Would be shocked if Neal doesn't flip in the next month or two. Not that it will mean much - the new team will just be his new current top school. Should've just named South Carolina his current favorite back during the summer instead of 'committing' so ridiculously early.

Odd statement for two guys who are supposedly best friends. You'd think they'd be in regular contact and Cooper wouldn't have to 'reach out'. This friendship with teammates seems to get played up all the time in recruiting though.

J. Smith is moving to CB. He said it's all about getting on the field and he has a better shot competing with true freshman at CB than he does at RB. Supposedly he was doing well in the fall before moving to RB. Still, no question TN has a much better story to tell at RB and it sounds like...

It sounds like SC still wants him. Some think his coach is trying to push him out of state, or maybe he's just sold on going out of state. There was talk of his family wanting Ford to stay close to home and he was scheduled to visit SC next week, but then his coach got involved and now he's come...

With the 2 UGA backs and Elijah Hood the East offense should've been focused on the power run game. Don't see how Park is rated so highly at QB. I get that he has an NFL-level ceiling and is incredibly physically gifted, but looks like such a project. Did not look good in this game, the...

From what I've read, it's still not out of the question that SC would take Ford if that's where he eventually wants to go (which is something that no one seems to be able to get a read on at the moment).

Doubt he ends up at South Carolina unless he decides in the very near future. SC only has room for 1 more DB and it's likely that Al Harris Jr. will jump on board in a few weeks when he visits. Would wager Clemson at this point.

FWIW the Tennessee 247 guy thinks it's more that Clemson and SC have moved to the top of his list, rather than Tennessee being completely out of it, in large part because he hasn't been to Knoxville as recently. That said, he didn't talk to the guy, so who knows. And doubt he waits until NSD...

Update on Clemson 247:

FWIW the update on Tennessee's 247 site is nearly identical. "Ford couldn’t be reached for comment after his visit to UT on Friday, but the Vols still are believed to be one of the teams to beat for the Top247 defensive tackle from Hilton Head Island, S.C. South Carolina still appears to be...

What's dumb to me is that people act like the kid (who's only 16 or 17 years old) can't or won't grow anymore over the next few years. But even if he doesn't, guy is a beast.

Ha. Sure, you got me. On the topic of Street, here's the quote from JC Shurburtt to which I was alluding: "USC isn't the only program to not recruit Street hard, this includes some at the top of his offer list. I like him, though."

Have read that a lot of those schools on his list aren't recruiting him very hard at the moment. The fact that he doesn't have a South Carolina offer as a guy that highly rated out of NC is somewhat surprising (at least to me). Would guess that implies that there are some academic issues, but...

The biggest negative about SC's football facilities is that they are off campus. But the quality of the actual facilities - weight room, player's lounge, stadium area - is very high. Again, probably not quite at the same level as the facilities at Bama or UT, but not far enough off to be a...

And as far as I've read, the guy isn't considering Clemson...
