Do we have a legit shot at Wilkins, or is BC the #5 in his top 5 and for all intents and purposes out of the running?
It's not entirely clear - most "experts" think Wilkins is going to PSU but I'm not sure what that stems from. Farrell actually had a note on him today:
Four-star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins is one of the quieter recruits in the country, but he has scheduled his second official visit to Clemson for next weekend. It is hard to really tell who is seriously involved because of Wilkins' silent spells, but at this time I'm hearing Stanford, who received his first official visit, Clemson, Penn State, Notre Dame, Boston College and Ohio State. The Nittany Lions are actually still pushing for an official visit this weekend, but at last check that has yet to come together. To make his situation even more interesting, he will likely enroll at a school for the spring semester, so time is obviously running short for additional official visits.
Idk what the official visits would indicate, but hes from Springfield and has visited/camped at BC numerous times so I wouldn't say BC not getting an official would put them out of it. With all that being said, as TGOSB mentioned, he has been silent with the whole process. If he is planning on enrolling in spring, I would have to think he would need to have a decision made within the next 30-45 days. BC's spring semester starts Jan 12 for instance, so I imagine from an administrative perspective he would need to decide and start the admission process ASAP as most schools probably start aroudn the same time for spring enrollment.
He could very well end up at Penn State, but I think when people say the "experts" are predicting PSU, its really just that stupid prediction feature at 247, which switched heavy to PSU right before he visited there (it really means nothing except all the 247 monkeys were hoping he would commit on that visit so they all predicted it on a whim, they will probably all switch there predictions again showing how pointless that feature really is).
