Tells me he no longer attends the Chicago (Ill.) Franciscan Hales Academy. Tells me he goes to the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
This is definitely good news for Ward as he continues to transition from being a basketball player to a football player.

Might end up being not so good news for Michigan, though.

I agree. Florida seems like our main competition and now it will be very difficult to visit us while much easier to vist Gainesville.

Doesn't sound like great news for Michigan, however.

This just means most of the SEC and ACC will be after him. Soon.
Hopefully, the connection with Logan Tulley-Tillman is strong and will continue to be strong.
If Michigan has a strong 2013 season, then we should be able to hold on to Ward.

Meh. I like Ward, but this is a position we will find plenty of takers at. No worries. I mean..we ain't OSU.

You're right.
I guess it's inevitable that many SEC and ACC schools will pursue him as well.

O'Connor attends IMG Academy in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

His 247 sports profile is misleading, O'Connor is also in Florida.

He was at Baylor in Tennessee.
He transferred to IMG in Florida. So he and Ward will be playing together.

A few weeks ago I think. He only was at Baylor for 1 semester.
Also this is going to be IMG's first season of football, with Heisman winner Chris Weinke serving as the coach.

I know that IMG has a QB academy but I didn't know that it was expanding into HS football.
Chris Weinke as coach makes me wary. He might push some players toward FSU.

His recruitment is puzzling .... I thought he was considering a decommit? 12 months is a long time.
