VIRGINIA BEACH — And then there were five.

Landstown High School football star Percy Harvin says he has narrowed his college list to Florida, Florida State, Miami, Michigan and Southern Cal.

Harvin, a wide receiver rated by some recruiting services as the nation’s top player in the Class of 2006, has planned a recruiting trip to the University of Florida next weekend and said he expects to visit each of the other four schools before making a decision after his senior season.

Among the schools Harvin has eliminated from consideration are Virginia Tech, Virginia and Tennessee.

Harvin also said he and Landstown teammate Damon McDaniel, also a highly touted receiver, want to attend the same college.

“We’re just good, tight friends like that,” Harvin said. “He’s got pretty much the same offers as I do.”

Harvin and McDaniel each have more than 30 scholarship offers and helped Landstown to a 14-0 season and the Group AAA Division 6 state championship this past season as juniors.

Harvin, a 6-foot-1, 190-pounder, gained 985 yards receiving and 690 rushing but saved his most impressive performance for the state championship game. He scored four touchdowns, intercepted three passes and piled up 476 all-purpose yards in a 47-20 victory over Robinson.

He later was named the Associated Press Group AAA state Player of the Year.

Earlier this month, Harvin led Landstown to a share of the state title with Great Bridge in the Group AAA boys outdoor track and field meet. Harvin won the long jump, triple jump, 100 meters, 200 meters and was part of the winning 400-meter relay team.

During the winter, Harvin helped Landstown to the Group AAA state basketball championship game, in which he scored 27 points in the Eagles’ loss to Woodside.

Are you crazy? You play Florida every year and you will probably never play FSU, USC, Miami, and Michigan while Harvin is in college. Why would you want to play him every year when you could avoid playing him?

I think Harvin will go to the Florida Gators.

That's just my honest, professional opinion. :cool:

So you want the teams that you play every year to beat your @ss with the best players rather than let teams that you don't play beat other teams that you do play? That doesn't make a lot of sense.

So you are a SEC fan before you are a USC fan?

:confused:

I'm a USC fan first of all....but if we don't get the players i would rather they go to a fellow SEC team rather than go to a non SEC so that they can whoop all the SEC team and make the conference look bad...

But Harvin going to UF hurts USC. What if it is USC vs. Florida to decide who will go to the SEC Championship. USC is winning by 3 with 44 seconds left. Florida has the ball on their 20. Chris Leak throws a screen pass to Percy Harvin who then makes the corner miss and outruns the safety for the game winning TD. I am sure you would wish that Harvin had gone to Michigan instead.

Why do you want UF to get all the good players if USC can't get them? You will have to play all of these amazing players every year. Where if they go to Michigan, you more than likely never have to play them.

Just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

yeah i understand what you are saying but if UF does well it makes the SEC look good which in turn helps revenue for USC and helps USC get good players...

Alright I still disagree, but I see where you are coming from.
