2013 Recruiting Thread

[BCSUPERFAN22]

Sha'ki Holines committed to UMASS. Believe I read something which said he may have been a flyer offer down the road.

Held offer from puppies but chose UMASS. yukon losing kids to umass and having commits flip to temple, guess they need to fight Fordham for the scraps.

Trey Kilgore will announce his decision on Monday, BC is in his top 4....but it's widely expected that he will choose Michigan State

How/ When should we expect to hear his decision?

just a little twitter party or a climactic press conference or will he dress his pony in the outfit of his choice ?

[HJS]

Congrats to Mark Chmura for being announced as a 2012 member of the BC Hall of Fame. While it took him (and Mike Mamula) an extra year longer to earn the distinction than GDF, at least they were finally recognized by the POS Varsity Club.

Also, congrats to Mark Chmura's son who just committed to Michigan State.

They must have nicer spa facilities at Michigan State.

Well... we beat the MAC for a RB today... so EA is going to call it a push.

LeShun Daniels, an RB from Ohio. Had offers from Akron and Bowling Green. Honestly under the circumstances, this is the type of player you somewhat have to expect. Hopefully he's someone identified early that will outplay his current offer sheet.

Cincy offer according to Scout, which should put him in the upper 25% of our class come signing day

Daniels Might Be Ohio's Most Underrated

While Warren Harding is annually one of Ohio's top programs, last year was a disaster on and off the field. Tailback LeShun Daniels performed at a high level under tough circumstances and is one to watch.

Although 2011 was not one of the finest seasons at storied Warren Harding, the program remains one of the best in Ohio. Senior tailback LeShun Daniels stood strong last season and college recruiters are starting to notice.
Daniels, 6-foot, 217-pounds, is the son of former Ohio State lineman LeShun Daniels SR., so he has the bloodlines to succeed. The younger Daniels, who rushed for over 900 yards last season, currently holds three offers.

"Things are starting to pick and I have offers from Akron, Bowling Green and Boston College," Daniels stated. "Coach (Jim) Bollman knew me when he was at Ohio State, so he remembered me when he went to Boston College. I'm considering all schools right now, and I'm open to everybody. I'm relieved that I'm now getting offers."

"I've had coaches from Ohio State, Michigan State, Purdue, Penn State and Michigan in the school," he added. "I'm in the process of trying to put a schedule together for this summer to get out and see a few schools. I want to get out to a lot of camps."

Daniels has added 12 pounds of muscle in the off-season, while keeping his speed. He is a player to watch this season in Ohio.

I still don't see the Cinci offer listed, but either way it doesn't drastically change my perception of Daniels. I think either Tapscott or he would be fine as a second back in the class, but that's clearly not the case. Nevertheless, at least both are FBS talents and hopefully one of the two will develop. Also, I can't believe that Spaz has lowered the bar so far that I'm legitimately talking myself into players whose best offers are from the MAC.

You still could get your wish.

The EA guy (not TGOSB) says we dropped Tapscott for academic reasons.

[bchockey04]

I kinda like his film. Pretty good speed and can shed tacklers too.

[twballgame9]

I agree, shifty back.

[31southst]

Interesting about Tapscott. I guess academics is possible if the end of the year grade were bad but I don't know that I fully buy that. In any event, like I said, I think Daniels is a very solid second back in a class. Now hopefully we get a good one for the first back (I'm not holding my breath on this).

[garf112]

I like him. Looks like just about every running back BC has ever had. Not super fast. Hard to tackle. He runs a bit too straight up and needs to keep his pads down.

It's funny, this is the kind of back we should have gotten in the 2012 class. Same thing with QBs. We should have had one like either Lowrie or Boyle in the 2012 class. I guess better late than never?

My mistake, I was looking at the "attended camp" column

[NJM89]

Definitely an upgrade over Tapscott basing it off his film. Tapscott did look good but he was just way too small and not a breakaway burner that running backs his size that succeed. Good luck to Josh wherever he ends up but this Daniels kid got some good size and speed. Not satisfied though we still need a premier back in this class.

[BCSUPERFAN22]

Jack McDonald to UVA per Justin Rowland on the twitter machine

[HJS]

Good thing GDF made the tough move by promoting Spaz (who Farrell claimed was the best recruiter of anyone expressing interest) to continue Jags/TOB success instead of doing the easy route and hiring an unproven flash-in-the-pan coach like Mike London.

Can we have UVA's recruits or coaches in either sport?

ATL has pointed this out but lost an OL from Everett, Matt Ryan's cousin, Chase Rettig's brother, Coach Commish's cousin, and Bosa's son. Any one of these is excusable in a vacuum, but together they're a disaster. The worst part is I think Gene is the only person surprised by how hard it is to recruit with a 66 year old coach who has gotten worse every year he's been an HC.

#1 Mass recruit - ND;

DLine Coach's cousin/nephew - GTech.

It seems like the closer ties/more knowledge you have about our program, the less likely you are to come. Which unfortunately makes some sense.

We could have a great recruiting year with just those guys, yet Spaz = FAIL
