2017 Recruiting Thread

[BCSUPERFAN22]

Per 247 ...

- Pasqualoni was at Erasmus Hall (Brooklyn, NY) for a number of 2017/2018 recruits (WR Jahquel Webb '17, DT Selwin Wilks '17, WR Sean Ryan '18 and DT Matthew Jones '18)

- Loeffler was in SC visiting '17 QB Jay Urich, 6'4/200lb from Wren, SC. Holds offer from South Carolina and a number of other small schools.

- Also looks like BC just offered Drew McQuarrie at QB (per his QB coaches Facebook page/twitter). 6'5/215 from Weare, NH.

Why are we offering kids from Andover and New Hampshire?

[HJS]

What position did we offer the NH kid? Have to assume WR.

If he's huge, white and slow I'd assume WR

Losing Jonathan Lewis....no big deal with Brown in the class ahead I imagine?

BC wasn't recruiting Lewis towards the end. the kid from New Hampshire's video is weird, he barely throws the ball, 80% of the time he's pulling and running against garbage competition, can't imagine the offer is as a QB. The offer information was posted by his qb coach, Todd Krueger who played in NFL, but doesn't give any insight as to specifics.

Also, BC has Frank Darby on campus this weekend. Was a '16 Iowa commit who ran into academic issue. That has been worked out and he is qualified now. Would be a nice late addition to the '16 class

What position did we offer the NH kid? Have to assume WR.

Good question. Wouldn't surprise me if they offered an initial shot at QB (like Flutie & Jeff Smith), but only after concluding he has the frame to grow into hybrid TE, rush DE, or maybe WR. This kid is huge, fast, and far more filled out than Sweeny or Kiwi at 16-17 years old.

He looks fast because he's playing football in New Hampshire

Relative to the meager competition, you would think he runs a 4.5.

But even if these were solo drills, I think the video confirms the reported 6'5"+ height, 220lbs, and 4.75 speed. He has quick feet and good balance for a big guy. Apparently he's pretty good at lacrosse and basketball. He scheduled to attend a bunch of summer camps, so we'll know soon.

I look forward to him getting some baby rapists offers so eppy can then come on here and complain about Dazoo "striking out" on another elite local. Essentially, this is the shittiest of shitty offers right up until the moment it becomes our biggest ever loss (See, Dalton, Danny).

[BCSUPERFAN22]

- New 2017 offer out to Rick Squires, 6'2/202lb ATH from Penn Hills HS in Pittsburgh. Iowa State offer to date.

- UCLA offered CJ Holmes from Cheshire Academy

- 2018 offers out to Julian Major (6'1/185lb WR from Penn Hill HS in Pittsburgh), Dan Dawkins (6'4/295lb DE/OL from Peddie School in NJ - BC and UNC offers) and Justin Shorter (6'4/180lb WR from South Brunswick, NJ - Pitt, Rutgers, Duke offers)

[BCSUPERFAN22]

Possible new name to keep an eye on. Neiko Creamer was a c/o 2014 WR/TE from Eastern Christian Academy in Ekelton, MD. He is originally from Delaware and was same class/age as Darius Wade. Chose Tennessee over offers from BC, Rutgers, Syracuse and West Virginia and just announced his intention to transfer. He was RS Freshman in 2015, so would have to sit a year before playing and getting 2 years of eligibility.

Don't know if BC will be in play going forward, but at least a name to watch based on his home state being the same as Wade's (and possible relationship) and BC's interest during his recruitment. Would fit that jumbo athlete/big WR that Addazio utilized in year 1/2.

Kinesiology major at UT. What is the admissions office supposed to do with that? No snark, legitimate question.

[MF73-Eleazar]

my contact in admissions said that there's an Ohio St 5th yr football kid visiting for possible transfer. name of player not provided.

[joesim]

could it be the armani reeves kid?

[twballgame9]

They only have 5-6 graduate students.

[DomingoOrtiz]

26 Barnes, Jarrod SAF 5-11 193 SR Westerville, Ohio (South)
15 Howard, Cameron DB 6-1 203 SR Columbus, Ohio (Gahanna Lincoln)

[twballgame9]

They are identified in the media guide. The RB Dunn is one, at least two OL (the likely position) and one WR that is a 6th year

[twballgame9]

Smith is the WR, LBs Burger and Fada, C Elfein, and RB Dunn. All but Smith lettered three times.

[MF73-Eleazar]

Sorry, I'm still trying to dig for a name. If I get it, I'll post it.

With our luck, we're getting the Punter from Australia. Ugh.

Tell him some of your "friends" would like to know about the fluidity of his hips, among other things.

[MF73-Eleazar]

Ha.

I asked whether the kid was offense/defense.

