He said he and his mom are thrilled with the chance to be closer to home so that his family can come see him play. Combs played at Memphis Hamilton High. I don't know if Justin has offered him, but if he wants to be close to his family, I would hope that the feeling is mutual.

K2, He just took an unofficial visit here over the weekend and we are one of his favorites it seems. He has over 12 offers now. Let's see if we can nab him!!! I think we can sell what Poe is doing to some of these DL...

Love the recruiting board on here probably more than any other. Thanks for the info.

Here is some good info on who has offered a bunch of these local kids.

Just came across this.

Arkansas’ focus on academics separated them from other schools, according to defensive end Frank Herron, who visited Fayetteville on Feb. 24.

Combs committed to the Rebels over the weekend, disappointing, but I really feel like we will have a good class this year. Fuente is recruiting from coast-to-coast and even in other countries lol.

With the crooks controlling the Memphis prep sports and dictating their prized recruits destination (SEC), it does not surprise me one bit that we missed on another local kid.

Unless JF turns things around this year and has a good year. I feel a number of people will be disappointed to find that it isn't the BCS name that attracted the local blue chippers but the SEC name.

Winning some games will be key to having a good to great class. There are multiple kids that will be very interested to see how Fuente does his first season.

Frank Herron will be deciding at the end of this month, final 5 is Memphis, Tennessee, Mississippi st., Clemson, and LSU. Would be huge if we can land him. I like our chances as much as any school on his list.

Would be a pretty massive get

I'll go ahead and call it now, we'll get Frank IMHO.

I get that feeling as well.

I'm not geting the feeling we'll land many more Memphis kids. The East boys are being pursued heavily by Coach Harris at Ole Miss and he's had great sucess in the city, given his Memphis ties. Wilkins is definitely not going to happen, so I'm not sure who all that leaves.

It's times like these when I really miss calsucks....

I also posted on roar that if it wasn't Memphis, I think it will be LSU, but I feel we're in there pretty strong.

I'd be pretty surprised if he chose State. I think it'll be Memphis or LSU as well, cbhstiger.

Is Herron announcing today?
