Expected to be one of the top RB's in the Midwest next year. He's already taken an unofficial visit 11/5/11 to Iowa. Everyone is after him though so it's going to be a struggle to get him.
The head trainer in our office health club works out pro players in the city and the RB at Joliet Catholic heading to NW. He watched all of the games last year and had some pretty interesting commentary:
-Ty is a stud, people are now telling him that he can be the #1RB in the country and possibly the best overall player
-I asked him where he is leaning, he said that all of the big boys have now come on board, SC, Bama, etc and telling him he is there #1 recruit
-I asked him whether ND was in front because of JC, he said possibly but didn't know, he did mention that his Dad was a for JC player so the catholic insitution is big for the family
-Mentioned unlike Malin (father played in the NFL)...all of this attention is getting to him. Mentioned that his Dad really liked the attention so doubted that this would be over soon
-I asked about his size and speed (which I already knew), he actually thinks he could be a receiver with his speed. Mentioned great straight line speed and really smooth cuts while maintaining the speed, but not a lateral quick type of kid. We both thought Marcus Allen was a good description given how fluid he is...
-Guy mentioned that even at the end of the year, he started to notice that Ty was becoming a bit cocky...walking back to the huddle, how he carried himself on the field, etc. Something to watch...but his last game he put up like 500 yards in the State Champ game so he can back it up.
4-star offensive lineman Logan Tuley-Tillman of Peoria (IL) Manual picked up an Iowa offer today. He added it to an impressive list that already includes Alabama, Michigan, OSU, Notre Dame, Arkansas, and a dozen others. Here's his film:
I've heard and seen that as well. I'm wondering why he hasn't committed to Michigan yet, if he likes them so much. He's visited multiple times, is apparently a big fan, and holds an offer. Is there something specific holding him back?
