OK now put my comment back.

" It's pretty sad that Iowa St and Kansas St have more recuits than we do. and Baylor has better recruits than we do."

:sad1: and :wtf:

[Duff Man]

OK now put my comment back.

" It's pretty sad that Iowa St and Kansas St have more recuits than we do. and Baylor has better recruits than we do."

:sad1: and :wtf:

The quality of the ISU and KSU classes is not good. We are going to finish with far better classes than both. Really nothing to be jealous about with those classes.

Baylor is in Texas. They should recruit decently, especially since they can sell the "up and coming" angle.

Overall, my random thoughts:

1. Texas and Oklahoma still rule the conference. Each have a good shot at finishing in the top five (Texas is currently #1).
2. Kansas has a established a DFW stronghold. They are not going away anytime soon.
3. Mizzou recruiting is a little preplexing. They really do not seem to be capitalizing on their recent success.
4. A little surprised to see NU stagnating a bit as well. Five commits, with one of those being a bit tenuous.
5. Texas A&M could end up with a very good class if they make a bowl, but if they are as bad as everyone expects (last in the South), I could see a lot of those guys jumping ship.

[buffwings]

The class at the end of the season may be far different from what we have today, but "IF's" and "maybe's" arent very comforting right now. RIGHT NOW, our recruiting is a sad state of affair. I agree, a good or bad season may cause a lot of changes for most any team in the NCAA, but we are currently dead last in the conference and its frankly a pretty $hitty place to be.

[Duff Man]

So quantity is all that matters? Because that is essentially what you're saying when you get all bent out of shape being behind KSU and ISU right now (who actually are ranked behind us right now because a good majority of their recruits are currently unrated). I can absolutely guarantee you we will finish far ahead of them when it matters in February. I have no doubt about that.

The coaches would be blasted either way. Either they have too few recruits or they're taking guys that are not good enough.

We actually are off to a pretty good start. You could argue our first four recruits are the best first four recruits of any Hawk class to date. A few wins and the bigger names will give us the official visits. I'm not saying we're destined for a top 10 class, but I think we can land top 25 with some wins.

Colorado - 4 verbals (http://www.allbuffs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37046)
Recruit Breakdown by State
Texas - 101
Kansas - 11
Oklahoma - 8
Missouri - 6
Colorado - 5
Louisiana - 5
California - 4
Florida - 3
Arkansas - 2
Iowa - 2
Nebraska - 2
Illinois - 1

The lack of a Texas pipeline is killing us. We need some guys that have ties to Texas. Johnson is start, but we need someone else to help us break in. There's no way we make it back to the top of the Big12 without quality guys from Texas.

[Buffnik]

August 10th Update:

Maryland QB Billy Cosh verbal to KSU. Rated 2*, 3*, 3*. Dad's an assistant coordinator at KSU, so not a big surprise.

[Buffnik]

August 11th Update:

Florida WR Kadron Boone verbal to Texas Tech. Rated 4*, 3*, 4*. Huge pickup for TTU.

Kansas ATH Justin McCay verbal to Oklahoma. Rated 4*, 5*, 4*. Great OLB or WR.

[BehindEnemyLines]

surprises:

Tejass with only 1 5* recruit (lots of 4's, tho)

kjsu with only 4 juco's (huh????)

[Buffnik]

August 12th Update:

Louisiana CB Urell Johnson commits to Texas Tech. Very good size/speed combo athlete that CU had offered. Decommitted from Southern Miss fairly recently.

[Buffnik]

August 13th Update:

Texas LB Shaun Lewis verbals to Oklahoma State. Rated 4*, 4*, 4*. Widely considered one of the top 20 outside linebacker prospects in the nation.

[Buffnik]

August 14th Update:

Texas DL Dominique Henderson (NR, 3*, 2*) gave his verbal to Baylor. CU was in the running and may have been his #2 among programs that offered.

[Buffnik]

Missouri OL Nick Demien (4*, 4*, 4*) decided to stay home and verbaled to Mizzou. I'm not sure how in the running CU was for him (we had offered). This really strengthens Mizzou's class.

