I knew about Royster a couple of days ago but I was still holding out hope it wasn't going to happen.

As for Buie every school but ECU and one other non BCS conf dropped their scholarship offers to him. He's very talented but he was almost expelled from high school this year and apparently he's major trouble. Rutgers didn't want him anymore.

Christian Westerman commits to Auburn.

Huge weekend for Ole Miss. Lots of big name visitors coming in, hopefully we can get a few.

Westerman to Auburn is great for them too, they need to work on re-tooling that OL.

with coaching changes and Miami and Florida, FSU is reaping the benefits big time. It's not hurting OSU too bad either since Ryan Shazier and Curtis Grant would certainly be Gators if Meyer didn't leave.
Coaching changes at Miami meant nothing to FSU for this class, the changes at Florida however helped a lot.

01-21-2011, 05:41 PM

well Miami sucking in the first place helped them. Miami used to get all the south florida kids they wanted.

MassNole

01-21-2011, 06:15 PM

It's been a long, long time since that was the case though. Starting in the mid 90's FSU got its claws into South Florida and then as FSU declined Florida took over with FSU now taking it back. Ultimately Miami was hurt significantly by the rise of the recruiting services with videos and Youtube. Now instead of having to travel to Florida to see these kids they readily can online and as such harvesting the unseen gems like an Ed Reed or Sean Taylor became that much harder. One good example from this cycle is Devonta Freeman, FSU secured his commitment before the season where he blew up. In the 80's-early 00's no one would have seen him and had Miami wanted him they would have had him with no competition really.

draftguru151

01-21-2011, 06:42 PM

Freeman isn't really a great example, I'm fairly sure he grew up in Georgia as an FSU fan, Joyner would probably be better. Randy not being a good HC is what helped FSU. Luckily the new guy kinda knows what he is doing. :)

Speaking of the new boss, big visit weekend for UM. Anthony Chickillo, George Farmer, Marqise Lee, Chris Barnett, Byron Moore, Patrick Onwuasor, Denzel Perryman, Antonio Poole, Elkino Watson, Kevin Sousa, Kaleb Johnson and David Moala are all visiting.

Don Vito

01-21-2011, 07:04 PM

Please don't take Mason!

I think he is ours, you guys have a bunch of RB's already and I think he doesn't want that many in his class. As metafour said I bet if you went after him harder he would be yours but if I had to bet I'd say Mason will be a Reb.

I'm not sure where I said I wouldn't, nor am I sure where I questioned their talent.

Just thought the drama queens comment was off and overreacted. Lynch I'll give you, but after hearing how everything went down with Tuitt, it sounds more like his coach trying to strong arm him into going to local state U instead of the kid deciding to flip on his own. The coach proclaiming that Tuitt was done and that he wouldn't have any more in home visits was a bit strange, and obviously didn't sit well with Mrs. Tuitt. For what I've been told, she's the one who scheduled the visit with the Irish coaches.

Hokemania's running wild on mediocre programs and their recruits, bitches!

First, OH DE/TE Keith Heitzman decommitted from Vanderbilt and committed to Michigan. He also had offers from schools like Illinois, Minnesota and Indiana. Heitzman is 6'4", 225-240 pounds depending on what site you believe.

Second, MI CB Raymon Taylor decommitted from Indiana and committed to Michigan today. Offers from Illinois, Iowa, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Wisconsin. Taylor is 5'10" and 175 pounds.

Don Vito

01-22-2011, 01:57 PM

Ya I know I'm probably not the only one who thinks this, but I feel like O'Leary is a bit overrated. I remember his HS school was playing on ESPN earlier this year and he wasn't crazy impressive at all for such a highly regarded recruit, on top of that his team lost and he flipped off the opposing team on national TV. I don't know a ton about recruiting, but he did not dominate the way a top recruit should and then he proceeded to look like an idiot after the game.

CashmoneyDrew

01-22-2011, 01:59 PM

Nick O'Leary looked small to me at the AA game for some reason.

Lamar Dawson forced that fumble on him and it makes me want him as a Vol that much more.

Don Vito

01-22-2011, 02:00 PM

Yeah I watched that game and I don't believe for a second he is 6-4 230 or whatever he is listed at.

01-22-2011, 02:04 PM

Hokemania picked up 2 more recruits today 3* DE/TE Keith Heiztmann, and reportedly 4* DB Ramon Taylor. They go along with another 3* CB from earlier this week Tamani Carter (who does have some nice tangibles).

Other visitors include 4* LB Leilon Willingham. 3* LB Frank Clark (out of Glennville), 4* DB Stefan McClure, AAA Kicker Matt Wile, and current commits Justice Hayes and Tony Posada.

According to Hayes, the visit went very well.

While not ground breaking news for Michigan, it's nice to see Hoke focusing on defensive players. Taylor reportedly decided Michigan was the place to be because Hoke personally came to visit him

CashmoneyDrew

01-22-2011, 02:08 PM

Yeah I watched that game and I don't believe for a second he is 6-4 230 or whatever he is listed at.

Looked more like 6'2 220. His arms looked short and smallish. Not to say I wouldn't want him on my team though.

