schuhbdoo Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Rivals #3 overall prospect committed to Florida today according to Bruce Feldman's Twitter. Someone created a fake yahoo email that looked like Wilders name. It would be like someone hear getting all crazy and reporting OWA was officially N because they got an email that is from: owa23@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment
Spartness Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I believe this is the same name of the Missouri RB who ran through Nebraska in 1978. Missouri won that game in Lincoln 35-31, the week after an Osborne team finally defeated a Switzer team 17-14. Is this kid his son? Quote Link to comment

EZ-E Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Why dont you ask James Wilder how good Tyler Moore is? Quote Link to comment
Spartness Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 All I know is his dad ruin our season in 1978. I was so sky high after that OU victory, and we were one win away from playing for the NC in the bowl game. To make matters worse, I was going to Columbia College in Columbia, MO and took a lot of grief after his dad tore us apart that day. Insult to injury, we had to play OU again in the Orange Bowl. Of course we lost that game 31-24. Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 James was on Nike's 7 On 7 tourney that showed recently on ESPNU. I was kinda spacey when watching it, therefore didn't really scout Wilder at all. Didn't even make any plays that I saw. Anyway, all anyone needs to know when it comes to Florida is that Tyler Moore>James Wilder, Jr. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Nation's No. 1 recruit Wilder Jr. picks Florida State Plant (Fla.) star running back and linebacker picks Florida State over Georgia and Florida. Wednesday, August 18, 2010 By: Rod Gipson TAMPA, Fla. - The nation's No. 1 football recruit from the Class of 2011 has picked Florida State. James Wilder Jr., a senior running back, linebacker and defensive end from Plant (Tampa, Fla.), had more than 80 Division I offers but narrowed his final choices to Florida, Florida State and Georgia. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound standout made his announcement at Plant in front of a large throng of media and into six microphones. He didn't use any caps for drama. According to MaxPreps/CBS College Sports recruiting expert Tom Lemming, Wilder, the son of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' all-time leading rusher by the same name, could have an All-American career waiting for him on defense, though schools have told him he can be a difference maker at running back. He rushed for 1,004 yards and 15 touchdowns last season, leading Plant to a Class 5A state title. He also added 136 tackles and 19 sacks. Wilder is the third big-name recruit from Plant to commit to a major Division I school this month. Quarterback Phillip Ely chose Alabama and offensive tackle Tony Posada picked Michigan. The verbal commitments come after lengthy recruiting processes for all the athletes. Ely (19-0 as a starter for Plant and the owner of two state championships) and Posada (a dominating 6-foot-5, 320-pound tackle) were key players for a Plant team is set to start a quest for a third straight state championship. Wilder was attracted to Georgia partially because two other high-profile Plant players are already in the Bulldogs' camp. Redshirt freshman quarterback Aaron Murray and sophomore tight end Orson Charles actively helped recruit Wilder. http://www.maxpreps.com/news/ze3-QasAEd-YiQAcxJSkrA/nations-no-1-recruit-wilder-jr-picks-florida-state.htm Quote Link to comment

They now have another great, dynamic player with which to underachieve and not even reach the status of the Big Boy in the rather weak ACC. Quote Link to comment
UGAHusker Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 All anyone talked about on local radio today was about how he was coming to Georgia....D*MN!!! Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Well, good for Florida State. They now have another great, dynamic player with which to underachieve and not even reach the status of the Big Boy in the rather weak ACC. I look at it as another quality recruit that brings Florida State back to prominence. Why do we ditch a team for getting a 5 star recruit? Sometimes Husker fans puzzle me. I know, I see the "humor" of it. SheepdogMark Quote Link to comment