[buffwings]

OUr class is going to suck until the kids out there start seeing some W's. 2009 is critical with a Nat'l venue of several games that will be televised nationally and in several of these kids living rooms. Hawk needs to show them and the rest of the CFB world that CU is on the up and up. BUT, that will only happen, and I know I am stating the obvious, when he puts some good W's on the board. At this stage of the game all we can do (at least that's how I am dealing with it) is to be patient and see what transpires at the season progresses. The wins and losses will speak volumes about Hawk and his leadership of this program, and the success of CU football in the near future.

[Mick Ronson]

win 8+ games and we're a team on the rise with a lot of young talent....and the 4* guys will take a look. we land a good class, #15-25.

win 6 games and we've got another #35-45 class and an uncertain future for the staff (which will also hurt recruiting).

[Buffnik]

August 17th update:

TX DT Diamonte Wheeler (NR, 3*, 3*) committed to Okie State. They now have 17 verbals for 2010.

[buffsyko]

Agree big time. CU will have plenty of national games to showcase themselves. Prospects are going and going, CU seems to be behind..

[Buffnik]

August 19th Update:

Oklahoma State landed two new recruits. Top DT out of Tulsa, OK Calvin Barnett (4*, 4*, 4*) and sleeper DB out of Derby, KS Devin Hedgepeth (3*, NR, 2*).

[Buffarino]

August 12th Update:

Louisiana CB Urell Johnson commits to Texas Tech. Very good size/speed combo athlete that CU had offered. Decommitted from Southern Miss fairly recently.

Man, unless you are a QB or a WR, why on earth would you pick Lubbock over Boulder? Man, talk about one extreme (Beautiful, great weather) to another (ugly as hell, hot, windy, dusty).

I'll never get that.

Recruits see those high flying offenses and wins. They have always got the dt's at okie state.

3 losing seasons hasn't helped. CU needs to impress early and end strong. Will there be any quality recruits left?

I think it highlights the need for us to start faster in future years (2011's instate class could give us that chance), but I still think there will be a number of "solid" commits in play toward the end of this recruiting cycle.

[buffsyko]

yup. signing day is a LOOOOONG ways away.

Yep, seems the argument to sign early or wait has no right or wrong answer. It would be nice to have 20 signed right now but then if you lose 5-6 throughout the season it would be a downer.

Then, if you don't sign too many early, seems like many guys on your radar are already off the board and you get terms like" potential, sleepers" etc...

CU has enough national games to impress and get quality guys to check out CU.

[Buffnik]

August 20th Update:

TX Safety Tommie Saunders (3*, 4*, 3*) has committed to Oklahoma State.

Could this be the commitment that ensures Zack Craig doesn't get the OSU offer and commits to CU?

[Buffnik]

August 22nd:

Nebraska secured a verbal from TX DE Donovan Vestal (3*, 3*, NR). Pretty impressive offer list.

[F.I.M.]

Good for Gundy. Now that he got a Littlehead, he won't be so damn wound up.

August 25th update:

Oklahoma picked up a verbal from Missouri TE Trey Millard (4*, 3*, 3*). He plays FB, TE and MLB, but is expected to play an H-back type role for OU.

[Buffnik]

August 26 update:

Texas Tech is now up to 18 commits. They landed Tre'Vante Porter today, a DB out of Oklahoma (3*, 3*, 3*).

[buffwings]

and CU? what are we up to now? 16 or 17 or somewhere around there? :huh:
Thank for the notice.

[buffsyko]

Seriously, what is the use of this thread? Hearing how every other school in the big 12 is getting recruits and we are getting none is pointless.

We're definitely playing catch up. I'm really hoping that we're impressive against CSU and pull a couple commits off that weekend. Plus on national tv.

Then, we go to Toledo and will be on national tv again plus I would expect a couple kids in Ohio we're looking at will make it to that game. Chance we could pull a commit or 2 with that game even though it's away.

Man these first few games are critical not only for this season, but will impact the team for the next couple of seasons.

[F.I.M.]

This is about where Hawk typically is for this time of year. The thing that seems different to me is it appears more schools are working to get the recruits in the fold earlier.

I feel this is a trend that has been developing over the last five years. With more schools getting on board the trend has gained momentum and soon schools that don't will be on the outside looking in.


The real question in my mind is what the attrition rate will be among these early recruits. So far pretty brisk. If this ever changes and these schools start retaining most of these early verbals Hawk may have to rethink the way he recruits

[Duff Man]

4* CB Anterio Sloan has decommitted from NU.

[The Guest]

Okay, I won't.