Hopefully Cam Clear can keep his size in check and stay at tight end, at least until our numbers get better there.

01-22-2011, 02:08 PM

O'Leary's not small looking to me from when I've seen him, at least not for a guy about to start college. He is however a total douche. His grandfather is probably the most awesome person on the planet though.

draftguru151

01-22-2011, 02:14 PM

Yea I've never thought O'Leary was 6-4 but he is a baller. Not the best TE prospect in the past few years but a stud. Hopefully FSU uses him correctly.

LB Denzel Perryman starts off the big weekend and commits to Miami. And solid news CMD hopefully he commits soon. :D

Just curious, how do you know O'Leary is a douche? Based off his actions at one game?

people who know him say he's a douche and he pretty much confirms that by flipping the bird in Columbus at the crowd. They might be based on that same incident, but whatever.

MassNole

Even if went elsewhere I have a hard time holding those actions against him when the refs basically cheated. Funny how O'Leary got punished but the refs didn't.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Meet-the-best-player-in-America-Jadeveon-Clowney.html

Calling him the "best player in America." Pretty high praise. He took his official Bama visit last weekend & has allegedly been all the buzz there in the FB this wk.

Narrowed down to Bama, LSU, SCAR, Miami & Fla. St. but bleacherreport

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/576143-college-football-recruiting-2011-predictions-breaking-news-and-updates/entry/42781-jadeveon-clowney-top-ranked-recruit-in-class-of-2011-will-end-up-at-alabama

has Clemson & Ohio St. in the mix as well. They also say it's down to Bama & SCAR, if so I think SCAR would have the inside track since he's from Rocky Point, SC.

He might declare on the National Signing Day of 2/2, but his birthday is Feb. 14th so he says he will save it 12 more days & declare then. Just checked the list of commits, Quinton Dial (6-6, 315) from E. Miss CC is the only DE committed in this incoming class so far, Saban would love to reload the DL with Dial & Clowney on either side of incoming Juco AA NT Jesse Williams in his 3-4.

01-22-2011, 04:41 PM

Hey DV, any specifics on how Tre Mason's visit went?

It's still going on but word is he could publicly commit to Ole Miss before the weekend is up, apparently we've done very well this weekend. 5-star LB CJ Johnson, top 100 WR Nick Brassell, top 100 safety Gerald Holliman, 4 star corner Jermaine Whitehead, and 4 star corner Andrew Johnson could also commit before the weekend. That would be pretty awesome for Ole Miss, we want all of these guys bad and could really use a RB like Mason.

Getting 3 star players to decommit from Minnesota and Vanderbilt shouldn't be too hard if you're Michigan.

The fact is that he didn't have much time to work with and it was considered a miracle for Hoke to save this class. When next year comes around he will be able to target the big players.

Who would have considered it a miracle? Do you know what the word "fact" means? That's an opinion, and a rather silly one at that. If fans think picking off mediocre recruits from lower-tier programs constitutes "saving", then expectations at Michigan may have just sunk to a new low.

Also, the "not much time to work with" argument flies right out the window when you consider that Minnesota and Vanderbilt both have new coaching staffs as well.

There's nothing even remotely impressive about what was happened so far, no matter the shine you want to put on it. Give Hoke time, of course, but your original comment was unjustified.

There is a good amount of Michigan fans that were writing this class off as a lost one. Considering we only had around seven commits when Hoke was hired a lot of people didn't think he would be able to fill up the class, but at the rate he keeps going it looks like he might be able to get about 15 to 20 commits.

Also, the "not much time to work with" argument flies right out the window when you consider that Minnesota and Vanderbilt both have new coaching staffs as well.

Jerry Kill was hired on December 6th and James Franklin was hired on December 17th, while Brady Hoke was hired on January 11th. Brady Hoke has about only three weeks to get a class together while the other two have one and a half to two months to get a class together. So no my argument doesn't go out the window since the other two have twice as long. I'm not saying it would be easy for them, but they still have more time then Hoke. I personally wish Hoke was hired sooner (so do other people), then maybe we could have concentrated on getting some of the better players before they started committing.

There's nothing even remotely impressive about what was happened so far, no matter the shine you want to put on it. Give Hoke time, of course, but your original comment was unjustified.

How was it unjustified? So I can't get at least somewhat excited about Michigan scoring some recruits this late in the game? I never expected us to start scoring a bunch of 4 or 5 star recruits. So far Hoke has Tamani Carter 3* DB, Raymon Taylor 4* DB, Matt Wile 2* K, and Keith Heitzman 3* TE/DE. Hoke is hitting positions that we need, especially in the secondary. I'm also hoping Matt Wile can be good for us since our field goal kicking seemed non existent last year.

Byron Moore commits to Miami! Man today is gonna be awesome.

LizardState

01-23-2011, 09:38 AM

Chris Nee from rivals.com -- The Top 25 classes, can't find the link:

My take: SCAR has the most total commits (30), will go to stock way up if they land Clowney.

Stanford stock down b/c Harbaugh left for the NFL & Lane Kiffin immediately poached Carlisle & Sarao.

