Anyone else extremely nervous? I don't think I'll be able to sleep till Saturday night when I find out where this kid is going. When a guy like this already gets comparisons to Suh, he's going to be something special. Would really hope we can get him...

Haha, didn't realize this was my first post. It says I've been here since January of '08. Guess it's been a while...I am just amazed watching this guy play, and I follow recruiting a bit too closely. These rumors are keeping me nervous. He's tearing up the AAA practices and it just makes him seem like such a rare prospect. He could start as a freshman with ease.

Was it him that said he was planning to surprise people with his decision or some reporter?

Coveted DT recruit Floyd narrows list to four schools

NEW YORK (SI.com) -- Consensus top-10 football recruit Sharrif Floyd has narrowed his college choice to four schools: Ohio State, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Floyd, who is currently in San Antonio for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, will make his decision live during the national broadcast of the game. A source close to Floyd says that the star defensive tackle will have the four schools represented by hats on a table when he makes his decision on Saturday.

Over the past two months, Floyd has whittled his list down from about 10 schools, eliminating programs such as Boston College, Cincinnati, Penn State, Rutgers and USC.

Floyd originally made his mark at the U.S. Army National Combine this time last year. In the spring, he was named the MVP of the TEST Sports Clubs Premier Showcase, the deepest collection of combine talent in the mid-Atlantic region. He followed up that performance the next day by winning the Maxwell Award at the invite-only Football University outside Philadelphia. Since then, he has elevated his status to a consensus top-10 recruit nationally.

Floyd, who dominated the Aloha Prep Bowl before heading to San Antonio for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, has recently been rumored to be an Ohio State lean. The player has taken three official visits this year to Florida, USC and Ohio State. The source close to Floyd said that the player is not willing to tip which hat he will put on come Saturday's all-star game.​

I think you can certainly tell something about a prospect by watching an all-star game, you just have to watch more closely. You can't get excited just because a kid got a couple sacks or a couple picks, you have to put them into context. For example, the MVP of that game, Raeshon McNeil, got a couple picks and some nice KR returns. Stats say he's pretty good, but if you watched closely, you'd seen that he was beat soundly for all his picks but QBs underthrew the WR. And in one KR where he broke free due to busted coverage, he was straight up run down from behind by the kicker. He won the MVP by a landslide and got a huge boost in recruiting rankings, even though he played horribly in all areas except being opportunistic in that game.

Don't take this the wrong way, but Robert Rose dominated the AAA game too and didn't dominate during his college career. Just something to keep in mind so people don't get too down if things go poorly. That and every year has the next "great one"...

Both shoulders needing surgery had quite a bit to do with that IMO.

But back to Floyd. If that final 4 is accurate and his decision will indeed "shock" then it is a Carolina. :wink:

East notebook: Intensity picks up
Adam Munsterteiger

East defensive line coach Otis Yelverton has tutored top defensive ends like Kevion Latham, who is at Penn State, and four-star defensive end Gabe King - who is set to announce at this Saturday's game.

But Yelverton is particularly excited about the group he has to work with in San Antonio this week, namely the defensive tackles.

Sharrif Floyd, the nation's top-ranked defensive tackle prospect, has impressed Yelverton both with his talent and his ability to overcome the odds.

"Sharrif Floyd is a very special young man," Yelverton explained. "Even when he tells you his story about his life, it's real touching that a kid is that focused and has that adversity which he's had in his life. You see other kid's take it for granted, what the Lord has given them - and not appreciate it like a kid who's gone through the things he's gone through.
"Some of the things he's shared with me, I'm very impressed with the young man. Whoever gets him, they're getting an outstanding young man."
