Link CB John Fulton Update (7/17)

Share
 

Fulton plans to announce his decision in November.

John Fulton shakes up top schools, bumps up decision date (Jul17)
Quote:
Under Armour All-American cornerback John Fulton (Manning, S.C.) still has Alabama on top for his signature, ESPN affiliate Web site CrimsonConfidential.com reports. Now, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and LSU trail the Tide in that order.

Tennessee was previously in Fulton's top group. Additionally, his high school teammate defensive end Dexter Morant recently committed to Georgia.

If he is ready to announce, then why not go ahead and announce? I know, I know. He wants to take visits. But I am getting greedy and spoiled.

Re: CB John Fulton Update (7/17)

I don't think he is ready to announce. I also think with the recent development of Dexter Morant to Georiga the longer he waits the better off we will be. Wonder how much of a factor a good start to the season will be for Fulton?

Just read an article where Morant said he doesn't think Fulton will go to Georgia but to Alabama.

This is great news to hear. I really like Fulton, and want him to be a part of this class.

Recruiting: USC paves way for next Jeffery | GoGamecocks
Quote:
Manning defensive back John Fulton (6-1, 188) made an unofficial visit to Clemson last week, his first visit there, and he plans to be back at USC for a camp July 27. He continues to favor Alabama over Georgia, USC, Florida and LSU.

“Everybody is pressuring me to make an early commitment, but I’m trying to hold off,” Fulton said. “Alabama and Georgia want me to make a quick decision.”

Fulton’s teammate, defensive end Dexter Morant (6-6, 235) committed to Georgia last week and the two have talked about playing together in college. “We’re trying to make that happen, but if it doesn’t, we understand that we have to do what is best for ourselves.”

Is attending USC's showcase this weekend where he will be working with Lorenzo Ward (our defensive coordinator/secondary coach), and with Gamecock secondary NFL pros Andre Goodman and Sheldon Brown

Re: CB John Fulton Update (7/17)

USC is his new leader, but this will still be a Bama/USC fight all the way to November.

Re: CB John Fulton Update (7/17)

Please link the atricle. I think it is an interview from Clemson that is suggesting he is favoring USC over UA that I saw on the USC boards but I have not seen the article to read it or am convinced that it is true. If so please provide link would be curious to read it.

Re: CB John Fulton Update (7/17)

So goes the story with SC prospects. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he ends up at USC. He's a great prospect but he insists on waiting and most of the time that seems to end up badly for us and SC prospects. I know Saban won't let him go with out a fight because he is an elite corner. I hope we can still get him but if not USC will get a good one.

Link Re: CB John Fulton Update (7/26)

As stated in the posts above the lastest is that Fulton is now listing USC as his favorite followed by Bama and the others. It still looks like Bama is in a close second place and it is a long way to November. However like AT said I also would not be surprised if he ended up at South Carolina. I don't know the CB situation at USC and I am not making any excuses but there is a whole lot of serious competition for any CB coming to Bama and that may be a big consideration.

Here is the BOL link to the Rivals GamecockCentral.com article.
