Chris Martin looks like a beast too, has some freakishly long arms. He is going to need to add a lot of weight though IMO before he can stay at DE full time.

Thanks BAMAFALCON
----------
PSU already has two commits for 2010, so I'd think we're only going to have 14-15...we'll have to be pretty damn selective.
Players Ithink we have a great shot at:
-PA OT Seth Betancourt (6'6 285) - think he could commit fairly early - verbally offered
-PA OG Luke Graham (6'5 265) - PSU fan - no offer
-PA DE/OLB Dakota Royer (6'3 225) - PSU fan - verbally offer
-PA WR Andrew Carswell (6'4 200) - not sure we offer, teammates with QB PJ - no offer
-PA TE-DE-DT Kyle Baublitz (6'4 260) - not sure he'll get an early written offer - verbally offered
-NY OG Daquan Jones (6'4 305) - coach telling him look hard at PSU, likes PSU - no offer
-NY DE Dominique Easley (6'3 255) - PSU got in on him fairly early...we'll see - no offer
-CT RB Silas Redd (5'11 190) - PSU fan, visiting March 27th-29th - verbally offered
-MD WR Adrian Coxson (6'2 185) - visiting March 7th, former PSU WR/1st round WR Bryant Johnson told him to send his film to the PSU coaches - verbally offered
-DE CB C.J./William Jones (5'11 165) - pretty high on BC's campus/education, close friends with '09 DE PSU WR commit Justin Brown, combined with our recruiting in DE, I think we can get him if we want him.
Little less confident:
-CT LB Khairi Fortt (6'2 220) - will have any offer he wants, ND just offered - verbally offered
-OH ATH Ray Vinopal (5'11 180) - ties to tOSU and Oklahoma, I think - no offer
-OH ATH Andre Givens (6'2 185), early top 5...probably subject to change - no offer
-OH ATH-CB Braylon Heard (5'11 170) - our guy thinks something doesn't add up here - claims PSU verbal offer
-OH ATH Alex Zordich (6'3 190) - PSU legacy...not sure we offer with limited #s
-PA ATH Anthony Gonzalez (6'3 195) - QB-ATH as #2 QB/S recruit probably - verbally offered
-PA ATH Alex Kenney (6' 190) - on campus Friday (2/6) for unofficial - verbally offered
-PA ATH Chad Hagan (6'1 215) - doubt we offer, Hull's teammate - no offer
-PA DT Shariff Floyd - tough pull....we'll see - no offer...staff has been on him
-PA ATH Brandon Ifill (6'1 185) - WR/DB...recruiting as WR/prefers DB - verbally offered
-PA CB Colton Charles - Central Dauphin...high on Oklahoma...we could offer - no offer
-PA LB Matt Heiling (6'5 190-195)- Central Dauphin...prolly an 'ATH', 4.6-4.7 40 - no offer
-CA WR Kenny Stills (6'2 170) - dad talks with PSU coaches, Wisconsin legacy - verbally offered
-VA DE Keevon Newsome (6'2 230) - not sure we offer...probably will though - no offer
-VA DT Evan Hailes (6'1 305) - don't know if PSU has interest/or if Evan has interest, could be big time - no offer
-VA WR Justin Hunter (6'4 175) - I've heard that he has a verbal offer from PSU
-VA DE/TE Chase Williams (6'3 235-ish) - Former Redskins DC Gregg Williams is his father, has been to PSU - no offer
-MD DE-DT Ego Ferguson (6'4 270) - would be an awesome addition - verbally offered
-MD FB-LB Zach Zwinak (6'1 225) - VT legacy - prolly be a devastating MLB - apparently verbally offered
-MD WR DeVante Stamps (6'2 185) - not sure how good he is/if we offer - no offer
-MD LB Nick Forbes (6'1 200) - wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at Wake - ?
-MD CB Louis Young (6'1 195) - already backed out of one commit, doubtful (IMO) - no offer
-TX S Cody Seaber (5'11 185) - no clue - no offer
-NJ WR Shakim Phillips (6'2 190) - PSU has been in touch - no offer
-NJ WR Terrance Casper (6'6 200) - I'm not sold - no offer
-NJ S Dontae Johnson (6'3 185) - no offer
-NJ CB Tejay Johnson - not sure his interest/if PSU will offer-possible grades? - no offer
-NC ATH Keenan Allen (6'2 185) - high on 'Bama, it appeared he would commit early but now it seems he will hold off a bit...already visited PSU for a game...seems interested - verbally offered
-MD OT Robbie Havenstein (6'7 310) - visited PSU for multiple games...prolly get Betancourt - ?
I personally think we're going to get (85% sure) these kids early on if all goes well - OT Seth Betancourt, OG Luke Graham (if/when we offer), DE/OLB Dakota Royer, RB Silas Redd, WR Adrian Coxson...those 5 in addition to the 2 we already have would probably secure a top 10 class unless we fall apart.
I'd put it even higher for Royer, Graham & Redd...those 3 will happen sooner or later (IMO). I think there are some domino's that can fall fairly early for us, and we'll see shortly (month or two). Sorry for SUCH A LONG POST, but I spaced each name so anyone that wanted to read my thoughts would be able to do so. :)