The 101st kicks The 82nds sorry droopy ass. The 82nd is the Airborne equivelent of Iowa State.

Yeah, we'll see if he's still reading or not...

[Buffnik]

4* CB Anterio Sloan has decommitted from NU.

Thanks for the heads up!

This is great news. And it sounds like he's going SEC. Nebraska won't get him back.

DB Anterio Sloan, AR (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

[exxon]

[Buffnik]

August 31 update:

So you're not going to get too upset if I report that Oklahoma landed its 23rd commitment today with Texas LB Rashod Favors (3*, 4*, 3*)? :wink2:

btw, thanks for the PM. Very cool.

[Buffnik]

Kansas picked up its 14th commit today in Oklahoma MLB Trayvon Henry (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 4*). Kind of a surprise since he was considered an OU lock if they would accept his commitment.

[Duff Man]

If you have a pulse, you can play college football in Kansas.

[Buffnik]

Nebraska Updates:

The Huskers have pulled in 3 new commitments over the past few days.

DE Walker Ashburn, LA (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)
DB Ciante Evans, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)
DB Harvey Jackson, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

They now have 8 verbals.

[Buffnik]

Texas Tech Update:

Over the past few days, the Red Raiders have pulled in the following 2 commitments:

LB Fred Harvey, TN (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)
OL Javius Townsend, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

This brings them to 19 verbals.

[Buffnik]

The mountains don't seem to be as important as wins.

[supahphish]

The mountains don't seem to be as important as wins.
Outside of last year OSU has mostly sucked until you go back to the days of Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders. I don't know why it's his dream school but it's not because of wins.

[96 Buff]

If he's gonna be a 4th generation Cowboy, then that means his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all played for OSU. I'd say that's a pretty ****ing strong emotional tie to the school.

September 15th:

Little housecleaning to get caught up.

September 20th:

Missouri had a de-commitment of ATH Marquise Hill, MO (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN NR). They then picked up a commitment from ATH Henry Josey, TX (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN 2*). Josey is most likely a running back.

[Buffnik]

September 21st:

Missouri re-landed a player that had previously de-committed [TE Eric Waters, TX (Rivals NR, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)]. This brings their total to 15.

[Buffnik]

September 21st:

Big day for Colorado! Landed our 6th and 7th pledges!

CA DE Chidera Uzo-Diribe (Rivals 2*, Scout 2*, ESPN NR)
TX LB Lowell Williams (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

Diribe is supposed to be a 3* on Scout when the new ratings come out.

[Buffnik]

September 22nd:

K-State lands another JUCO and a grandson.

WR Kenny Davis (JC), CA (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)
S/OLB Tate Snyder, KS (Rivals NR, Scout 2*, ESPN NR)

[14er]

September 22nd:

K-State lands another JUCO and a grandson.

WR Kenny Davis (JC), CA (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)
S/OLB Tate Snyder, KS (Rivals NR, Scout 2*, ESPN NR)

Good thing he is not a QB. sheesh

[Buffnik]

September 28th:

Kansas State pulled in its 13th commit (another JUCO).

DT Justin Williams (JC), TX (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)


Iowa State pulled in its 8th commit.

OL Tony Farniok, SD (Rivals 2*, Scout NR, ESPN 3*)

[Buffnik]

September 29th:

Baylor picked up its 13th commitment, beating out OSU and KU for 6'6" 350lb JUCO offensive lineman Robert Griffin.

OL Robert Griffin (JC), TX (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Kansas State has picked up a JUCO defensive tackle:

DT Ray Kibble (JC), TX (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Iowa State got a verbal from a Houston OLB:

LB Cqualin Hubert, TX (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN 3*)

and a 2nd Texas for its 17th commitment:

LB Floyd Mattison, TX (Rivals , Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[buffwings]

so how good are we doing?

[Buffnik]

so how good are we doing?

I really believe we've got some quality guys that have committed. Spond and Jones are 4* guys to lead the class so far. Lots of speed (with good size) among our other targets. My big concern is whether we'll be able to maintain quality while still bringing in a full class of 25 this year.

Looking at the rest of the North, it's not that impressive and we've got a good chance to be right there at the top.

[buffwings]

I dont know how many kids are going to be convinced with the current HC, and IF Hack gets canned that may or may not reflect well on recruiting.

