The recruiting, the rumors and the speculation have been running wild all
week in San Antonio. We have websites trying to make themselves relevant by
creating their own rumors and news such as "Lucas Nix looking at Ohio State"
"Where there is smoke there is fire"", "Terrelle Pryor is headed here and
there" Patrick Johnson ate cereal for breakfast", "Nigel Bradham did not wear
his grille today" "The Ohio State commit is talking to the Notre Dame commit, oh
no this must mean Kyle Rudolph is rethinking his decision? This kid and that kid
is looking at this school and that school. Meanwhile most of these kids just sit
around and laugh at the actions of us all.
It's all in fun and it's the business that we love, but one thing we know for certain is that
nine players are scheduled to make their college decisions during the U.S. Army
All-American Bowl and we are going to try our best to figure out where they are
going.
There is the possibility of a tenth announcement from South Carolina standout
Robert Quinn. The four-star defensive end has missed the whole week of practice
, but will be here for the game and we have gotten word that he may announce his
intentions.
Announcing prior to kickoff
RB Ryan Williams 5-10/205/4.45
Manassas/VA/Stonewall Jackson
Choices: Virginia Tech and Boston College
Selection: Williams has heard all kinds of rumors about him this week,
but truth be told there aren't a lot of good players in Virginia that actually
leave the state and we don't suspect Williams will be the exception on
Saturday...Virginia Tech
Confidence Meter: 95%
Decision: Hokies Land All-American Williams
Announcing During First Quarter
RB Covaughn Deboskie 5-11/185/4.40
Chandler/AZ/Hamilton
Choices: California, Arizona State and Stanford
Selection: From everything we have gathered here in Texas Deboskie is
headed to Cal. It's tough for a running back to resist the recent history of
very good running backs that the Bears are producing...CALIFORNIA
Confidence Meter: 100%
Decision: Deboskie Heads to Cal
S Brandon Smith
6-2/210/4.50 New Brunswick/NJ
Choices: Michigan, South Carolina and Rutgers
Selection: Rutgers fans are probably hoping that Smith follows
the same path as standout tackle Anthony Davis, but we don't see that happening.
Word has it that Smith's mom doesn't want him to go to Rutgers. He is intrigued
by South Carolina and the chance to play both ways, but he smiles like a
butchers dog and his eyes light up whenever he talks about the love he has had
for the Wolverines since childhood, so you guessed it...MICHIGAN
Confidence Meter: 75%
Decision: Coach Rodriguez Racks Up All-American
Announcing During Second Quarter
QB MarQueis Gray
6-4/205/4.60 Indianapolis/IN/Ben Davis
Choices: Oregon and Minnesota
Selection: After watching Gray this week it is pretty easy to say that
whichever team gets him is getting a steal. This kid can play and teams backed
off of him, due to a senior injury. We are hearing that Coach Brewster is
landing the player who may turn his team around...MINNESOTA
Confidence Meter: 85%
Decision: Gray picks Minnesota
DE Shayne Hale 6-3.5/240/4.65
Monroeville/PA/Gateway
Choices: Pittsburgh and Ohio State
Selection: Do you pick the perennial powerhouse Ohio State Buckeyes or
the up-and-coming Pittsburgh Panthers? We feel that Hale stays home and joins
his best friend Cameron Saddler...PITTSBURGH
Confidence Meter: 100%
Decision: Pitt is It for Hale
Pre-kick Third Quarter
WR Gerell Robinson 6-3/210/4.60
Chandler/AZ/Hamilton
Choices: Arizona State and Notre Dame
Selection: Everything we have been hearing the past twelve hours is pointing
to Arizona State. Yes, it is shocking especially to Notre Dame fans. Robinson
could choose the Irish, but that is not what we are hearing presently. The
four-star wide receiver made a remark this week about not wanting to be the
fourth wide receiver at any school. So yes, we are reading between the lines and
guessing...ARIZONA STATE
Confidence Meter: 60%
Decision: ASU Lands Commitment From Robinson
Announcing During Third Quarter
OL/DT A.J. Harmon 6-5.5/328/5.47
Louisville/GA/Jefferson County
Choices: Clemson and Georgia
Selection: Harmon loves Clemson, but it is tough to resist the Dawgs
when you live in Georgia and it is our guess that he doesn't resist and he stays
at home...GEORGIA
Confidence Meter: 90%
Decision: Harmon is Now a Dawg
Announcing During Fourth Quarter
DT Solomon Koehler 6-2/304/5.00
Kaneohe/HI/Castle
Choices: Arizona and Hawaii
Selection: The biggest wild-card in this whole equation may be
Koehler's academic status. We have heard he favors Arizona, but he may have a
better shot at qualifying at Hawaii and that throws a wrench in our guess...ARIZONA
Confidence Meter: 55%
Decision: Solomon Koehler is a Wildcat
CB Patrick Johnson 6-1/197/4.45
Pompano Beach/Fla/Blanche Ely
Choices: LSU, Florida, Ohio State and Miami
Selection: The last time we saw this much drama down to the wire was
back when Jai Eugene was all set to head to Michigan and he put on the LSU hat.
Just as late as last night we heard that Johnson was being wooed by the "Brew
Crew". I have heard that he already called the LSU coaches and told them he was
coming. This week we have also heard that Florida had a better shot than most
figured they would. This may be the toughest guess of the year...LSU
Confidence Meter: 60%
Decision: Johnson Makes Switch to LSU
