Reeves interested in Vols; Poole eyeing South Carolina
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Stone Mountain receiver Charles Reeves Jr. continues to consider scholarship offers from Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia Tech.
Reeves will likely wait until near the end of the season to make a decision.
Without declaring Tennessee his front-runner, Reeves made clear his feelings for the Volunteers.
“I love the Tennessee program,” Reeves said. “It’s like one big happy family up there.”
Poole losing interest in Tennessee?
Stephens County running back Tauren Poole, who has committed to Tennessee, hasn’t entirely ruled out an offer from South Carolina.
“Tennessee is my first school,” Poole said. “But I just take it one day at a time. As it turns out, I’m a Volunteer right now.
“But I’m interested in South Carolina. They’ve got a running back leaving and one coming back. I think it’d be a plus for me coming in there as a freshman.”
Difficult decision ahead for Chamblee’s Loftley
Central Florida, Duke, South Carolina and Vanderbilt are the front-runners in the recruitment of Chamblee defensive lineman Taylor Loftley.
“There are definitely things I like about each school,” Loftley said. “It will be a hard decision.
“But I want to make the right decision. Ultimately, it will come down to where I feel most comfortable.
“I originally wanted to make my decision before the season, but it got busy with school and the season. It will probably be toward the end of the year now.”
Ward favoring South Carolina
Mt. Zion, Jonesboro running back Martin Ward is inching closer to a commitment to South Carolina.
“I’m leaning toward South Carolina,” Ward confirmed.
Ward, who briefly committed to Georgia earlier this year, said he’s also considering Clemson, Louisville and North Carolina.
The Gamecocks are his new front-runner, thanks in part to coach Steve Spurrier.
“It’s all about the coaching staff,” Ward said. “Coach Spurrier has a lot of energy, and he brings it to the field.
“He’s a real good guy. And the schemes he runs is the reason they’re winning. It’s very exciting.”
