Class of 2021

[Rocky B]

Austin Bell

• APB
• 5-9
• 186

Offers from Yale, Utah St and others

 

[Rocky B]

Sean Skladany

• RB
• 6-2
• 212

Kid from Washington (state)
Has an offer from Eastern Washington....
Of course the PAC 12 isn’t in a rush.....
They’ll find a real back fro Texas, Florida or California....

 

[Bucky]

Nice to see some new blood mentioned gents!

 

[Rocky B]

Max Moyers
Lewisburg PA

5-10, 185

He ran for more than 2,100 yards and 28 touchdowns as a sophomore.
Quad A school....Watch out for the Bragalone treatment.
Kid could run for 6000 yards during the next two years and Penn St would pass....

 

[Shadowlight]

Not only will Penn State pass on Moyers (Zane Dudek who?) they will piss on his head to boot as long as Franklin is the head coach.

Might as well keep the ball going in what is shaping out to be a great class for wide receivers.

John Paul Richardson like Drew Donley is the son of an NFL player, QB Bucky. At 6'0" 180 pounds he runs track too and you can see his giddy up extra gear on tape. Happily my guess is he lands on a Power 5 school. Teams like TCU and Oklahoma State have offered.

 

[Bucky]

Nice to see another crop of young WRs emerging.

Syracuse just landed a commitment from a Wisconsin DE in Hayden Nelson . 6'4 250

Just shot out some tweets for Max Moyers and Sean Skladany. For Moyers I sent out a tweet to the head football coaches of PSU, Pitt and Temple. For Skladany I sent out a tweet to all the PAC 12 north head coaches.

Awesome. We need to get to the boosters somehow, also.....Let them get in the faces of the coaches and administration why they’re passing up on a ton of local kids that are talented.

 

[Red Raider]

Will Shipley is announcing his commitment tomorrow afternoon! This is very important to us as he might be the mostly highly regarded white RB prospect ever. What do you guys predict? I say Notre Dame!

They had McDaniel a few years back and sort of screwed him. Its a very high visibility school, so if they play him it might be best. I wish he would go to Wisconsin however, its a RB’s dream there.

 

[white lightning]

I vote Stanford or Notre Dame. Stanford is the number 1 choice as they are one of only a handful off colleges to be fair over the decades to white running backs. Shipley also is a friend of CMac and they have talked
about his time spent there. My second choice for him would be Notre Dame. He would be known by everyone due to their history of greatness along with the tv endorsements that Notre Dame enjoy.

If he is smart he won't pick Clemson. They are far too deep on the depth chart with so many good running backs already. The same could be said for Ohio State and I just think he will get burried at either of these schools. They
also could move him to a slot receiver which would be a crime. Shipley needs to stay at running back and only go to where they promise to keep him there and play the kid as a starter.

His other possibility is NC St where both of his parents went. Too small a school. He needs to go somewhere to help him get to the NFL someday.

 

[Leonardfan]

I'd like to see Shipley end up at Notre Dame. He will get a lot more national exposure and down the road it could help in any potential Heisman candidacy as their is a west coast bias (which is part of the reason Gerhart and McCaffrey did not win...the other part you guys can all figure out).

 

[Rocky B]

Stanford just signed Filkins, (who will be competing against Emmit Smith’s kid...
Notre Dame would be cool, as long as he doesn’t get forced into playing slot...
I’ve read Clemson is high on the list, Wisconsin would be perfect......

 

[Bucky]

I think he goes with Clemson. I'd like to see him go to whoever has the thinnest RB depth chart!

Of course love to see him at Wisconsin and they offered but don't think there's much interest on his part. Plus they've already offered 2mediocre in-state mixed backs and an Afflete from TN..

 

[dolphins15]

I would love to see him go to Clemson if it worked out. Because he would be at one of the premier programs in the country right now. I am little concerned about their depth chart though. They signed a 5 star recruit from Florida last season and currently have a 4 star commit from Georgia in this class. If he does go to Clemson, which is where they have him projected, I hope Dabo gives him a real chance. If history tells us anything he has given receivers chances and defensive players lately. Shipley is a special talent with blazing speed.

 

[Red Raider]

And he picked Clemson!

 

[DWF Upside]

This will be good if he gets to play and play at RB.

 

[Bucky]

Good choice!

[northwinds]

So excited about this Will Shipley kid! Wish he would have picked ND or Stanford, but Dabo has proven to play White kids at skill positions and defense. It’s a shame Trevor Lawrence will be gone when he gets there........seeing them in the same backfield would have been pretty special.

WR Branden Alvarez to San Jose State

https://247sports.com/player/branden-alvarez-46076656/

Bucky has always had game. But since that friendly neighborhood virus hit town he has upped it a notch. He has been on top of many things of late. In fact I nominate him to replace Gutenkunt for the Packers GM. After Gutenkunt's first round "up your ass Aaron Rodgers" stunt this past draft the Pack will be shopping for a new GM in no time. I will have to investigate but I think the head coach was not on board with the Jordan Love pick.

