College Football Recruiting (2011 Class) Discussion

DeToxRox · 02-04-2010, 02:39 PM

Michigan has two commitments, both of which are DB's. Greg Brown from Ohio and Delonte Hollowell from MI. Brown is probably a high 3* and Hollowell a high 3 to low 4.

Michigan is also expected go get commitments from DE Brennan Beyer and OL Anthony Zettel within the next month or so. Both will be top 5 kids in Michigan next year.

cschex · 02-04-2010, 03:22 PM

As posted in other thread, LSU has 7 verbals for 2011
OT La'el Collins (considered to be in contention for top overall prospect for 2011)
DT Anthony Johnson
WR Jarvis Landry
RB Kenny Hilliard
RB Jeremy Hill
RB Terrance Magee
OL Corey White

Collins and Johnson are 5* locks, Landry and Hilliard could be 5* players, the rest will most likely end up as 4*. LSU should get 4-5 more verbal commits from in state players in the next month, all who would be 4* candidates.

DaddyTorgo · 02-04-2010, 03:36 PM

2011 already? really? sillyness

Eaglesfan27 · 02-04-2010, 04:10 PM

USC got their first 2011 commit yesterday, DT Antuwan Woods.

dawgfan · 02-04-2010, 04:25 PM

Washington got a commit from a California speedster by the name of Brandon Bigelow last month. He's coming off of a knee injury, and since Washington was the first school to step up with an offer despite his injury, he committed.

The big fish in-state for 2011 is a WR by the name of Kasen Williams, a kid who was the top target of QB Jake Heaps this year. Williams is the son of a former UW WR from the early '80's and his mom is a former UW athlete as well, so there are high expectations he'll continue the family tradition. He's likely going to end up being considered one of the top-10, if not top-5 WR's in the country.

I figure he's UW's to lose but I know Williams has been talked up a ton on the UCLA boards, too. It's thought Neuheisel's going to go strong after him.

MrBug708 · 02-04-2010, 04:31 PM

Williams has fallen off a bit since his sophmore year, but he'll still be ranked in the Top 10 in WR though, as dawgfan said

Logan · 02-04-2010, 04:41 PM

2011 NJ class is loaded, there's gonna be a lot of national recruits.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-04-2010, 04:56 PM

FWIW, multiple people close to him report George Farmer is a USC lock. He is expected to compete for the #1 WR in the nation slot this upcoming year.

No doubt he will - Williams is a national recruit, with offers from places like Alabama, Florida, Notre Dame, LSU, Tennessee, pretty much all of the Pac-10. Expect Williams to be the primary in-state focus of Sark.

The other premier recruit in-state is TE Austin Sefarian-Jenkins, but he's clearly enamored with the national attention he's getting and doesn't seem to have any strong connections in-state, so Husky fans are not going to be shocked if he doesn't commit to the UW. Williams on the other hand - if he doesn't sign with Washington, it will be a major let-down.

If he doesn't, are we going to hear the "afraid to compete"? :]

CU Tiger · 02-05-2010, 12:34 AM

Clemson claims 7 commits currently for 2011
Shaq Anthony OL
Cortez Davis DB
Brandon Ellerbee ATH
Marlin Lane RB
Tony McNeal QB
Robert Smith ATH
Deshaun Williams DT

Both Davis and Lane are probable 5 stars

With Lane having an outside chance at #1 RB and top 10 overall....

Now to hold onto them....what with a Number 1 rated class last year before xCTB's firing and all turning into a 12 man class.

Additionally 2 team members announced their leave today, both at the strong request of the coaching staff. Gotta make room for the schollies somehow.

True to form, Texas gets a boatload of commitments after their first Junior Days this weekend. They landed 13 players, all of whom are in the top 40 of the Inside Texas Top 100 list.

Brownwood receiver Jaxon Shipley (Jordan Shipley's brother)
Cedar Park linebacker Chet Moss
Lake Travis offensive lineman Taylor Doyle
Arlington receiver Miles Onyegbule
Belton quarterback David Ash
North Mesquite running back Joe Bergeron
Hallsville offensive lineman Josh Cochran
Spring Westfield defensive tackle Desmond Jackson
San Antonio Stevens athlete Mykkele Thompson
South Houston defensive back Leroy Scott
El Paso El Dorado tight end M.J. McFarland
Sugar Land Dulles safety Sheroid Evans
DeSoto offensive lineman Marcus Hutchins

There is one more Junior Day next weekend, and after that Texas will have the bulk of their recruiting done.

