Dr Phillips High school in Orlando (FL) has produced a lot of talent over the last few years, and Michigan has been there to harvest it. The class of 2010 produced four star WR Ricardo Miller for the Wolverines (although he did spend his senior year in Michigan, he committed whilst at Dr Phillips), and 2011 has Demetrius Hart, a big Michigan lean.
2012 may well continue the trend with QB Nick Patti, who is very on the Wolverines after visiting with Hart last month. Patti got to spend a good deal of time talking football with QB Coach Rod Smith, and then got some quality time with Coach Rodriguez. Both Nick and his dad were hugely impressed with Rich Rod, and although its probably too early to talk leaders, if there is one, its Michigan.
Other schools showing interest are Oregon, Florida State (which he's visited), UCLA and Georgia Tech. Nick could be back up in Ann Arbor if he decides to visit with Dee and some other Florida kids for a game during the fall.
I understand that his dad is financially well off to the point that he could pay for his own education, am I correct about that?
ReplyDeleteHis father is Ed Patti, and after a quick google search I did find an Ed Patti in Orlando who is the owner of Access Floor Solutions. I have no idea how big the business is, or whether its even the correct person. Either way, Nick will still be offered scholarships.
