Prep Charter 4-star defensive lineman Karamo Dioubate comes in at No. 164 in the final 2016 Rivals250 rankings.
As you all probably know by now, Dioubate is a former Penn State verbal. And as Kyle first reported, he was in for a visit this past weekend.
I've been told now by a few sources that he could be making three more visits before deciding, including a possible double visit this week or weekend, but I haven't been able to confirm where. He'd be the highest-ranked Temple commit and an instant-impact player out of the gate, so we'll see how that goes.
A couple of other recruiting notes to pass along:
I was told by a few people I talked to that Temple might have made a favorable enough impression on North Fort Myers HS wide receiver Freddie Johnson. He's not highly-ranked, but someone I talked to down there thinks he could be what Robby Anderson was at Temple - a quick, fast playmaker that can stretch defenses. The impression I got is that he and his family wanted to come home and talk things over before deciding, but we'll see how that goes as well.
I'd suspect Temple will look to add 1-2 more offensive linemen with this class, and I also had an interesting conversation yesterday with someone familiar with Dan Archibong who thinks he could eventually/potentially become an offensive tackle, so we'll see. The staff and some of the current players seem very high on Benson Israel and Jovahn Fair, who could both make serious pushes for the starting guard spots after redshirting this year. Obviously, we have a ton to learn about that in the spring and preseason camp.
