3A Players - Recruiting Talk

[Milk That Cow]

Those with the scoop, who are some of the players who have committed already to play college ball somewhere and those who are being recruited...

[TexanFan4Life]

Sophomore Running Back Dexter Downey of Sealy isn't being recruited YET, but trust me...this kid is going to make tremendous strides at Sealy High School and go places in the future.

I realize this isn't what you were looking for, but I had to throw it out there.

[g$$]

Brock Fitzhenry (Giddings) - Texas
Dexter Pratt (Navasota) - 2009 national recruit
Chris Whaley (Madisonville) - 2009 national recruit

Justin Johnson - OU
**Gilmer has like 4 D1 recruits, others will name them

Just a few to get started...

[IHStangFan]

Keep wondering if Wilkerson from Needville has gotten any looks from anyone. I haven't heard.

D'anton Lynne -Celina-Penn State

Looked all over, only googling he brings up is a few newspaper clips and some talk on a 5A football site. I'm sure that he will at least get some interest from the D3/Juco level, if not SHSU or TSU or one of the local FCS schools.

[State_In_08]

Pratt gets letters from schools all over the nation almost everyday... I personally counted 25+ one day.

Yeah, but he is still undecided. I think that he will have an offer from every D1 school out there before he makes his mind up.

[State_In_08]

Oh yeah, definitely. Texas A&M, Texas, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Arkansas seem to be the big 5 at the moment, but he's got a whole year, that could easily change. I did see a couple letters from USC though.;)

[Milk That Cow]

What about Kortlin White at Rockdale and Allen Dock at Giddings....

Where are they thinking about playing next year?

Where are they thinking about playing next year? If Alan was bigger he would be d1 for sure to schools like USC, Florida, Texas, Michigan, and etc.

[giddingsblazer2]

Alan Dock=Tulsa Golden Hurricanes........

[pittqueen]

Kendall Wright- Pittsburg, committed to Texas A&M in march, decommitted, and now has standing scholarship offers from OU, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Houston, and Nebraska.

Not every D1 school needs him.

[baseballmom]

COlumbus has the quaterback Beird linebacker Lyendecker are geeting some looks from Montanna State, Nichols State in La. and some others, but I do not know who.

[g$$]

I read where Columbus has an OL named Waddle for next year's class. Probably related to former Texas Aggie WR Percy Waddle (there have been many Waddles come thru Columbus). Percy was a top recruit in the 1980s.

Anybody know the relation?

[Aesculus gilmus]

Gilmer's in addition to Justin Johnson are:

OL Daniel Jenkins: Missouri
OL David Snow: UT
WR Lamar Harris: Texas A&M (if he has changed his mind because of the coaching change, I haven't heard about it)
WR Houston Tuminello: Louisiana Tech

[firstcat]

It doesn't matter how many letters you get.
I got this info from a NCAA recruiter. He says that the letters just mean you have hit the mailing list, thousands are sent out.
He pointed out that, if you'll notice, once your name/picture hit a large market newspaper, the letters usually start coming in (his words, not mine).
After the first few letters, the mailing list expands and you begin to get more. Much like junk mail process.
He also said that if you don't receive a phone call or a visit in April, then you "aren't on anyones true radar".
He said that the letters are more of a tool to recruit interest in the school itself, not particularly for the teams.
Just passing this on for what it is worth.

Is Wilkerson a junior or a senior?

Does Justin Johnson have any relation to Manuel Johnson?

[Aesculus gilmus]

Justin and Manuel Johnson are cousins, as I understand it.

I don't know if they're first cousins, though. It seems as if it's more distant than that.

What is up with you hating on Navasota? Now you are starting to hate on Navasota's players.

QB/DB for Pittsburg but the scouting services are listing him at WR or just ATH.

yea:clap: .... Think of how many RB's are recruited every year by each D1 school.... Yea, thats alot, and I guarantee you he is nowhere near the top of that list.

[Texasfootball2]

Tom Bradys new born son is schedule to move in the Wylie school district and is the #1 recruit in nation for the class of 2026. Hopefully we will still be 3A, unless somebody drops the ball that shouldn't be a problem.

I kinda thought about that after I posted...but it is better to be real, right? Then again, remember Rudy? Anything can happen if you refuse to let it NOT happen!
He said .008% of high school football players go on to play in D-1 schools...not very many in the grand scheme of things.

So what does it mean when your Head Football Coach gets a call from Charlie Weis and Mack Brown asking about a player? Does that mean he is just getting junk phone calls?

ok you clearly didnt understand his point, and its pretty apparent you dont understand the recruiting process

[LH Panther Mom]

I know Allman has some opportunities. I don't know "all" but one is in Arkansas. (I need to pay better attention. :doh: )

LaAdrian Waddle. Anybody know more on him? Supposedly huge & fairly athletic. Good genetics too.

I'd say that falls into the line of "on the radar"...much different than a letter.

Thanks bull! But who is "he"? He's a she!

[BMOC]

What about the Clay kid from Snyder? He is a pretty good RB. Has he committed anywhere, or is anyone looking at him?

I can't find him in the Rival or Scout databases. If he is not there at this point in a kid's senior year, it probably means that he isn't getting recruited by any DI's.
