Recruiting:

Week 9:
We sign a pair of targeted Top 100 players:
#50 OG Dana Hyatt - already squatting 600, comes in with 82 durability and 94 blocking. And 4.7 speed for a guard is pretty sick. We signed him out of Washington and beat out USC, Fresno State, and WSU for his services.

#53 RB Ken Epstein - local kid who realizes he will have to fight for time next year. He is listed as an outside runner and we think he can do great things in our screen-heavy passing attack. Ken was also considering Fresno, USC, and Oregon.

However, we lost out on our two of our highest rated targets - WR Bake Johnson (#17 to USC - darn it) and #21 DT Vince Skoronski (Va Tech).

Week 10:
We pick up another QB, hopefully one who could be good enough to start as a freshman if Rattay bails.

#167 Trung Shy - hails from Utah, ran a West Coast system but also got decent yardage on the ground. Durable (84) with decent passing marks (72). We expect him to be an accurate passer at the college level.

We lost out on another top target, OLB David Barno. He signed with Cal - Cal? We also lost out on our 2nd center target in as many weeks.

Week 11:
As expected, John Rattay is gone. Full list of early departures to follow:

We ink SS Lon Hector out of Flagstaff, AZ. He is the #46 recruit in the nation. We think he can do it all - cover, blitz, and tackle. He grades out in the 70-72 range for catching, tackling, and coverage. We beat out a number of Pac 10 teams for his services.

We watched five CBs that we were targeting sign with other programs, including our top target, Bobby Green (#14, signed with state school, Ohio State). Might have to start going after athletes to find someone who can play this position.
