Southern recently visited Michigan and came away impressed, he contends he is wide open at this point. Michigan was his favorite school growing up. Michigan State, Ohio State and Kentucky are recruiting him heavily at this time. Distance is not a factor in his recruitment.

Southern will make a decision during his senior season or after. Mentions that Ohio State has been coming on strong and he likes Coach Matta and makes mention of the great recruiting class coming in. Southern recently visited Kentucky on a unofficial visit.

Southern is seriously interested in Tennessee. Playing close to home is not a factor. Southern will make an official visit to Tennessee in the future. He has not narrowed his list at this point.

Ohio State, Wisconsin and Bradley have become to recruit him hard recently. Miami-FL, Michigan, Boston College and Tennessee are very involved at this point. Miami-FL, Tennessee and Boston College will receive official visits, still undecided on the final two visits. Boston College, DePaul, Kentucky, Miami-FL, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio State, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin have all offered.

You would think that Ohio State would rescind their offer to him with the commitment of Madden. They now need a wing player.

I also think they've gotten their 5/4 big guy in the 07 class in Dallas Lauderdale. That and Kyle Madsen probably mean Josh Southern won't continue to be recruited.

Though John Madden would up the profile of the program a bit as well. Do you have football video games on the brain there LitlBuck?

My mistake. I have to use voice activated software because I am a quadriplegic.

So your voice recognition s/w is a football game fan then! Just struck me funny. Then we'll run the pick and roll and BOOM through the hole for 2.

With Lauderdale and Koufos already in fold, I would have to agree that Southern may not be a high priority at this point.

Southern will visit Kentucky. Ohio State has apparently filled their last spot in the 2007 class.
