I bet it is ARKY, Wisky, and Iowa. I just have a good feeling on this one. No inside info. I am just thinking the connection with Jaleel and Flemming will pay off.
This is actually a good thing.
The sooner we know we're out of the running, the quicker we can move on to other targets.
Plenty of fish in the sea.
My guess is we're in his final five but not his eventual destination. Robert Gregory, says Jordan, likes the way UW and Iowa develop OL for the NFL. UM, has been his favorite, or at least the presumed favorite, for a long-time. Arkansas, he seemed to love his trip there and his friend R.Gregory is likely to choose them.
My guess is those teams make his final five, with another one IF he cuts it down to five and not two-three. Think UM is still the team to beat(they had a 2011 OT/OG commitment leave the team last week so they'll clearly have an open spot for him barring some unexpected other commitments.)
I honestly believe that if Michigan drops out of Diamond's favor ... then Iowa will likely be in the lead for his services. Everything I've gathered about Diamond suggests that he cares very much about his chances of landing in the NFL. Iowa, without a doubt, is a better choice than Arkansas.
Looking at it from the purely the best chance to make it to the NFL. I'd say Iowa and UW would be the final two. UM, has put a lot of OL into the NFL, but not that many the last few years. They have a new OL coach so, his reputation(up or down)may affect his decision.
Iowa, is developing NFL OL at a really high rate but not only that two recent OT(Bulaga and Reiff)have become NFL ready even as junior eligibles. So, they're not only developing NFL OL at a high rate, but doing it surprisingly fast. I'd think that would be an added incentive to come to Iowa.
RB David Smith talks of his interest in Indiana and Iowa.
RB Tevin Coleman says Georgia Tech is his leader.

Something about that article gives me the feeling that Georgia Tech leads for Coleman.

Lake Forest Academy (Ill.) defensive end Faith Ekakitie has decided where he will take four of his five official visits, according to his coach, Ted Stewart.
Ekakitie (6-foot-3, 265 pounds), ranked No. 26 at his position and No. 5 in Illinois, will visit Boston College, Georgia Tech, Iowa and Oregon. The fifth is still up in the air.
"Those are the four pretty solid ones," Stewart said.
Diamond would be in the 2 deep at OT for OSU the minute he set foot on campus. OSU is so thin there right now I have to imagine OSU is selling him on that. Losing Kalis to UM was rough.