Eaglesfan27 · 03-11-2010, 06:56 PM

Although I suppose this should start a new thread, I'm going to cheat and put in here. USC got a committment from current sophomore WR Jordan Payton who will be in the class of 2012. He's already 6'2 195 and runs in the low 4.4 range and has been productive in H.S (Last season, Payton had 45 receptions for 1,088 yards and 18 touchdowns in a competitive league.) He says he's a lifelong Trojan fan and he loves to compete and doesn't care who is on the depth chart.

MrBug708 · 03-11-2010, 07:12 PM

The more WR's the better for USC

Logan · 04-07-2010, 08:35 AM

Rutgers picked up their 1st verbal for 2011 in LB Andrew Campolatanno, who is also one of the best wrestlers in the history of the state. Hoping he does what he can to pull in some more of this awesome NJ class.

Eaglesfan27 · 04-25-2010, 02:14 PM

USC lands another excellent Mater Dei QB today as Max Wittek has committed to the Trojans:

Santa Ana Mater Dei quarterback Max Wittek commits to USC - ESPN Los Angeles

MrBug708 · 04-25-2010, 03:10 PM

They'll likely land his WR too, which is just as well.

It also means that they'll land the top CB in the country, the Black Mamba

Eaglesfan27 · 05-01-2010, 01:41 PM

USC gets another big recruit in DE Jalen Grimble who wanted to announce it at the spring game today which starts in about 20 minutes. Grimble had offers from over 20 schools including many of the traditional powers.

MrBug708 · 05-01-2010, 04:20 PM

USC is gonna have a nice DL class this year

Eaglesfan27 · 05-18-2010, 07:53 AM

WR Victor Blackwell committed to USC last night (within days of being offered.) Besides being one of the top WR's in the nation, he is good friends with the Black Mamba and QB Max Wittek. Looks like the 3 amigos will all be attending USC. Love this quote from Victor: "When the offer came, it was like, 'Who doesn't want to go to USC'? Getting to play with all of those great players is a dream come true."

MrBug708 · 05-18-2010, 08:32 AM

The more WR, the better

MrBug708 · 05-19-2010, 10:42 AM

Hey MJ4H, whats the scoop on Kiehl Frazier? UCLA has made him their top QB prospect. Any chance he leaves the state?

Eaglesfan27 · 05-19-2010, 10:54 PM

The Black Mamba committed to USC today!

MrBug708 · 05-20-2010, 10:18 AM

Yup. He's gonna be a good WR for you guys

Eaglesfan27 · 05-23-2010, 04:46 PM

Commits are coming in at a nice pace now. Linebacker Tre Madden who projects as a weakside linebacker commits to USC today. This was the linebacker from California that I most wanted USC to get. Very happy with how the linebacker class appears it is going to shape up, although I'm still disappointed that James Vaughter from Tucker in Georgia appears to have eliminated USC from consideration. USC should have a few more commits later this week.

MrBug708 · 05-23-2010, 04:57 PM

Odd pickup. USC needs help and he'll be good depth but isn't an answer. I would imagine the higher ranked LB from Serra, Gibson, will likely end up at USC.

bhlloy · 05-23-2010, 05:54 PM

Couldn't disagree more. Watched a bunch of Mission Viejo games last year and he's a playmaker although undersized. Would much rather get him than Greer, Gibson, Waller or any of the other Cali LB on the board that we have a great shot at. And even if he is only good depth and a special teams guy, we are desperate in that department anyway.

Agree. From everything I've seen, Madden is the #1 LB in California and the one I wanted the most. I think Gibson will be another good one and I don't think Madden's committment will stop USC from getting him as well.

MrBug708 · 05-24-2010, 12:13 AM

So when UCLA pulls in a 3 star OL, I can expect him to be labeled with the underrated tag?

bhlloy · 05-24-2010, 12:30 AM

If he's a 3 star OL with an early invitation to the Army all star game, probably

MrBug708 · 05-24-2010, 12:38 AM

He was invited? I thought they only offered 19 kids an invitation so far for the game That seems rather surprising but I'll defer to you since he's an SC kid

bhlloy · 05-24-2010, 02:07 AM

Looks like you might be correct, I can only find the 19 officially but I had read somewhere he was an early invitee. My bad...

Regardless, watch some of the MV games from last year. I think I've been pretty honest about most of the recruits SC has lost to UCLA on this board, and I think he's a player.

I've seen several articles refer to him as being invited to the game. It's possible they are wrong though.

Very cool story.