[Buffnik]

I dont know how many kids are going to be convinced with the current HC, and IF Hack gets canned that may or may not reflect well on recruiting.

It does seem like a lot of CU targets are taking a wait-and-see approach this year. I believe a new coach would help this class tremendously.

[Buffnik]

Nebraska poached an Oklahoma State recruit this week:

DE Chase Rome, MO (Rivals 4*, Scout 4*, ESPN 4*)

Rome also plays some DT.

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma picked up its 24th commitment this week:

OL Daryl Williams, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

Mizzou was also after him.

[Buffnik]

Iowa State picked up its 10th commitment:

OL Shaban Dika, TX (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[F.I.M.]

Some nice classes starting to shape up for our competition. Even lowly ISU with 10 commits now. Looks like most of the teams in the B12 are continuing to carry the banner for quality football. In the years to come we'll have plenty of B12 teams to cheer for during the bowl season.

[Buffnik]

Iowa State picked up its 11th (and best, imho) commitment:

OL Bob Graham, OK (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

Kansas and CSU had also been in the running for him.

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma State picked up its 23rd commitment:

ATH Joseph Randle, KS (Rivals 4*, Scout 4*, ESPN 3*)

He's probably a RB but maybe a Safety. Really good prospect, so at least he went to the Big 12 South (KU & KSU were also on him).

[Buffnik]

Iowa State is up to 13 commitments with the addition of 2 solid prospects:

DB Adrian Bennett, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

TE Pierce Richardson, CA (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 2*)

[Buffnik]

Iowa State landed #14:

ATH Jarvis West, FL (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN 2*)

Primarily a WR, West is a little guy (5'6") but is a burner (4.3 - 4.5 forty).

[Buffnik]

Iowa State picked up its 15th pledge with a in-state 6'5" 260 defensive lineman:

DT Brandon Jensen, IA (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Nebraska picked up its 10th and 11th commitments this week:

ATH Curtis Carter, LA (Rivals 4*, Scout 2*, ESPN 3*)... a speedster who is likely a WR

WR Quincy Enunwa, CA (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)... decent size, average speed

[Buffnik]

Iowa State notched its 16th commitment this week by snagging a Safety out of Florida:

DB Clifford Morgan, FL (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Kansas pulled in commitment #15:

LB Ed Fink, IL (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Texas Tech reeled in its 21st commitment this week:

OL Eric Lawson, MS (Rivals 3*, Scout 2*, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

so how good are we doing?

Our quality's good. Right there with Nebraska at the top of the North.

If I was going to rate the Big 12 right now:

1. Oklahoma
2. Texas
3. Oklahoma State
4. Texas A&M
5. Nebraska
6. Texas Tech
7. Baylor
8. Colorado
9. Missouri
10. Kansas
11. Iowa State
12. Kansas State

It's really fluid, though. We could easily move up.

[Buffnik]

Iowa State got their 18th pledge:

OL Ben Loth, CA (Rivals 3*, Scout 2*, ESPN 2*)

[Buffnik]

Texas got its 20th commit (and first non-Texas) by poaching one of the top players in the nation away from Lane Kiffin.

ATH DeMarco Cobbs, OK (Rivals 4*, Scout 5*, ESPN 4*)

Cobbs probably plays WR at UT.

[F.I.M.]

Our quality's good. Right there with Nebraska at the top of the North.

If I was going to rate the Big 12 right now:

1. Oklahoma
2. Texas
3. Oklahoma State
4. Texas A&M

9. Missouri
10. Kansas

Rivals sees it just a little differently than you do

1. UT
2. OU
3. A&M
4. OKIE LIGHT
5. TECH with their fat, little girlfriends in tow
6. KANSAS
7. Hucksters
8. MISSOURI
9. BAYLOR
10. KSU
11. OUR PROUD GOLDEN BUFFS
12. ISU

The first 5 are B12 south, doesn't bode well for the north.

Pretty close. They like KU's class a lot more than I do (and Baylor's a lot less). Also, the Fuskers and Buffs got downgraded by them based on quantity. Hopefully we make a nice jump in the Rivals rankings after this weekend.

Keep in mind that the Buffs are behind the eight ball a bit with numbers at this juncture. I like the class thus far (do not love it), but I am going to be really disappointed if we sign a very small class (again).

