DEL.ICIO.USCarver safety to tour college campuses during spring break
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Carver, Atlanta free safety Darren Myles Jr. should consider chartering an airplane during his upcoming spring break to accomodate an ambitious travel schedule
The 6-foot-2.5, 185-pound junior and his father, Carver coach Darren Myles, will embark on a whirlwind tour of college campuses, beginning with an Apr. 5 stop at Central Florida.
“We plan to go to Central Florida and Florida,” coach Myles said Sunday. “Then we’ll do Tennessee, go to Purdue, come back down to Kentucky and, if there’s time, maybe see Alabama.”
Myles currently holds 15 scholarship offers, most notably from Alabama, Auburn, Central Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Mississippi State, North Carolina State, Purdue, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and West Virginia.
Florida could be the next program to send an offer.
“[Florida coach] Urban Meyer called me on Wednesday and said he’s watched the film on Darren,” coach Myles said. “For the head coach to call, that tells me his stock has really risen.”
Myles said his son doesn’t plan on naming a group of favorites until he’s taken more visits. To date, Myles has toured Auburn, Georgia and Georgia Tech.
“It’s hard for him to say he likes a school until he actually visits the school, gets to sit down and talk to the coaches, walks the campus and finds out about the academics,” Myles said.
Tech and Georgia made favorable impressions on Myles during recent visits to each institution.
“From what he saw, he really likes both schools,” Myles said. “He likes the fact that [Tech coach] Paul Johnson appears to be very confident and has won everywhere he’s been.
“And he likes the fact that [Georgia] coach [Mark] Richt has stability in place and they’ve been a top 10 team the past few years.
“And he likes the fact that coach Richt appears to be real loyal. When they offer a kid and he commits, they honor that commitment.”
The versatile Myles, who is currently running track, plays free safety, receiver and sees limited action at quarterback for Carver.

The Myles family have it figured out and a plan. Good luck, hope you stay in Ga but whatever you do follow your plan and then make the call.

After Barack Hussien Osama becomes our Muslim president, will football be banned? Muslim countries don’t play football. Their favortie sport is killing everyone who is not Islamic.
