What a surprise that Stanford has offered. Seems like they offered every HS Sr this recruiting year.

 

[swg]

Stanford just throws out offers. Then they worry about whether they can become eligible (which isn't easy). Of course, this is how the SEC operates.

 

[swg]

Will attend ND junior day on March 20.

 

[Little Danny]

I would love for us to get him. He is a heck of a talent and I would love for UC to get their foot in the door with the DeSales program. There is a lot of talent that comes out of that program every year, unfortunately the talent always goes to the B10.

 

[swg]

West Virginia has offered.

Fecko is a Big 10 homer. He steers his kids in that direction at every opportunity.

 

[swg]

Purdue has offered.

 

[swg]

Surprised tOSU has yet to offer. UC needs to make a strong push, as I'm sure BK will at ND. They need strong DE in their 3-4.

 

[swg]

Louisville has now offered.

 

[ImmortalIconForever]

Surprised tOSU has yet to offer.

I think I heard they have already had 2 DEs commit for this class.

 

[swg]

That's what I saw as well, and good point. Some coaches aren't inclined to move players around. BK classified certain players into 'bigs', and might shift them around to another area of need. In my mind, if OSU wants to take a pass on this kid, then good for UC. I think he'll be a solid player in college.

 

[swg]

Wisconsin has offered.

 

[swg]

Planning to visit Michigan and ND within the month.

 

[swg]

Michigan and ND lead for Rock, as OSU has shown little interest due to the current commits.

Michigan has offered.

 

[swg]

Has plans on going back to Michigan and ND at some point, as well as checking out Pitt.

 

[swg]

Offered by Nebraska.

 

[swg]

Virginia offered.

 

[swg]

Rock was told that the Irish are filled up with DE at this time (another commit is expected from Lynch), so his offer is off the table.
Time for BJ to step up since OSU and ND are out of the picture. Michigan looms large, however.
