As Lakeland makes the three-and-a-half hour road trip to Jacksonville this morning to play First Coast in a Class 7A state semifinal game, the Dreadnaughts will have one thing on their minds: the state finals.

For wide receiver Ricquan Southward, there's a bit of additional motivation to make it to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando for the title game: His mother, Kathy Howard, will be able to watch.

Howard has watched her son play in every game since he started competing in 1999.

She won't make it to Jacksonville because she can't drive that far. Two years ago, she got into a major car accident that left her car totaled and her ankle in really bad shape.

"It wasn't that serious," Southward said. "But the car was done and she had to have surgery on her ankle twice so she doesn't drive much as it is. But this is the first game she'll be missing. If we make it to states, she'll be able to get to Orlando. So we need to win this one."

Well if he was a complete tool (see: Hoke), he'd pull his schollie for looking elsewhere. Another reason why I am so happy not to be a UM fan... :roll2:

As has been said by much smarter and better informed posters than me, we need to stop with all this holier than thou stuff. Ricquan needs to make the best decision for him, but I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see his spot get filled by someone else if he does indeed decide to visit UF.

Yeah, anybody thinking that is not common practice is fooling themselves.

That said, given the timing of Ricquan's commitment and the current momentum here, this might not be the best decision if he's serious about ending up in C-bus...

No joke...we are pretty full at WR in this class and I like Southward, but he isn't the type we are going to beg to stay. If he stays, great...if not, I wouldn't complain if it opened a spot for Caleb at WR.

Didnt tressel not mind for kids to take other visits after they committed? Why does it matter now? I'm all for him getting a free visit to a nice school in his home state, just to reaffirm his allegiance to the buckeyes. With or recent momentum I honestly don't see him switching. IMO, these kids see that urban is creating something special and want to be involved

Tressel actually insisted that his commits go ahead and take their other officials if they could. But, Tressel isn't the coach now...wow, that hurt just to type that.
