Brodie Croyle, Von Ewing and Carnell Williams spent much of their time together the summer before their senior year of HS and when being recruited. Von Ewing posted regularly on another message board. They all wanted to attend the same school. They spent the night at each others home, went to movies etc. Von committed to about every school he visited then decommitted, Carnell felt dissed by Franchione who said he was making him one of his first visits then Dennis spent too much time at Brodie's and cancelled. Brodie was almost a Seminole. Von Ewing did stay by Brodie's side till he decided he liked stage plays more than football plays.
