This kid looks like a stud. Probably would have issues making a dinner reservation in England with that name however.

Would be a massive get and when you have CRG on a kid and you get the last visit before signing day you always have a chance but I think his close relationship with Kenyatta Watson Sr. (on FSU’s staff) and the fact FSU is close to home so his family can easily come see him playing will win out in the end.

Do you think it’s to keep him away from TN or genuine interest?

That is the real question in a lot of recruitments. Are they trying to get them, or are they trying to keep them away from Tennessee/somebody else? It is the game that it is today.

I remember perusing through newspapers trying to figure out what was going on. Different venue. Same game plan right now...IMO

Tifton (Ga.) Tift County four-star defensive lineman Tyre West has been committed to Georgia for over a year, but he is not expected to sign with the in-state Bulldogs next week.

Florida State has surged this fall. Auburn and Tennessee have come on strong in recent weeks too.

The No. 140 prospect in the On3 Consensus can’t wait for December 15 because numerous schools have given him a lot to think about.

“I will announce my final decision next Wednesday and I can’t wait to be done with it,” West said. “It has been stressful. It has gotten really tough trying to figure out which school is best for me.

“I have had coaches in here a lot, I talk to different schools every day, and it is going to be tough. I just can’t wait for December 15 to get here so I can sign and have my mind made up.”

Coaches from Auburn, Florida State, and Tennessee were in Tifton Monday. West was expected to take an official to Auburn Wednesday, then finish out the week with an official visit to Tennessee. But the Auburn visit has now been canceled, he told On3.

It is a lot to handle as he prepares to make his final decision.

“All these coaches say a lot of things I like,” West said. “One day I think I want to go here, then two hours later I am thinking I want to go to another school. It is not easy.

“The next day I am thinking that all over again. These coaches are great, they know how to recruit, and I think after these last two official visits, I will be ready to make my mind up.”

West said the defensive scheme, how a school wants to use him, and relationships are most important to him.

Florida State’s connected with Tyre West

West has visited Florida State four times and he has connected with a number of staff members in Tallahassee. From head coach Mike Norvell to defensive tackles coach Odell Haggins to off the field staffers Ryan Bartow and Kenyatta Watson, all have played a role in the Seminoles being a finalist.

“The relationships I have at Florida State are strong,” West said. “I like how the players relate to the coaches, the players and coaches are on the same page, and I feel like I fit in there.”

The message the staff has presented has made an impact too.

“Florida State has told me I am not wanted, but needed, and I feel that way. That is important to me and it stands out.”

Tyre West has been high on Tennessee for years

Tennessee was involved with West very early in his recruitment. The Vols were one of the first schools to offer, West tripped to Knoxville early, and Tennessee was high on his list.

“I liked Tennessee a lot when it was early,” West said. “I almost committed to Tennessee when I was a freshman. This will be my first visit this year, but I have been there before, and I have always liked it there.”

Josh Heupel spent around three hours in Tifton Monday. Rodney Garner is highly involved too. The chance to play early in Knoxville has West’s attention.

“Coach Garner says he is losing 10 defensive linemen out of his room and I would have a chance to help right away. He wants me to make an impact as a freshman.

“I like thinking about playing a lot, maybe starting, early there at Tennessee. I know coach Garner could help me as a coach too.”

Final decision is coming for Tyre West

West will return home from visits to Auburn and Tennessee this weekend and he will be ready to make that final decision.

“I am not sure when I will know for sure, but I think by Tuesday,” West said. “It could go into Wednesday morning before I sign, but I would like to know Tuesday.

“It is exciting to be here and to have the chance to sign with a top school, but it is tough right now, and it is really stressful, so I can’t wait to have that feeling that I know what school I am going to.”

FSU is becoming a pain in our a$$. It seems like almost every recruit thread they are mentioned as well as Auburn.

Established relationships hardly works for us, but for everyone else...

Well you gotta remember, this staff has only had one year to establish relationships. Even with West, it sounded like he was interested in us since his freshman year in HS, but he probably didn't even meet Heupel until this past year.

Well he’s liked UT since he was a freshman, almost committed to us (lol). Has really strong relationships at FSU and feels like he fits in. Believe it’s going to boil down to how comfortable does he feel with this staff on Tuesday night. If the relationships are equal, maybe the draw to UT for a longer time period will sway him our way.

In my opinion THIS is TN most important recruit.

If we can go head to head with Georgia and get this kid, that will prove we are def on the way up. We gotta win some of these battles. Especially for a kid as talented as West.

I would put Pearce a close second, due to his measurables.

It's head to head with FSU. He isn't going to be a part of UGA's class
