Denzel Ward decommits from Michigan. With his recent move to Bradenton (Fla.) think Florida is in pretty good shape for the Wach List OL.

Oklahoma offers IMG Academy (Fla) OT Denzel Ward

@AllenTrieu

must be the Jerry Montgomery connection. Oklahoma seems to be offering a few former Michigan targets/current commits from the 2014 class.

Denzel Ward has committed to #Purdue. This is huge for the Boilers.

Decommitted from scUM to commit to Purdue. Great get for Hazell.

 

[Buckeye Nut]

Good get for Purdue and a surprising one. Most people had him pegged to end up at Florida.

Very true.

Starting to look this could be a Gunner Kiel type recruitment. Still a lot of time left to watch this roller coaster ride.

You would think that now, wouldn't you...? Fact remains that he didn't decommit from an Indiana, he decommitted from scUM. And he didn't end up verballing to a LSU or a Notre Dame. He committed to Purdue. At the end of the day, it sure is funny as heck.

Yeah I find it funny as heck too, I am not concerned one bit that he will not end up in our class. Congrats to Purdue for now. It will be interesting to see where he ends up signing and how many times he commits/decommits along the way.

Awesome for Purdue! I can see how guys would want to play for Coach Hazell. Hopefully this one sticks.

Purdue is ranked 64th in the country with 5 commits. From his time at tOSU, I feel Hazell is better than that at recruiting. I get the feeling he is slow playing recruiting so that he can get some W's on the board.

Decommitted...again.
