Bunte has been playing inside for Santa Margarita because of teammates Max Tuerk and Riley Sorenson, but is likely to move outside to tackle for his senior year and in college. We have been in contact since September.

I forgot to post this (Alferd Jasper sent me the link): http://ocvarsity.freedomblogging.com/2012/01/23/football-recruiting-santa-margarita-junior-lands-pac-12-offer/252022/

Bunte received a CU offer back in January at the time we offered teammate Dane Crane.

I have no idea how any high school defense dealt with Santa Margarita's OL last season. Max Tuerk (signed with USC), Dane Crane, Erik Bunte and Riley Sorenson (another top 2013 prospect). No wonder they won a CIF championship last year.

WOuld be a huge school to make inroads with.

Can we just sign as many of their OL-men as possible? These kids maul. I don't know what's in the water down there in the OC; but, these kids are big and physical straight out of HS.

Bruin.

What the crap! Remaining patient... For now...

[Duff Man]

Eh... not that broken up about this one. Honestly surprised he is rated a 4* by so many sites.

[Jaximus]

I hear ya. I want 2 elite players at least on the OL. My patience isn't as short as David Ubben's neck, but I view this as the biggest need by far.
