Looks like Illinois' two White recruits are seeing the writing on the wall as 3-Star DL Ryan O'Malley formally decommits from "Hatie (the White man)" Smith's team and RB Mike Epstein starts to look elsewhere. From the looks of Illinois' Rivals page, "Hatie (the White man)" Smith is trying build his dark chocolate "dream team" from almost all of the offers I see on the page, save a TE and OL (of course) whom I hope have others options than to play for this White-man-hating-coach.

Some notable commits this past week:

Iowa with DE:
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/10508

Iowa State with OLB:
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/maple/187572

Northwestern with OLB:
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/46064


BYU with TE:
He dominated as a DE in high school and only played a blocking TE in high school. Virginia wanted him as either a DE or OLB, but BYU wants him as a TE, which fits their (and many other teams) new Caste model of no longer recruiting White players on defense and only OL, TE, and QB on Offense.

Below is an article of a recent visit he had to Virginia entitled "UVa hosting explosive edge rusher". Too bad he didn't go with them. Looking at the 2016 and current 2017 recruiting classes, Virginia is trending lighter, and not only at Caste positions. More and more it's looking like Mendenhall left BYU because BYU wanted to go Caste, probably to please their Disney/BSPN masters for television rights.

Shockingly, in the past week Colorado State has signed two "crackas" on defense, both LB; their only two signings of 2017 right now.

Current CSU head coach Mike Bobo (previously the OC for Georgia) was used to practicing against coal-black defenses down there, so this must be quite an adjustment for him to actually extend offers to White players on that side of the ball. I hope he continues to make progress in breaking away from the mental conditioning that he experienced down there and transition to the thinking that White players can make great players on defense as well.

Arguably Class of 17's Best Athlete in the entire U.S...Nate McBride 6'-2" 228 (10.63 100 meters/Bench Press 405lbs) from Georgia...plays RB & Returns Kicks...projects as the FASTEST LINE-BACKER in College...his soph. highlight reel is light's out/ended up #10th Prospect(#1 in GA) in U.S....BUT....unable to play Jr. season due to broken wrist in car wreck..so he dropped to #25th... Georgia, Alabama (Nick Saban called him during NFL Draft), Auburn & Oregon....Stanford & Notre Dame could also get visits

Scroll to bottom for Sophomore Highlight Video

It's eye opening to see what a southern school like Clemson has done on the recruiting trail w the past few Classes on the defensive side of the ball....

Michigan State lands 3-star DE today

Of course, no news of it by Rivals. The other 3-star DE that committed to MSU earlier this year is now listed as a TE by both Rivals and 247Sports, even though he never played TE in high school and looks dominant playing DE. I guess a team can't have two White DE playing at the same time now.

Missouri lands 3-star TE today

I really wish he had picked one of the other teams that offered him; or just waited a few more months to see if any bigger schools offered him. There wasn't any rush. Now he'll have to serve a 4-5 year term at a BLM-inspired institution. It doesn't sound like very much fun to me.

Well, Heretic was right. It appears Brett Kittrell and Jack Begley won't be receiving offers, because Nebraska is in on "better athletes." However, they didn't have a problem with offering an in-state black DT for 2018 already. I'm through with reading Nebraska message boards. I'm absolutely sick of them demeaning and tossing aside Nebraska kids as not being "good enough" to play for the Huskers, despite the huge numbers of Nebraska kids starring for other schools, like Iowa, Stanford, and North Dakota State. However, they're shoe-ins for offers if they have the right pigmentation.

Here's how one Nebraska Sportscuckster described the 2018 DL prospect who accepted 30 seconds after being offered a scholarship by the Nebraska head and DL coach:
From my perspective, Mapieu landed his offer based off of how he projects. He performed well tonight, but I wouldn’t say that he was flat out dominant. He is still a very raw player in pretty much every aspect. However, you see glimpses of what he can become in the way that he moves in his massive frame that is still maturing and it just doesn’t make sense to drag your feet on offering.

He is of Sudanese descent, born in Egypt, and just one of the tens of thousands deliberately placed into mostly White states and areas all across the country, every year.

