Devon Still (official thread)

[CleveBucks]

Something I read lately seems to make me think he's turning towards OSU lately. Probably nothing, but something about the timing of the visits and a quote in one of the latest updates is sort of telling.

Wad or Grad, you guys willing to throw out a prediction on this one?

This one is too close to call... He likely has been going back and forth all week trying to decide... We'll all see tomorrow if getting the last shot helped us out any...

PSU...no info, just a hunch.

tOSU is the logical choice based PT, staff stability, and NC chances...

However, the delayed decision makes me think that the logical choice will not happen.

Just my thoughts...

I posted my thoughts in the 25 Uncommitted Prospects thread, but basically I agree with 21...I still think he ends up at PSU but the fact that this has dragged on is a positive for OSU. It will likely come down to the wire and to see him pick either school would not be a shock. Wish I had more info to offer than that, but this kid seems to be genuinely torn.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

I agree with the above, and let me add this: Unlike some other high-profile recruits who obviously enjoyed the media atention and the resulting drama, Devon appears to be truly torn between OSU and PSU, and he is not trying to "play" either school. Like James Scott earlier this year, Still's final decision might be made on the way to the podium.

I haven't seen a posted time for the announcement. If I missed it, sorry.

Anyone have than info handy?

I don't think a specific time has been set... I know there will be a press conference at Devon's school, but his coach has been trying to set up a televised event with ESPNU... So that may have the time of the announcement up in the air...

From the PSU site...Devon's announcement has been pushed back to next Wednesday (1/24) at noon on ESPNU.

This doesn't mean anything...it was done solely to accommodate ESPNU.

I don't like the fact that Lying Larry will stop in on Monday. Have all of our coaches used their in homes with Still?

By BK, Devon went out to dinner last night with Coaches Hazel, Heacock and Fickell. He mentions the delayed announcement for TV and says Coach Johnson will be in next week before the announcement. Nothing new.

WadC,

Thats a free link bro!!

And I thought I would point out that we no longer get the last visit. Larry Sr. and another assistant will be in on Monday

Many times articles are originally posted as premium articles and are then switched to be free ones...

Next time a simple "thank you" will do...

I can't remember getting a recruit this torn for the last 4-5 years. It always seems like they fall the other way.

agreed. The law of averages says that eventually OSU has to land one or ten of these fence sitters.
