Kraig Appleton (former WR Wisconsin Badgers)

Big question is are those his final three?

That's what he states in the article...

Who knows if that sticks though... (Cue an Illini site to do an interview with him today )

Looks like he went to the Barksdale school of decision making.

The way Appleton has been all over the board, I don't think even with an early committment that his recruitment would be over until the ink was dry on his LOI.

 

[illinidarrin]

another curious interview.

 

[NFBuck]

First he says he likes schools like LSU, OSU, and a few others but not Illinois. Then he says Illinois is his slight leader. Now he says his top three are OSU, TTU, and LSU. Big question is are those his final three? Kinda weird that Illinois is his leader, then eliminated, then his leader, and then eliminated again.

Eh, it's an 18 year old kid making the biggest decision of his young life. Grown men spend waaaay to much time fretting over whether a kid likes their school of choice. I follow recruiting very closely too, but it doesn't hurt my feelings, and I don't get bent out of shape when a certain recruit voices a preference for another school like some (recently banned) people do. That's just sad.

Agree totally NFB. I think what we actually had was a 16 year old kid fretting over the decision of an 18 year old kid. There just isn't alot of maturity and perspective in that equation.

By the way NFB, Thanks for your service.... and I'm not referring to on this board.

Good point but I don't have anything against what he has said, just remarking on how weird it is that a guy can have a leader and eliminate them, then have them as his leader again then eliminate them again. Is it for real or is it just inconsistencies between different articles coming from different interviewers. If he really doesn't have Illinois in his top 3 now you gotta figure that he is looking for reasons not to go there.

Names LSU his leader but calls LSU and OSU his top two schools, with Texas Tech and Wisconsin slightly behind. No timetable for a decision. Wants to visit all four sometime this year.

Is Ohio State finished with WR recruiting this year or is Appleton still an option?

Ohio State is done at WR, and quite possibly at all skill positions now.

I wouldn't quite count out one more RB...

Hmm... You're right... I wonder why it is on tOSU's front page on Scout...

From O&B News...says he likes Illinois a lot, as well as ND, OSU and LSU. Plans to announce at the Army game and says Illinois is the only place he has seen in-deptch so far.