Eaglesfan27 · 05-24-2010, 09:40 PM

Not that it matters, but Madden definitely has been invited to the Army All-American Game. Here is an excerpt of an article (would post but it is from a premium board - if you google search other team's boards also discuss him being invited to the game) with a quote with him talking about the game. He was offered after he was the positional MVP of a recent Nike Camp:

Although Madden plays MIKE linebacker for the Diablos, he projects in college as a weakside linebacker. At 6-foot-1, 215-pounds, Madden won the positional MVP award at the Los Angeles NIKE Camp last month. It was then he was offered an invitation to the Army All-American Bowl.

Rivals.com Recruiting Analyst Jeremy Crabtree broke down Madden's NIKE Camp performance as the following.

"There were plenty of questions about Madden coming into the camp," said Crabtree. "Was he really 6-foot-1? Is he an athlete really as he shows on his film clips, or a linebacker? Is he an instinctual enough defender to be a star college linebacker?

"The answers: Yes, he is 6-foot-1. Yes, he's got amazing athleticism and speed, but he's a linebacker. And yes, he does have some tremendous instincts that were on display both in drill work and in one-on-ones. Madden definitely projects as a WILL linebacker in college and he'll be a perfect fit for a scheme that allows him to use his speed to react and read the plays."

As a junior, Madden had 113 tackles and three sacks on his way to All-CIF honors. As of late, the honors have been overwhelming for Madden.

"I'm happy and I'm very honored with everything," said Madden. "I know the Army game is where a lot of great players have gone to and made their names. I just want to go down there and represent my school and city and have fun with it."

MrBug708 · 05-24-2010, 11:12 PM

FWIW - The link I posted seems to post date the info from the Nike game

MrBug708 · 05-27-2010, 03:25 PM

Apparently Sefrairian-Jenkins was a silent verbal to UCLA last year. I think he ends up at UCLA still, but thought it was pretty interesting. That makes sense since Grimble younger wasn't it

dawgfan · 05-27-2010, 03:51 PM

ASJ also nearly committed to Florida on his unofficial visit there, but has backed off.

I think he'll come around to realizing he doesn't need to leave the state to get great coaching and have success on the field and pick the Huskies, but of all the in-state Washington studs for the 2011 class, ASJ seems the most likely to go elsewhere.

MrBug708 · 05-27-2010, 04:26 PM

Apparently Rick is a family friend from back in UW. Was that where Rick coached post UW? (High School?)

dawgfan · 05-27-2010, 07:25 PM

No, he was a volunteer with Rainier Beach H.S. in Seattle. ASJ is over in Gig Harbor, which is across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge from Tacoma.

I'll say this about his recruitment - while he's definitely enjoying the attention of being a true national recruit (and has publicly admitted he let himself get a big-head about it) and has been eager to travel to various spots to see them in-person, he's also been a fixture at UW games and practices. He's giving every impression that he's giving the local school a serious look, and in general the safest bet is with the local school.

That said (and as I mentioned before), he seems the most likely of the big-time in-state guys for 2011 to be interested in leaving the state. Reportedly his mom wants him to stay home while his dad is encouraging him to consider experiencing a different part of the country.

I certainly can't blame a kid for being interested in UCLA - sunny weather, warm water beaches, surfing, beautiful girls, nice campus, great academics.

MrBug708 · 05-28-2010, 01:04 PM

What's the word on Kasen? Silent verbal to UW? Hopkins seems like a player and he has an offer from Stanford, always hard to walk away from too.

Kasen is considered a strong lean to the UW, but he's publicly maintaining that he's still open to a number of schools. Given that he's a UW athletic legacy from both of his parents and that he's a great fit for Sark's offense, it would be a major shock if he didn't commit to the Huskies.

Hopkins seems to be focusing on Stanford and the UW. Battles with Stanford are always tough - if a kid is capable of getting into Stanford, he's usually someone that really values a Stanford education. But, the advantage the UW has is (obviously) location - Seattle is a much more manageable drive for his parents to see him play than Palo Alto.

DeToxRox · 05-28-2010, 04:17 PM

Michigan added #5 today with DE Chris Rock. And before anyone asks, he is white.

tarcone · 05-31-2010, 11:06 AM

6"3' 230 lb RB Rodney Coe out of Edwardsville, IL. is high on a lot of peoples lists. Iowa is in the battle for this kid. And what a battle it will be.
4.54 40
Bench 295
Squat 370

He has received offers from most Big10, Big 12, SEC schools and ND.
It looks like Iowa, K-State and Missouri are in the lead.

dawgfan · 06-02-2010, 01:43 PM

TE/DE Charlie Hopkins has committed to Stanford over Washington. Not a huge surprise - Stanford is a big draw anyway for kids that have the grades to get in, and even more so now that Harbaugh has that program on the rise. Washington is more local, but considering it's still a 5-6 hour drive away, it's not a huge advantage over Stanford, especially if his parents can afford the flights to San Jose (looks like about $250 to fly from Spokane).