Surprises here are Clemson, kudos to the great job Dabo Swinney is doing, & USC (b/c they're still on probation w/ limited scholarships) & Oklahoma at #12, most polls have them #1 gong into the fall season.

I think Jarvis Landry may be related to Laron Landry of the Redskins, but the name Landry is as common as Smith in the Pelican State.

Biggest name poach IMO is OL Westerman stolen from Texas by Auburn.

Getting more DLs is crucial for Les Miles reloading at LSU, as is landing Kouandjio at my school Alabama b/c DJ Fluker is not living up to expectations at ORT & the Tide, losing 4 of the starting front 5, needs quality OLs badly.

Chris Nee
Recruiting Analyst

Alabama overtook the top spot in the team recruiting rankings from Texas on Friday, but will it be a temporary stay?

A closer look at the current standings in the rankings reveals several potential moves at or near the top.

Team Rankings Top 25
1. Alabama
Stock: UP
Total commits: 21 Alabama's class is led by a pair of five-star prospects, one on each side of the ball, in safety Hasean Clinton-Dix and all-purpose back Demetrius Hart. Nick Saban has shown in his time in Tuscaloosa that the Crimson Tide will close strong and they are aiming to do that one again in 2011. The top target likely to announce for Alabama between now and Signing Day is offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio.
Top remaining targets: OT Cyrus Kouandjio, DE Jadeveon Clowney, RB Isaiah Crowell
2. Texas
Stock: DOWN
Total commits: 22 As has become routine, Mack Brown and Texas have this class nearly completed with less than two weeks remaining before Signing Day. The crown jewel of the class is five-star running back Malcolm Brown. Texas did not retain the commitment of offensive tackle Christian Westerman as he made the switch to the National Champion Auburn Tigers on Friday. With not much space left and the teams immediately on their heels looking to add more, it will be tough for the Longhorns to retain the No. 2 spot in the rankings.
Top remaining targets: DE Brandon Alexander, DE Jermauria Rasco
3. LSU
Stock: UP
Total commits: 21 LSU has a trio of five-stars topping its class, all of whom are in-state prospects - offensive tackle La'El Collins, defensive tackle Anthony Johnson, and wide receiver Jarvis Landry. The remaining focus of the class will be on the defensive side of the ball, specifically the front seven, and coach Les Miles is looking to land a few of the nation's best in those spots.
Top remaining targets: DT Timmy Jernigan, DE Ray Drew, DE Jermauria Rasco, LB C.J. Johnson, OT Antonio Richardson
4. Florida State
Stock: WAY UP
Total commits: 22 Jimbo Fisher and company did a very good job stocking up their class during the early portion of the process, specifically when they brought in five-star running back James Wilder Jr. and five-star safety Karlos Williams. Down the stretch they have a legitimate shot to land at least two prospects who are considered the top player at their position in the nation - tight end Nick O'Leary and outside linebacker Tony Steward.
Top remaining targets: LB Tony Steward, TE Nick O'Leary, DE Jermauria Rasco, DT Timmy Jernigan, DE Jadeveon Clowney, DT Elkino Watson, LB Arrington Jenkins
5. USC
Stock: WAY UP
Total commits: 25 Lane Kiffin and company haven't allowed NCAA sanctions to put a cramp in their recruiting. The Trojans are once again assembling a top class which is currently led by wide receiver George Farmer and athlete De'Anthony Thomas. The Trojans have cast a wide net in hopes of adding a few more pieces to their class down the stretch.
Top remaining targets: ATH Marqise Lee, WR Junior Pomee, CB Ryan Henderson, OG Cyrus Hobbi, OT Troy Niklas, LB Denzel Perryman
6. Oregon
Stock: UP
Total commits: 20 Oregon's class is strong at the top, led by five-star athlete Colt Lyerla. The Ducks also did a good job of going into California to snag wide receiver Devon Blackmon and defensive back Ifo Ekpre-Olomu. With Chip Kelly's squad looking to return to the national title game, they are looking to add even more depth and talent over the next two weeks.
Top remaining targets: LB Lamar Dawson, DT Delvon Simmons, ATH Marqise Lee, DT Christian Heyward, DE Branden Jackson, DE Lake Koa-Ka'ai
7. Notre Dame
Stock: UP
Total commits: 23 Brian Kelly's class at Notre Dame got a shot in the arm recently when the Irish were able to swing two former commitments back their way - defensive end Aaron Lynch from Florida State and defensive end Stephon Tuitt from Georgia Tech. The class is led by their haul on the defensive front, which in addition to Lynch and Tuitt also includes five-star Ishaq Williams. With their class nearly complete, they will look to add one or two more pieces before Signing Day most likely.
Top remaining targets: RB Savon Huggins, OT Troy Niklas
8. Auburn
Stock: UP
Total commits: 19 The National Champions are likely to have a furious closing where they steal many headlines like they did during the 2010 season. In recent weeks, Gene Chizik and company already landed five-star linebacker Kris Frost and stole away Brent Calloway from Alabama. They were able to pull Christian Westerman away from Texas and down the stretch they will look to snag Texas Tech commitment Marcus Roberson, as well as others.
Top remaining targets: CB Marcus Roberson, TE Brandon Fulse, DE Ray Drew, RB Isaiah Crowell, LB Tre Mason, DT Gabe Wright, LB Devaunte Sigler, S Erique Florence, OT Antonio Richardson
9. Clemson
