Sam Webb: Recruiting
U-M, MSU still in the running for five-star Ohio cornerback

Life as one of the nation's most heavily pursued football recruits is about to get a little less hectic for Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary's standout Doran Grant. The five-star corner prospect recently pared down a list of suitors that had eclipsed 30, and plans to make further cuts in the coming weeks.

"I've narrowed it down to a top ten of Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Cincinnati, USC, UCLA, Penn State and one other school that escapes me right now," Grant told Scout.com.

By early September that list will become even more manageable when he chops it in half.

"I want to get my recruitment to a point that is easy to concentrate on, and I can give more attention to those five," he said.

Ohio State, Michigan State, and Michigan are likely members of that yet-to-be-named quintet. The Big Ten brethren previously sat atop Grant's leader board in the listed order until he began keeping his leanings closer to the vest. Despite that more reserved public stance, many recruiting pundits still consider Ohio State the team to beat. The Buckeyes are again flexing their recruiting muscle, already having racked up 17 verbal commitments in what is Scout.com's No. 2 class in country. The 5-foot-10, 175-pounder is in no hurry to end his recruitment, and the Bucks have assured him his timetable won't pose a problem.

"They're keeping me (high on their priority list)," Grant said. "They're basically saying they are going to keep recruiting me to the end. They are not going to stop."

Grant's father, Ted Jones, has noticed the attraction between his son and the Buckeyes and has made it a point to stress the importance of thinking long and hard before settling on a school.

"It's probably closeness," Jones said regarding the Buckeyes' primary appeal to his son. "That's the only thing I could think of, if anything. I told him, 'Don't let that be the only reason why you go to that school -- just because it is close. Go to a school that you want to go to. Go to a school that is going to treat you well and give you some playing time -- where you can go and grow as a student and get your education because you got to have that. That is the (most important) thing when you are going to school.'"

No. Though, I don't know why they'd want him seeing how thomas beaver dubbed him overrated when it became pretty clear he wasn't going to be going to m*chg*n...and he's not.

As a person who lives on the 'Left Coast' and doesn't know come here from sic' em......and also being the last to know, even in my own household (wife and daughter).......

With a Dad from MSU, where Dantonio is building a pretty good program, and has two 5*'s already, it seems to me that Yogi Berra said it best......"It ain't over till it's over"....not trying to be contrary, but what's in the wind that makes the Buckeye Faithful believe that Doran's firmly in the OSU camp? Hey, a PM would be great if you cannot answer in this public forum......PS, I hope so as well. We need the latest and greatest lockdown corner. It's really what makes our front seven freed up to go after the QB....thanks in advance.