Here's just how "raw" he was against another White OL prospect (who wasn't offered by Nebraska), as described by another writer:
The other is Des Moines (Iowa) Dowling Catholic's Zach Ross (6-2 1/2, 286) who was fierce against Mapieu, twisting him around and tossing him to the ground in a one-on-one situation.

So, Mapieu, the guy who is "raw...in...every respect" and not "flat out dominant" is offered and accepts a scholarship, but OL Zach Ross, who impressed, was not. Obviously, just another example of "White Privilege".

There were a bunch other White players besides Kitrell and Begley that had great camps, but none were offered, including a WR and RB, both of whom ran back-to-back 4.4/40's.

Kitrell measured in at 6'4 271 lbs and, with the exception of being stood still on just one rush by another high quality OL prospect, he won his battles, showing very good quickness and power. Is Nebraska saying that they couldn't develop him into an even better player after a year or two in the weight room, a couple of years of reps under the supervision of the DL coach and complete knowledge of the defensive playbook? The article then mentions 2-3 other DL with the requisite skin pigmentation (black) from Texas and another couple of ones with the same pigmentation from other Nebraska high schools that have either been offered or are on the radar.

Here's what another Nebraska Sportscuckster says about another White 2017 DE prospect from Ohio who has 15 offers from other schools, including Connecticut:
Dan Sichterman -- was among a strong group of offensive and defensive linemen at the camp. Sichterman has offers from Connecticut and Youngstown State, among others; he was better than most of the tackles, zipping or ripping by most of them. He'd be a grayshirt/walk-on type for NU, most likely.

If he were black, a scholarship would already be a foregone conclusion.

At this point, if I was a White football player at the high school level in Nebraska, I wouldn't even bother going to one of their camps unless I was QB, OL, or TE.

Some commits over the past couple/few days:
LB commits to Colorado
TE commits to Minnesota
DE commits to Michigan State
LB commits to Virginia

There also seems to be a trend now from the major recruiting services where White defensive players aren't even being ranked, like the bottom two in the above list, or are being ranked very late in the recruiting process.

Also, hopefully they won't move the DE MSU recruit to TE like they did to the other MSU DE recruit a couple of months ago, even though he never played a down at that position.

Some other commits over the past couple of days:
4-Star LB commits to A&M
3-Star DE commits to Pittsburgh
3-Star DE commits to Kansas State
DT commits to Oregon State
WR Blake Proehl commits to East Carolina

I don't understand the LB commit to A&M. He had his pick of the litter.
Only 3 out of 14 of Sumlin's current recruits are "crackas", including this LB, the QB, and one OL (out of four OL). Should be a wonderful locker room experience.

True to form, "Hatie" Smith at Illinois is going full-speed down the dark-chocolate hershey highway with his recruits, including the QB. I'm glad the White OL and DL recruits under the previous coach were able to escape in time. I feel bad for the White RB that still remains. He may make a good WSTD under "Hatie" in a few years, though...

Nice work Heretic! Really appreciate the updates.

Illinois will be a team to despise under the Hatie regime. They were turning a corner under the Beckman/Cubit regime - Beckman was fired right before the 2015 season started and Cubit did a pretty decent job as a 1st year coach given the situation. The new AD comes in and fires Cubit for Hatie. Illinois will continue to be a doormat in the big ten. I also find it interesting that Butch Jones still has his job in the SEC while Briles was canned at Baylor - Big 12 (Beckman- big 10 who was fired last year for less serious allegations than either). I suppose that question is more appropriate for another thread.

There is a corner out of Bishop Kenny high school in Jacksonville getting a lot of attention named Kurtis Gavin. He is a little tight but looks pretty good. He had a teammate who is now playing corner for Tulane as a red shirt freshman in John Helow. I hope something pans out for both these guys.

I am not sure if he has been mentioned here whether in this forum or high school track but California junior rb/speedster , Cole Dubot has an offer from Oregon State. This kid can accelerate. He has run a wind legal 10.53 100 meters. He has no other schools listed so I assume he will wind up at Oregon S. Kade Remsberg out of Kansas has a Kansas U. offer and some other rb has committed to Eastern Michigan. I will have to look him up again and post it.
