Quickie Recruiting Tidbit

Andre Debose, a 4-star (Scout) WR/ATH out of Sanford, FL recently received an offer from Coach Aubrey Hill and looks incredibly impressed by our program. He had been leaning towards South Carolina, but from what he has said following the offer, I would have to say Miami is way out in front for the time being. I would hesitate to call him a lock because we still have 11 months till Signing Day 2009.

Additionally, Robert Marve's former teammate at Plant in Tampa, TE Orson Charles, has Miami out in front. We already have a commitment from Billy Sanders, and have legacy Austin Fitzpatrick high on us as well. It might be a bit too much to sign three tight ends in this class when we only have about 20 scholarships to offer.

I've heard FSU was (and is) Debose's heavy favorite.

Tim, you might still be right on that one. That was indeed what everyone was thinking before a recent interview with Debose.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Bobby Bowden is the best in the business when it comes to landing guys early and fooling other coaches into thinking they have a commitment.
