I highly doubt this "conditional offer" but this kid was a player in HS...we could not block him at the MIKE and he also dominated the SC North/South game. Just keeping this here in case something does develop down the line...

Ford Rising On Recruiting Charts

By Phil Kornblut
Former Georgetown standout DE Larry Ford (6-3 240) spent last season redshirting at Coffeyville JC, KS. Now, major schools are ready to see what he can do this spring and fall. Ford said he has conditional verbal offers from USC, Clemson, Ohio State, Kansas State, Pittsburgh, Washington State, Texas A&M and LSU. The offers are conditional based on his academic progress. He also likes Wake Forest and NC State. Ford said he is doing well academically and is on track to graduate in December. He would have three years to play three on the next level. "My dad wants me to go to USC," Ford said. "It's all about my decision. If I had to choose between USC and Clemson, I'd pick Clemson." Ford said he was eyeballed by a Clemson recruiter he identified as David Blackwell last season. He said he received his USC offer from Brad Lawing Monday. Ford plans to make unofficial visits to USC, Clemson, NC State and Wake Forest while he's home on spring break. Ford made 117 tackles in his senior season of high school and played in the North-South game. He signed with Newberry but decided not to enroll there and ended up at Coffeyville. He's put on 35 pounds since arriving there.

Ford Expecting Big Orange Offer

All the schools offering Ford are doing so contingent on him making his grades. Those include USC, Clemson, Ohio State, Kansas State, Pittsburgh, Washington State, Texas A&M and LSU. Ford said his favorite four schools are USC, Clemson, Wake Forest and NC State, and he really likes Wake.

Ford Checks Out Sooners

By Phil Kornblut
 DE Larry Ford (6-3 240) of Coffeyville JC, KS and Georgetown made an unofficial visit Oklahoma last Saturday for a close up look at the Sooners. "We watched the scrimmage and then hung out with one of their linemen, Brandon Walker," Ford said. USC and Clemson are two verbal offers he's received while Wake Forest, NC State, Tennessee, Oklahoma, NC State, Ohio State, Kansas State, Pittsburgh, Washington State, Texas A&M, Miami, Auburn and LSU have expressed interest. Ford said he talked with USC recruiter Brad Lawing and Clemson recruiter Chris Rumph while home on spring break and plans to visit the schools this summer. "Coach Lawing said I had an offer from the 'Cocks, and coach Rumph said they are offering and he hopes I'm interested in them," Ford said. "I'm trying to get back home. This area ain't for me. It's snowing right now. It's crazy. I'm trying to get back over to my side of town." Ford said USC, Clemson, Wake Forest and NC State are his favorites. "If I had to pick a number one, it would be Wake Forest," he said adding that the Demon Deacons have not been heavily recruiting him. Ford said he did very well academically last semester pulling a 3.3 GPA. "It will probably be the same or a little bit higher this semester," he said.
