Recruiting Thread

Despite how overrated i think star rankings are, i, too, get excited when a highly recruited kid picks my school. So here is where you can talk about anything that has to do with recruiting, whether it's a verbal committment, or you saw some highly ranked recruit play, or whatever.

Ray Polk, a 4 star RB from Arizona who a couple weeks ago said he might wait until signing day to make his decision, verbally committed to Colorado a couple days ago over Michigan, ASU, Nebraska, and a couple other schools.

I think John Elway's son Jack Elway has verbally commited to AZ State.

Just though i'd share that. I'm not even sure if he is good though.

also, darrell scott, rivals' #1 RB, is deciding between Colorado, Florida, Cal, FSU, LSU, UCLA, and USC. i think he lists colorado, florida, and cal as his top 3. luckily, CU true freshman receiver josh smith is scott's uncle and played high school football with him, so i've got a good feeling.romocop33

That would be huge for Colorado

But by some miracle Minnesota with their 1-6 record have3 four star recruits two Wide Recievers in Vincent Hill and Brandon Green and a Linebacker in Sam Maresh and a handful of 3 stars

This is a video of Sam McGuffie. He plays runningback at a 5A school in Texas. Yes Espurs, he's from Texas. But, he's committed to Michigan! :Dsith_acolyte15

Yes I know. Everyone knows about him, guy is so overrated because he is white and there like omg a white RB!

FSU got the no. 1 pro style QB,so hopefully we can take care of the QB problem soon. and UGA right now has the no. 2 recruiting class. lookin good for my teams so far.36Ounces

FSU also just got 4 star WR Corey Surrency, who originally committed to colorado a long ass time ago but everyone knew he would jet as soon as he got a bigger offer.

I watched the video and he looked pretty good.. He is crazy good at splitting defenders, which is very hard to do consistantly. He also follows his blocks well and gets up feild fast. He seemed to make like one cut and go, which is what coaches want you to always do.

The only thing I saw bad about him was he jumps over defenders too much, sure it looks cool and is flashy and can pick you up some extra yards some times... its also a way to get seriously injured when youre up in mid air you cant control where youre going very much so youre not gonna be dodging anyone and when you come back down its an easy way to get lit up.

Also, some of the runs showed more talent on the line then his... some of the holes he had to run through were ridiculous.... but overall he is a real good player.

No Aggie fans should be bitter, guy never was going to Texas he wasen't even considering them but he pretty much picked Michigan over the Aggies lol. Im just saying ive seen so many hype about this guy cuz he is white, he isnt even a top 10 RB coming out of HS.

He's pretty small... Only 188 Pounds.

most people think that Darrell Scott, rivals' number one running back in the country, has narrowed his decision to Colorado and Florida, and word has it that he cancelled his official visit to Florida and will be announcing his decision next week. romocop33

Well, after watching 3 and a half quarters of the HS All American game, McGuffie didn't do much special (Didn't get many chances, though). Cissoko was inconsistent on plays, and his height disadvantage really hurts him.

But Terrelle Pryor was awesome!

i have heard that he has narrowed it down to ohio state and Michigan but i think he will go to Michigan because mallet is leaving and he has no competition

Not so much "excited" as it is "anxious", with a little bit of "concerned".sith_acolyte15

You'll jynx it one day... Just like I jynxed the App State game a little.

I have heard him say numerous times he isn't picking till signing day, so don't get all excited till then.Espurs117

i want him to go to OSU boeckman sucks! he is to jittery and doesnt get rid of the ball!

How about you give him a break, man? He's only a sophomore playing his first season. Did you expect another Troy Smith/Kirk Herbstreit or something?

Dammit Pryor, pick Michigan already! *sigh*sith_acolyte15

Omar Hunter go to Florida damn you. Go to Florida. Screw those damn puppies!CommanderShiro

He committed to Florida. I don't think Georgia was ever on his mind. He graduated from the same school as Darius Walker, so it really looked like he was going to Notre Dame. In fact, I think he made a soft verbal to play for ND. edit: well, I just saw that another LB from Hunter's HS already commited to Florida, so that probably influenced his decision more than Darius Walker.

And we didn't need him. With DeAngelo Tyson already committing, and pretty much everyone of the D coming back, receivers are what Richt is gunning for. :)

Hawkeyes Outlook for 2008

I wrote a fairly biased opinion piece on my forum. it has all our recruits on it to; thought you guys might like it, even though im one of the only hawk fans here.

word on the street is that one Terrelle Pryor was on campus in Boulder this last week taking an unofficial visit. there is a reason colorado ran the spread offense (poorly) in their bowl game. i'm not saying CU has a good chance at landing Pryor, i'm just saying...romocop33

Looks like Darell Scott is gonna pick between UT and CU, should be interesting. As long as he didn't go to the Aggies/Sooners or Huskers or make the mistake of sitting on the bench at USC.

seems like it. but to be honest, i'm getting a little sick of this kid and the way he is jerking around the coaches and fans from both schools by saying he's made up his mind but won't tell anyone until NSD because of his agreement with CSTV. he better live up to the hype, where ever he ends up going.

By the way, Wednesday is Signing Day, here's a link to when the top remaining recruits will announce.

Oh, and Florida took the lead at Rivals with William Green announcing he'll sign with the Gators.

MD picked up 4 star WR kenny Tate(MD). thats 3 4-star WR's, now we need a QB...Terps

Did Maryland become a passing school all of a sudden?
