2012 prospect UPDATE- offense

by Phil Fraser on Feb 21, 2011 10:00 AM MST

I'm going to go a little more in depth in my recruiting yappery since it's a holiday and I'm bored.

QB: We currently have offers out to 2 QBs, Cyler Miles from (Denver) Mullen and Gunner Kiel from Columbus, Indiana. Personally, I think Kiel is barely a pipe dream. I've got him pegged for Michigan. Travis Wilson from San Clemente, CA, previously mentioned in this spot by me, shows CU interest, but doesn't yet show an offer

RB: Currently showing offers to Benjamin Catalon from (Houston) Westside and Brian Kimbrow from (Memphis) East. Interestingly, Embree explicitly called out how short our RBs are during the recruiting press conference. Both of these guys are 5'8." My previously mentioned Byron Marshall (San Jose Valley Christian) is also showing interest (although he's showing interest to pretty much everyone), as is Ishmael Adams from (Westlake Village, CA) Oaks Christian, although I don't think he's as good as his offers. Neither currently holds an offer from CU.

FB: I still like Jahleel Pinner from Mission Viejo and Jherremya Leuta-Douyere from (Anaheim) Servite, although there isn't much available info on either.

WR: Currently showing offers for (Houston) Westlake's Deante' Gray, Lakewood (CA)'s Darius Powe, and Guyer (Denton, TX)'s Connor Crane. Powe is interesting, because they've got another guy- Malik Gilmore, who's bigger and faster, but isn't showing either interest or an offer from CU. That's not the interesting part. The interesting part is that I don't recall Lakewood as a particularly elite passing team, certainly not one that should show 2 BCS level receivers. 7 on 7 tourneys should show a lot this summer. My guy Bryce Treggs (St. John Bosco, Bellfower CA) shows neither interest nor an offer from CU, although he does seem predisposed toward the Pac 12.

TE: I'm leaving my guy Josh Cook (Santa Ana, CA Mater Dei) alone for now. We did just offer top CO prospect Evan Baylis from Grandview

OL: Lots of offers out there- 5 star Andrus Peat from Tempe, 4 star Shane Callahan from Chaparral, 3 star Paul Thurston from Arvada West, 3 star Germain Ifedi from (Houston) Westside, 4 star Jordan Simmons from (Encino) Crespi, 3 star Stephon McCray from Fresno, and 3 star Ty Darlingon from Apopka, FL.

Also, my use of parenthesis in school/ hometown identification is haphazard at best. I apologize, but don't expect that to change, since I'm not very smart, and I don't care that much. I'll do defense next, as this post is already stupid long.

Sooner or Domer.

my top 5 for him-

Oklahoma, Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford, Illinois.
Speaking as an impartial observer (since I don’t think CU has a shot), I just can’t imagine a more perfect fit for him than Michigan. They’re transitioning from the spread option. Robinson will be a senior when Kiel is a freshman. The guy they signed this year is more of a dual threat, and Hoke likes to throw the ball more than the traditional Michigan coach (Lindley threw for 500 yards in a game last year for SDSU). Need + talent + prestige = perfect fit.

Of course, Sooner or Domer would satisfy you and Bob nicely, now wouldn’t it (smileymoticon)?

Ha, I didn't even think about the Bob - ND thing

Should be interesting. Heupel sure has a lot to sell, but you’re right in that Michigan provides him with an option to play a lot earlier. From everything I have read/heard, Blake Bell will take over the #2 spot for the Sooners this year which would give him a really good shot at starting either next year (if LJ leaves early, not likely) or the following. That would give Kiel only 1-2 years starting at OU.

I did manage to get in 9 holes today

in other news, I still really suck at golf. the only reason I do it is so I can wear my awesome argyle socks with shorts. After that, everything went to shit. The end.

the thing is, all they do is run the ball

I watched their bowl game this year, and they were absolutely killing Servite with these 180 pound guards who simply exploded off the line and ended up at the LB level before Servite’s DL even got out of their stances. It was incredible. Houston does have experience in a big time program, and knows how to win. He just doesn’t have a ton of experience as a guy who defenses key on as a passer, or as an underdog.

aaaand, BAM:

“Tritons junior QB Travis Wilson (6-6, 215) also is faring well in recruiting.

He has recently landed scholarship offers from Arizona State and Colorado, Patton said in an e-mail. Earlier this winter, Wilson was offered by Utah (and Norm Chow) and Washington."

about damn time. Maybe read my annoying emails sooner, coaches?
