2013 Recruiting Thread

[HJS]

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;
#2 Mass recruit (and Catholic high school) - Michigan;
Matt Ryan's cousin - ND
Bosa's son - 0.0hio State
DLine Coach's cousin/nephew - GTech.
Rettig's brother - LSU.

An OL from BOSTON COLLEGE HS - UVA.

Mark Chmura's son - MSU

Saw that but I don't think we were recruiting him?

If we weren't recruiting him, then that is even a greater indictment. How many recruits will we land this year that garnered significant interest from MSU???

Brad Henson to UVA.

Lemme guess - he's Gene's godson?

New excuse regarding Jack McDonald from MF:

Jack was all BC until a family member (non football) was rejected by BC by admissions. That was essentially the end of that. Have this from numerous good sources around BC High and the area. And no, BC football can't get non-family members past admissions even if they are related to a top football target. Another disadvantage for the Eagles.

This likely eliminates any small chance of swinging Mo Hurst back to BC and will hurt with Tevin Montgomery as well.

My favorite part is the preemptive downgrade of our chane with Montgomery, even though I'm pretty sure he had previously said Montgomery and McDonald weren't particularly tight.

Only took one day for the EA article on Milan Collins (Bishop McNamara, MD) being a BC recruit for him to verbal to Maryland.

This cant be true. How can someone tie their future to some dopey cousin getting into a college or not. This just stinks of HCGDF sending out the bat signal for TGOSB and Blauds to turn on the bull shit machines.

I dont know that it was in fact a cousin, was just using that as an example, for how petty it is to let that kind of decision be dictated by someone else being accepted or not. Whoever it was, if they did in fact get accepted to UVA academically (from outside the state of VA), they must not have been that far off from being an acceptable BC candidate.

Obviously, this is complete bullshit. BC sends acceptance letters in December for Early Action and in February for Regular Decision. Last I checked it is June.

Darron Lee to Ohio St

You're not going to pull kids from Ohio from Ohio State.

He had a lot of interest in us and we were the first to offer, but obviously he would choose tOSU. He got offered today and committed right away. Looks like we'll most likely get Morrison but hopefully we take 2 safeties in this class.

In other news looks like teamates from Maryland Jacquille Veii (RB,CB) and Rachid Ibrahim (RB,S) both have us as their leader right now. Hopefully we can lock them up, would be good athletes with speed that we all know we need.

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

Maybe the kid was waitlisted and just found out he/she wouldn't make it?

Waitlist letters go out in late May. They would have found out by end of May. I guess that is only a month ago, but it still doesn't compute. Your chances of being admitted off the waitlist are crazy slim (I think about 10% and it depends on the school that you are applying to).

[bceagles24]

BC has Myles Willis on campus today and tommorow. I believe Dan Monteroso was planning on being on campus today as well iirc. OH WR down to BC and Iowa. Iowa leads but said he had to visit BC first before a decision would expect a decsion pretty soon after the visit.

The only way this rumor has any chance of being true is if the family member was denied for the Class of 2014. So, the alleged rumors out of BC High are months old and apparently only now being disclosed after he picked another school. Further, as I referenced in a previous post, for this rumor to make any sense, the relative would've not only had to be rejected from BC but accepted to UVA. Or Farrell is ONCE AGAIN just making crap up to protect the staff (like his guarantee that Kevin Rogers' terminal illness was real). It absolutely boggles the mind that people pay him money.

Swaying Willis would be a HUGE get for the staff, but he will probably switch over to FSU rather than BC

[bignick33]

You're not the only one to bring up this point, but I don't think it's accurate. It's possible that due to the affiliation with BC, preferential treatment was expected of BC and only BC. It's just like how you would have higher expectations of family than you would have of friends or how how you would have higher expectations of friends than strangers. That said, given Farrell's spotty record, I'm not necessarily buying it. Even if it is true, it's the shitty type of nepotism that BC is endeavoring to get away from.

Regardless, with out without MacDonald, local recruiting was a monumental failure.

additionally and without believing farrel, if the person in question did not apply to UVA but did apply to BC I think the rumor still makes some sense.

Quick mock class:

QB(2)- Tim Boyle and I'll go with Chris Laviano(probably going to be their faborite at camp but it seems Martin has taken a liking to Laviano)
RB(2)- Josh Morris and Fred Coppet( I don't think we get any of the current offers but Ellis and Godwin are possibilites, also wish we would offer Laray Smith UCONN might get a good one there)
WR(2)- Charles Callinan and Dionte Taylor
TE(2)- Andrew Isaacs and either O'Neil or Nathan Marcus( There still going after TEs so I'm going to assume they want 2 for whatever reason. I think Isaacs sticks.)
OL(3)- Brad Henson,John Montelus,and Jack McDonald( Henson loves BC, Montelus is very close with the other MA kids and we should land them all so I think he will join them but that one is a coin flip I'm 50/50 on him as of now. This class should once again be very good on the OL)
DE(2)- Shakir Sotoand Thomas Plonski(Soto it is still really early with so we'll see what happens there)
DT(3)- Maurice Hurst Jr, Tevin Montgomery, andDarius Commisiong( All 3 are leans and Hurst has decided to visit BC the same day Darius is coming up. I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything but coincidence?)
LB(2)- Cory Jasudowich and Jack Cottrell
DB(2)- John Van Allen and Xavier Hines(Really DB is a total guessing game right now. A couple of new offers out there in Edwards and Baker so we'll see how there interest)
ATH(1)- Kyle Queiro

Also wouldn't be shocked to see them take a K as well. They've already offered one so to me it means they wouldn't mind taking one if they find the right guy. This will probably change alot but the strong points are obviously OL,DL,and WR. Altho the QB and RB groups if that happens I'd be very pleased with.



Going to have a little roundup today as well update to the offer list and all that stuff and then guys to watch at each without offers.

While I appreciate your efforts (which seems a hell of a lot more than what subscribers on EA are getting)... I will paraphrase a post I made last year:
So long as Gene and Spaz are calling the shots... we ain't landing any of them. And, that includes Isaacs who is already committed.

It took about a month for Spaz to completely blow-up this projection. That has to be some sort of record, considering we haven't hit May yet.

Just doing a quick check...
Like last year, I post this not as an indictment on 24's prognastic abilities, but as a resounding statement on Spaz's recruiting (or lack thereof).

Everything that was published said BC-Iowa for him. I guess thats the way that schools are supposed to recruit in state talent, Spaz and crew must have missed that memo.
