North County LB Will Compton has been through a crazy recruitment having gone through the process and made a decision only to have it re-opened because of the coaching situation and eventual change at Nebraska, where he thought he would be spending the next four years of his life for sure earlier this year. So you can`t blame him for taking things slow and taking his time to make his final decision, exploring all of his options before signing on the dotted line in February.
" I am making an official visit to Iowa this weekend." said Compton. "They (Iowa) have been recruiting me a long time, and with having this weekend open after thinking i`d be visiting Nebraska, I decided i`d make the trip and give them a look."
In regards to Nebraska, are they still in the picture?
"Coach Osborne came in to visit me and it was crazy meeting a coaching legend face to face. It was really cool.Coach Pelini is coming to visit me Thursday the 6th for the first time. I told Coach Osborne that i`d probably visit sometime in Janurary if I visit." said Compton.
The teams who seem most likely to battle it out for Compton`s services at the moment appear to be the Illini and Mizzou. Compton visited Illinois a few weeks ago and will visit Mizzou on the 14th of December.
" I really enjoy Coach Zook and the Illini staff. My visit there was great and I hear from just about every Illini coach and a bunch of Illini players call and text me all the time. I`ve talked to all the Illini coaches on the phone and they all are recruiting me. Coach Zook calls my parents and has really tried to develop a relationship with them, so they might have a little edge at the moment."
"Mizzou is right there too although I really only hear from Coach Steck from Missouri. I am looking forward to my visit and the chance to get to know Coach Pinkel. I think how my relationship with Coach Pinkel develops will go a long way in my decision process. One of my best friends goes to Mizzou and I hear all the time from everyone that I should go to Mizzou. I just want to make sure that I feel comfortable where I go and that I connect with the Head Coach."
On talking to other recruits about their decisions and if it will influence where he might go?
" I talk to Josh Williams and I just talked to DJ Woods. We were talking about Missouri and I told him that he should go to Mizzou because their offense would be perfect for him. DJ told me that is why he is visiting Mizzou, because of the offense and who he`d get to play with. Josh and I talk about going to the same school together. He may make an unnoffical back to Nebraska around the same time if I make an official there in Jan. I use to talk to Blaine Gabbert a lot, but we haven`t talked really in a while.Last time I talked to him was asking him when he`d take his official to Mizzou." said Compton.
Will says that he`ll make his decision sometime around Christmas or early Janurary depending on when it feels right.
