In 16 years of coaching high school football, East Lake coach Bob Hudson had never needed to step in and harness the competitive nature of a player.
But then he starting coaching 2014 wide receiver target Artavis Scott (Tarpon Springs, Fla./East Lake) and he had to do just that.
“He is by far the most competitive kid I have ever coached,” Hudson said. “He does not want to lose, period -- I don’t care if it’s on one play, I don’t care if it’s a game of Monopoly, I don’t care if it’s Madden on XBOX. He might be similar in skill to another kid but he’s not going to allow himself to lose to that kid.”
have to wonder if Hand not visiting is a bad thing
Hand can still go to next years FNL or rescedule his visit. It will be interesting to see how this goes.
Per Bucknuts thread, Robert Foster does not have tOSU in his top 5. Bummer. Hope it's not true.

Derek's been on that for awhile, hopefully we can land quick and or gibson.

2 things:
1.) Will be interesting to see if LSU offering Treadwell now will have him second guessing about going Blue. LSU fans were hitting him HARD on twitter after the offer was announced. And UM fans were actually tweeting stuff to him like LSU<UM & Miles<Hoke . I'm not sure if UM fans were paying attention, but LSU has won 2 titles and played for a 3rd since the last time UM did.
2.) I didn't see Hargreaves leaving the state of Florida, but it will be interesting to see if he cuts off his recruitment or if he still takes officials after this commitment to UF.
@ Tenn - he (VH) committed? Thought he had just gone there for their FNL..

Yes. According to ESPN, he is going to be @ Gridiron Kings and can't go to their FNL but went ahead and committed, announcing on twitter.

I would take the post on Rob Foster with a grain of salt. Michigan State doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Last I knew, he had ZERO interest in MSU. He's not going to Bama either. I always believed it to be between OSU and Pitt.
I don't believe that it's accurate IMO. I will wait for confirmation of that from a reliable source.
Lsu took this long to offer Treadwell lol?

Well that sucks - I really hate seeing UF getting him...anywhere but there. Oh well..

I just read the Foster article on Bama's 24/7 site. Foster: "Basically it’s, Pitt, Oregon, USC, Michigan State, and Alabama, obviously."
LSU offered Pocic late and still got him.
I think Treadwell's decision is gonna come down to this: Does he want to play for a guy who eats grass, or does he want to play for a guy who eats everything in sight? Its a tough choice.
Why are we showing interest in a 2013 running back if we just told the best 2013 running back he's off of our list?
Gordon Gee's signature is on my diploma. I'm proud of that. Class of 2008
I still don't buy that article, how does Foster going to having zero interest in MSU to being in his top 5, I think he's playing the recruiting game as well. He usually likes to keep quiet.
@Scott
Maybe walk-on? Or being recruited for a different position. Kerry Coombs is recruiting him if that answers any questions.
NOTE: Kerry is from Colerain so maybe he see's something in this kid
Scott- I'm not sure either why we would pass on Green and be looking at another RB. Doesn't make sense. All I know about the kid we're supposedly looking at from Colerain, Chris Davis, is that he's kinda under the radar cause he was hurt early on in his junior season. Probably why he doesn't have offers right now.
@Tenn
Davis has offers from Cincy, Eastern Illinois & Minnesota
Foster is Pitt bound regardless IMO but the top 5 doesn't pan out, I want an explanation on MSU lol
Gene - Yeah I just saw that over on Rivals. I was looking at the 247 link you had up above and it listed "interested' schools but no offers.
Added two more $ links and a couple more bullets
Sometimes OSU shows "interest" in a prospect from an Ohio school to get a better relationship with its coaching staff.
Colerain is certainly a school to want to be friendly with.
BTW: Gene, thanks for doing these Quick Bits every day man. Reading them helps me stay informed. You're awesome brother.
Last update involving a bullet and that should be all for today. See ya guys tomorrow for FNL. Should be a busy day for Ohio State.
Seen Robert Foster today at the 7 on 7 here in Hoover. He wasn't impressive at all!
haha maybe Foster meant Ohio State instead of Michigan State?... clearly isnt one of the sharpest tools in the shed so its possible I guess... either way,
@Tenn
Michigan fans aren't really too concerned about LSU. More concerned about OKL or OK ST. and worried about Clemson if he visits. Seems like Clemson has this great recruiter who has lot's of friends. I think his name is Ben Franklin. I'm really hoping he commits at the BBQ and puts an end to all the speculating.
Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

Hail - Yeah I still think Treadwell goes Blue, but you gotta think an LSU offer is pretty intriguing for him. If I were him I would want to explore all my options before making a decision, especially since its pretty clear UM is holding a spot for him.