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 24 Clemson is looking to reload its roster in 2011 and they have done that with their recruiting class, especially at certain offensive positions. At wide receiver the class is led by Sammy Watkins. An equally electric player to Watkins is running back Mike Bellamy, a fellow five-star. Down the stretch, Dabo Swinney and company are hoping to add some five-star firepower on defense as well.
Top remaining targets: DE Jadeveon Clowney, LB Stephone Anthony, DT Phillip Dukes, LB Tony Steward, DE Ray Drew, LB Brandon Ellerbe, TE Jerell Adams
10. Georgia
Stock: UP
Total commits: 21 The Bulldogs have talked throughout the process of landing a 'Dream Team', largely consisting of Peach State products. So far, they have kept talent such as defensive back Malcolm Mitchell, Jay Rome, Damian Swann and Sterling Bailey home, but down the stretch it will be pivotal for Mark Richt and company to reel in some top-flight in-state prospects, most notably five-star running back Isaiah Crowell and five-star defensive end Ray Drew.
Top remaining targets: LB Kent Turene, RB Isaiah Crowell, DE Ray Drew, DE Johnathan Jenkins
11. Ohio State
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 21 The Buckeyes 2011 signing class will be led by a trio of high ranking four-star prospects - quarterback Braxton Miller, defensive tackle Michael Bennett, and defensive back Doran Grant. It could be capped off by the addition of one of the nation's elite prospects, linebacker Curtis Grant. The five-star inside linebacker is very high on Florida and Ohio State, with North Carolina and Virginia also in the picture.
Top remaining targets: LB Curtis Grant, ATH Darius Jennings, OG Aundrey Walker, QB Cardale Jones
12. Oklahoma
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 16 Bob Stoops once again dipped into Texas and landed a few of the nation's best prospects, specifically wide receiver Trey Metoyer and running back Brandon Williams, both of whom have been awarded five-star status. The Sooners were recently dealt a blow when Brandon Carter switched his commitment to TCU. At this time, it seems the 2011 class may be completed for the powerhouse based in Norman.
Top remaining targets: None
13. North Carolina
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 22 The Tar Heels have loaded up on a class of 22 prospects, with a focus in-state and out-of-state. The in-state haul was led by quarterback Marquise Williams, wide receiver T.J. Thorpe, defensive tackle Devonte Brown, and linebacker Travis Hughes. Butch Davis also went to Virginia to land offensive lineman Landon Turner and Indiana for offensive lineman Kiaro Holts. The Tar Heels hope to bring in a few more players before the dust settles as well.
Top remaining targets: RB Savon Huggins, CB Samuel Smiley, LB Stephone Anthony, LB Curtis Grant, DT Phillip Dukes, DE Max Issaka, LB Keeon Virgile
14. Texas Tech
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 25 The Red Raiders got huge news earlier this week when four-star defensive back Marcus Roberson committed. Now, they just have to stave off the efforts of Auburn and others to change his mind. Roberson is joined at the top of the class by tight end Jace Amaro. Roberson isn't the only commitment they must work to retain, four-star running back Kenny Williams and other commitments are also looking at options down the stretch. Also, look for Tommy Tuberville and company to try to add some more on defense.
Top remaining targets: ATH Frankie Williams, DE Branden Jackson, DT Delvon Simmons, DE Desimon Green, DE Bryant Dubose, TE Brandon Fulse
15. Nebraska
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 17 Offensive lineman Tyler Moore and running back Aaron Green headline the Cornhuskers haul in 2011. The Huskers best chance of landing another highly ranked player is likely defensive tackle Todd Peat Jr.. In addition to Peat, they are in the thick of things with numerous other targets who can help strengthen the overall haul brought in by Bo Pelini and staff.
Top remaining targets: DT Todd Peat Jr., TE Darien Bryant, DE Joseph Carter, WR Aaron Ernest, DE Lake Koa-Ka'Ai, LB Keeon Virgile, K Matt Wile
16. California
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 18 The Golden Bears have loaded up on in-state talent to put together a solid list of commitments. Amongst their best prospect are defensive tackles Mustafa Jalil and Viliami Moala, defensive end Todd Barr, and running back Brendon Bigelow. Out of state, Jeff Tedfordsnagged the likes of defensive end Brennan Scarlett from Oregon, defensive back Avery Walls from Virginia, and offensive lineman Matt Williams from North Dakota. An addition or two is possible, but not more than that.
Top remaining targets: CB Kameron Jackson
17. Tennessee
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 21 Derek Dooley and his staff have added four major additions since the start of November, all four prospects are considered four-star talent - offensive lineman Marcus Jackson, defensive tackle Maurice Couch, wide receiver DeAnthony Arnett, and athlete Izauea Lanier. As far as current commitments, the Vols are in a fight to retain the services of linebacker A.J. Johnson, who the Florida Gators are pursuing heavily. The Vols will look to add even more pieces down the stretch with a lot of open prospects still on their radar.
