Re: '10 TX LB Anthony Beard

Sounds like ESPN doesn't have a clue because they don't even has us listed under the schools he's considering. :confused:

That's typical. ESPN doesn't really have a clue about recruiting outside of looking at everyone else's top ten lists.
 
Re: '10 TX LB Anthony Beard

I can be way off on this, but I think ESPN Scout Inc. seems to be seriously underfunded. I think there are about a handful of guys trying to sift through thousands of kids.

Who is Scouts, Inc.?
ESPN.com

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Scouts Inc. Recruiting Personnel[/FONT]

Tom Luginbill has been working for Scouts Inc. for the last three years as a pro personnel evaluator for the NFL, NFL Europe, the Canadian Football League and the Arena Football League. Now as national director of recruiting, he will provide in-depth recruiting analysis for the top collegiate football prospects.


Luginbill coached in NFL Europe, the XFL and the AFL. He served as a head coach twice, with the Tennessee Valley Vipers of arenafootball2 (2000) and the Detroit Fury (2004). Luginbill's teams appeared in two championship games and won one (Los Angeles Xtreme of the XFL). Luginbill also has been directly responsible or involved in player personnel for the last seven years.


He gained extensive experience in scouting and player personnel while coaching, and he helped build three expansion football franchises from the ground up.


Prior to joining the professional coaching ranks, Luginbill was a four-year starter at quarterback for three college programs: Palomar College (1992-93), Georgia Tech (1994) and Eastern Kentucky (1995).
Luginbill will oversee a recruiting evaluation team with more than 122 combined years of coaching experience. The team boasts former successful head coaches at the professional and collegiate level and the experience of former professional directors of player personnel.


Also on the team is recruiting coordinator Craig Haubert, who has more than a decade of coaching experience. Haubert was an assistant at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and also served as the FB/LB coach and director of football operations for the Detroit Fury of the Arena Football League.



Billy Tucker is a recruiting coordinator for Scouts Inc. and has close to a decade of coaching experience at the college and high school level. Tucker has served as a recruiting coordinator for two nationally ranked Division II colleges. Most recently, he was the associate head coach and defensive coordinator for Merrimack College, which advanced to the Sweet 16 in the 2006 NCAA Division II playoffs.



Bill Conley is a recruiting coordinator for Scouts Inc. who worked at Ohio State for 17 years as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. Since retiring from Ohio State in 2004, Conley has worked as a contributor and analyst for Columbus-area print and broadcast media and as a professional speaker. He also published a book recounting his years as Buckeye recruiting coordinator, "Buckeye Bumper Crops."


Paul Pawlak is a recruiting coordinator for Scouts Inc., who spent eight years as a personnel scout with the New England Patriots, including winning a Super Bowl ring for the 2001 season. He's been a college head coach -- 10 years at Northeastern University and four years at Tufts University. He also has 14 years experience as a college assistant coach.

Rivals Update

Anthony Beard says he will take an official to Colorado this weekend, or if Colorado doesn't come through with details and a final plan, he might visit CSU instead. His HS team has a bye weekend and he wants to take an official ... somewhere.

Colorado is supposed to "let him know" if this is a good weekend for him to visit. I hope so!

Re: '10 TX MLB Anthony Beard

Visited Baylor. Has a new top 5 of Arizona, Arkansas, Baylor, Colorado & Texas Tech. Among those, the only schools that have offered are Zona and CU. Still wants to set up a visit to CU.

On the academic side, he wants to major in Wildlife Biology. I don't think we have that at CU, but I did find something in the Biology Department called and EBIO (Ecology & Evolutionary Biology) that seems to prepare you for the same career options and then some versus a BA in Wildlife Biology.
 
Re: '10 TX MLB Anthony Beard

:lol: I was actually going to major in wildlife bio and CSU is a good school for it as is Wyoming. I think Arizona was up there on the lists I was looking at, so that may be bad news. I'm not sure of the difference between EEB and Wildlife, but I assume it would suffice as undergrad work, as would any generic Biology degree.
 
Re: '10 TX MLB Anthony Beard

Good news!

AZ is reporting on Buffscoop that Beard is among the 3 visitors this weekend (Ringo had said there were 3 but only reported Whiteside).

Beard's still one of the guys I really want in this class. Hopefully we can lock him down this weekend. :thumbsup:
 
Re: '10 TX MLB Anthony Beard

him and cecil would be nice

Yep. We've already got the commit from Lowell Williams and it looks like we're in the lead for Evan Palelei too. Then there's 4* JUCO Derek Earls that we're right there on. This has a chance of being a very special linebacker class.

And I think it needs to be since we're graduating Burton, Mohler, Stengel & Smart, we lost Katoa, it's too early to tell on Webb & Nobriga from the '09 class, and at this point it doesn't look like we're getting much from the '07 Ahles/Hartigan class.

I think we need to sign at least four LBs in this class with everything you mention.
 
Re: '10 TX MLB Anthony Beard

Just read a post by Adam over at Rivals. Premium article coming up soon, but the gist of it is that Beard fell in love with CU, we're his strong #1, he was tempted... but he's probably going to wait to commit.