Follow up text I rec'd: "Leo Ferrine called wanting to bring him in to speak to an advisor about or [sic] MS program. [An appt was ] set up...for 1:30, but our advisor moved their offices to Carney, so I didn't see him."

He's still digging. All I got so far.

[BCSUPERFAN22]

From a roster perspective, I would guess a 5th year OL would make most sense. The punter obv is a long shot with Ziffer coming. A RB doesn't have a clear enough path to immediate playing time.

Obviously the Reeves thing makes sense considering location. There is also a precedent for his situation when TyMeer Brown came here after not being cleared to play elsewhere.

[hinghameagle]

whoever it is it shouldn't be a problem getting him in,,ohio state football transcripts usually translate very well through the BC admissions process.." You played football but didn't take any classes the past semester... your junior season shows a WIFF(Withdrawal, incomplete, and two F's).

[BCSUPERFAN22]

Tried to go thru this list. Most of these guys are walk-ons. Bolded a few names that could make sense (aside from Reeves which makes the most sense).

44 Ferrelli, Guy TE 6-1 245 SR Columbus, Ohio (Bishop Ready)
- Believe he has exhausted his eligibility. Was walk-on
62 Parry, Aaron OL 6-5 275 SR Zanesville, Ohio (Bishop Rosecrans)
- Walk-on in spring '14. Played both OL and DL.
23 McDaniel, Devlin WR 5-11 195 SR Marion, Ohio (Marion Pleasant)
- Walk-on. Doubtful (also I think is too young).
44 Mawhirter, Aaron LS 6-1 230 SR Sandusky, Ohio (Perkins)
- Invited walk-on. Long snapper. Doubtful
18 Lawless, Michael SAF 6-2 210 SR Dover, Ohio (Tuscarawas Central Catholic)
- Walked on in 2014.
84 Smith, Corey WR 6-1 195 SR Akron, Ohio (Akron Buchtel)
- Went juco route, played his first year with OSU in '14. No clue where he is academically, possible I suppose
95 Johnston, Cameron P 5-11 195 SR Geelong, Australia (St. Joseph's)
46 Haney, Cin'Quan SAF 6-1 200 SR Dayton, Ohio (Chaminade-Julianne)
- Walked on prior to 2015 season. Unlikely
32 Goins, Elijaah CB 6-1 195 SR Concord, N.C. (Cox Mill)
- Walked on prior to 2015 season. Unlikely.
20 Franklin, Khaleed SAF 6-1 215 SR Columbus, Ohio (Beechcroft)
- PWO, joined program in 2013, most likely only true junior in '15
19 Ramstetter, Joe WR 6-3 225 SR Cincinnati, Ohio (Elder)
- Walk on, only true junior, most likely not eligible to graduate yet.
38 Fada, Craig LB 6-1 230 SR Columbus, Ohio (Bishop Watterson)
- RS in 2012. Played '13/'14/'15. Could be option for 5th year transfer.
36 Turnure, Zach LB 6-1 235 SR St. Louis, Mo. (CBC)
- Previously played lax at OSU, joined FB program in 2014, so has played 2 years. Not sure where he is with eligibility.
65 Elflein, Pat OL 6-3 300 SR Pickerington, Ohio (North)
- RS in 2012. Started all 15 games during NC season. 3* OL in HS with Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana offers. Could be possibility.
30 Durbin, Tyler K 6-3 200 SR Fairfax, Va. (Lake Braddock)
25 Dunn, Bri'onte RB 6-0 215 SR Canton, Ohio (GlenOak)
- Started as TFR in 2012, RS in 2013, so in theory could be 5th year. 4* top 150 RB in HS with ND, PSU, Tenn, Mich and MSU offers
28 Cibene, Michael SAF 6-0 185 SR Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (Pine Crest)
- Former walk-on in 2013. Has played 3 years, unlikely.
2 Wilson, Dontre HB 5-10 195 SR DeSoto, Texas (DeSoto)
- Played as True FR in 2013, so has played 3 seasons. Unless he is ahead of time academically, probably not 5th year.
48 Burger, Joe LB 6-2 230 SR Cincinnati, Ohio (LaSalle)
- Was PWO at tOSU. Has played 3 years after RS in 2012, would fit 5th year profile.
26 Barnes, Jarrod SAF 5-11 193 SR Westerville, Ohio (South)
- Walked on to OSU after transferring from Louisville. Unlikely as his eligibility is most likely up
15 Howard, Cameron DB 6-1 203 SR Columbus, Ohio (Gahanna Lincoln)
- Walked on in 2015, his senior year. Unlikely to fit 5th year transfer.

[MF73-Eleazar]

CB Armani Reeves from West Roxbury. Catholic Memorial.

That is all.

[MF73-Eleazar]

got a tweet from an OSU fan re: Reeves "big time OSU recruit early in Urban era.Had 4 concussions by junior year that forced him to give up FB high quality kid"
