I stopped posting on him as I did not see any continued interest from Syracuse. Then boom, all of sudden he's a Parade All American, an honor which caught everyone off guard including Nathan himself and his former coach who doesn't remember ever sending anything in on him. I continued to read great things about the kid and was scratching my head as to why he wasn't getting much interest from anyone. From the story: [IMG]http://media.247sports.com/Uploads/Recruit/549/67597.png[/IMG] "Ricketts still hasn’t made a decision about his football playing future, but has received interest from Grand Valley, Central Michigan and Illinois, and has already received an invitation to be a preferred walk-on at Michigan State. ”I hope this will help that,” Ricketts said. McManus said that any team would be happy to get a player that has the work ethic and talent that Ricketts has." Contrary to the article, after checking the sites it shows him having offers from Central Michigan, Toledo, Western Michigan and interest from Illinios, Ball St, Cincy, N Ill, Clemson, E Mich, Iowa, Michigan, MSU, Minny, Miss St, Nebraska, Northwestern, OSU, Penn St, Tennessee and what do you know, Syracuse. His measurables show 6-3 (6-2 at another site), 215, 4.7 40, 4.4 shuttle, 32 " vertical. If the article is right he had no offers which contradicts the sites.
