Micah Vanterpool has committed to Hawaii. Our last remaining OL offer, Nick Ford, has announced his top 4 and they are all Pac12 teams. So unless we have a late offer, or one that we do not know about, we are done with OL.
Or playing? Kevin Davidson, the QB who changed his mind from UCD to Princeton, has hardly played.
Would a player rather sit on the bench for a while or play sooner. Me, I never wanted to ride the pine and watch. I'd rather play, even if you don't have a winning record. After all, if your the national champs and never saw the playing field, would you really as having been a deserving member of a championship team? I would not.
Thank you, Movie. It's not a lot of work once you know what to look for and I like being able to provide something to the AST community. Plus, it gives me something to do in the off season!
Size-wise this is a massive class (20+) but I think the coaching staff has done a good job at making sure that it is balanced. When you have balanced classes you will less often have to have recruiting classes where it is an emergency to pick up guys in a certain position. Kudos to Coach Creighton who has managed to develop this recruiting class considering the change in staff (although from what we are hearing, Hawk is making a buzz here).
Got a commitment from a player I didn't know had an offer from us! DB Jaylin White from Vista Murrieta High School! GO AGS! Had offers from Nevada and Army.
He looks a small speed demon. He has a pic on his twitter account showing his rating from the Nike+ football rating day in Los Angeles. His overall score was 91.77. He was in the 98th percentile in the 40 yd dash, vertical leap and agility. They have him listed at 5'9 and 144 lbs so I imagine they'll be looking beefing him up a bit but the athletic ability is certainly there already.
Yes we have... The 2016 recruiting class had at least three (3) - 3 star* recruits: WR Kris Vaughn (Redlands East Valley, CA), DE Brandon Jamison (Chaparral, AZ) and WR Jared Harrell (St. John Bosco, CA).
Good to see a couple of our guys up in the top part of that list. I'm also ok with having "chip on their shoulder" guys too. Davis used to thrive on those guys and we can do it again.
According to their list Sac State has landed the top recruit so far LB Tysyn Parker who had a bunch of offers including UCD...(oh well...scratching my head...) but we have 3 guys in their top 17 (#17 DE Luka Nixon, #11 WR Kristian Gilbert and #10 WR Logan Montgomery). Certainly this list is highly subjective and really doesn't mean all that much.
herosports also posted a National Top 25 FCS Recruits list as of January 19th and Eastern Washington has #23 WR Andrew Boston and #18 WR Johnny Edwards IV, North Dakota has #15 DE Ezekiel Ott and Montana State has #14 DB Jalen Cole.