[Buffnik]

Okie Lite was able to poach a commitment from Mizzou. OSU up to 24, MU down to 14.

OL Jacob Jenkins, TX (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[F.I.M.]

Keep in mind that the Buffs are behind the eight ball a bit with numbers at this juncture. I like the class thus far (do not love it), but I am going to be really disappointed if we sign a very small class (again).

I really don't know what kind of class we will have when the dust finally settles from this season.

[Buffnik]

Mizzou has picked up its 15th pledge this week, a very good weakside pass rusher:

DE Kony Ealy, MO (Rivals 4*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma pulled in its 25th commitment:

TE Austin Haywood, OK (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

Haywood is a big Tight End (6'5", 240) that CU was recruiting but hadn't offered. OU was his dream offer, so this was expected to happen if the Sooners stepped up. Julian Wilson (one of the top 2010 ATH prospects) and Kendal Thompson (one of the top 2011 QB prospects) are HS teammates with Haywood and have both also pledged OU.

[Buffnik]

Just doing a little housecleaning on a couple Big 12 commits from before this weekend:

Iowa State picked up its 19th pledge: LB Jeremiah George, FL (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

Kansas State got another JUCO (15th commit): OL Jordan Allred (Rivals NR, Scout 2*, ESPN NR)

Edit: 8 of KSU's 15 verbals are JUCOS :rolleyes:

[BehindEnemyLines]

Julian Wilson (one of the top 2010 ATH prospects) and Kendal Thompson (one of the top 2011 QB prospects) are HS teammates with Haywood and have both also pledged OU.

I've watched Haywood. Talented, but speed is an issue. The qb (thompson) is the son of one of the land thieves former-greats. No brainer there, as to where he'd go.

One to watch for next year - David Glidden wr/db/kr, Mustang HS. Kid is a playmeker - has 18 td/s this year. 5/10-5/11 range, about 180, and reportedly 4.41 40 time. The Southmoore/Mustang game was for the district championship and featured 4 OU commits (3 aforementioned from Southmoore, plus Bronson Irwin from Mustang), but the most electric player on the field was Glidden.

[Buffnik]

Missouri picked up its 16th pledge, a QB/S prospect with offers from Georgia Tech, LSU and others:

ATH Darvin Ruise, FL (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

The Corn pulled in numbers 12 and 13 this weekend:

DT Jay Guy, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 4*, ESPN 3*)
DB Joshua Mitchell, CA (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Nebraska secured verbal #14:

DE Tobi Okuyemi, MN (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

[Buffnik]

Nebraska's 15th pledge is another defensive lineman:

DT Jake Cotton, NE (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

Jake's dad is the o-line coach at Nebraska and his brother is a RS-Freshman TE.

[Duff Man]

NU's defensive line class is really good. We need to be signing numbers like that every single year.

[Buffnik]

Colorado is now up to 12 commitments for 2010.

The following prospects all pledged following a visit for the Texas A&M game:

LA WR Keenan Canty (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)
LA QB Munchie Legaux (Rivals 3*, Scout 4*, ESPN 3*)
OH TE Justin Favors (Rivals 2*, Scout NR, ESPN 3*)
CA CB Jered Bell (Rivals 3*, Scout 2*, ESPN NR)
CA WR Donnie Duncan (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

There may be more announcements this week. :thumbsup:

[Buffnik]

Nebraska now has 16 verbals:

TE Chase Harper (JUCO), TX (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma State picked up its 25th commitment by poaching a verbal from Rice:

OL Eli Dickerson, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma State snagged its 26th verbal today:

DE Davidell Collins, AR (Rivals 2*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

In the wake of the Mangino resignation, Kansas has had the first of its commitments decide to open things up and look at his other options:

OL Zach Bolton, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

[NMBuff]

NU's defensive line class is really good. We need to be signing numbers like that every single year.

You develop a guy like Suh and have Pelini's pedigree and you have a recipe for recruiting studs on the DL (I know Suh was a Cally recruit, but still). If Hawk can develop Solder into a top 3 pick--which he CAN be--if he stays around he should have his pick at top OTs next year.

:nod: Hawk can also take some of the credit for Ryan Clady, a 2* recruit that Hawk started as a RS-Freshman at Boise. He's already one of the better LTs in the NFL at only 23 years old and was a 1st round draft pick.

