'14 SC DT Poona Ford

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Found this on a USC website dated the 20th;

USC was the strong, early leader for DL Poona Ford of Hilton Head, and while the Gamecocks are still very much in the hunt, at least three others have caught the fancy of the talented run stuffer. "I think there are still a lot of schools still in play," said his coach BJ Payne. "The top three he's listing are Tennessee, Ohio State and Louisville. A lot of people ask me does that mean South Carolina's out and I don't think so." USC visited Ford last Monday and Ford set plans to camp at USC. He will also camp at Ohio State and Tennessee and some other places according to his coach. USC was Ford's first major offer and that put the Gamecocks in the early lead. But exposure to these other programs has given Ford more options to consider. "I know when he went to Tennessee he really enjoyed their staff," Payne said. "I know he fell in love with their facilities. And he's always had Ohio State in his top five, even before Ohio State offered. He went to camp there last year. If you look at his top three or four schools, they've all produced multiple defensive linemen, very good defensive linemen. Ohio State, Tennessee, and South Carolina, those three schools are top of the line as far as defensive linemen." Arizona is another school Ford wants to see this summer. He has 25 offers but Payne says Ford has shrunk the list to eight and will get down to three after camps. Those eight are USC, Ohio State, Tennessee, Louisville, Arizona, Kansas State, NC State and Toledo. Payne said Florida could become a factor with an offer. Ford was going to wait until Signing Day for an announcement but his coach wants him to decide earlier than that so the schools that don't get him can recruit other defensive linemen. Payne would like him to decide before his senior season but he doesn't expect that. Ford has told him he wants to take some official visits and go from there.

Nothing new just some insight from a coach of his....

Coming right out and saying he will visit 3 or 4 times? U don't hear that very often. Does he have friends on the team or something?

I was talking about suboxone, but that'll work.

What about it?

 

[LynxVol]

I'm not sure what ur talking about.. He said from the start that usce was a non factor when the services said he was a lean there.. Then a week later, the sites say that his top two are UT and osu, with UT leading(like c2p said)

See SCar's post. That's what I was referencing. I realize close2poona has been pretty spot on. Apparently, as of today, USCe is most definitely a factor.

I would like to hear close2poona's opinion on the article posted by USCe's 247 guy.

Lol it's bad that that's what came to my mind too.

 

[KBVol]

As of this morning C2P said UT still has a huge lead. He's been spot on to date. I'm going with that til C2Ps next post which either reconfirms or says otherwise.

 

[Biopsyman]

[Jackcrevol]

Hey guys, I have been busy and haven't posted. Vols still have a huge lead. Camps at UT on June 14. Come out and see him. It will be his 6th straight camp day and he will still dominate which will be scary since he won't be fresh.

****in a peter man! we need this kid, bad

Oh I wasn't meaning anything by asking you what about them but another poster said what I was thinking. Just surprised to see that in a post lol. Those things helped me get through the toughest period in my life.

Poona just pull the trigger man, we need you on this team. Stripling knows how to coach up any type of DLineman and he sends them to the League brotha!!