Henderson has told media that he likes the idea of being the cornerstone recruit for a program much like Arrelious Benn was for Illinois, Derrick Williams at the resurgence of Penn State, and other players of that nature. He's also been spotted wearing Gopher gear a ton and the new coach at Cretin (Scanlan) is much more into the Gophers than Bischoff ever was.
Ultimately I think it comes down to Minnesota, USC, and Notre Dame. With USC as my prediction as of now. But so many things can happen from now and then this is really just a crappy estimate.

As a USC fan I haven't heard anything about that, but I like it. I personally think he'll stay home and be a gopher, but pete will be in the minny area (this year and next recruiting), and If the talent is good I could see him doing package deals (or anything he can to get the best in that state).
How big is the guy, looked fast...but that was about it.

Alabama is the leader for Broadway. He will have to sit 3 years though behind our other stud QB's.

BACK to recruiting. Look for Bama to get an early committment from Keenan Allen soon. 3-peat here we come.

Hilarious how you keep talking about these recruiting National Championships. Who cares?
And if you really want to get technical, LSU was #1 overall in composite rankings.

Too bad when all this talent starts to grow, Nick Saban will be gone to another job!

And if you want to get more technical, Alabama has yet to even win a bowl game with these recruiting championships. He can enjoy Bama's last year of SEC West dominance, if they even have that with Ole Miss playing the way the have. After a year or two, LSU will be right back on top. I see Shepard becoming an electric player, but more as a versatile WR. Him and Randle will be a sick combo for you guys any way you slice it.

Well technically speaking Alabama was not even the #1 class last year, once the players who actually made the team were factored in. Just like they will not finish #1 this year either.

What's funny is you thinking I'm the one that takes it seriously but yet you care enough to PM me and then right posts about it all over the thread.
How about you left the boards and come back when your past the age of 12.
I'll go ahead and block you so I don't have to deal with this.

I don't think he commits early. I know he is an Alabama lean but he got that offer and didn't commit on the spot like some people were to think. I think Penn State has a decent shot at him.

Jake Matthews (2010 offensive lineman and son of HOF Bruce Matthews) is favoring "USC, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and maybe Texas". He has alot of family ties at USC (obviously) and his brother plays at A&M, but he's said things like "My goal is to make a name for myself and try to be the best I can from what I’ve been blessed with.” which makes me believe (atleast right now) that he doesn't want to be a "Legacy", and go somewhere else (probably UT,OU,STAN,UO,etc...). He isn't favoring anybody but the schools that he listed (USC/A&M/OU/UT) will probably be where he goes. I expect him to play with his brother at A&M.

LSU is going to make a run at him, bet your life on it, and when they do we'll see for sure where everything stands.
I'd take Broadway over AJ McCarron all day, btw. Broadway is the real deal. McCarron looks like he's 13

UT picked up 3 commits today, including the top DT in the state. Our first Junior Day is tomorrow and that's when Mack usually picks up the majority of commits.

Matthews will probably leave the state.
He doesn't want to be a "legacy" at A&M and Texas likes him, but I don't know if we will be offering any more O lineman this year. The plan was only to get one or two this year and we already got the #1 OL to commit...

So far:
WR - John Harris, prob a 4*
OL - Trey Hopkins, high 4* (will prob finish as a blue chip)
DT - Taylor Bible, prob a 4*
We also have many top players coming in for the first junior day. I think we will have in the low 20's tomorrow, including blue chips:
HB - Lache Seastrunk
DE - Reggie Wilson
DE - Jackson Jeffcoat
I think we can expect between 3-6 more commits tomorrow, but none of the above guys.

well if he does, his current offers (OOS) are Arkansas, Oregon, Oklahoma State, Stanford, USC. He has cousins at Oregon (one cousin currently playing) and USC(two cousins who played on the football team, one who was on the girls soccer team and is now pro, his dad Bruce, and his uncle Clay Jr.). Being a Matthews he's pretty much royalty at USC.

I figure Seastrunk will end up at Texas in the end, but man I'd love to have him.
