Interesting Kevin McReynolds Tweet...

[glazeduck]

Saw this a bit earlier today...

"@LifeofKM: Top schools in no order . Oregon , Arkansas , UCLA, Syracuse , Maryland and South Carolina"

The news here, to me, is that Ohio State and Florida were rumored to be our biggest competition (along w/ hometown Maryland), and, from the horses mouth, neither are in his top schools.

SCe I can understand w/ the Ole' Ballcoach there and their recent SEC success, Maryland obviously has the local ties, and I have absolutely no idea what UCLA, Arkansas, and Cuse are doing on his list, but I cannot imagine they have a terribly solid shot at this kid.

We haven't heard much from or about him lately, but it would appear, at least reading between the lines, that we have a terrific shot at landing a stud DT!

[glazeduck]

Also have to like that, even though he says, "in no order", Oregon is the first team that comes out...

[Duck07]

Lord knows we need the help at DT. According to scout he's set to visit UCLA with Lyerla and many others this wknd

tOSU was the favorite early but they filled up at his position and haven't really recruited him since the summer. I don't recall Florida ever really being strongly in the mix for his services. UO, Ark, UCLA, and MD have been there all along. I believe Arkansas may be our strongest competition here although I'm not sure about South Carolina since they're new to his list.

I'd be shocked if McReynolds ended up at Maryland. Ralph Friedgen is a decent coach, but a terrible recruiter. Maryland has had a fairly good year considering that they don't have a lot of talent.

Syracuse being there is a complete mystery.

Arkansas is a solid SEC program. Nothing really stands out about it though. Does he have any ties there?

I would actually think that UCLA may be our biggest threat. Great academic school, very nice campus, excellent weather. Slick Rick is a pretty bad coach, but he's a hell of a recruiter.

From a facilities standpoint, Arkansas is the Oregon of the SEC. They've invested a ton building up that program to be competitive. Also, Petrino is a very good (although somewhat slimy) coach who is about to sign a mega-extension. They may take a step back when Mallett declares for the NFL, but they're an up and coming program in the SEC West.

This must be it. Its the only explaination

[briarduck]

^Nice...that would make sense!

[hines]

i've always thought he'd end up at Arkansas. He's had UO and UCLA in his top 5 for the entire time so that's not a surprise to have those 2 listed. I think he stays on the east coast.

Sweet Geez. Jet Blue flies from PDX to NY, right? That's a reason to make a trip to upstate.

Yeah...i would consider Syracuse if that was the norm at that school

But it probably isn't.

[wlduck]

I saw a tweet from him saying "talking to coach Azz from Oregon" about two days ago.

[karlhungis]

Yeah, I think we have a good shot at KM. Man it would be nice to land him and Shelton.

[nehalem]

How cool would it be to get Ebert, McReynolds, Shelton and Latu. Red shirt 2 and play 2. Season with 2 DE's to taste and I'll sleep soundly.
