McAllister not ready to name leaders

Demonte McAllister, a highly recruited defensive tackle from Alonso, had every intention of naming his top five college choices after spring practice. But something happened in May: The scholarship offers kept rolling in, one after the other and sometimes several in a day.

"The (colleges) called so many times," McAllister said. "There were so many out-of-area numbers that sometimes I stopped answering."

Because of this, an admittedly stressed McAllister said Thursday he now won't trim his list of schools until "sometime this summer." The 6-foot-3, 250-pound rising senior did, however, again confirm Florida State and Southern California will make the cut. His other top offers have come from Georgia, Florida, LSU, Miami, Michigan and Ohio State.
