Where will Bell, Millines, Corbett, & Chisholm land?

Jason Lieser of the Plam Beach Post high school buzz blog predicts where a few Marshall targets might land today:

Glades Central DB Travis Bell

Bell (6-2, 186, No. 7 on The Big Board) was one of several players to commit to West Virginia on a visit last September. He never budged on that promise until Marshall hired away Doc Holliday and Jajuan Seider. He committed to Marshall, but immediately backtracked and said he still was considering West Virginia.

PREDICTION: West Virginia. No offense to Marshall, but Bell is out of the Thundering Herd’s league. He had offers from many BCS schools and was Glades Central’s most pursued recruit. It is difficult to imagine him stepping down from a BCS program to Marshall. Mountaineers coach Bill Stewart has been in Palm Beach County lately and likely smoothed over any hurt feelings.

American Heritage WR Darius Millines

Millines (6-0, 175, No. 16 on The Big Board) committed to West Virginia on the same trip as Bell. He also was with Bell when he went to Marshall. There were rumors that Millines committed to Marshall, but he and American Heritage coach Doug Socha said those reports were false. Since then, Illinois has jumped into the mix.

PREDICTION: Illinois. Millines visited the Fighting Illini last week and sounded very excited about it. Head coach Ron Zook flew down for a home visit and might have sealed Millines’ signature in the process. Illinois is a spread team and would be a great fit for him.

Glades Central DL Isiah Corbett

Corbett (6-1, 250, No. 33 on The Big Board) had 85 tackles and 10 sacks after transferring from Royal Palm Beach prior to last season. He went largely unnoticed by major college scouts until late in the season, but committed to Iowa State in December. He later visited Marshall and opened himself back up to all schools.

PREDICTION: Marshall. Doc Holliday can’t get everybody he wants, but he will add Corbett to a pretty solid group of Palm Beach County players headed to the Thundering Herd.

Glades Central DB/RB Antwon Chisholm

Chisholm (5-8, 165, No. 38 on The Big Board) has two confirmed de-commitments on his record and possibly a third. He made a surprising announcement early in the football season that he was committed to Oklahoma State. That lasted a month or so before he committed to Mississippi State. Multiple Glades Central sources said last month he committed to Marshall, but Chisholm denied it.

PREDICTION: Brigham Young or Yale. I honestly have no clue. I drew those names out of a hat. If I have to be serious, I guess it’s Marshall.