Top remaining targets: LB Lamar Dawson, DT Mickey Johnson, DE Leon Mackey, LB Curt Maggitt, DT Gabe Wright, RB Marlin Lane, S Byron Moore, TE Brandon Fulse, RB Andrew Buie, OL Cameron Clear, OT Antonio Richardson
18. Florida
Stock: DOWN
Total commits: 15 After undergoing a drastic change to their coaching staff since the conclusion of the 2010 season, the Gators have done a fair job of retaining their commitment list. The class is led by the top quarterback in the nation, Jeff Driskel, and a versatile offensive athlete in running back Mike Blakely. Over the final two weeks, Will Muschamp will look to work a little magic and close strong with his first class in Gainesville.
Top remaining targets: DT Timmy Jernigan, CB Marcus Roberson, DE Anthony Chickillo, DE Johnathan Jenkins, DE Tevin Westbrook, OT Jacob Fisher, WR Junior Pomee, LB Denzel Perryman, LB A.J. Johnson, LB Stephone Anthony, LB Curtis Grant, DT Elkino Watson
19. South Carolina
Stock: UP
Total commits: 30 Steve Spurrier is once again bringing a lot of prospects into Columbia. The class is led by two trenchmasters, defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles and offensive lineman Brandon Shell. With nearly a loaded class, spots will be limited down the stretch but the Gamecocks are still likely to land the No. 1 prospect in the nation, Jadeveon Clowney, and another prospect or two.
Top remaining targets: DE Jadeveon Clowney, DT Phillip Dukes, TE Jerell Adams, LB Cedrick Cooper, ATH Ahmad Christian, DE Roderick Byers, DT Leon Mackey
20. Arkansas
Stock: DOWN
Total commits: 27 Arkansas has already loaded up for 2011, landing 28 commitments. Despite that hefty number of commitments the staff is still welcoming numerous prospects on campus over the final two weekends and adjustments will happen in the class. The top of the group includes two in-state commitments, quarterback Brandon Allen and offensive lineman Brey Cook. They also did well in the Lone Star State luring away tight end Chris Barnett and defensive back Tevin Mitchel.
Top remaining targets: ATH Desmond Roland, ATH Anthony Pierson, ATH Brandon Swindall, LB Kiero Small, CB Michael Hunter, TE Dillon van der Wal, TE Jerell Adams, WR Kane Whitehurst, TE Andrew Peterson, RB Tarek Odom, DT Mickey Johnson
21. Stanford
Stock: DOWN
Total commits: 18 Jim Harbaugh's departure from Palo Alto led to a couple bits of bad news for Stanford on the recruiting front, as USC raided The Farm and stole outside linebacker Anthony Sarao and all-purpose back Amir Carlisle. Despite those losses, the Cardinals still have a Top 25 class behind the strength of linebacker James Vaughters, safety Wayne Lyons, offensive lineman Brendon Austin, defensive end Charlie Hopkins, and wide receiver Ty Montgomery. They will look to fill the spots made void by departures over the next couple weekends.
Top remaining targets: DE Lake Koa-Ka'Ai, CB Ronnie Harris, OT Troy Niklas, CB Jermaine Whitehead
22. Ole Miss
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 25 Houston Nutt has successfully kept four of the top in-state prospects home, landing wide receivers Donte Moncrief and Tobias Singleton, as well as offensive lineman Aaron Morris and athlete Cody Prewitt. Ole Miss was dealt a blow when Miami (Fla.) Southridge duo of Andrew Johnson and Gerod Holliman decommitted, eventually switching to Louisville. This weekend, they get another shot at the duo in hopes of luring them back to the Rebels. They aren't the only targets still out there for the Rebels either, as they are still after in-state targets such as five-star linebacker C.J. Johnson.
Top remaining targets: LB Cedrick Cooper, DT Donald Pennington, WR Nickolas Brassell, S Gerod Holliman, CB Andrew Johnson, LB C.J. Johnson, RB Tre Mason, WR Josh Pinkston, ATH Joe Price, DT Walton Taumoepeau
23. Louisville
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 23 Charlie Strong has sent a clear message at Louisville, he is going to after the best prospects possible regardless of location or competition. He has had a successful haul in Florida, specifically South Florida, landing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, wide receiver Eli Rogers as well as defensive backs[/db]Andrew Johnson[/db] and Gerod Holliman from there. In state, he also lured four-star quarterback DaMarcus Smith. Look for the Cardinals to work to retain what they have, and add three to four more.
Top remaining targets: DT Elkino Watson, OG Spencer Region, OG Kaleb Johnson, TE Benson Browne, DE Bryant Dubose, RB Alonzo Harris, RB Trayion Durham.
24. TCU
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 25 Texas Christian surged to the Top 25 this past week with some big news. Four-star defensive tackle Chuck Hunter committed. Then three-star defensive tackle Jon Lewis switched from Texas Tech to the Horned Frogs. The switching wasn't over as three-star defensive back Brandon Carter (Oklahoma) and three-star offensive lineman Carter Wall (SMU) also made the move. As for the remainder of their class, look for the Horned Frogs to possibly add one more prospect.
Top remaining targets: DE Brandon Alexander
25. Washington
Stock: EVEN <-->
Total commits: 22 Steve Sarkisian is becoming a royal pain to USC, UCLA, Cal and others in California, while also doing a good job at keeping in-state talent at home. A recent switch of defensive end Stephan Nembot from Washington State and commitment from WR Marvin Hall has the Huskies hanging onto a spot in the top 25.
Top remaining targets: CB Kameron Jackson, RB Bishop Sankey, OG Akeem Gonzales