[buffsyko]

How many DL have given their verbal to CU? Nebraska has what 6-7 dl?

[Buffnik]

How many DL have given their verbal to CU? Nebraska has what 6-7 dl?

So far just Chidera Uzo-Diribe, a DE. It wouldn't surprise me if we wanted 2 more DEs and 2 DTs.

[buffsyko]

So far just Chidera Uzo-Diribe, a DE. It wouldn't surprise me if we wanted 2 more DEs and 2 DTs.

I hope the quality is still there. Time for bandison to turn it up a notch.

[Buffnik]

Baylor picked up its 14th pledge, a JUCO RB who was once committed to Memphis:

RB Isaac Williams (JC), CA (Rivals 3*, Scout 2*, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Nebraska has had LA ATH (probably WR) Curtis Carter de-commit.

Probably going to be TCU or Missouri now. Carter is rated Rivals 4*, Scout 2*, ESPN 3*.

[Buffnik]

Nebraska lost another commitment today:

QB Tyler Gabbert, MO (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

He's visiting Mizzou along with Curtis Carter, the ATH/WR who also de-committed from the Nubs this week. Both are expected to become Missouri commits. Tyler's brother is the current starting quarterback at MU.

[Buffnik]

Nebraska gained two very good JUCO commits:

LB Lavonte David (JUCO), FL (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN NR)
OL Jermarcus Hardwick (JUCO), MS (Rivals 4*, Scout 4*, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Don't be surprised if Kansas loses an in-state DE commitment this weekend when he takes an official visit to LSU:

DE Geneo Grissom, KS (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

[Buffnik]

Kansas had a de-commitment:
QB Jacoby Walker, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*) is now headed to Utah

But Kansas also got a commitment (15 total):
QB Quinn Meacham (JUCO), UT (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

Texas Tech picked up a couple pledges. They're now at 23:
DT Donald Langley (JUCO), MD (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN NR)
CB Benjamin McRoy, FL (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN 3*)

Missouri has some new commitments (#s 17, 18 and 19):
S Kenronte Walker (JUCO), NC (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)
RB Marcus Murphy, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)
QB Tyler Gabbert, MO (Rivals 4*, Scout 4*, ESPN 3*)

Iowa State got a couple new pledges (#20, #21 and #22):
CB Matthew Thomas, TX (Rivals 2*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)
OL Jon Caspers (JUCO), MN (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)
CB Anthony Young (JUCO), CA (Rivals 4*, Scout 2*, ESPN NR)

Texas pulled in #21, a LSU de-commit:
WR Mike Davis, TX (Rivals 4*, Scout 5*, ESPN 4*)

Baylor got their 15th pledge:
ATH Tuswani Copeland, OK (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN 3*)

Texas A&M picked up #21, a de-commit from Colorado:
RB Mister Jones, CO (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

Colorado is still at 11 commits:
RB Mister Jones, CO (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*) switched his commitment to TAMU
OL Eric Richter (JUCO), CA (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR) gave his verbal

[Buffnik]

Iowa State picked up its 23rd pledge, a JUCO DE:

DE Rony Nelson (JC), FL (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Colorado secured its 12th verbal today, DE Kirk Poston from Houston, TX. He is a 3* on Rivals and ESPN, 2* on Scout. Poston chose CU over scholarship offers from Georgia Tech, Arizona, Kansas State, Duke and hometown Houston.

[Buffnik]

Baylor went down to Georgia to pick up its 16th commit, a DB in a Virginia post-graduate school who had originally committed to Miami in 2009:

DB Prince Kent (PG), GA (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 4*)

[Buffnik]

Texas Tech picked up commit #24 today, JUCO who had originally committed to Cal out of high school. He signed his Letter of Intent:

DE Scott Smith (JC), HI (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma accepted its 26th and 27th pledges:

ATH Tony Jefferson, CA (Rivals 4*, Scout 4*, ESPN 5*)
WR Kenny Stills, CA (Rivals 4*, Scout 5*, ESPN 4*)

[Buffnik]

Missouri picked up its 20th commit, a Safety/Lineback tweener who decommitted from Illinois:

S Daniel Easterly, MI (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

[Buffnik]

Kansas lost an OL pledge from Texas who switched his commitment to Illinois and a TExas DB pledge who switched his verbal to Louisiana Tech.

