Be sure to tune in to 790 The Zone tonight at 9PM for The Official Visit.
The ongoing saga of Liberty County (GA) running back Shadrach Thornton has taken another crazy turn. After initially declaring that he would be suiting up for Joke Phillips and Kentucky next year, Thornton continued to visit other schools and many thought that he would end up with Georgia Tech after he came away impressed on his official visit. He also called Vanderbilt a “leader” after taking a visit to Nashville with some fellow prospects. Thornton instead raised eyebrows after declaring he was headed to NC State over the weekend. Now it appears as though Tech will move on to Miles Jones of Allatoona (GA) to be the second back in its class.
With Joe Paterno out at Penn State, people will begin to speculate on possible replacements and two names have immediately popped out: Urban Meyer and Al Golden. Meyer has roots to the that area though most believe he’d rather take the Ohio State position. Meanwhile Miami’s Golden played at Penn State and has previously coached at Temple. Should Golden go to his alma mater, it would be interesting to see how many of Miami’s 26 prospects follow him or decide to look elsewhere. Raphael Kirby of Stone Mountain, Georgia, may defect as UGA is coming hard after him. One member of the Miami class to watch is Jake O’Donnell from Doylestown, PA. Should Golden go to Penn State, O’Donnell, a defensive end may want to stay close to home.
Jordan Batiste, a cornerback from Luther (LA) , has decided that he will stick with Ole Miss despite Houston Nutt announcing that he will resign at the end of the year. Batiste told Scout.com that he saw the move coming. The 5-9, 170-pound corner is the No. 80 cornerback in the country according to Scout.com and he has been listed as a three-star prospect. He has offers from Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Southern Miss and Pittsburgh.