that rivals article is off.
Top targets: Sankey, Brissett, and Asiata are the big names left. Jackson Committed and Gonzales dropped UW.

Sark has been publicly vocal about not bringing in QB's that he couldn't see being successful as a college QB and as a pro, meaning he has had a tough time even thinking about having a backup plan level QB on his roster.

Brissett is visiting UW before signing day, so they are definitely in the mix and the future UW pipeline of QB's will continue.

I'm guessing he's a silent commit but it got out from another recruit. Apparently he didn't have an committable offer until last night (wtf!) and took it when he got it.

Also Anthony Chickillo (along with Perryman) recruited for Miami all weekend and is expected to reaffirm his commitment today. There were rumors last week he was flipping to UF.

There is a good amount of Michigan fans that were writing this class off as a lost one. Considering we only had around seven commits when Hoke was hired a lot of people didn't think he would be able to fill up the class, but at the rate he keeps going it looks like he might be able to get about 15 to 20 commits.why fill the class up with scrubs who wouldn't see the field at Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin.......the teams Michigan is supposed to be competing with?

ironman4579

01-24-2011, 08:38 AM

To be fair, according to Rivals, Wile had a Nebraska offer, Carter had Iowa and Stanford offers, and Taylor had an offer from Iowa and Wisconsin.

I'd also say Michigan isn't in much danger of filling up the class. Even with four recent commits, that still only takes Michigan to 14. It will take a decent push just to use the last six or seven scholarships.

And really, let's not act like OSU, Penn State and Wisconsin somehow only take 4 and 5 star studs. Michigan currently has four 4*'s and nine 3*'s. Per Rivals OSU has twelve 3*'s (but nine 4*'s), while Wisconsin has fifteen 3*'s and only three 4*'s. Penn State only has five 4*'s and seven 3*'s. While OSU is always going to have great recruiting classes, it's not like Penn State and Wisconsin are exactly setting the world on fire.

Your pickup of Pierson last week really could make this class. I wanted him back at Mizzou. There are rumors that his scholly was pulled but I don't know if they are true or not. He was the most electric kid in the state this year and I don't look forward to facing him the next 4 years.

draftguru151

01-24-2011, 10:30 AM

Well according to his profile, it says St. Thomas Aquinas QB Jake Rudock will make his final decision soon. My guess is that means he's going to switch from Iowa to Miami.

Sucks since he has told us all along that he was solid in his commitment to us and turned down Miami offers for an official visit. Also sucks that we haven't been looking at any other QBs for this year, so if he switches with like 3 weeks to go we're kinda screwed at QB for this class.

Oh well, hope I'm wrong but it certainly doesn't look good.

Jumping the gun a bit, he's still strongly committed to Iowa atm. The QB recruiting situation is pretty fluid right now, I think the new OC is meeting with Brissett this week and depending on how that goes things will start to unfold with Rudock and Sousa. It really seems like Rudock wants to stick with Iowa.

I would have loved to get Pierson if we didn't already pick up Coe and McCall.

But I'm pretty sure both Iowa and Illinois stopped recruiting him because of grades, so I don't know if that's a major problem or not, but at least enough of one that they both just said no thanks despite how talented he is.

Yea, after reading some stuff, it looks like Miami is looking at some other QBs as well still.

Like I said, I really hope he sticks, but unless the Miami rivals page is just stirring the pot, the fact that they are reporting Rudock will "make a final decision soon" worries me because why would he need to make a final decision if he's solid with Iowa and had no intentions of visiting Miami. Just a weird feeling...

Let's not act like the recruiting scenarios are exactly the same. Ohio State is coming off their 931st straight Big 10 title. Wisconsin also won the last title. Penn State isn't coming off a 15-22 three-year stretch. It's going to take some time to get the on-field product back to where it should be.

I personally am not trying to go overboard, BUT I do give Hoke a lot of credit for being able to take a class that was in shambles and from the looks of it will end up with a respectable class. Not a great class filled with blue chippers and All-Americans, but a decent class for a guy who will have been on the job for 3 weeks, and still does not have a full staff.

Michigan's Rivals class is reporting that there are atleast 2 (more than likely 3) silent commits to Michigan that want to wait to make their announcements public.

