Marquis Boone is confident his offers will pick up after his finishes his summer tour. Boone currently holds offers from Illinois and Central Michigan. This past weekend he is confident he played well enough to earn an offer from Georgia Tech.

"I played pretty well at Georgia Tech's camp. I think there is a good chance I can get an offer from them now."

Georgia Tech is not the only ACC school showing interest in Boone. Boone is receiving interest from Clemson, NC State, South Carolina, and South Florida. The Illini currently hold the edge.

"They are out front because they have offered. I remember Coach (Ron) Zook from when he was at Florida. They want me to come up for a visit. They are in the process of rebuilding, right now, and they said I could be a big part in moving that process along."

Dabo Swinney is recruiting Boone for the Tigers.

"Clemson has sent me some mail. I have not got anything in awhile."
