[Irish]

Since Weis was fired 5 star DE Chris Martin decommited but 4 star DT Louis Nix decommited from Miami and committed.

I would imagine one of Kelly's first calls would be to Martin. Wouldn't surprise me if he comes back.

Which brings me to Spencer Ware, a 4 star ATH out of Ohio who is committed to the Tigers. Sportsbuck or any Ohio State fans, did the Buckeyes have any interest in this guy as a RB?

Ohio State had interest, but there was a conflict in recruiting an offensive lineman named Aaron Brown I believe (Part of VT's 2006 recruiting class IIRC), which ended up changing the way the OSU staff recruits players. Brown's father was the main reason for the conflict, and he is a father figure to Spencer so the Bucks never really had a chance in this one.

Spencer's a good kid though, and a great baseball player as well and I've talked to him a little bit since we both camped at UNC for football. I have concerns over whether he maxed out his frame but he is a great football player.

The Pitt Panthers picked up yet another verbal commitment this weekend from DeMatha Catholic High School offensive lineman Shane Johnson. Johnson, the nation’s No. 24 ranked offensive guard was not available for comment, but sources have confirmed that he’s in the bag.

Pitt is looking to have a pretty good recruiting class this year. Scout has them at 12th overall. Johnson is a big guy and I think will develop over time. Pitt also impressed Brandon Ifill a 3* Safety. Pitt has 23 commitments already and is looking to have a pretty good class even with the downfall over the last couple of weeks.

The main guys that I think will have a big impact from this class will be Anthony Gonzalez (4* QB), Andrew Carswell (4* WR that is 6'5 with decent speed), T.J. Clemmings (5* DE and the top prospect in this years class), and Aaron Donald (4* DT). Other guys that could develop are RB/LB Derrick Burns who was recruited as a RB and LB but will probably play LB. Has good speed and his brother Chris is on the team.

The class has 15 3 Stars, 4 - 4 Stars, and 1 5 Star so far.

With four commitments over the last two weekends, Mizzou vaults into the top fifteen team-wise at #15.

(Rivals.com)

Good. Mizzou is my favorite team in the Big 12. Glad to see they haven't given up after losing Chase Daniel.

 

[Goober]

What sites do you guys use for your info? rivals limits what you can see unless you start paying. :shifty:

And Wisconsin never seems to have a top draft class. :shifty:

Dominique Easley, a 4 star defensive end previously committed to Penn State, has committed to Florida

Not too worried about the decommittment. We still have four-stars C.J. Olaniyan and Dakota Royer as defensive end commits.

Justin Hunter committed to LSU last spring, has de-committed and is headed to Tennessee. This decision was influenced by his desire to compete on the track team. Derek Dooley must be doing something right as well.

 

[Leftwich]

National Signing Day is this Wednesday.... some big names still not signed are:

OL Sentrel Henderson
DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa
RB Marcus Lattimore
LB Christian Jones
WR Markeith Ambles
DE Gabe King
DE JR Ferguson

This is my first time hearing this, fuck. I take a week off of recruiting and this is what I get? Hunter was my favorite prospect, 6'4 with track speed.

Interesting that he chose Tennessee over LSU for track purposes as our track program is one of the nation's best....oh well.

Edit- apparently the asst. coach at Tennessee assigned to his recruitment has taken a job at USC so he's reopened his options, and LSU is still in the running. We've since added 2-3 WR targets so who knows if we still are serious about him or vice versa. Gonna come down to NSD I'd think.

 

[Irish]

Possibly skipping my first day of classes to watch NSD. One of my favorite times in sports.

Despite the coaching change, ND could end up with an unbelievable class, but can also not get much.

Some guys i expect to commit to ND by NSD.
-Matt James OT 4star
-Kona Schwenke DE 3star
-Jeremy Ioane S 3star (really hopin this guy comes in, his highlight tape he looks like a troy polalmalu build, no racist. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn-0TcChGJY"][/ame])

Guys that i pray land to us but unlikely
-Seantrel Henderson
-Christian Jones
-Dietrich Riley
-Corey Cooper
-JR Furguson

If we can land everyone i think we do and maybe 1 or 2 of those surprise picks. I will be ecstatic.

All this thread needed was a little bumpage.

Lache Seastrunk committed to Oregon?

 

[Irish]

Lache Seastrunk committed to Oregon?

Yeah he committed after his stock started to drop.

 

[Sportsbuck]

Seantrel Henderson should be a Buckeye... after that I'm not sure since we'd only have 1 spot left, and it may likely be '09 OL Morgan Moses, who went to Fork Union this past year.

 

[Woy]

I still had hopes of landing Lattimore, but with Royster returning, I don't think he would want to sit on the bench for at least his first year.

Acutally with Stefphon Green still there he'd be #3.

 

[Woy]

Acutally with Stefphon Green still there he'd be #3.

I took him into account too. No Royster = Green and Lattimore sharing carries. Royster = Royster and Green sharing carries, with Lattimore riding the bench.

And I didn't even figure in Brandon Beachum, who's a damn solid back in his own right.

 

[Sportsbuck]

Lattimore is down to South Carolina and Auburn with SC being the favorite.

Lache Seastrunk committed to Oregon?

Yea and LSU has 3 RB's already coming in with Jakhari Gore, Spencer Ware, and Alfred Blue. Not to mention Ridley, Ford, and Murphy. We are well stocked at RB. I think the staff went ahead and and got more RB recruits after there was some doubt in Seastrunk.


EDIT: He will have more success in the PAC-10 in Oregon's offense anyway. Even though they are going to have a Sophomore as their premiere back next season Seastrunk will get some carries.
