Georgia four-star DL: "I could commit any day"

THE LATEST: Who will land Rivals 250 defensive lineman Curtis Fann? Whoever does may not have to wait too much longer to put him on their commitment list.

Fann recently visited Auburn and he has commitment on his mind.

The 6-foot-3, 260 pound defensive lineman out of Twin City (Ga.) Emanuel County Institute is down to Auburn, Clemson, Georgia and South Carolina.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: "I have thought about committing, but I am not quite ready yet," said Fann. "I do not think it will be any later than the summer, but it could happen tomorrow or really, just any day when I feel I am ready."

LISTENING TO MOM: "My mom is helping me out with the process. We talk about this and she listens to me. She wants to be comfortable with my decision, so she has visited each school on my list and talked with the coaches. She does not have a favorite or anything, but she always asked questions to the coaches and just wants to feel comfortable when I head off to college."

AUBURN: "I have visited Auburn three times now and I have pretty much seen everything. I have a good relationship with the coaches and coach Steele is the coach I talked to the most. He feels I fit into his defense well and I like him. I like the atmosphere and the history that coach Garner has with defensive linemen."

CLEMSON: "I've visited Clemson two times and I like the environment there a lot. The coaches make it like a family when I am there. They really care about the players and everything is not just about football. That has always stood out to me."

GEORGIA: "This is my home-state school, so I will always like Georgia. They won a lot this season and I like the coaching staff. I grew up a fan of Georgia, so they will always be up there for me."

SOUTH CAROLINA: "South Carolina makes me feel comfortable when I am up there. Coach Will Muschamp always has a great defense and coach T-Rob (Travaris Robinson) is a coach I really like. I like like the feeling when I am there."

MAKING THE DECISION: "Sometimes in the recruiting process, some players tend to go with the school they like the most, but I want to play for the one who really wants me and needs me. Who is recruiting me the hardest means a lot to me. All the schools are recruiting me about the same right now. Maybe Auburn and South Carolina a little harder, but it is close."

ONE DECISION AND DONE: "I do not want to be one that commits, then decommits and all that. I have been close, very close to picking up the phone and calling a coach to commit, but I have to make sure I am 100-percent first. I want to be loyal to the school I commit to."

RIVALS REACTION: Like Fann said himself, he could commit ay any time. He has been very close on more than one occasion to committing to a school. Some think it was to different schools too. He has strong relationships with multiple staffs, so visits will be something to watch closely if he decides to take anymore before he commits.
