4* ATH DJ Singleton seems to be a guy we can get, it says 4* safety Elijah Shumate is good friends with QB Gary Nova who committed to RU this year, and it says Wayne Morgan (CB) is between really Penn St. and Miami, but USC and Rutgers are still very much in the mix.

any good sites where I can really get into the whole recruiting buzz and ****?

Another guy to look out for is Alvin Cornelius from Staten island. Big 6'2 WR who made a lot of buzz last year and is expected to have a huge season this upcoming fall. I hear he has a lot of interest in Rutgers.

DB class of Leggett, Howard, Willie Bailey and Deon Bush sounds decent.

Is he related to Lance?

Don't believe so.

We're going to need a really good season this year to start keeping the top talent in state.

what's the word on guys down in Florida? any liking RU? since Rutgers seems to get just as many Florida guys as we do NJ/NY guys

Also, don't forget that since we got Hafley our relationship with Don Bosco has improved immensely which is going to pay big dividends for us. Schiano and Toal didn't get along that well and he didn't want many of his kids going to Rutgers but that relationship seems to have been repaired. I'm not going to count us out of the Bosco players like I had to before Hafley arrived.

With the rich talent in their area, PSU has no excuses to not have a top 10 class this year.

Pat Sims 90 · 02-09-2011, 09:42 PM

Michigan fans are expecting a top ten class too based on how loaded the Midwest is this year, but it's still going to be difficult for a team who isn't regularly in the top ten to get there. You gotta figure that Alabama, Texas, LSU, Ohio State, and Florida State already have half of the top ten spots locked up. Auburn will probably finish with a top ten class coming off of a National Championship and I expect Florida to rebound in a big way. If USC can find enough scholarships to give (and I assume Kiffin doesn't have an issue with over-signing) then they will have a top ten class as well. Realistically, there isn't going to be many top ten spots up for grabs. I think Michigan and Penn State fans should aim for a top 15 class. Setting the bar any higher is likely going to lead to some disappointments.

after getting westerman auburn is trying its luck in arizona.

offered davonta neal 5-9 170 with ridiculous numbers.

Quote:

Neal had a huge junior season totaling 29 touchdowns and leading Chaparral to a 14-0 record and second-straight state championship. On offense, he had 37 receptions for 907 yards and 11 touchdowns and 59 carries for 551 yards and 12 touchdowns.

As a cornerback on defense, he added 22 tackles, nine pass breakups and five interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns. He also totaled 665 return yards and four more touchdowns.

annnd andrus peat the top OT 6-7 280. he already expressed interest back in jan around nat champ time.

Hines · 02-10-2011, 08:52 PM

You stay away from Neal!! I doubt Penn State gets Neal anyways.

Peat should be going to Nebraska.

critesy · 02-10-2011, 08:58 PM

neal would be so sexy with malzahn's offense mmmmmm :)

Quote:

In the fall of 2008, Clowney's sophomore year, then-Michigan assistant coach Tony Gibson was recruiting [CB Stephon] Gilmore. The Wolverines wanted him as a quarterback to run their zone read in Ann Arbor.

Let's recruit one of the top corners in the country- AND PUT HIM ON OFFENSE!

draftguru151 · 02-13-2011, 04:20 PM

FL QB Gray Crow commits to Miami.

He would be MUCH sexier in Chip Kellys offense....

Sniper · 02-14-2011, 03:00 PM

Who will be your team's next (or first, in some cases) next 2012 commit?

If I had to guess, I'd go with MI TE Ron Thompson for Michigan.

CashmoneyDrew · 02-14-2011, 03:03 PM

For the Vols I'd say the way it looks now MI DT Danny O'Brien will probably be the first.

Hines · 02-14-2011, 03:04 PM

One of Tommy Schutt, Eugene Lewis, Chrus Mueller, or JJ Denmann.

That would be greatly disappointing. I would prefer that Tennessee stops recruiting the state of Michigan.

thanks for the link hadnt seen this yet, after a quick glance through the qbs on the list matt davis and zeke pike whew they both have one hell of an offer list from tons of high profile schools

draftguru151 · 02-14-2011, 04:19 PM

I could see WR/ATH Ricardo Louis committing to UM soon, has a legit offer and is a big time Cane fan. Will probably be some random person though.

That would surprise me. Us Michigan fans have been lead to believe O'Brien isn't anywhere close to a decision.

critesy · 02-14-2011, 04:43 PM

AL RB/LB Beniquez Brown (6'2 205) might be AU's next commit.

M.O.T.H. · 02-14-2011, 05:15 PM

Not in love with the South Carolina in state prospects for 2012. I've been waiting too long for a premiere QB recruit for us. Ideally, one who is built for and who would excel in the spread option. Hopefully Tanner McEvoy can be this guy in a few years, but yeah, I really want to land a stud at QB this year.

They'll spend some time on Jameis Winston, but good luck with that.

I know they love that Nosovitch kid as well.

I'm purely guessing as I don't know his timetable, but UT was his first offer and he always talks about how much he loves it at UT and the family atmosphere. Also says we lead. Pure guess.

ToldLikeItIs · 02-14-2011, 07:54 PM

Amara Darboh will be Iowa's first commit.
