Five-star James Wilder II to decide before start of senior season
Premier athlete James Wilder II (Tampa, Fla./Plant Senior) revealed a timetable for his decision for ESPN affiliate Web site GatorCountry.com.
"I'm going to make a decision by the end of the summer and focus on the season," said Wilder. "It's a lot of pressure and I don't want to keep having to think about [recruiting]."
GatorCountry also reports that Wilder is currently focused on a short list of schools that includes Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Miami-FL, South Carolina, Tennessee and USC.
"I've seen the schools I like quite a bit," he noted. "But Coach (Weiner) and I want to see the schools I like this summer. I want to visit them all, compare them, and start eliminating them. By the end of the summer, I'll make my choice."
Wilder is rated as the nation's No. 1 athlete and No. 8 overall prospect.
