Here are some players to keep an eye on during the evaluation period. Would not be surprised to see some of these guys enter the picture:
QB
Preston Dewey (Austin, TX)-Starting to get interest from several BCS programs and was a standout at the Fort Worth Elite 11 camp. He is also coached by Ty Detmer, a family we have several ties with.
RB
Johnathan Williams (Allen, TX)-He committed to Missouri at their spring game yesterday, but Bieniemy/Kennedy might be able to change his mind. Big back who is probably the #3 back in Texas this year. He had a huge junior season after missing most of his sophomore season due to a broken ankle.
Tim Wright (La Marque, TX)-Very versatile and speedy back that helped lead his team to the 4A state title game last December. La Marque is just east of the Houston metro area.
WR
Deontay Greenberry (Fresno, CA)-Was probably the best offensive player at the 7-on-7 camp in Las Vegas last month and is also an Army All-American. Has four Pac-12 offers right now and I expect that number to increase very soon.
Kenny Lawler (Upland, CA)-He committed very early to ASU when they were the only school to offer, but he has since added other offers and will take visits. He was another standout at the 7-on-7 camp in Las Vegas.
Dontonio Jordan (Corinth, TX)-Pure slot receiver that already has two BCS offers and should be getting more in the coming weeks. Stats suffered a bit last year because of inconsistent QB play.
Dalyn Williams (Corinth, TX)-He had a very good sophomore season at WR before being switched to QB his junior season. He is trying to sell colleges on his future as a QB, but he is more likely to make an impact at WR in college.
TE
Blake Jackson (Scottsdale C.C., AZ)-Has a couple offers already and is getting attention from several schools, including a visit to Arkansas this weekend. He is a December grad that could potentially be here for spring ball and help provide immediate help at TE.
Josh Cook (Santa Ana, CA)-A bit undersized, but still was a standout at the LA Nike Camp. He also plays for a powerhouse program, which means plenty of coaches will stop by to scout him and other prospects.
OL
Ronnie Stanley (Las Vegas, NV)-He has been on our radar for a while but we have yet to offer. Part of a loaded OT class out west this year. He also plays for powerhouse Bishop Gorman.
Cedrick Poutasi (Las Vegas, NV)-Big kid who is starting to get attention from several schools and performed well at the LA Nike Camp. One of the better interior line prospects out west.
DL
Taiwan Johnson (Manvel, TX)-His recruitment has blown up in the last couple months. One of the better all-around defensive ends out there. Manvel is located about 30 miles south of Houston.
Avery Moss (Tempe, AZ)-Athletic player who also plays on the AAU circuit in basketball. Has yet to really focus on football full-time, but he still has three early Pac-12 offers. We (and everyone else) have already offered his teammate Andrus Peat.
Danielle Hunter (Katy, TX)-Another players whose recruitment has blown up in the last couple months. His team was 1-9 last season, so it has taken some time for schools notice him. He could end up at other positions besides DE.
LB
Thomas Brown (Gardena, CA)-He is on our radar already and showed well at the LA Nike Camp. It is the same high school as 2011 signee Woodson Greer.
Reshawn Hooker (Fontana, CA)-Fast LB out of the Inland Empire that is in the process of transferring schools. Had high production as junior with over 100 tackles.
Butch Pauu (Anaheim, CA)-Undersized LB that has done well at camps like the U.S. Army National Combine and the LA Nike Camp (where he was position MVP). Still pretty raw though and he wants to go on a mission (LDS), so that might be part of the reason schools have not jumped in yet.
DB
LaDarrell McNeil (Dallas, TX)-Big hitting safety who is not afraid to throw his body around. Considered by most to be the top safety prospect in Texas this year. He also plays for a school that Bobby Kennedy should know well.
DeVante Harris (Mesquite, TX)-Was a standout at the recent Nike camp in Fort Worth. He has good speed and has the frame to add weight once he gets on campus too.
Asante Gibson (Chula Vista, CA)-Intriguing prospect out of the San Diego area who missed most of his junior year due to a broken ankle, but he was a standout as a sophomore and was productive in the few games he played his junior season before the injury. He is also a smart kid that wants to go the pre-med or engineering route.
Also, keep in mind that the evaluation period can be used to get a jump start on 2013 prospects as well. The coaches will be looking at those players too.
