Illinois football recruiting, moderated. Post responsibly and with respect for players and coaches. Rumors and speculation should be clearly labeled as such.
By B. Greene. Says he'd love to be offered by Ohio State. Distance isn't a problem for William. Wants to visit Tennessee, LSU, Miami, Georgia and Alabama. No timetable for a decision.
By J. Lyman of the Illinois site. Talks about his interest in Illinois. Wants to get to know the best players in the state of Michigan. Says he'll be playing linebacker during his senior year.
Under Armour All-American defensive end William Gholston Jr. (Detroit, Mich./Southeastern) has the physical tools to develop into an outstanding college player. More important, the 6-foot-7, 240-pounder has the mindset and work ethic to take him from promising prospect to dominant player.
Not buying into recruiting hype is one of the biggest challenges that prospects face when they get to college. It's very easy for an 18-year-old to let national recruiting attention go to his head, and to confuse that with a free pass through college football and into the NFL.

Quote:
Because of his size and his ability to run, Gholston wants to try to play middle linebacker in college.
"I was coached and trained to be a linebacker," he said. "I want to try to play middle linebacker in college. When I go to college, I am going to work three times as hard to play the position that I want to play. That will give me an advantage. I will play where the coaches want me to play."
Says his top right now consists of Michigan State, USC, Ohio State, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Miami and Michigan...he will be at the Michigan camp June 13th
