Swati, sorry that you are only a 3*. You actually all have very similar overall ratings between 70-74.

Looks like Pullen could end up on my team

[PurdueBrad]

Wow, definitely interested to see who sways me to their school. SEC or Big 10...hmmmm!

[JetsIn06]

QB Patel and MLB Vest, the two players from Illinois, are the only ones that have changed from Week 1 to Week 2.

Patel has been offered a scholarship from Illinois and is currently favoring them by a small margin.

Vest has a new #1, Texas, and they've been coming after him hard. He's set up a visit to a few schools. Texas during Week 11, Michigan in Week 13, and Missouri during Week 9.

[JetsIn06]

AFTER WEEK SIX---

WR Chris Pullen (NY):

Rating: 4* (#37)
Top 3: Tennessee, Rutgers, Georgia

Sorry Chris. You haven't had much luck in recruiting, but don't be surprised if Rutgers gives you a call soon.

MLB Brad Vest (IL):

Rating: 4* (#8)
Top 3: Missouri, Texas, Michigan

As of now, it looks like Michigan is out of the race. Missouri has jumped in front of Texas. Both have offered you scholarships, and Brad is visiting Missouri Week 9 and Texas Week 11.

QB Swati Patel (IL):

Rating: 3* (#18)
Top 3: Illinois, Northern Illionois, Missouri

It looks like Illionois is very interested in grabbing Swati. They have a noticeable lead over Northern Illinois and Missouri. So far, only Illionois and Northern Illionois have offer scholarships. Swati is visiting Illinois on Week 13 and Northern illionois on Week 9.


WR Dayne Ho (NY):

Rating: 4* (#36)
Top 3: LSU, Penn St., Arizona St.

Still no offers, but Ho is visitsing LSU on Week 13 and Arizona St. Week 14.

[JetsIn06]

AFTER WEEK THIRTEEN---

WR Chris Pullen (NY):

Rating: 4* (#37)
Top 3: Rutgers, Tennessee, Georgia

My team added Pullen to our board and his interest in us has been steadily improving. I highly doubt he lands anywhere else. Rutgers is the only school who has offered a scholarship.


MLB Brad Vest (IL):

Rating: 4* (#8)
COMMITED TO MISSOURI

Vest has officialy committed to Missouri!


QB Swati Patel (IL):

Rating: 3* (#18)
Top 3: Illinois, Northern Illionois, Missouri

The Top 3 have stayed the same, and Illinois is really pushing to grab Patl. They have a pretty big lead.


WR Dayne Ho (NY):

Rating: 4* (#36)
Top 3: LSU, Arizona St., Penn St.

Ho still hasn't received any offers but LSU seems to like him a lot.

[JetsIn06]

WEEK ONE OF OFF-SEASON RECRUITING

WR Chris Pullen (NY):

Rating: 4* (#37)
Top 3: Rutgers, Tennessee, Georgia

Rutgers is pulling away. We're still the only team that's offered a scholarship and the interest in other schools hasn't risen at all.


MLB Brad Vest (IL):

Rating: 4* (#8)
COMMITED TO MISSOURI

Vest has officialy committed to Missouri!


QB Swati Patel (IL):

Rating: 3* (#18)
Top 3: Illinois, Northern Illionois, Missouri

All three schools have offered scholarships, but Illinois is still in the lead with a full interest bar. I wouldn't be surprised to see Patel committ this week.


WR Dayne Ho (NY):

Rating: 4* (#36)
Top 3: LSU, Arizona St., Penn St.

Both LSU and Arizona St. have offered Ho a scholarship. LSU is in the lead, but a solid week from Arizona St. could propel them to the top. Penn St. is clearly out of the running.

[JetsIn06]

WEEK TWO OF OFF-SEASON RECRUITING

QB Swati Patel (IL):

Rating: 3* (#18)
COMMITTED TO ILLINOIS

[JetsIn06]

WEEK THREE OF OFF-SEASON RECRUITING

WR Dayne Ho (NY):

Rating: 4* (#36)
COMMITTED TO LSU

[JetsIn06]

FINAL WEEK OF OFF-SEASON RECRUITING

WR Chris Pullen (NY):

Rating: 4* (#37)
COMMITTED TO TENNESSEE

Damn it! We had such a big lead and were the only team to offer a scholarship going into the final week of recruiting, but he chose to go to Tennessee. UGH!

