His coach encouraged Corey to move up his commitment because teams were filling up their classes. I don't think he was referencing ASU. Corey may go there, but USC and OSU have to be considered favorites at this time.

Where is everyone getting the information that USC and tOSU are his 2 favorites? I can provide links to articles that say he has a top 3 - not a top 2. Can someone please provide me a link?

I think his coach told him that for 2 reasons:

1.) His coach was getting sick of all of the calls from the 35 universities that were recruiting him and by narrowing his list of colleges, the coach would have less to deal with.

2.) Certain high school coach's want their players to go to tOSU, USC, Michigan, ND because then it makes them look good as a coach. It's kind of like a star on their report card and gives them bragging rights. ASU isn't in that echelon - yet. I'm hoping Erickson can change that.

Adams has said that he doesn't plan on making a decision until after his high school football season, so hopefully ASU can put up a good showing against Georgia and USC which will help our position. Obviously you guys play USC too and I think Adams will be watching us all very closely throughout the season.

I think his coach is more concerned about Corey missing the boat by waiting too long. Schools are starting to fill up their classes alot sooner than in years past. I did not say ASU is out of it. Good luck Corey!

I thought people read way too much into the coaches comments..

Sounds like a coach who just wants his kid to have the ability to choose whichever school he wants, and not be in position where a couple of his favorite schools have no room for him.. thus not allowing him to make the choice

Corey Adams did another visit to ASU again today to tour their new indoor practice facilities. ASU used to go up to Flagstaff, AZ every year to practice in the cooler weather, but now they will stay in Tempe to practice indoors.

The USC/tOSU battle isn't coming from articles or links...It is coming from what some people are hearing, not from stories...Not saying that ASU isn't in the game, just that is where it is coming...You can't believe what they recruits say in articles, but that is for a totally different thread and I don't want 21 to get on me...:tongue2:

Saw this over on the FVS board:

What do you make of the quote in his latest update of Corey not being able to get a hold of his recruiter b/c his phone is dead or he got a new number? Is USC cooling on him or is this a legit scenario? I'm not gonna jump to any conclusions so that's why i'm asking since you probably have a better grasp on how USC is recruiting Corey.

I have no didea what update he is referring to (Rivals, Scout, ?) but thought it might be of interest.

USC landed a 5 star JUCO DT the end of May and a 4 star DE the end of June. They have a lot irons in the fire at DE, but not so much at DT.

They brought in 5 DL last year and 4 the year before.

No idea how big this class will be but if anybody draws the kind of latent that would allow them the luxury of "cooling" on a kid like Adams it is USC.