That's why I am happy. Hoke and his staff have gone balls to the wall in recruiting. Something I really don't think Rod ever did

I think Crowell is more of a pure WILL in our system and very athletic and quicker. Price is a bigger, bowling ball type linebacker who is more of a downhill player but is a real explosive blitzer and instinctive gap-filler. I like Price better, but am really excited about all our of linebackers this year, they are all really athletic guys who can blitz and cover. Curtis Grant is supposed to sign with us too and he's possibly the best LB in the country.

With his size at 6'0 230 you don't think he will get consumed by a Wisky oline like our entire front seven did in '10? Assuming he's actually 6'0 230 and not actually 5'10 220 like Brian Rolle? And Grant is supposed to sign with? I've read on BP that Florida is also a strong contender for his services as well. You really like our chances with him right now given OSU's history with late-committing recruits?

With his size at 6'0 230 you don't think he will get consumed by a Wisky oline like our entire front seven did in '10? Assuming he's actually 6'0 230 and not actually 5'10 220 like Brian Rolle? And Grant is supposed to sign with? I've read on BP that Florida is also a strong contender for his services as well. You really like our chances with him right now given OSU's history with late-committing recruits?

I really want Aundrey Walker also.

the buzz right now is that Florida has fallen out of favor and that Virginia or North Carolina might even be in 2nd place ahead of them. Rumors that he's told a couple of our commits that he'll sign with us and other things like that. Looking really good.

I have to say, I'm somewhat shocked (and happy) that Michigan will probably end up with a top 25 class after the disaster this class was looking like it would be.

Here's what I don't get. Auburn told Kris Frost that they didn't have room for him at the Army game. Then, they accept his commitment a little while later. Fine, whatever, do your thing.

Since Frost's commitment, Auburn landed commitments from Christian Westerman, Devaunte Sigler and Tre Mason. If they didn't have room for Frost at the time, how did they magically make room for these three kids?

No clue. I'm assuming it's either cause they were after a different LB (or WR, whatever he plays) and missed, or because he's adamant about playing WR.

I know when Frost committed, he said something about Auburn saying he could play WR at the beginning, but that they think he should be a LB and that he'll probably end up there (or something along those lines). He said he liked that they were honest with him. Could his offer have been rescinded because of his desire to play WR?

I never understood it when it happened, let alone now. Thought it was pretty arrogant of them to deny a player of that caliber. Thought it was even dumber of Frost to commit to them on national TV despite them saying that they wouldn't accept. Perfect couple as far as I'm concerned.

Pretty fishy, all around, but I think Chizik is fishy anyway, so I didn't really pay much heed to it.

long long story. but sigler already had a spot on the team essentially. and mason had a spot on the team already if other rb prospects fell through. westerman was a prospect we were going take and make room for if he switched (turns out we didnt have to make room). kris frost was a player with mixed emotions and we werent going to take him if he wasnt fully committed to auburn while still thinking of who michigan hired and etc. so auburn waited to meet with him. some other people who AU was going after fell through and opened a spot for him.

TitanHope

Yes. Auburn is already under the 85 limit and can enroll a full class.

You have the data to back that up?

Because according to Rivals, these are Auburn's past 3 class sizes:

2010: 32
2009: 28
2008: 29

That's, in only 3 classes, a total of 89 players. Auburn currently sits at 21 recruits, but lets say they take the full 25 players.

That's 114 players over 4 recruitings classes!

Where did the 29 player attrition come from? We can subtract 2 because of Cam Newton and Darvin Adams declaring (Fairley was an '07 recruit), but that's the only class capable of declaring, so no more make-ups from the NFL Draft. There's now a 27 player difference that had to come from somewhere, and the majority of which came during a 3 year span. It's hard for me to believe that 27 players were signed but never enrolled because they didn't have the grades.

A guy that's been spot on calling recruits for Tennessee in the past two classes is saying Byron Moore will be a Cane and Gabe Wright has told Tennessee coaches he's going to be a Vol.

Ealey has off field issues and was suspended for a game last year. He has regressed after his freshman year. King was suspended for the bowl game last year due to poor grades. Malcome didn't play at all last year.

None of those guys is a surefire starter and when Crowell commits to UGA, he is the starter from day one or atleast will share the majority of snaps with Ealey. He definitely will get more playing time at Georgia than he would get at Alabama with Richardson and Lacy in the mix or at Auburn with McCalebb, Dyer and Mason.

If Crowell wants to have big playing time early, his best bet is UGA.

Does Ohio State have any walk-ons on scholarship that won't be renewed next year? According to oversigning.com the Buckeyes have no scholarships left to give, but that was before Sam Longo left so they should now have one to give but they are expecting at least two more commitments. Not trying to troll, just curious as to where the extra spot is coming from.

Nic DiLillo is likely leaving the program, and there are strong rumors that James Jackson is gonna transfer after the winter quarter. As you mentioned Longo left, and there might be some guys like Evan Blankenship who doesn't stick around for a 5th year since they are graduated and have been bottom dwellers on the depth chart. Also Adam Griffin (archie's son) was given a scholarship last year after signing day, but some people think that it might be a one year deal or maybe a two year deal to throw a bone to a legacy because they had an extra schollie, but that isn't for sure. We're only gonna sign like 2 or 3 more guys (Curtis Grant and Aundrey Walker with a poor chance of Darius Jennings too). I would be surprised if we didn't have less than 85 guys on scholarship by summertime.

