I would call him a combo G who has the ability to run the point.

Would love to see him jump in as a 2012 recruit.

But Collins doesn't need the extra year like Brutus -- a late qualifier who's already compiled a list of offers from NCAA Division I schools including Arkansas, Tennessee, George Washington and Charlotte. Collins, already academically eligible to play in college next year, has offers in hand from Virginia Tech and Miami. Still, he's considering coming back to MMA for a postgraduate year.

"Every day I'm getting pushed," Collins said. "At my other school, it was just like kids that were there played just to play. Here, everyone was the best on their team. So we're all good and we get pushed every day in practice.

"As far as competition-wise, every game if you don't bring your best you can lose. We're playing the best of the best, all the best schools, all the best competition -- most of the time, the schools we play have five or six Division I players signed already. You have to bring your 'A' game."

PG Corban Collins confirmed he is now apart of 2012. Will be great late addition for any program looking for a PG.

jeff- would you say the staff is of the opinion that neither guyn nor davis are not going to be suitable options as full time point guards when wright leaves?

I think Davis needs more time to contribute at the pg position (if he isn't moved to 2 guard) and that Guyn will never be an offensive threat from the point. Plus, in this system you need depth at guard. A guy like Collins can score and play either guard position is valuable. After this season you're looking at Kilpatrick, if he truly stays 2 years, Guyn and Davis, so it is prudent to sign a guard in 2012 if he can contribute and play high D1 ball. A lot of people think he will be a very nice late pick up for someone. Played against good competition and he can score.
