From what I hear, the longer he waits to commit, the better shot we have. Still not a great shot, but it certainly helps improve our chances.

When is he expected to commit? Another 10+ win season, win over scUM, and BCS bowl win wouldn't hurt our chances.

And from what he says about Deonte, it sounds like he's a Miami lock that just wants all the attention and pub that comes from waiting to commit.

4. Deonte Thompson, WR, 6-0, 185, Belle Glade (Glades Central)
The ideal wide receiver prospect with size and incredible speed, Thompson had a tremendous spring which was capped off by a strong spring game. He's been on the national recruiting radar ever since he ran a 4.28 at the Scout.com All-American Combine in Jacksonville before his junior season and now he's emerged as the state's No. 1 wide receiver prospect.

By Mike Wachsman...Deonte says everyone is still even. He talks with Coach Hazell.

I still like to think that we have some chance until he commits elsewhere, as others have said.

Even coming from a BSB reporter, it did not sound very positive....
