Sledge Tells USC Not To Worry
By Phil Kornblut
WR Eric Sledge (6-4 195) of Apopka, FL committed to USC last Sunday but left open the possibility for more visits. So it's not surprising he scheduled trips for this weekend to Florida and for the 28th to NC State. However, Sledge says those trips haven't dampened his feelings for USC. "The commitment is probably stronger now than it was," Sledge said Thursday night. "I've talked to them more personally this week. I talked to Steve Spurrier Junior tonight around 8:00 PM. I know South Carolina is going to win. They are putting themselves in position to be number one. We've got a great recruiting class coming in. I feel like I can come right in and start." Sledge says Gamecock fans shouldn't make too much out of his other visits. "I just want to see new things," he said. "I told the coaches I'm still with Carolina. I've definitely been a Gator fan but it was coach Spurrier running those teams. But they haven't been the same since Spurrier left. I turned into a Miami fan. I have a cousin at Miami, so I'm a Miami fan." Good thing for USC, Sledge isn't considering the Hurricanes.

I guess you just never know, do you? Just think how tough it must be for a college coach to fill a recruiting class accurately while accounting for all this goofy commit/decommit/recommit business.

Generally I hate to see kids back off on 'commitments', but this kid is thumbing his nose at Spurrier so he can go play for Florida.
I can't stop smiling at that one.

Sledge had a connection with Urban during his visit. He says he is done taking visits. He checks in around 6-3 193 right now and will probably start his career at WR, although he could also play safety.

Its even harder for us, trying to follow these kids every move. Congrats to Eric and I am sure he will have success in Florida.

It must be hard!
Getting pulled one way to another by different schools who all want you. Getting phone calls at 1:44 in the morning. Coaches visiting all the time. Calls from coaches.....you know the deal! Gotta be hard!
