If he plays safety he has one heck of a chance to see serious playing time next year.

Playing time at OSU has to be attrractive to him. But then again, FSU needs all the help they can get on defense.

The kid sounds classy and is an amazing talent so I wish him the best wherever he goes. But he sure would be an awesome get out of Florida!

Lemming has a show on CSTV called the Lemming Report. It was on last night around 11:30 and he was interviewing Joyner and Riggs. It had to have been fairly current b/c they discussed the Notre Dame visit. Lemming asked Joyner if he was looking to stay in Florida or if he was looking nationally and Joyner stated he was looking nationally and named a top 5 of Florida, Ohio State, USC, Notre Dame, and I think Alabama. No mention of Florida State. Maybe he meant to say Florida State instead of Florida or maybe I had one too many beers but I'm fairly certain he made no mention of the Noles, for what its worth. I wish I had a link or the DVR going at the time. Maybe someone can refute or confirm this?

I happened to watch about five minutes of that show (it was all I could stomach of lemming) and yes, Joyner did not mention FSU in the list of schools he is considering.

Suit yourself. But with the mentality (and not to mention the physical tools) of a LJ, this is a future captain at Ohio State.

We'd be fine with or without the kid! I would love to have Joyner in S&G but it wouldn't be the end all be all. We have a number of players who can be future captains at tOSU!

I've got the impression over the course of this recruiting year that Joyner has been their number 1 target on defense. If nothing more than a recruiting win for our coaches, Joyner would be a huge prize for these coaches. My gut says we end up on top.

I think Joyner is close to a must get as there is imo, since I'm not so sure an absolute "must get" exists. Sure we will "be fine" but playmakers like Joyner take you from "fine" to "elite." Granted we had an outstanding DB class in '09 (Brown, Clarke, Barnett, Wood) and a solid one in '08 (O. Johnson, Domicone, and notably Howard), the talent is all unproven, minus special teams. I just see Joyner as unique in his skill set and dominance...he could be an instant impact in the return game with Small departing and I truly think he is an immediate threat at wideout. He just can make plays from anywhere you put him and he is such a confident competitor. If we don't get him I won't wallow in self pity but we've put in a ton of time recruiting Joyner, he is a priority and we are in good shape with him...so it would be a tough recruiting loss at this point. Not to mention if we happen to miss on LJ and Shaw, that only leaves Bryant and Anderson, with Anderson's grades being in question.

Shakeups in the updated ESPNU 150
CB Joyner, ATH Elam, DE Miller climb, while RB Lattimore slips from five-star
By JC Shurburtt
Scouts Inc.

The jump of one of the most explosive players in the country into the top 5, the slide of an elite running back, an elite athlete climbing into the top 15 and some jockeying among the defensive line prospects highlight the updated ESPNU 150 rankings.

Star Search

After watching countless game tapes as well as making in-person scouting trips to see many of the nation's top players, Scouts Inc. updated the ESPNU 150 rankings for the Class of 2010. Check out who moved, who slid down, who debuted and if they have committed to a college yet. ESPNU 150
Under Armour All-American and five-star CB Lamarcus Joyner (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Saint Thomas Aquinas) climbed from No. 12 to No. 5 in the latest rankings. Joyner has been the best player on the nation's best team and proved it twice on the big stage, the first during top-ranked Saint Thomas Aquinas' season-opening 52-7 victory against Arlington Heights (Ohio) and then again in a 42-34 win against Byrnes (Duncan, S.C.). Both games were nationally-televised. The opener was on ESPN, while the game against then-No. 2 Byrnes was on ESPNU.

In the Arlington game, Joyner caught a momentum-wiping 31-yard touchdown pass in the first half. Against Byrnes, he had Aquinas' first score, a 52-yarder in the first quarter, and then had another momentum-killing play in the fourth quarter when he returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown after the Rebels had pulled within seven.

"There were some guys on our staff who felt he may be in the top three and he could still end up there," said ESPN Scouts Inc's national recruiting director Tom Luginbill. "As a pure athlete he may be the closest thing to Percy Harvin (Minnesota Vikings) we have seen and could be a legit two-way candidate at the next level."

Rank: No. 5
Most have believed for some time that Joyner is ticketed for Florida State and he has said that some of the coaching issues that came up a few weeks back had no impact on his decision. But, other schools are still coming after him. Ohio State has always been strong. Notre Dame received an official visit. Florida continues to recruit him, too. Still, most believe when all is said and done Joyner will be a Nole.
