Really? What exactly are you hearing? That would be pretty sweet to watch.

 

Let's just say that it has to do with both guy nice like being disciplined and yelled at by their current coaches. Odds are one will transfer next year to the others school. I'm guessing Richmond transfers to Warren, but time will tell.

Good commitment for KU, he was Texas Tech's commit for a while before he realized he didn't want to compete with his brother at TTU for the RB position. Tech wanted him as a safety.

I don't think Richmond will transfer. Didn't he already transfer just prior to this year?

Yup. If you saw his body language towards the team and coach, you would think differently. I don't think he likes Waukegan and isn't happy. He and Paul are good friends and wouldn't be surprised to see them playing together next year. Just a hunch.

That would make 3 high schools in 3 years. I was surprised he didn't play at Loyola last year, instead of North Shore Country Day.

Miami has been losing a lot of recruits to Florida and now a player in the past week or so.

Last year's #18 DT Chris Perry is transferring to Texas Tech. Huge get :-).

It appears the Illini have found Reda's replacement, as Derek Dimke of Rockford Boylan (#13 kicker in the nation according to scout.com) has verballed. He owns the record for longest made FG in a playoff game in the history of Illinois HS football. The playoff field goal was 54 yards, and he also made a 54 yard try in the regular season this year, plus 85 percent of his kickoffs the last 2 seasons were touchbacks, so he has a strong leg.

He's down to KU, ISU, Kentucky and some other school.

 

After we win tonight, do you figure he'll think we're too loaded?

Well, Illinois picked up a DE commitment, Ugo Uzodinma, from Dunbar H.S. in D.C. 6'4'' 240, 4.6... Pretty good #'s... Originally came down to Virginia and Illinois, picked Virginia b/c of Mike London. But when London was named head coach at Richmond, Ugo wanted to play for the Illini.

 

Oh, and Compton re-affirmed his commitment to Nebraska.

Does that mean Frierson is going to come to Illinois?

Yes Frierson re-committed to Illinois as well. He's only a 2 star on Scout, but he's a physically ready LB. Good pick-up.

Couple nice pickups for Illinois, even if they are only 2 stars. NIU got some kid from Florida who is 6'0, 240 and runs a legit 4.53 in the 40 yard dash. He isn't rated by the major recruiting sites, but with those measureables, he's more than welcome to come play ball here.

Did not happen, and I would love to have him.

USC plucks another superstar prospect as the #1 QB ( M. Barkley) makes it official that he will be a Trojan.

Note for the casual followers: He is the #1 QB prospect for 2009

 

I heard about him awhile back and could not figure out why there was no mention of him on Rivals or Scout's rankings. Turns out I was looking in the wrong year!

He won an award at the Outback bowl given by Joe Montana as the best college QB last year.

 

He looked pretty good.

 

Hes from Cali so no real surprise there.

ISU with another football decommit.

 

We apparently have a policy that if you commit to us, and take a visit elsewhere, we yank your schollie offer.

Most schools do that.

Not the ones that are good at recruiting. If you want really good players, you have to deal with some sniffing around at other places after they verbal. Some kids just love the process of being wanted.

Meyer and UF being investigated for the recruitment of JUCO WR Carl Moore. I doubt anything will happen because it's UF, but I'll throw it out there.

For the most part you are correct. However, Texas uses that recruiting style. They pressure the top kids in state to commit early and stay firm or they will move on, and always end up with a great class before everyone else gets started.

Yeah, Pryor is the #1 for 2008. He was pretty much a lock for USC from the start.

 

ESPN reviews the Big Ten recruiting classes.

Well you are right, but Texas basically just offers the top 50 kids in Texas, tells them there are 25 spots open, and says it's first come, first serve. As a result of that, along with the popularity of HS football and the Horns down there, they have 25 verbals and a top recruiting class by about March every year, way before almost anybody else in the nation. Thus, as a result, if a guy or two strays (which does happen), they just pull the offer and have plenty of time to get somebody else. So while your correct, that's kind of a unique situation.
