I've been lurking here a long time and totally believe there is a caste system entrenched in sports to a degree. I found Nestor on 247 recruiting last week. Its been a long time since a recruiting service has had a white corner in its top 100 let alone any at all. I believe BYU recruited a very fast corner for this year though he is listed as an athlete and I don't believe mentioned here but Ball State gave a scholarship to a white corner as well for 2022. Its weird how Ball State has 3 of their top tailbacks on scholarship as their white as speedy Will Jones has stayed on for a sixth year and will most likely back up sophomore Carson Steele. Sorry meandering hear.
What was killing me last week after seeing Nestor interested in Iowa with Riley Moss back and super athlete, Cooper Dejean in the 2 deep Iowa has more white corners then some entire conferences in Division 1. Scary. I bring this up as I can't post the article but it states that though Nestor excels at corner Iowa only wants him as a safety. No specified reason though. Maybe Iowa is loaded at corner. Don't know. If anyone could fill in on this that would be great though DeJean was recruited as a safety as well and now is transitioning to corner.

Welcome to the site......Keep posting and sharing your insights....I’ve always been an underdog guy and noticing years ago the lack of white running backs drew me here.
As the years have gone by, all skill positions and nearly all defensive players have been set aside, downplayed and have gotten the hand in the face.....horse$hit....

QB Christoper Vizzina set to make a decision tomorrow - Looks like it's Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Auburn, Ohio St, Clemson and UGA.

Clemson it is!

not the worst decision. It’s not ideal to have a logjam at QB but if Klubnik doesn’t workout vizzina certainly projects as a promising qb.

I was never a Swinney fan and that is well documented here but over the past few years he has proven to be White friendly. Same goes for Venables the now head coach at Oklahoma.

Clemson or Notre Dame were probably the best 2 of the 6 choices. Dabo has proven to be a fair coach and OU with Venables should be fun to watch in future. Can't recall ever saying that.

Also agreed on having a logjam at QB. But with how players transfer these days. Klubnik or Vizzina will be out and on to somewhere else soon enough.

Thanks for the head's up booth!

A few weeks back on the Nations Top TE prospects Mac Markway (St.Louis, MO) 6'-4" 250 committed to LSU; ...looks college ready physicallyalready; even though he didn't play his Junior season; new coach Brian Kelly did an excellent job producing a Tight End pipeline @ Notre Dame . He should fit in well with stud WR's stud Jack Bech & speedy Landon Ibieta.

Tight End has been one very positive position over the years..2023 continues the trend
24 7 Sports Ranks 10 of the Top 15 TE's

Pearce Spurlin (FL) to GEORGIA
Luke Hasz (OK) to ARKANSAS
Walker Lyons (CA) ....Undecided ...
Ty Lockwood (TN) to OHIO STATE
Mac Markway (MO) to LSU
Cooper Flanagan (CA) to NOTRE DAME
Brett Norfleet (MO) to MISSOURI
Andrew Rappleyea (MA) to PENN STATE
Lawson Luckie (GA) to GEORGIA
Jackson Bowers (AZ) ...undecided

Rivals.com list
William Randle (LA) ...undecided at #13 ...but completely omitted from 24 7...the HS go-to Tight End from 5 star QB Arch Manning

Wisconsin was after him as well. Good decision for Kohl though.

Good decision for Kohl, Iowa is not a great place to be a QB so I think he made the right choice.

University of Washington offers 6'3" 185lbs dual-threat QB Lincoln Kienholz from South Dakota. He has led his h.s. team to two straight state championships.

Some talented QBs in Louisville area. Just not affletic enough for Cardinals to offer. Looking forward to how Sivori ends up at Citadel.


I wrote about Male HS QB Nic Schutte a few months ago. Talented Dual threat in his own right, going to play baseball at WKU.

Kienholz is a new name! Big time Pac12 offer for South Dakota kid!

Isaac Dixon Kentuckys player of the year commits to the Wildcats. He is 5'11"195 lbs and runs a 4.47 forty. Please read some of the DWFs comments. Unbelievable.

Kentucky DWFs are pretty bad.. State is 90 percent White, but they love their Affletes. I think it's their SEC bias. Gotta fit in with rest of League. 5'11 195 and sub 4.5 speed. DWFs immediately want to slot him in as a Fullback or WSTD. Caste System in a nutshell.
