Josh Parris TE, Stephenson HS, Stone Mountain (Ga.)

I told you that USF wanted him to play as fullback because of Sean Price

[Bull Dozer]

Apparently Parris is waffling on his commit after recent visits including Ole Miss last week.

Are you sure it's not the other way around?

[Rocky77]

I put Full back but it blocked it for some reason. I think he will still come here as a full back if we promise him playing time. And what about Rico Williams when is he going to commit.

I put Full back but it blocked it for some reason.

That's the board's sensitive filtering mechanism ... which you can turn off if you want to.

Story.

When the staff finally got around to seeing him, he checked in around 6'1" vs the 6'3" he was listed as so he's not the ideal size they are looking for in a TE so they backed off as well. They are not going to take a FB this earlier given the limited schollies.

Greg also has a story.

The story just gets curiouser and curiouser. I have a strong hunch that this story involves more than just Josh and I think I know how.

Looks like Josh found a home. Hope we are still ok with Stephenson HS.

Tight end from Georgia gives Syracuse University football verbal commitment

Nolan Weidner

Syracuse, NY -- The Syracuse University football team picked up its fourth verbal commitment for the recruiting class of 2012 today when tight end Joshua Parris told coaches he would like to wear Orange.

Parris is a 6-foot-3, 230-pound player from Stephenson High School in Stone Mountain, Ga. According to a story in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Parris originally committed to South Florida, but backed off of that several weeks ago over a misunderstanding about what position he would play. Parris wants to be a tight end in college.

According to the Rivals.com recruiting web site, Parris chose SU over offers from other schools as well, including Mississippi, Boston College, Vanderbilt, Southern Mississippi and Virginia.

Parris joins linebacker Myles Davis of Pittsburgh, offensive lineman Omari Palmer of Long Island and defensive lineman Ben Barrett of Manlius (CBA) as those who've pledged to sign letters of intent with the Orange next February.
