From the Florida site...Papa Haden talks about his two sons' athletic talents. The youngest Haden favors Florida, Boston College and Michigan.

You want proof all sites spin things to some degree? Every update for the last month has mentioned his top 3 are Florida, Boston College and Michigan...except for the update he did with BG where he mentions the same three schools + OSU.

From the UNC site...favorites are UNC, Florida, Boston College and Michigan.

More proof every site spins things...there are three schools consistently in this top 3 and usually the fourth school is whoever is conducting the interview.

Would you say we're more interested in Haden or McGuffie?

[wadc45]

Not much of either right now...but I think the fact that Josh had an early offer and Sam doesn't says something. Now that JB is on board, that all could change...you could very well see Josh's offer get sent to Sam. Remember: recruiting is fluid. In the end, and I've said this before, the buddy system accounts for almost zilch when it comes to recruiting.

From the BC site...has dropped Michigan and is down to BC and Florida.

From the BC site (still a complete joke)...all about his visit to BC last weekend.

They are close to begging Josh to say that BC is his leader...which he does not. I will still be shocked if he ends up anywhere other than UF.

[The Man]

someone owes the BC site an apology....

Scout$

committed to BC

[wadc45]

Doesn't change the fact all their updates are solely about a recruit's interest in BC...nothing else.

Good luck to Josh at BC...

What a shocker...str8 outta left field. Wad, I thought he'd be a Gator as well.

I think in a year of 20+schollies, tOSU staff would have made a hard effort to get Josh (similar to the effort they exhibited on his bro).

IMHO, Joe was more versatile in the number of positions that he played than his brother. Josh is an RB by trade, Joe is a jack of all trades - an ATH in the true sense of the word.

Oh yeah...props to BC. Nice pickup for the Eagles in Year 1 post-Obrien-regime.

[The Man]

no doubt it was a shocker, must not have wanted to be in his big bro's shadow at UF.