OL Zach Bolton, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)
DB Antonio Burton, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 2*, ESPN 3*)

Kansas is down to 13 commitments.

[Buffnik]

Missouri secured its 21st commitment:

WR Bud Sasser, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 2*, ESPN 3*)

[Buffnik]

Missouri landed #22, a de-commit from Iowa:

DE Matt Hoch, IA (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Texas A&M picked up commitment #22, another running back:

RB DJ Jones, TX (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

[Buffnik]

Missouri reeled in #23 today, a big time in-state wide receiver:

WR Marcus Lucas, MO (Rivals 4*, Scout 4*, ESPN 4*)

[Buffnik]

Kansas picked up commitment #14: DB Ray Mitchell, TX (Rivals 2*, Scout 2*, ESPN 2)

Nebraska nabbed #17. a WVU de-commit: RB Braylon Heard, OH (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

Oklahoma State got #27: DB Malcolm Murray (JC), CA (Rivals 4*, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Missouri pulled its 24th pledge, a de-commit from Illinois:

DB Dexter McDonald, MO (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

[DallasBuff]

Is there a way to put a thread on ignore? This is the most depressing thread on this board.

[Buffnik]

Texas pulled in commit #25 from a DE that CU had recently offered and was trying to get scheduled for a visit:

DE Dartwan Bush, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 2*, ESPN 3*)

[Buffnik]

Texas A&M's 23rd commit is from the JUCO ranks:

DT Jonathan Mathis (JC), TX (Rivals 4*, Scout 2*, ESPN NR)

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma had a de-commit:

DB Eddrick Loften, TX (Rivals 4*, Scout 4*, ESPN 3*)

[Buffnik]

Texas A&M picked up #24: DB Tony Hurd, Jr., TX (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 4*). Hurd had previously been committed to Notre Dame.

Texas got #22: WR Darius White, TX (Rivals 4*, Scout 5*, ESPN 5*). White is one of the top 3 WR prospects in the country.

[Duff Man]

White gives the Horns an embarrassment of riches at WR in this class. Hard as it is to believe, Mack Brown may be putting together his best class ever. They have a good shot at two more 5* prospects to close out this class.

[Buffnik]

Colorado secured its 13th commitment today:

OT Kaiwi Crabb, HI (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

:cool:

[Buffnik]

Iowa State picked up its 24th and 25th pledges:

RB Duran Hollis, TX (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)
RB Shontrelle Johnson, FL (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma picked up its 27th pledge:

DT Damon Williams, TX (Rivals 3*, Scout NR, ESPN 2*)

It sounds like he may have been a backup plan to Eric Humphrey and they went with Williams once they knew they wouldn't be landing Humphrey.

[TheEvilBeak]

Pretty sure you can add Kenny Bell to the NU list after today.

[Rugged]

Pretty sure you can add Kenny Bell to the NU list after today.

And Kain Colter

[Buffnik]

I'll get to all the updates after I get home from the basketball game tonight. And if some Nubber news percolated for a day or two before I got to it... let's just say it won't cost me any sleep. :wink2:

[Buffnik]

Nebraska picked up its 18th pledge: ATH Kenny Bell, CO (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*)

[buffsyko]

Buffnik, it seems like every year, oklahoma state has 27 or more commits, reminds me of some sec schools. What's the deal?

[Buffnik]

Buffnik, it seems like every year, oklahoma state has 27 or more commits, reminds me of some sec schools. What's the deal?

Remember Dexter Manley, the great Oklahoma State and NFL defensive end? He came out in the press to talk about how he is illiterate and was just passed through school all those years including college. Some of OSU's recruits aren't up to the Dexter Manley standard and don't make it into school. :smile2:

Also, there's probably some attrition so some of their number above 25 is usually JUCOs who sign early and don't count toward that year's number.

[Buffnik]

CU has added its 14th commitment:

RB Tony Jones, NJ (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 2*)

Jones was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in New Jersey for leading Don Bosco Prep to the #1 National Ranking. Jones was a starter for the football power since his freshman year.

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma secured its 28th commit (and 4th DT):

DT Eric Humphrey, TX (Rivals 4*, Scout 3*, ESPN 4*)

Both Humphrey and Torrea Peterson were DT targets of Colorado. Are they really going to sign 4?

