    National Signing Day - Caste Rankings

    Thanks Jimmy. I added Eric to Army's list and moved them up the board. I am glad you brought up Max Emfinger's website. It is a must read for Caste Football readers because he has a list of mostly white high school stars and many do not have college offers. Check it out at...

    National Signing Day - Caste Rankings

    Unfortunately, there is no absolutely perfect database of all of these kids. I have been using rivals.com which seems to the the most complete database. According to rivals.com, Eric Shaffer scored a SPARQ score of 69.9 at the Baton Rouge camp. Also, he is not listed on Army's commitment list...

    National Signing Day - Caste Rankings

    In reference to my previous post, here are the nation's top 20 SPARQ ratings (measurement of overall athleticism) and the rivals.com ratings. Nine are white, 2 mixed race, 8 black, 1 unknown. Of the twenty, only 7 are highly rated by rivals.com. (Player Name, position, race, SPARQ rating...

    National Signing Day - Caste Rankings

    Your right Don. It reminds me of my playing days when we had an offseason competition for the football players. We had a similar rating system that took our bench press max, squat max, power clean max, vertical jump, 40 time, and standing long jump. The strength coach came up with a formula...

    National Signing Day - Caste Rankings

    Wow, I made it to the home page, thanks Don. There is a rating system called the SPARQ rating. You can read more about it at SPARQ Rating. Each player that goes to a Nike camp gets a SPARQ rating. It takes into account all of the measurables (40 time, vertical jump, bench press, etc.) to...

    National Signing Day - Caste Rankings

    Players listed as signed or committed: Army: 14 players listed, 10 are white Air Force: 15 players listed, 10 are white Navy: 4 players listed, 4 are white I assume that these teams will pick up more recruits as they pick up kids that the other teams don't want.

    National Signing Day - Caste Rankings

    Here's a list of schools that did not sign a single white WR, DB, or RB on National Signing Day. Navy only had three kids total on their list, so I am sure they will sign more down the road. Some of the smaller schools (MAC, Sunbelt, etc) it is hard to tell since alot of the kids aren't...

    National Signing Day - Caste Rankings

    Here are some observations from going through this excercise: 1. A lot of schools that we think of having white talent are getting blacker, ie Iowa, Iowa St., Nebraska, etc. 2. There are a BUNCH of black WRs and DBs that are highly rated by the scouting services, but are relatively slow...

    Houston Astros

    I have been a Bagwell fan for his entire career, but he really does need to retire. He has been hurt off and on for the past two years and his production when he does play doesn't justify $17 million. They could get a lot of good players for that kind of money.

    National Signing Day - Caste Rankings

    I have gone through the signing lists of all Division 1A schools and ranked them by how many white RBs (no FBs), DBs, WRs, and Athletes (can play multiple positions) they recruited. It's a little depressing. Keep in mind I am only looking at the "speed" positions and there are a lot of very...

    Need input regarding rifle purchase

    For home protection, you can't beat a 12 gauge automatic. Hands down, the best weapon in close combat. If your heart is set on a rifle, I would choose the Mini 14. More reliable than the AR15 and you can get it in 7.62x39mm for more knockdown power. Another good choice is the 45 auto pistol...

    CB - Will Thompson

    It looks like Will is going to go to Blinn Junior College and see if he can get some looks from the big Div.1 schools down the road. I hope that he is successful because this is a tough road to Div.1. This kid was royally screwed during the recruiting process and I wish him the best of luck.

    Colorado St Strikes Again!

    CSTV.com is the only recruiting website that has him listed as a CSU commitment. He seems to overlooked by rivals and scout. http://interact.cstv.com/recruiting/searchrecruit.cfm?sport= football&dbyear=05&school_name=csu

    Jared Connaughton

    I am not familiar with him. I assume you meant that he is from the Panhandle of Texas? The fastest white kid I ever saw from that part of Texas was Dallas Cowan from Odessa. He was one of the top 3 sprinters in Texas in the late 1980's. He ran around 10.4 in the 100m in high school. Went on...

    Garrett Mills

    This sucks! It looks like if Garrett wants to play in the NFL, he will have to move to FB. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=maisel _ivan&id=2305115

    Jared Connaughton

    JGNYC brought this kid up in another thread so I created one just for Jared. I have never heard of this kid before, but he won the 100m and 200m in the Canada Summer Games last year. He is definitely someone we need to keep an eye on. Edited by: SteveB

    The Slave Side of Sunday

    Unfortunately, Mr. Prior doesn't understand the real world. Under his definition, everyone who has a job is a "slave" because they have to answer to a boss. Everyone has to be accountable for results if they want to get paid. I am self-employed, yet I still have to answer to my customers if...

    JT Scheuerman

    Thanks for the update Lightning. I have been somewhat following JT, but most of his accomplishments were as a 400m runner. I had no idea he was such a good short sprinter. Good luck to him.

    The real deal

    I agree Don. I view Caste Football as an information source more than debating forum. Although members debate issues, it is from generally the same point of view. The information on this site is found no where else on the internet and is very informative to those who visit the site.

    Fastest White High School Players

    Matt Leemhuis committed to Virginia. He should be a big time safety/corner at 6'2" 192 lbs with that 4.38 speed. Good luck Matt!

    RB/DB - Colin Jones

    Colin is a star RB/DB from Bridgeport TX (near Ft. Worth) who is heading to TCU. He is 6' 190 lbs and has been timed at 4.41 sec in the 40 (although Rivals.com has him listed at 4.65 and scouts.com has him listed at 4.56). He ran for over 1600 yds, 27 TDs as a junior and had an great senior...
