Cam Ward to Portal

[Hoyacane1620]

I mean I’m not an insider. But he’s there

makes sense. If the chatter that the staff expects to lock it down by the end of the weekend is right, they'd have to have visited ....

I thought Howard was coming during the week...

Would be awkward if Ward commits while Howard is on the plane.

A weekend party in Miami on someone else's dime will easy the suffering

Kudos to Mario and the staff for keeping the Ward visit under wraps. Ward is arguably the most sought after Portal player and there are several Blue Blood programs in need of a QB next year.

Keeping the visit of such a high profile player quiet until the last day is quite an accomplishment.

Well done.

Now it’s time to close the deal!

Cribby has been dropping nuggets this week but until this morning there were significantly more questions of when he would visit than confirmations.

No one seems to be reporting anything except for the NC State kid visiting. Either it's Ft. Knox over there or we truly have no one else on campus this weekend.

There’s guys on campus now and more this weekend

Source?

Apologies for my skepticism, but other than an earlier post and the ON3 report about a rumored weekend visit, there have been no other reports to confirm the visit is taking place. Ward indicated earlier this week there would be no weekend visit and somebody alluded to graduation taking place Saturday (which supports your insight).

Any word from insiders or news sources?

I wanna believe it’s true but going to need a little more meat on the bone [pause].

Well, technically, if he visited yesterday and today and heads back tonight for graduation tomorrow, that's not a weekend visit.

Yeah, but if he makes it all the way here, might as well show him a good time in Miami. Doubt he would complain about that.

 

[Bender]

Lets be honest, if he was here yesterday and is still here today and stays till afternoon, they're giving him the full-house-pitch and something to really think about.

No ****!!

 

[Gables Cane]

He’s been here since yesterday. Miami will try and secure commitment today. If he leaves campus tonight without verbal/agreement Howard will have chance to commit this weekend as he flys in tonight.

Staff expecting one of these two and they’re expecting it by Sunday. Buckle up

Well done!

No ****!!

What do you mean no ****? I wanted to **** on Mario's table if he screws it up. What do you mean "no"?

If all this is accurate, guy already had us high on his list and we're apparently his first—and hopefully only—visit. With the OSU boards and tweets (X's?) saying they haven't been in contact with him, it points to him just needing to make sure he's comfortable with the coaches and city.

What's the consensus on the board? If it's down to Ward or Howard, who do we prefer?

Ward is a QB, Howard is an athlete.