[Buffnik]

Colorado has secured 2 new pledges:

LB Evan Harrington (JUCO), MD (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

and

TE Henley Griffon (Rivals NR, Scout NR, ESPN NR)

Colorado now has 16 commitments for the class of 2010.

:dance:

Edit: Previously had CO K Justin Castor as committed to Colorado. Castor is de-committed from Kansas, but is only a CU lean at this point.

[Buffnik]

Texas Tech has had a de-commitent and is down to 24 pledges:

DB Tre'Vante Porter, OK (Rivals 3*, Scout 3*, ESPN 3*) will be playing elsewhere

[ScottyBuff]

Texas Tech has had a de-commitent and is down to 24 pledges:

Says that CU was one of the first to call him when the Leach trouble started, but sadly we aren't on his top 5 or scheduled for a visit.

[Hugegroove]

Any word on how Justin Castor feels about joining the Buffs?

[Buffnik]

Any word on how Justin Castor feels about joining the Buffs?

Visiting this weekend, so I would expect to get some updates Sunday night/ Monday morning timeframe. Who knows, maybe we get an early 2011 verbal from one of the Junior Day guys, too?

[Buffnik]

First off, I've finally gotten the commitment lists up-to-date. I'd fallen behind by a couple weeks.

Also, you may notice some changes:

- No longer tracking total commits from each state (it was a pain in the ass)
- All Colorado commits are now listed and linked as the 1st post in the thread
- Commitments have been divided into "Signees" and "Verbals" (Signees include Late Qualifiers from the 2009 class; Anyone in the Signees category may optionally be counted to the 2009 class)
- Ratings for every prospect on Rivals, Scout and ESPN are no longer being tracked (too much work and I never kept up with it to include updated ratings anyway)
- ESPN is the primary list I'm using since it's the most user-friendly, but their info may not be 100% correct or current

[Buffnik]

Kansas State added another verbal from in-state RB Deveon Dinwiddie. 2* on Rivals, unrated by Scout & ESPN.

[Buffnik]

Good day for the Jayhawks:

Snagged DB Dexter McDonald, MO from Mizzou

&

Added little known DE Keba Agostinho, TX

[Buffnik]

The rich get richer.

Texas landed DE Jackson Jeffcoat, TX, who is considered one of the nation's top 5 prospects this cycle.

Oklahoma stole LB Corey Nelson, TX, from Texas A&M. Nelson was one of their top recruits and had been a verbal commit since July. They may be also be losing DT Jackson Richards, TX, to LSU (visiting this weekend).

Speaking of LSU, they're also hosting Texas Tech's top commit, WR Kadron Boone, FL, this weekend. LSU needs another wideout and don't be surprised if they land Boone.

[Duff Man]

Jeffcoat is a big pickup for the Horns. They are also expected to land 5* LB Jordan Hicks out of Ohio later today as well. Could be Mack Brown's best class ever.

Nelson situation is not over, he is not technically committed to the Sooners right now. Looks good for them though. That would be a huge loss for A&M, they are really lacking in defensive talent.

[Buffnik]

BB,

Good call on Corey Nelson not being committed to the Sooners yet. OUInsider on Rivals and ESPN Rumors both had him as an Oklahoma commit, but...

the Texas A&M ESPN affiliate just reported the following:

Despite reports, four-star outside linebacker Corey Nelson (Dallas/Skyline) is still committed to Texas A&M and has not switched to Oklahoma, ESPN affiliate Web site TexAgs.com reports.

Nelson said via text, "I'm not committed to OU and I will remain an Aggie. It's my future. Report that please. Tell everyone I'm through with recruiting and I will remain at A&M. It's my future."

***********

I'll switch him back to TAMU on the first page (although I still think that it's not a done deal and it could be OU on NSD).

[Duff Man]

Definitely agree that it is not over until signing day. I actually think it will be OU in the end.

Hicks to Texas is official. Great pickup for Texas, they finally have landed an OOS stud late in the process.

[Buffnik]

Added pledge #21 for Texas:

LB Jordan Hicks, OH

Another guy who is in everyone's top 5 or top 10. Texas may have now passed Florida for the nation's top class this year.

[Buffnik]

Kansas landed RB Brandon Bourbon, MO, who de-committed from Stanford.

[Buffnik]

Buffs land pledge #19: ATH Justin "J.T." Torres from La Mirada, CA!
