EJ Levenberry Update
I know I said that I wouldn't do recruiting updates anymore, but I thought I'd share some info on EJ. Turns out FSU will be visiting EJ today in Virginia. This is really interesting to me, because the analysts closest to the Levenberry family, have all said he's a FSU lean at this point. If he's a FSU lean, that appears to be news to the FSU staff. People I've spoken with in the south say it's rare that a school confident about a recruit, make this much of a last minute visit. This is hardly inside info, but this appears to be odd behavior from his prohibited leader. I don't know Coach Hoke's recruiting philosophy, although I can't imagine he'd let FSU have the last visit, unless he knew something no one else did. I'd say this could be a good sign for the Wolverines. Good luck, boys.

Agreed. Also wondering what your contacts think about EJ as a player. Rivals has him as a borderline 5*, while ESPN and 247 rate him much lower.

Agreed. I think FSU is just closing the deal here.

I am trying to remain optimistic but feel like Levenberry is going to FSU especially with so many analysts favoring FSU

That would be one of my favorite decommitments of all time if he decides to continue his updates. Or I guess a re-commitment to the updates, depending on how you look at it.
I can only continue to reference the fact that I live in an onion factory.

EJ is a luxury for the class though, not a necessity. Would much rather have Poggi and another DT/DE type than a SLB given last year's, this year's class.

Haters gonna hate. I think it was pretty evident that most of this board really enjoyed your nation-wide perspective on recruiting and learning about some battles the SEC giants were having. Come on back RDT.

April 23rd, 2012 at 12:59 PM |
Touche'.
Touche'.
Maybe Garnett was like this, but I don't remember a recruit where so many insider sources fell on one side or another...RDT isn't alone, Sam Webb sounded pretty positive this morning...but the $ board recruiting sites that AAB is reading have him FSU bound. It just that a lot of people seem really sure that the opposite thing is going to happen from the other.
But recruiting is a numbers game, and quickly forgotten. Today's recruits are tomorrow's players that people are hoping get replaced by the hot prospect NEXT year. (Some of still remember how excited we were to get you Devin....)

Appreciate the info RDT, but
Appreciate the info RDT, but
Appreciate the info RDT, but this may be par for the course with Jimbo. One of my buddies who is a rabid FSU fan:
"Keep in mind, Jimbo is from the Saban tree and Saban was just scrutinized in the media for writing a recruit like 50 letters in one day. They put the full court press on all the time. For example (although not an ideal outcome), Aaron Lynch was an FSU commitment at the time of the Army AA Game and FSU sent the entire staff to watch the game and was in his hotel meeting with him and his family until ~9pm or so. And for their marquee recruits they still send coaches the maximum amount of times for visits even after they’ve committed. We had a 5* JUCO O-Line commitment last year (turned out he was horrible, but beside the point) and our OL coach was taking weekly flights to North Dakota where his Junior College was. "

Just to be clear, FSU will be visiting EJ's school today to meet with his coaches and, under NCAA guidelines, only incidental contact with the kid is permitted. In home visits are not allowed at this time.

During the incidental contact
During the incidental contact
During the incidental contact that coaches are only allowed to basically greet the kid. Jimbo just seems like a guy who might say some extra words to get him.
