Poole, Durham and Browne still looking.

Fairfield senior linebacker Marquise Vann remained verbally committed to UConn despite Randy Edsall being hired as head coach at Maryland. Vann verbally committed to UConn in mid-December. He had originally committed to Minnesota last summer but considered other options after the Big Ten program made a coaching change.

Winton Woods senior linebacker Antonio Poole – one of Ohio's top uncommitted players remaining in the 2011 class – will take an official visit to Miami (Fla.) the weekend of Jan. 21. Miami has been a late addition to the schools that have shown interest in Poole. Miami hired Al Golden in mid-December and the Hurricanes wanted Poole to visit. Poole has been considering schools that include Cincinnati, Michigan State, Nebraska, Wake Forest, Kentucky, Purdue and others. Poole, a first-team all-Fort Ancient Valley Conference Buckeye selection, had 22 tackles for loss during the regular season.
