If this kid is having problems with academics, how come he's looking at UVA, isn't that the hardest school to get into out the schools he's looking at?

Yup. And Morgan Moses is playing at Fork Union right now.

Al Groh needs to win and win now.

Yes it is. I'd try MSU or West Virginia as a back up plan if i were coaching him.

 

[pnuts34]

Al Groh needs to win and win now.

Very true! After starting 0-3 and losing a game to a D-1AA team, he may not be around to coach Moses, or Hankins if he chooses there!

 

[Cinfali]

Yup. And Morgan Moses is playing at Fork Union right now.

Because he couldn't pass the NCAA clearing house. Otherwise he would be playing at UVA right now.

 

[MaxBuck]

Al Groh needs to win and win now.

If Johnathon goes to UVA, he won't be playing for Al Groh.

Recruiting
DT becomes a priority for MSU
BY MATT DORSEY

...

In-state target:
The state of Michigan has two defensive tackles that are considered high-level recruits: Johnathon Hankins of Detroit Southeastern and Carl Davis of Sterling Heights Stevenson. Davis had an offer from Michigan State, but the 6-foot-5, 300-pound prospect decided to end his recruitment earlier this week by committing to Iowa. Davis officially visited the Hawkeyes for their victory over the Wolverines.

Hankins is a 6-foot-3, 326-pound prospect that helps clog the middle for the undefeated Southeastern Jungaleers. Hankins has some impressive scholarship offers, including Ohio State and Oklahoma; however neither the Spartans nor Wolverines have pulled the trigger on an offer. It may be a situation where the in-state teams are looking for smaller, quicker type tackles. The latest reports indicate that Hankins has slimmed down some since this past spring, which is allowing him to play quicker.

Meanwhile, tackle Johnathon Hankins (6-3, 300) anchors a strong defensive line for Southeastern.

"They're big everywhere, a lot bigger than we are," Tim Hardin said. "They have tall players that are big and strong, a lot of great athletes. The same 11 guys go both ways. Their DBs (defensive backs) are 6-3, 6-4. We'll have to overcome our size disadvantage."