WR Manjack who was cited earlier here is a nice pick up for SMU. Still waiting for several other stud white WR commitments.

And rangy DE/TE Derek McDonald, who almost went to Harvard, is a nice pick up for normally caste Syracuse.

But speaking of a normally caste team Oklahoma raises some eyebrows. Not so much for their 2020 class which is business as usual despite bringing in a dual threat QB Chandler Jones and a transfer red shirt sophomore WR Cason Grant. Both of these players are long shots to become pivotal Sooners down the road.

But two commits for 2021 shows a spark of life and perhaps they are finally showing recognition that the Sooners defense needs to improve. LB Danny Stutsman is a rangy athletic linebacker. And they had already secured another athletic and rangy DE in homegrown stud 6'4" 235 pounds Ethan Downs. Downs played TE in high school too. But as a defensive hound I generally prefer white players becoming defensive edge players rather than tight end.

While Oklahoma won't be anyone's idea of a an anti caste team these two upside defenders give some hope that they are moving in the right direction. It is about time with this team.

I agree with the positive Will Shipley to Clemson comments above.

 

[Red Raider]

If Clemson also lands Troy Stellato I would be ecstatic. I believe we have a guy ranked in the top 15 at all the caste positions for 2020. Will Shipley at RB, Troy Stellato at WR, Jack Sawyer at DE, and Hunter Wohler at safety. Obviously corner is excluded because that’ll likely never happen again.

 

[Leonardfan]

Are these all early commitments for 2021 or late commits? Are the big, hyped up ridiculous signing days that occur in for the current year ?

 

[Red Raider]

I think it’s slightly early but that is becoming the new normal now because these kids are starting to get recruited as freshmen so they kind of get tired of the process and try to get it shut down earlier. I know back when I was in high school most of them didn’t start getting attention until the end of their junior year so the commitments were happening much later.

 

[Bucky]

Ha! Appreciate the kind words @Shadowlight. I'm just the middle man though. Though I do agree our fleet of posters could handle a front office easily, compared to Gutenkunt and these other caste slimeballs.

Stellato to Clemson would be doubly sweet! Really hope that happens now.

I guess it's positive OU is recruiting stud White Defenders. Gotta figure at sometime they break through to start.

Syracuse landing Nelson and McDonald in back to back days is a nice surprise. Could be quite the duo at DE down the line.

 

[Shadowlight]

Yes the recruiting calendar is more of a mirage now with so called signing days seemingly becoming less and less important. I can't make heads or tails out of things anymore as far as timing. More of a hodgepodge now as names drip out throughout a year.

Just want to do a quick recap of seven important wide receivers who have not committed yet including a couple of prospects not on the Power 5 grid that member Dolphin posted about earlier.

Troy Stellato (6'1" 175) the highly ranked Italian speedster out of Ohio looks to be a Clemson ( see above) cinch but Ohio State is still in the mix. I think he is waiting until summer to announce. The longer they wait the chances of changing minds increase.

Brandon Schabert (6'2" 198) probably has the most upside out of any white receiver in this class which is saying something. He recently ran a 4.40 flat in the 40 in thick grass no less. Out of Florida I was surprised none of the Power 5 teams were jumping in but that has changed. He just got an offer from Kentucky. I anticipate more SEC teams getting involved. Moves like a fast freight train when running. The next Jordy?

John Paul Richardson is 5'11" 170 pounds but has a solid track background with speed. It looks at the moment he will land on a Big 12 team. His father Bucky Richardson was a star QB at Texas A&M which is now in the SEC of course but was a long time member of the old Southwest Conference.

Theo Gabrill like Schabert has impressive size at 6'3" 200 pounds and athleticism but I have no idea where he will land? Yale is in the picture but so are a bunch of other teams. Power 5 teams are not out of the question.

Cole Kirkpatrick (6'0" 180) is in the same boat. Hard to tell where he will land but I doubt a Power 5 team.

Jace Klucewich (5'11 170) out of Montana also has little chance of landing on a Power 5 team and might even miss out on any FBS team despite his impressive speed. I figure he lands on a Dakota team or Montana. If not those an Ivy league team.

Drew Donley is slight at 6'2" 170 pounds and I think that is why the big schools are staying away despite his big speed. If he was black Power 5 schools would be in play you can take that to the bank. This is one area where the rubber meets the road. Slight black wide receiver speedsters often land on Power 5 teams. White players that fit that description have to scrounge around on lower level teams. Drew may not have a mother because he looks like a clone of his father. Ha. Who is interested in Drew who has a huge upside as he gets a little stronger? Well the usual suspects like the military academies and Ivy league schools.
