OL Bobby Massie (6-6 320) of Lynchburg, VA will spend the next academic year at Hargrave Prep, VA. That's not something he's crazy about. But easing his pain is the knowledge that he's strongly coveted by several schools, including Clemson. "They've told me that going into the recruiting season, I'm the number one person they are recruiting," Massie said of the Tigers' pitch. "That makes me feel good, that I'm the number one guy on their board. Others tell me I'm a real big need at the offensive line position. Virginia Tech says I can come in and start right away. North Carolina says I'm a real big need. Georgia says I can fill in some spots and compete early. Alabama is losing three lineman and I have a real good chance to come in and compete for a starting job." Massie has offers from Clemson, Alabama, North Carolina and Georgia. Coaches from Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, Clemson and Virginia Tech have been thru his school this spring. He does not claim a favorite.
