Roquan Smith Update - Jim Visited His Mom at Work

Some of the lengths these crazy coaches of other our teams will go - visiting a recruits mom at her work?  Boy oh boy.

A recruiting story here on Smith - focus of story is how manly manly Richt was, but then a blurb mid story about how Harbaugh did everything Richt did.... then more.

  Bigger picture it is always amusing to think the things these multi millionaire coaches have to go through to land a 17 year old's signature.

There have been several celebrity sightings this week in Macon Count. Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin was there on Tuesday, while Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh made the rounds on Thursday.

Harbaugh wants Smith so badly that he went to see Roquan’s mother at her job at Fort Valley State. “  (Harbaugh) visited her at work, and he also visited with Roquan’s aunt and uncle,” Harold said. “He did the same things as Coach Richt. He visited some people for us, and shook some hands. All three of those men coming here was a big deal to our community. It gave people something to get excited about. It gives our younger players motivation to work hard.”

Per HS coach he is headed to UCLA (again with those guys) still undecided.  Sounds like he is waiting for NSD.

“The thing that surprised me is that he left tonight to go to UCLA, and he really doesn’t have his mind made up,” Harold said. “That’s what really surprised me after speaking with him.

“Once he gets back from UCLA, he’s going to talk with his family and me. We’re going to pray about it. He plans on having a decision by Tuesday night. It’s a big decision in a young man’s life. He’s going to seek the Lord for direction, and talk to his family and me.

“Next Wednesday will be an exciting day. We’re excited about having the national media come to our little community. We’ll be able to show off the hard work of our young men to the rest of the nation.”
