They changed the rules. Official offers can't go out until the fall of their senior year, a year later than before. As usual, this rule accomplishes practically nothing.

Oh it accomplishes plenty! Now Kiffin has to wait until kids are in high school. (re: the 13 year old qb he offered last year)

his recruitment is somewhat strange, doesn't seem to be getting the full court press from programs in his region like ND, OSU, MICH, or PSU.

Seems like it is all Pitt or Bama for him right now, and that is a little puzzling to me because he is one of, if not the most talented RB prospects in this class.

I agree that his recruitment is somehow a little strange. The kid seems to be extremely talented but not getting the looks that even lesser (at least of film) RB's are receiving. Time may change this but it does not add but from my point of view. I know we are loaded at RB and need to fill various needs but he really seems like a type of kid you make room for. Maybe he is the one "ending" his recruitment with various schools, but I just don't know.

Idk if we really need to make room for another RB, when we have 2 committed and will be 4deep at the position for the next few years. He's good, but I don't think he's that good where he's gonna start over what we already have on the roster after year 1 or 2

Pitt likely pick for Shell
Sources say Hopewell RB will commit to Panthers at news conference Friday
Thursday, October 13, 2011
By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Pitt coach Todd Graham might not need coffee to get going early Friday morning. Rushel Shell is expected to deliver Graham some uplifting news.

Shell, a senior halfback at Hopewell High School, will have a news conference at 8 a.m. to announce his college choice, and sources close to his recruiting say it will be Pitt.

Shell, who became the WPIAL's all-time leading rusher this season, said he made his college choice this summer but didn't want to make it public. Alabama was his other finalist.

If Shell makes a verbal commitment to Pitt, it will be a huge boost for the Panthers and their first-year coach. Shell is ranked among the top running backs in the country by scouting services. Scout.com ranks him No. 4 and Rivals.com No. 5.

While sources say it's Pitt, there are other indications that Shell is choosing the Panthers. For one, Shell has visited Pitt a number of times, yet has never been to Alabama.

Shell originally said he would announce his college decision Friday night on ESPNU because the station is carrying the Hopewell at Central Valley game at 6 p.m. But Shell decided Wednesday to have a morning news conference to announce his choice.
