Su'a Cravens official visits...

He just tweeted his officials include Michigan, Nebraska and Ohio.

Said there may be more to decide upon.

Based on his initial list...pretty evident he's very interested in B1G football.

EDIT: he said he has TWO more to decide on.

I really, really, really hope this kid doesn't land in Cbus. He looks like an absolute freak....I don't want to play against.

If he does it's because he isn't bright enough to get into a real school. You can have all of the physical abilities but if you can't find your way out of a brown paper bag it doesn't do much good.

Kid must want to get away from home.

Hopefully he doesn't like tattoos and cars.

i had the impression that he wanted to stay here in so cal but I guess not.

It does sound like he's interested in B1G football.

I figured the same thing. I'll be surprised if one of those last two isn't USC.

yep USC is what I've heard but his visit list including UM, Neb and OSU shocks me somewhat. We'll have to wait to see how it plays out.

If he doesn't end up in A2, I'd be more than happy to see him stay in So Cal haha.

I will be sure to get up to Murrieta to watch him play a game. And like when I went to watch Tate and Magnuson I will be sure to bring my Block M flag.

That's awesome. Want to do the same thing this fall when I go check out Treadwell on the south side of Chicago. Hopefully at that time he's either a) committed or b) not committed anywhere else.

Obviously, if he's committed elsewhere, I won't waste the ($4.30/gallon) gas.

It's kind of fun to do and the players on the field definitely take notice and so do the fans. The key is to remember that you can't say a word to the recruits. Any contact, even saying "great game" can be a recruiting violation if the NCAA wants it to be. You basically have to be that weird fan all by himself at the wrong game. I usually drag my wife with me though and basically she's always less than impressed.

The nice thing is that you get to see a kid live in action. Dont' get me wrong, youtube and video highlights are great but it's always nice to hear the hitting of helmets or watching a kid pull away down the sideline in person.

Remember Tate in September of his Freshman year at UM. His play was so fun to watch, the dude was full on magical and he was like that in high school too. It was fun to see him in that environment and I remember telling myself he was going to be fun to watch at UM. Too bad he turned out to be an immature head case.

Rich Clod will do that to you...

Have you seen Tate's brothers. Doubt Rich Rod was the root cause of Tate's problems. He was more or less probably just an enabler.

Fully agree, Sandy. Obviously Poppa Forcier is a headcase, of sorts, as well, considering he'd entrust his
son's (or sons'...don't know if same applied to Chris) future(s) to one MARV MARINOVICH...the Father from
Hell.

(No need to preface that phrase with "Sports" or "Football"...)

His family is an definite factor but you saw how much Rich Clod loved Tate in 2009, but then in 2010 treated him like a Red-headed step-child. Of course everything can't be blamed on the guy but as eggo said, Rich Clod was an enabler...
