How do you know our recruits haven't been talking with Hawkins.

LJSR is preoccupied. Methinks he is finished after this season.

I've just went by old news and what they said, with the focus apparently being on Tavon Austin & Jelani Jenkins. But since we fell out of favor with Tavon maybe everyone is falling asleep at the wheel...HAH. LJ SR. is hopefully preoccupied with the DL, other than that he is probably pissed some of his guys were made examples of, but that is what happens when you act like a$$holes. I'm sure he is sour about that but whether he leaves if Joe is done, who knows...certainly not I.

Hawkins has official visits set to Oregon, Penn State and Maryland the next three weekends. His visit to Michigan left a good impression.

"I liked it a lot," Hawkins said. "They are going to have a good football team. Academically Michigan stood out. I feel I could go in there and compete pretty fast."

However it may not be easy for the Wolverines to beat out Hawkins' home-state school.

"I don't have a favorite, but my mom wants me to go to Maryland," Hawkins said. "That might play a role. I'll make my decision sometime in November."

Defensive back Travis Hawkins (Gaithersburg, Md./Prince Orchard) followed up his official visit to Michigan the weekend of Oct. 4 with a trip to the West Coast this past weekend on an official visit to Oregon.

"It went well," Hawkins said of his Oregon visit. "What I expected is what I saw. I liked it out there. I liked the facilities and the coaching staff. The players are real cool."

When asked which visit he liked best, Michigan or Oregon, Hawkins said, "I liked the Michigan academics better. But other than that, Oregon was better."

Well this recruitment changed in a hurry.

Methinks good news could be coming by the end of the month...

That would be sick.

And perhaps more poignantly, the game had also included an injury to Quince Orchard standout Travis Hawkins -- one of the area's top players -- who was carted off the field in the fourth quarter and transported to Montgomery General Hospital with what he later told Coach Dave Mencarini was a high ankle sprain.

Get well soon, Travis!

If he had made the visit, he wouldn't have been injured.

Thanks, Ralph. Your little stunt to keep the kid in state got him carted off the field.

Maryland About to Add a Top Defensive Back? - Josh Barr's Recruiting Insider

Quote:

Quince Orchard standout Travis Hawkins will announce his college decision on Thursday, according to Cougars Coach Dave Mencarini, and I wouldn't be surprised if Maryland makes a nice addition to its recruiting class.

Among the other schools Hawkins is considering are Michigan, Oregon and Penn State. He was scheduled to visit Penn State two weekends ago but had to postpone the trip after the Cougars' game was rained out from Friday to Saturday night.

Hawkins currently is sidelined by a sprained ankle, but Mencarini has said Hawkins could return to action in the playoffs.

Looks like a done deal to Maryland.

Travis Hawkins, Quince Orchard's star football player, will attend the University of Maryland, he announced at a press conference today at noon.

The 5-foot-10, 190-pound athlete chose Maryland after narrowing his list to five schools in August. Maryland, Penn State, Georgia, Tennessee and Oregon all made the list.

ESPN's Scouts Inc. has Hawkins listed at the No. 12 cornerback in the nation.

MDVarsity.com will have a more detailed story about Hawkins' commitment later today.

Hawkins has played mostly defensive back for Quince Orchard this season and has been out with an ankle sprain for the past two weeks. Head coach Dave Mencarini said he expects Hawkins back for the playoffs.

Hawkins was Mr. Everything for the Cougars last season - rushing for 407 yards while making 25 catches for 700 yards. He also led the team through the first round of regional playoffs last year from the quarterback position when the regular starter was injured.

Hawkins took official visits to Oregon on Oct. 10 and Michigan on Oct. 3. He had an official visit to Maryland scheduled for Nov. 21.
