  • Iowa Thanks for the info
    But add Hollins for LEO/OLB, and we are recruiting more CBs and Safeties than this.
    Also add some sleepers or are you just listing what is ranked. Yoosey not ranked?
    Add #7 CB, and SSDE Walker, WR Quick, S Hicks, etc.

    I pulled kids off Rivals list whose names I'd recognized. Since Hollins has committed to UCLA, I purposely left him off. Basically, they're either on the board for us or they've already committed to a B1G opponent.

    Zach Yousey is not ranked. Personally, I don't see it--looks like a good, maybe above average athlete playing against inferior competition. Look at his INT against the team in the green--lot of little kids on the field, asome wearing lineman #s. What is Harvest Prep, maybe D-V? In my opinion, he's a kid who'll have to prove himself in camp against better caliber competition than he sees in games.

  • Great post Iowa. Man it looks like scUM is building a good o-line. Good thing we have an awesome d-line. Bucks are going to need it.

    Iowa, I don't know where you live, somewhere in Iowa now?
    Harvest Prep is the HS that is with the Rod Parley's famous International Religious Ministry down there in Canal Winchester Ohio. Just South of Columbus and about 30 minutes south of OSU Campus. Rod Parsley has a TV Ministry that has a Global offering. He has a Kindergarden thru 12th Grade Education there too. Brian BJ Mullens who played Basketball at OSU a few years ago went there as well. Probably D 5 I don't know. I think the Girls won the State BB this year or came close. BJ Mullens played One Year and is now playing NBA.

    Yousey is mentioned as "The Sleeper" and plays both ways and returns kicks and punts. The staff really likes this kid.

  • Someone needs to award Iowa a PhD in Recruiting Analysis. Dude, you need to work for Rivals or Scout or 247. Your views and effort in posting quality info are always A+.
