We landed another verbal (maybe)

[Mama_Bull]

According to Scout.

LB - Tyrone Williams / Thomasville (Ga.) / 6-0, 200

He's on the ESPN 150 watch list and was named to the Atlanta All-Nike Combine Team which took place in March.

From Scout:

From Rivals:

The Latest: Two-way GA standout likes three  5/16/2008

At 6-foot-1 210 pounds, Tyrone Williams has good size whether you see him as a linebacker or a running back. Many schools are seeing the Thomasville, Ga. standout as both and so does his high school coach.

12:10 edit:

Scout removed his name as a commit and now lists him with a USF offer.

This is how their commit list looked earlier this morning when I first posted:

Not a lot about him, but I think Leavitt has an eye for under-recruited linebackers.

We're the only big school to offer (ole miss isn't listed)

I'm ok with it

They are listed as having offered him on bulldogsprospects.com at the link I provided. That looks to be an official site for his HS coach, so he probably knows what he's talking about.

Anyway, he's the THIRD USF verbal to be on the ESPN 150 watchlist.

Don't want to take away from anyone's excitement, but

(a) I haven't seen him reported as a commitment anywhere but on his bio page

and

( as far as that ESPN 150 Watch List, there are 1,400 kids on the list. It's a lot to watch. So only the best 11 percent or so of the kids on the watch list will actually make the top 150 ...

we need 4 star lb's

this kid is no stars

[Bull Martin]

this kid is no stars

1 or no stars could mean the kid hasn't been evaluated yet.

Are you saying you'd rather have a 5 star bust than a 2star all american?

We should probably get rid of selvie as he was a 2star (maybe 3) center...

Sorry, mama.

I wasn't calling you out. I the just looked on the scout page.

I have no doubt in my mind of the factual value of any of your posts.  You are often times very informative.

Don't want to take away from anyone's excitement, but

(a) I haven't seen him reported as a commitment anywhere but on his bio page

and

It says he committed on the scout site, but they jump the gun sometimes.

As for the top 150, It doesn't matter as much to me.  The coachign staff has shown good judgment in the past.

[BleacherBull]

Same hs/hometown as D. Bogan?  Maybe they know each other.  It's not a big place, but they do have a Whataburger . . .

[Mama_Bull]

Scout just removed him as a USF verbal.

He's listed now as having an offer from USF.

You can always give him a call. Here are his telephone numbers:

Tyrone Williams

I wouldn't post recruits info on the boards.  Someone might actually call him.  It could be a potential recruiting violation.
