Odoms reports a 2.5 core GPA, but has not taken the SAT or ACT yet.

Odoms: "I like to do everything and I play really hard. I go all out, but I'm always calm and relaxed on the field. I never get nervous and I don't force things to happen. I'm also a good blocker because I'm really physical.

"I try to stay humble. I'm not a big trash talker or anything. I still want to work on my overall speed and route-running."

From the Miami site. Odoms couldn't make it to his official Miami visit, but says that doesn't change the fact that Miami is still a favorite. He will visit Michigan this weekend, and says that Miami, Michigan, and South Florida are all even. He will decide on signing day.

Some top high school recruits remain undecided

Quote:

"I'm pretty much undecided right now," Odoms, a Palm Beach Post All-Area first wide receiver, said Friday before leaving for Ann Arbor.

"I don't know much about them," Odoms said before his visit this weekend to Michigan. "The coaches were recruiting me from West Virginia and then it carried over."

Odoms made official visits to West Virginia and South Florida in January, and he also visited Auburn in November.

"I liked them all," Odoms said. "I'm going to sign with whoever I feel the most comfortable - the school, the coaches and players. You've got to see how they are outside of football. If I go and do what I can do, I'll play wherever it is, but I want to feel comfortable, like family."

From TheWolverine...says he likely will not sign on NLOID and will instead take a visit to Miami next weekend and then likely decide. Talks about spending time with Greg Mathews during his official to Michigan.

He's going to Miami. Accepted a track scholarship I think.

He's been offered a track scholarship to Miami, but if he suits up for the football team I think he still counts against the 85...

From the WVU site...says the report about him possibly taking a track scholarship was incorrect because he is focused on football. Has offers from Michigan, WVU, Miami, Auburn, Iowa, Notre Dame, Rutgers, USF and Tennessee but appears focused on WVU, Michigan and Miami.

From CaneSport...says everyone is even and is considering delaying his announcement for a few weeks.
