Another school, however, has recently offered and has managed to squeeze in a visit on Jan. 16: The nearby University of South Florida. While on his early list, West Virginia has dropped off.
“They were really never on my top list,” he commented. “They had just offered so I was looking at them.”
He said Tennessee, USF -- who have both offered schalrships -- along with Florida, Florida State, and Michigan make up his top five. He plans to wait until January to make a decision.
