When will Sledge pull the trigger

Apopka, Fla., athlete Eric Sledge is one of the most versatile players in the entire Southeast. This weekend he took an official visit to Louisville and he came back giving the visit high marks. High enough to commit?
"I had a great time on my visit up there," Sledge said. "They were good people and it was a good environment. They had some of the best facilities that I have seen and I've been several places. I was really kind of surprised at how good their facilities were. They were high on my list before the trip, but now they are probably my leader."

Sledge, who is 6-foot-2.5 and weighs 188 pounds, runs the 40-yard dash in 4.59 seconds.
"I am going to visit South Carolina next weekend and after that I may be ready to make a decision," Sledge said. "I am pretty much down to those two right now, but Ohio State may sneak in there too. When I get back next weekend I am going to sit down and talk with my family and if I don't know 100-percent that I want to commit to Louisville or South Carolina then I will schedule an official visit to Ohio State."
As a junior Sledge mad 75 tackles, forced one fumble and intercepted two passes. He is being recruited to play both safety and wide receiver on the college level.
"All the schools remaining on my list are recruiting me as an athlete," Sledge said. "They said I could get a look at wide receiver, rover, linebaker or safety, we'd just have to see when I got there."