[JetsIn06]

WR Chris Pullen (?):

Rating: ?

Pullen was cut from Tennessee's roster. They have 18 WR's on the roster. WTF?


MLB Brad Vest (Missouri):

Rating: 71

Brad made it onto the depth chart as the 4th MLB.


QB Swati Patel (Illinois):

Rating: 70 OVR

Swati didn't make it onto the depth chart, so it's likely he'll get redshirted.


WR Dayne Ho (LSU):

Rating: 72

Dwayne is 8th on a long list of WR's. He won't see any playing time this year.

[Kodos]

This could have gone better for me.

Haha, I was bummed reading Swati's status but then I read yours and I guess I can't feel so bad!

[PurdueBrad]

Hoping a couple guys fall down the stairs so I can get some good action!

[JetsIn06]

Brad has gotten some action!

Not much, but last week Vest finally made it on the field and made the most of it. He had three tackles, all of which were for a loss! He also had a sack!

Way to go Brad!

Ho has also gotten some good action. He's caught two passes for 19 yards and scored a TD!

Looks like a good sign of things to come for these two. Patel still hasn't made it off the bench.

[JetsIn06]

START OF YEAR TWO

WR Chris Pullen (?):

Rating: ?



MLB Brad Vest (Missouri) Sophomore:

Rating: 79

Brad has moved up the the #2 spot on the depth chart at MLB! There is a JR ahead of him, so it looks like Vest will get at least one year as a starter.


QB Swati Patel (Illinois) Freshman(RS):

Rating: 75 OVR

Swati didn't make it onto field last year and is now listed as a FR(RS). He is 3rd on the depth chart at 75 OVR, but the starter is a 78 and 2nd string is a 76. The 2nd stringer is a freshman, the starter a SR(RS). It looks like next year these two will battle it out for the starting job.

WR Dayne Ho (LSU):

Rating: 72+

Ho is so deep on the depth chart I can't even see him on the screen right now. I'll have to wait until the season actually starts and I can go through the roster.

[law90026]

Ah damn, no real chance of PT for me then.

We'll just keep that between ourselves and avoid having my wife hear about it!

[JetsIn06]

START OF YEAR FOUR

Sorry for the lack of updates.

WR Chris Pullen (?):

Rating: ?

Pullen is currently taking Basket Weaving 201.


MLB Brad Vest (Missouri) Senior:

Rating: 87

Brad is a smart and strong MLB at the top of the depth chart. Last year Vest got some action as a backup, picking up 28 tackles, 7 for a loss, 2 sacks, and 7 pass deflections.


QB Swati Patel (Illinois) Junior(RS):

Rating: 81 OVR

Patel still hasn't thrown a pass, but is listed as the #2 QB. He should get some snaps in during garbage time or due to an injury. He's close enough to passing the #1 that a solid camp could land him the starting job next season.

WR Dayne Ho (LSU) Senior:

Rating: 85 OVR

Ho has developed into a quick and agile receiver. After being buried on the depth chart as a sophmore, he's now the starter! Last year Ho pulled in 82 receptions for 901 yards and 8 TD's, averaging 64 yards per game.

[JetsIn06]

END OF YEAR FOUR


MLB Brad Vest (Missouri) Senior:

Rating: 87

Brad finished his final college season with 47 tackles, 18 for a loss, and 5 sacks. He also forced 3 fumbles.


QB Swati Patel (Illinois) Junior(RS):

Rating: 81 OVR

Patel didn't start, but he got in a few games, completing 28 of 46 passes for 386 yards and 4 TD's. He didn't throw any INT's.

WR Dayne Ho (LSU) Senior:

Rating: 85 OVR

Ho led LSU in receiving, catching 76 passes for 852 yards and 8 TD's. He averaged 71 yards per game and only dropped 2 balls the whole season.

[PurdueBrad]

Not a bad way to finish up, I'll take that. Thanks Jets!