Rumors are thick that QB Cody Kessler is going to pick USC today over Washington, going with his heart over his head. Kessler was all set to pick the Huskies a couple weeks back, but then Kiffin offered him. He grew up a USC fan and considered them his "dream" school, so despite Sark's outstanding track record for developing QB's and the fact that USC already has Max Wittek committed, it appears likely that Kessler is picking the Trojans.

And to complete the day of bad news for the Huskies, it sounds like RB Brandon Bigelow is now considering himself a "soft" commit to Washington. He committed very early to them, as they were his first offer and he's coming off of knee surgery. But his stock is rising fast and with a ton of offers from top programs, it was easy to predict that he would re-consider his early decision.

MrBug708 · 06-02-2010, 01:55 PM

Eaglesfan27 Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: New Jersey	Commits are coming in at a nice pace now. Linebacker Tre Madden who projects as a weakside linebacker commits to USC today. This was the linebacker from California that I most wanted USC to get. Very happy with how the linebacker class appears it is going to shape up, although I'm still disappointed that James Vaughter from Tucker in Georgia appears to have eliminated USC from consideration. USC should have a few more commits later this week. __________________ Retired GM of the eNFL 2007 Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles (19-0 record.)

Would much rather get him than Greer, Gibson, Waller or any of the other Cali LB on the board that we have a great shot at. And even if he is only good depth and a special teams guy, we are desperate in that department anyway.

MrBug708 Head Coach Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: Whittier	So when UCLA pulls in a 3 star OL, I can expect him to be labeled with the underrated tag?

bhlloy Coordinator Join Date: Nov 2003	If he's a 3 star OL with an early invitation to the Army all star game, probably

MrBug708 Head Coach Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: Whittier	He was invited? I thought they only offered 19 kids an invitation so far for the game That seems rather surprising but I'll defer to you since he's an SC kid Last edited by MrBug708 : 05-24-2010 at 12:38 AM.

bhlloy Coordinator Join Date: Nov 2003	Looks like you might be correct, I can only find the 19 officially but I had read somewhere he was an early invitee. My bad... Regardless, watch some of the MV games from last year. I think I've been pretty honest about most of the recruits SC has lost to UCLA on this board, and I think he's a player.

cartman Death Herald Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Le stelle la notte sono grandi e luminose nel cuore profondo del Texas	Here's a pretty cool story about one of the incoming Texas recruits. He grew up in the same neighborhood I did in Haltom City.

Eaglesfan27 Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: New Jersey	Not that it matters, but Madden definitely has been invited to the Army All-American Game. Here is an excerpt of an article (would post but it is from a premium board - if you google search other team's boards also discuss him being invited to the game) with a quote with him talking about the game. He was offered after he was the positional MVP of a recent Nike Camp: Although Madden plays MIKE linebacker for the Diablos, he projects in college as a weakside linebacker. At 6-foot-1, 215-pounds, Madden won the positional MVP award at the Los Angeles NIKE Camp last month. It was then he was offered an invitation to the Army All-American Bowl. Rivals.com Recruiting Analyst Jeremy Crabtree broke down Madden's NIKE Camp performance as the following. "There were plenty of questions about Madden coming into the camp," said Crabtree. "Was he really 6-foot-1? Is he an athlete really as he shows on his film clips, or a linebacker? Is he an instinctual enough defender to be a star college linebacker? "The answers: Yes, he is 6-foot-1. Yes, he's got amazing athleticism and speed, but he's a linebacker. And yes, he does have some tremendous instincts that were on display both in drill work and in one-on-ones. Madden definitely projects as a WILL linebacker in college and he'll be a perfect fit for a scheme that allows him to use his speed to react and read the plays." As a junior, Madden had 113 tackles and three sacks on his way to All-CIF honors. As of late, the honors have been overwhelming for Madden. "I'm happy and I'm very honored with everything," said Madden. "I know the Army game is where a lot of great players have gone to and made their names. I just want to go down there and represent my school and city and have fun with it." __________________ Retired GM of the eNFL 2007 Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles (19-0 record.)

dawgfan Grizzled Veteran Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Seattle	ASJ also nearly committed to Florida on his unofficial visit there, but has backed off. I think he'll come around to realizing he doesn't need to leave the state to get great coaching and have success on the field and pick the Huskies, but of all the in-state Washington studs for the 2011 class, ASJ seems the most likely to go elsewhere.
