From ESPN:

Under Armour All-American William Gholston names his favorites
ESPNU 150 Watch List defensive end William Gholston listed his top schools for affiliate Web site CrimsonConfidential.com.

"I've known them for a long time, but this is the first time I'm telling somebody. Michigan State, Ohio State, USC, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Miami-FL, Michigan and Oklahoma."

He added, "Most of my top schools are out of state. That's not a big deal to me, though. It's all about liking the coaches and feeling comfortable with the school and coaches."

Several other programs including Illinois, Iowa, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Oregon, Florida State, Wisconsin, Purdue, LSU and Clemson.

Last fall, he registered 108 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, 16 sacks, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

If that's a direct quote, you gotta like him mentioning MSU first

The statement that favors MSU more is this quote...."It's all about liking the coaches and feeling comfortable with the school and coaches." ....no way does that sound like UM

I wouldn't be surprised at all if that roughly follows his order of preference. He's said elsewhere that he has a Top 5. If you told me WIll Gholston's top 5 was MSU, OSU, USC, Tenn, and Alabama in that order, I would 100% believe you.

and to win that battle vs. those teams would be a big deal. I think MD gets this done.

New article on scout.

How a recruit has to be asked about his tuxedo choice is beyond me.

[dimambr3]

can anyone give the basic idea of the article??

[State]

Scout.com: Gholston Talks Tuxedo Choice, Future Plans

"The hat matched the tux, and it looked nice and I wanted to look nice," he said. "Those were the colors she picked and I like the way it looked and it matched, so we went with it."

I think we've reached parody

ESPN from the Illini Nike Camp

There is no doubt that the guy you want to send off the bus first is William Gholston (Detroit/Southeastern). This budding superstar was the most physically impressive man in Champaign on Saturday. He proved to have speed off the edge when lining up at defensive end and often beat the offensive tackle before the opponent could kick back and anchor down

If a "look test" award were given out, it almost certainly would have gone to Gholston, another ESPNU 150 Watch List prospect. Gholston not only looked great physically, but he showed speed and agility for a big guy. On more than one occasion, Gholston blew by his opponent with an outside speed rush.

im almost positive this is the most important recruit MSU has ever targeted in the last 20 years. arguably of course, but this kid is an absolute stud.

From ESPN

OSU-MSU battling for Gholston?
Nobody passed the "look test" better than ESPNU 150 Watch List defensive end William Gholston. During a break in the action, Gholston said USC, Ohio State, Michigan State, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida were schools prominent on his list. However, the talk around Memorial Stadium on Saturday was that Gholston's decision could easily come down to the Buckeyes or Spartans.

Thoughts? Getting pretty ansy over here to be honest with you....

Agree. I think we have a great shot of landing him (and ultimately think we will) I'm just ready to hear it from him. Unfortunetely, I think it will be Fall before he makes a decision.

The longer it goes the worse I feel...prom photos made me feel better, but.....

Relax, all signs show he is a heavy lean. He is a huge recruit with a lot of schools coming at him right now and he wants to take in the experience.

[DUGVSUSPARTAN]

I hope your right, he is huge national recruit for us to get even though he is a Michigan kid...he is most likely will be the difference between a great recruiting class and a good/average class

relax... is not going to allow for a dropoff...and there won't be...not with this schedule.

[Gods03]

I wonder if Hankins getting an tOSU offer matters at all to Will...

[Nigea Carter]

Cmon guys stay focused on this thread. This is serious with Gholston.

Yeah, we should definitely not be talking trash about this kid. He could wind up a recruitment target soon.

For what it's worth, I suspect reports of his 'domination' over Gholston are probably overstated. Gholston still walked out of that camp with top marks from everybody there.

As for the prom outfit, he says his date chose to wear green. So his suit had to match, accordingly.

"That's my friend, she chose green, so I couldn't be like, 'No, I can't wear green,'" Gholston said. "I felt like, I'm still a kid. I wanted to be like everybody else and wear what I want to wear and put a hat on. That's all."

hmmm, I wonder if she had some alterior motives...

[newlander]

and you VERY well could be, but don't underestimate the sweater vest here. They have resource$ that MSU can only dream of. Plus his brother went there so...........sure hope he goes to MSU obviously but the Vest is, well.......the VEST.
