Coney said her son has no favorites right now and wants to take as many visits as possible between now and the start of training camp this summer. He also wants to take all of his official visits but won’t take any during the season unless he has an off week because he wants to concentrate on his football and his academics. Gary is a 3.8 student and will try to hit the 4.0 mark in his senior season. No decision is expected until National Signing Day.
“He’s enjoying the process and he’s still in awe,” Coney said. “He’s loving it. A young kid goes into these schools and they show him so much love and make him think he’s the best thing since sliced bread. He’s still caught up in that I’m more of a realist. I want my son to enjoy this process for as long as he can before I reel him down and say sit down, this is how it’s going to be.”
Coney said she wants to see as may of her son’s games as possible though she realizes if he goes several hours away from home, she may not be able to see them all. She can live with that.
“I don’t want him that close,” Coney said. “I want him to make his decision without having to check thru me. He’s been raised right. He has a good perspective of right and wrong. He may end up ten minutes away, or he may end up five hours away. But, we’re still early in the process, right? These are awesome, great schools that want Rashan to come play for them. These schools want my son and are going to offer him opportunities, so I want him to embrace the opportunity and have fun.”

I think I linked the overall article that chronicles Gary's visits to USCe and Clemson.
If not, the above quote is the bottom portion of that article cited. This is dated late April.
Mom is the key.... He wants to stay close so she can see him play, wants him to develop as a young man, and be provided great academic opportunities.... sounds like JF needs to set a date with Rashan and Ms. Cloney to sell them on PSU. He was at the OSU game last fall. Playing time has to come into play as well.