Thanks for the data, Critesy! It wasn't totally accurate for me to look at the totals numbers and add them up, since some guys are JUCO guys or guys who get counted twice since they may not be able to make the grades initially and go to prep school for a year.

I'm against oversigning. I desperately hope Dooley refrains from it, and I would think he would considering all the reports of his good character, but he's a Saban disciple so I have worries. Last year's recruiting class was 27 (technically 24, as 3 didn't qualify - 2 were JUCO guys, who didn't qualify their second chance so they're completely done. HS recruit Eddrick Loften still has a chance to make it.), and this year he'll sign 25+, but the attrition rate that occurred between Phillip Fulmer-to-Lane Kiffin-to-Derek Dooley was so significant that this is out of necessity. Kiffin alone flat out released about a dozen players. I don't even think the Vols had 85 scholarship players on roster this past season, so hopefully when people see the numbers, they'll attribute it to how behind the 8-ball they are rather than greed.

But yeah, to me it's crazy that elite programs like Alabama, LSU, and Auburn have to utilize this tactic when they would make bank in recruiting regardless. It's a black mark on the conference as far as I'm concerned, and until some teams correct it, it's hard for me to join in the "SEC! SEC! SEC!" bro-fest, unless it's just to annoy Sniper or WB24! :D

The teams are doing this well because they practice oversigning.

LSU was not a national power prior to oversigning (aka Saban).

Auburn has surged from pretty good to awesome since oversigning.

Bama was obviously one of the top programs before they bought Albert Means. And they oversigned to replace the damage that was done with their punishment.

Anyone who argues that it doesn't help a bunch is being ingenuous. If it doesn't help, they wouldn't do it. I won't even get into the ethics of it.

Remember Nebraska and all of the Prop 48 kids they used? The NCAA had to close the loophole that they abused.

This too will pass with oversigning. Probably with something ok, but not ideal, like an 85 roster limit at signing day (i.e. if you lose a player after that day, you can't add any new ones.)

I would have to think a mixture of both. Every time anyone reviewed his game, they always mentioned how great of a receiver he was.

http://michigan.scout.com/a.z?s=162&p=8&c=1&nid=3986961

Not just a good receiver for a RB, Hart is a good receiver period. Despite his size, he is a tough, durable runner that could be a 25 carry a game running back, but is also a good enough receiver to play full time in the slot. He elevates extremely well, making himself a bigger target.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/michigan/football/recruiting/player-Demetrius-Hart-93883

Hart has shown the ability to be a very good pass receiver out of the backfield, and is a threat as a punt returner.

There are several other evals out there that praise his receiving skills.

Exciting player no doubt; but he reminds me of Auburn's Onterrio McCalebb in the sense that he's a gadget type player who you're going to have to exploit in certain situations. Thats not the description I want for a 5-star running back.

Chris Johnson minus like 30lbs. I'd be shocked if he weighed more than 155lbs. I have a hard time ranking a RB that frail as a 5-star. He looked noticeably tiny at the Under Armour game.

Bellamy is a 5-star player for this reason alone......All-Time rusher in the state of Florida.

IMO This is the year of the ATH

James Wilder Jr.
De'Anthony Thomas
Kris Frost
Quan Bray
Devon Blackmon

Don't forget the man, the myth, the legend, Brian Urlacher Jr... Colt Lyerla. He even looks like Urlacher.

Do you have an advantage of being an ATH or does it hurt you more than other players because you do not have a true position?

Pagan might not ever play a down of CFB. That knee injury is serious. There are some rumors Clemson dropped his scholly.

Troy Niklas down to ND and USC. Huggins announces today, hopefully he shocks everyone and picks ND. Not bashing any other teams, but he says he wants to play for a national championship and win a heisman. UNC is going to be under sanctions, and I dont think Rutgers will be in contention for a national title in the next couple years.

Georgia talk of a "Dream Team Class" is taking form. Now if Crowell and John Jenkins follow then Richt is looking at his best recruiting class ever. Much needed infusion of talent after some average classes for UGA.

I believe he stays with the home team. I wouldn't be surprised if he chose Notre Dame though.

Max Issaka to Rutgers. Huggins announcement within the next 20 minutes. Please pick Rutgers or I'm going on a drinking binge tonight. Whoops I just saw Scotty's post. He suprised me posting here. I love you Scotty.

As opposed to "pick Rutgers and I'm going on a drinking celebration tonight" ?

Exactly. Either way the night ends up with me being drunk.

dont know yet. Schiano still has a man crush on white power Jersey Joe Martinek. I personally love Deantwan Williams too. we'll see though, a lot of it might be with the new OC

Martinek is done. He'll get at most 5 carries a game. I'd like to see a Rocket/Huggins/Turner combo myself.

Wow, long snapper Bryce Haynes commits to Ohio State. Big upset, everyone thought that he was gonna pick Notre Dame for sure. Probably the most sought after longsnapper I've ever seen in recruiting.
