EJ Levenberry Jr. possible de-commitment
Per Tremendous -
Add another name into the bag. Per a couple tweets by Mike Farrell at Rivals, it sounds like LB EJ Levenberry Jr. wants to re-open his recruitment. I don't think he's officially de-committed from FSU, but it sounds like he is having second thoughts for sure and plans to visit Michigan. We had a good rapport with EJ during his recruitment, so I may be able to get to the bottom of what's going on.
Well this should be interesting....
edit - Here's the link to Rivals regarding the situation.

Right now I have to say my son made the right decision in choosing Jimbo
and FSU but that Michigan degree and Greg Mattison's relationship with
my son are hard to resist.

And just like that #Michigan pulls out of the Levenberry race unless they lose a commit per levenberry's father

He wanted FSU over Mich..I wouldnt give him shit.. He's wasting our time and we need to focus on LT and Green.. Also, his dad reminds me of a man that killed 5 hookers while at SMU
Did anyone else read that Zeke Pike just got cut from Auburn for ANOTHER disciplinary problem?

Per Rivals:
- - AUBURN -- Quarterback Zeke Pike, who signed with the Tigers last winter as a three-star prospect, has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules.
The native of suburban Cincinnati was arrested on June 24 for public intoxication. That wasn't his first brush with trouble - Pike was suspended twice during his senior season at Dixie Heights (Ky.) High for disciplinary reasons.
"I'll be better because of all this," Pike told AuburnSports.com.
Pike, 19, was 4-of-8 for 42 yards in the A-Day game earlier this year. He enrolled in January and earned time with the first-team offense during spring practice when Clint Moseley went down with a shoulder problem.
Sophomore Kiehl Frazier and Moseley, now a junior, are expected to challenge for the starting job throughout fall camp. Auburn also has a true freshman, Jonathan Wallace, on scholarship at quarterback.

I don't know how I could have missed that. I was looking for the "chatter" from Levenberry's Dad and stumbled across that article. No harm, no foul.

Too noob to initiate new thread, but Scout has a free video with the director of scouting (Kennedy) and 1 of the 3 subjects he talks about is recruit most likely to make an impact, and Kennedy not only selected Green, but stated he would move up to at minumum the #2 RB on scouts rankings.
Looks like Rivals will not be alone at naming him a 5* and having him ranked blue-chip elite.

I really think an analysis of integrity's impact on a football program--especially recruiting--would be an awesome idea.
There are a bunch of things that complicate the issue (having a successful NFL-caliber coach being one of them), but for once, it seems like 'doing the right thing' is paying off.
...you lost your place in line. Hoke should still have interest in the kid given that he's an elite talent. But our primary targets are Green and Treadwell and we need to play our cards to ensure both their commitments first. If it turns out we lose one (or both), THEN we can turn to Levenberry if he's still available. This may go all the way to NSD before it resolves.
Good problem to have btw.
The decommitment makes a lot more sense in light of this:

a t-shirt that says "HOLLA ACHA BOY" but written with a shoelace. It would sell well not only in Ann Arbor, but in the section of Florida between Lake Okeechobee and Pompano Beach. This is the area known affectionately as the Pahokee-Deerfield region.
