Camden keeps winning with deep lineup | Philadelphia Inquirer | 01/21/2008

Camden doesn't have as much size as in recent years. Its starting lineup usually includes Walton, Walls and Pitts, along with 6-2 Tyree Watkins and 6-4 Terrell Harper. Hubert Simmons (no relation to Garry), a 6-foot freshman, has also made some starts, and he reached double figures in consecutive games recently.

Cavs land three pass catchers | Charlottesville Daily Progress

Apparently, Virginia’s decision to air out its offense is catching on.

The Cavaliers landed three pass-catching recruits today during their annual Blue Chip Recruit Day.

Kevin Royal, a wideout from Brunswick High in Greenwich, Conn., Tyree Watkins, a wideout/safety from Camden, N.J., and Paul Freedman, a tight end from Catholic High in Clearwater, Fla., became the 13th, 14th and 15th commitments, respectively, for the Class of 2009.

Camden (N.J.) High three-star wide receiver Tyree Watkins still considers himself a Virginia commitment, but things could change following the season. Watkins will take an official visit to Virginia in November, then reassess the situation with his parents before deciding if he wants to take visits to other schools or stick with his original plans. Several schools are still in contact with Watkins, including West Virginia, Miami, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, Stanford, Arizona State, Minnesota and Penn State.

According to Sean Fitz at BWI, Watkins will be visiting this weekend.

[Undercover Brother]

once a verbal starts visiting other schools, he isn't a verbal anymore. Watkins becomes a non verbal tomorrow, just like Anthony Fera.

I assumed the same thing when I saw Watkins was visiting, hope you're right about both.

[FrankBooth]

I think Kevion Lathom took a couple of visits after committing to PSU, but he said that was the plan when he committed.

I bet Watkins is getting a different vibe out of Charlottesville now than he did last spring when they were coming off a good season, so my guess he is reconsidering that decision.
