EZ-E Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Really don't think we're going to get him. If we're going to get a top-flight DE this class it'll be Owa or no-one. But Owa is Oregon's to lose. Quote Link to comment

SECHusker Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Posted by Greg Biggins Recruiting is always a fluid situation. What a player thinks one day can be dramatically different the next. That describes perfectly the recruitment of Ronald Powell (Moreno Valley, Calif./Rancho Verde) who was all set on Florida just a week ago and is now once again wrestling with what to do. As we mentioned here last week, Powell has been a huge Florida lean for the last several months. USC was also under consideration but the standout rush end fell in love with the Gators after a pair of unofficial visits and has been trying to make a public announcement for the last two weeks. The big news this past weekend was obviously Gator coach Urban Meyer stepping down at Florida and then deciding a day later that it would be a leave of absence rather than a resignation. The whole situation has clouded things greatly for Powell. "He's pretty freaked out right now," RV coach Pete Duffy said. "He has been set on Florida for so long and now with the news over the weekend, he's ready to re-open his recruitment. He loved Florida for a lot of reasons but playing for Coach Meyer was probably at the top of the list. "He's now talking about USC a lot and wanting to take a visit to Miami. I talked to coach [brian] White at Florida, who I've know forever, and he assured me that coach Meyer will be there and I believe him. Ronald is thinking this could be about trying to save the recruiting class so he's really have some second thoughts. "He wants to sit down and talk with Coach Meyer man to man and see what's up and I think that's a good idea. I don't think Coach Meyer is going to lie the kid and Ronald is a really smart kid and he would be able to see through that. I'm supposed to talk to Ronald later today and see where his head is at because there is still a chance he could announce this week but as of right now, he's planning to wait it out and take some visits before doing anything." As I said, recruiting is fluid and after coach Duffy talks with Powell today, the situation could be different again but as of right now, the lineman plans to take some January visits before pulling the trigger.

SECHusker Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 According to his High School coach, Powell looks to be a Gator!! The on again, off again commitment status of Ronald Powell (Moreno Valley, Calif./Rancho Verde) appears back on and the standout defensive end will make his college choice this weekend during the Army All-American Bowl. Powell's recruitment was smooth sailing for most of the year. He narrowed his choices to two early on, Florida and USC, and eventually the Gators began to pull away a few months ago. The rush end has been on the verge of making a commitment to the Gators for the last month until a decision by Gators coach Urban Meyer threw a wrench in his plans. When Meyer announced he was resigning and then a day later, said he was taking a leave of absence, it caused much doubt for Powell. He planned to re-open his recruitment and take official visits to USC and possibly Miami as well before making a final decision. "He's ready to do it," Rancho Verde coach Pete Duffy said. "We just talked yesterday and I think he's comfortable with the situation at Florida now. I know he had a chance to talk to some of the coaches and some of the other players going to Florida and I think he's now comfortable and ready to get this whole thing behind him and out of the way."
