I'm not as bullish on Fowler as I am on Spence...for reasons I don't want to get into here as they toe the line of the recruiting forum rules.

Meaning you'd rather have Spence if you could choose Wad?
Personally, looking at both of their films, I'd probably take Spence. Don't really know their personalities, but Fowler seemed like a nice kid in that interview.

Without knowing more about what type of defense they intend to run, I'd take Spence...although I think his game is similar to Washington's. I like that they are also talking to Pittman and Hamilton, who are more of your prototypical strongside DEs.

Good analysis. Fowler does seem a bit small, but a great talent nonetheless.
I certainly wouldn't mind a d-line haul of Washington, Spence, Hamilton, and/or Pittman.

For Seminoles commitment Dante Fowler Jr., there's a little less luster but a brighter smile

Lakewood defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. says letting down his team is his biggest regret of last season, when he missed games because of a suspension.
[WILLIE J. ALLEN JR. | Times]
ORLANDO ? Dante Fowler Jr. spins around an offensive lineman and in a blur puts on the brakes inches from the quarterback, who is grateful on this day to be wearing a red jersey.
Recruiting analysts lined up alongside the practice field at ESPN Wide World of Sports nod, then tweet.
Each day, there is more spinning and blur and braking, more nodding than the previous day, more tweeting.
Everyone seems to agree: Dante Fowler Jr. once again looks like, well, Dante Fowler Jr.
The best kid out here, says one analyst.
Unstoppable today, mutters another.
"It was a good day," says Fowler, typically affable.
He answers more questions, and smiles some more, then you notice the biggest difference in Fowler's game since a dreadful, embarrassing fall spoiled his senior season, the one thing that went missing when he was kicked off the Lakewood High School football team.
You see joy.
"I'm at Disney World," he says. "I gotta be happy!"
? ? ?
As he prepares for Thursday's Under Armour All-America Game at Tropicana Field, Fowler looks nothing like the kid who disappeared in the big games and last month was told he was no longer considered a five-star recruit.
The Florida State commit has been what he has always claimed to be ? one of the country's best defensive end prospects.
"I'm coming with something to prove," said Fowler, a 6-foot-3, 235-pound pass rusher. "I have a chip on my shoulder. They took my star and I want it back."
