Well, Frost signed some mulatto QB from California. He's highly rated, so there's a 95% chance he'll start next year because he's Frost's "guy." Given how other QB battles around the country shake out, I'll be shocked if the "upside" QB isn't a starter next year. Guess I was wrong about him, since 95% of his other offers out at this point are to those players with more melanin. There's 3 whites he's offered for 2018 that I'm aware of.

This recruit slipped my radar, and, apparently, almost all major program's radar as well, including Ohio State (the state he's from).

I mean, who in their right mind would want a 6'5", 200lb, 4.48/40 WR? Aren't these programs always talking about wanting size and speed at the WR position?

3-Star WR commits to Purdue

He's the wrong color...Ohio State no longer recruits white WR's....+ he gets a 1 Star penalty for being melanin deficient

Some nice finds y'all! Calvert & Peterson should make an early impact! That's some impressive film on LB Honas....a Punisher & Finisher w some serious wheels! Just what the Cornhuskers need to fix putrid defense!

Looking at the Strong side Defensive End prospects had me curious...Checking the Top 40
#7 Max Wright (Katy TX) 6'-4" 270 to Texas A&M...(been on recruiting radar since Soph.)
#8 Aiden Hutchinson (MI) 6'-6" 260 to Michigan ...(was his Dad Steve who played in the NFL many years?)
#9 Devin O'Rourke (IL) .....Northwestern
#16 Draco Bynum (OR) ......Washington
#20 Judge Culpepper (from FL) 6'-5" 256.....to Penn State (Dad Brad played 9 seasons in NFL)
#23 Boyd Dietzen (WI) ....Wisconsin
#25 Jules Welschof *Germany* 6'-6" 248 to Michigan

Illinois' entire 2018 is affletic, even the OC. "Hatie" really living up to his nickname here.

Like to say im surprised by that but im not. Hopefully this Illinois team is again a bottom dweller in 18 and Hatie Smiff gets axed.

Coleton Beck ran 10.59 at the Virginia State Championship his freshman year although looks like there was some wind. He ran a 6.36 55M this year which is one of the fastest in the country.

Five more to watch.

Jake Chisholm- Plays RB for Ryle High School in Kentucky. He rushed for 1,682 yards and 22TDS. He also had 606 yards receiving and 4TDS. Very talented player. He currently has no offers. http://www.hudl.com/profile/5522019/jake-Chisholm

Tucker Pawley- Plays RB for Bixby High School in Oklahoma. He rushed for 2,096 yards and 30TDS. Adding 31 receptions for 394 yards and 6TDS. Damn good football player. He currently has no offers. http://www.hudl.com/profile/4009397/tucker-pawley

Elijah Kothe- Plays WR for Faith Lutheran High School in Nevada. He caught 55 balls for 1,053 yards and 10TDS. A bigger receiver with speed. He currently has offers from UNLV, San Diego State, Cornell and Princeton. https://www.hudl.com/profile/2023177/elijah-kothe

Dakota Larson- Plays WR for Spring Creek High School in Nevada. He caught 86 balls for 1,736 yards and 22TDS. He is a taller receiver with good burst. He currently has no offers.http://www.hudl.com/profile/4274107/dakota-larson

Braxton Ashcraft- Plays WR for Robinson High School in Texas. He caught 104 balls for 2,090 yards and 37TDS. Big receiver that put up crazy stats. Also a tremendous baseball player as he is committed to Baylor for baseball. But has the ability to play to D1 football if given the opportunity. http://www.hudl.com/profile/4502155/braxton-ashcraft


Update on Jake Chisholm. Finished his senior season with 2300 yards and 33TDs and 1st team KY All State. Still not good enough for an offer! His 247 recruiting page has him at 167lbs whereas Courier Journal has him at 5'9 185. Pretty big difference in weight! Supposedly EKU, Cincy, Wofford, and Navy showing interest. Perfect example of a talented skill position player getting screwed by the Caste System and will most likely be a walk on if he chooses to pursue football at next level.

I’m making an updated list on the running backs for 2018 and saw that Jake signed with Dayton.......Not a bad place at all, but would’ve been nice to see a little more high profile of a school with his credentials.....

Thanks for the update, Dayton not a bad place to end up as a white athlete. Had a buddy a few years back that played CB for The Flyers. But yes with his credentials it would have been nice to see him at FBS level. At least He'll continue to play on the gridiron.

Badgers land Athlete John Torchio from California. Unfortunately he’s a walk on. He turned down scholarship offers from Cal,SaN Diego St, and San Jose St amongst others. Would have personally liked to have seen him sign with Cal.

Badgers already pretty deep at Safety and signed 2 afflete safeties (one named Rachad Wildgoose Jr, judging by his name he’s borderline retarded or at least his single mom is)as well for 18 class.
