On His Aspirations For Education I Would Cut (in order):

Purdue- Only if he wants to be an engineer..lower tier program trying to rebuild otherwise

Vandy- Quality education, SEC school, but your best bet is 7 wins

Duke- Not a bad program under Cutcliffe but not a springboard for NFL, but elite school.

 

Next Round of Cuts (In Order)

Oregon- Long way from home and a program who has an Offense that will naturally strain the defense and allow points

Kentucky- I am a UK fan..but let's be honest here... if Herron wasn't playing in the State of KY they don't stand out and UK isn't exactly a NFL factory

Virginia Tech- Bud Foster has allure as a D.C. but every positive about VaTech is amplified and multiplied with others

 

 

FINAL LIST:

Alabama- The elite offer... but as mentioned there may be reason to say no

 

Ohio State- The elite offer for Midwestern kids..high chance of NFL..high chance of playing for title.. but just like Bama you better succeed or you get recruited over

 

Louisville- Probably the best "local" choice right now. UL will wins 8+ games under Petrino and will get guys to the NFL that are stars.

 

Georgia- Outside of Bama and Ohio State the best chance to get to the NFL. Solid education and winning culture but maybe not the pressure as Bama/OSU. The drawback? Players are always getting arrested and also UGA doesn't win titles.

 

Michigan- The "IT" program under Harbaugh. Good NFL roots... only need to beat Ohio State to have a shot at the Playoffs. Good education. Drawback? Have you seen the women in Ann Arbor? Don't really compare to some of the other schools on here and it's cold!

 

Texas- Great education. Major market. NFL roots. Great college city. Herman is a wild card. Everything suggests he can win at tTexas but then again Charlie Strong probably felt the same way.

 

Tennessee- Prominent SEC school with a history of dominating DE's even as recent as Derrick Barnett. Can be a legend to the fanbase. Probably my first cut of the finals though because very strong chance your coach is going to get fired.

C-A-T-S, Cats, Cats, Cats!

 

Someone had to say it.

Agreed. If you want to play for championships, get coached up by the best, and have a real shot at the NFL, you can't go wrong with Alabama and Nick Saban.

 

Change Alabama and Nick Saban to Ohio State and Urban Meyer and it's still true.

You need to sit back and realistically determine where you have the best chance to meet your goals.

 

A few years ago a 3 year All-State O-Tackle for Trinity signed to play for Urban Meyer at Florida. The same year the O-Tackle on the other side of the line went to Louisville as a preferred walk-on. Player 1 played very sparingly in his 4 years. Player 2 earned a scholarship after his freshman year, was a 3 year starter, drafted and played 3 years in the NFL. (SIDE NOTE: This was during the Kragthorp disaster at Louisville, so Louisville wasn't even close to being an offensive power) If your goal is the play in the NFL you have to first determine what are your chances to play at a college. If you're a good enough player the NFL will find you regardless of where you play, but that will only happen if you actually get playing time in college. Sometimes the big name school and coach isn't the right option.
