Jordan Diamond: 4-Star OT'S Best Options
Jordan Diamond is expected to make his college decision Friday night, and of his choices, some are definitely better than others.
According to ESPN, Diamond will choose from Arkansas, Auburn, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Diamond has made official visits to all of those schools and also received offers from virtually all over the country.
Listed at 6'6", 289 pounds, Diamond has been highly coveted by several teams, and whichever program is able to get him will be very pleased to add him their list of 2012 recruits.
With that said, here are the best landing spots for Diamond.
Michigan
Brady Hoke is doing big things for the Wolverines, and Diamond should want to be apart of that.
Hoke is getting back to the ground-and-pound, which means he needs fantastic offensive linemen to create big holes. He has landed some skilled linemen already, but because the Wolverines are getting back to a national powerhouse, Michigan is a great fit for Diamond.
Diamond has the skills to contribute early, as well as develop into a big star. He would certainly achieve great things at Michigan.
Arkansas
The Razorbacks are on the rise in the SEC and they have a big need for offensive lineman. The only problem is that Bobby Petrino doesn't have an offensive tackle in his 2012 class.
Arkansas does have two offensive guards, but they need to land Diamond to make the class more complete.
Diamond would be one of the major stars of the Razorbacks' 2012 recruiting class, which should entice him to want to go there. He has the chance to help keep Arkansas in the national scene, and that's why they're high on his best options list.
Wisconsin
The Badgers are known for producing outstanding linemen, which could prompt Diamond to choose them. His most recent visit was with Wisconsin, and that definitely gives them a small advantage.
Ultimately, Diamond will choose which school is best for him, and while the Badgers would be a good place, it's not great.
The reason is they're loaded with offensive line talent as it is. According to ESPN, they only have 12 commits, so they could certainly use Diamond.
However, three of those guys are offensive tackles, and it would benefit Diamond to go somewhere else where he didn't have to compete too much.
Auburn
Gene Chizik is hoping to snag a few more recruits to make his 2012 class comparable to that of his archrival, Nick Saban.
The Tigers have stockpiled offensive linemen not just in this year's class, but also previous years under Chizik, so Diamond might be better off landing elsewhere.
Auburn's depth at offensive line is very strong, as the Tigers had 12 freshman offensive linemen this past season.
Diamond can win at any school he picks, especially Auburn, but playing time might be scare for quite awhile.
