LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Former Stanford commit Isaac Savaiinaea (Honolulu/Punahou School), down to Texas A&M and UCLA, will likely wait until signing day to reveal his decision, the linebacker said today after his arrival here for Under Armour All-America Game.
The Aggies’ initial season in the Southeastern Conference impressed Savaiinaea.
“They went to the No. 1 team’s place and beat them,” he said. “You see that they actually do have a shot at a national championship. That’s appealing to me.”

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Laquon Treadwell (Crete, Ill./Crete-Monee) seems to like the southeastern culture, and that could be a good thing for Ole Miss.
The ESPN 150 wide receiver says the Rebels are in his top three with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. He will take his official to Stillwater on Jan. 11.
“My recruitment got pretty wild there for a couple of weeks, but once I starting talking with the schools I was most interested in and put together a top three everything settled down,” Treadwell said. “I don’t expect any schools to challenge those three, but we’ll see.”
