I'm guessing no more than than 3 of our guys made the Rivals top 80-90-100 whatever WR list. All the company prostitutes working for that "recruiting" site are liars with an agenda. They also have no heart for underdog stories if they happen to be white and like to shatter their dreams based on their skin colour.

Well, that's either lousy or great timing.
After giving up a few weeks ago, my previous post made me take another look. His school's website finally put up player photos.
My take: He's whiter than Greg Salas. So I guess that's good enough. Everyone should look at his highlight vid.

He looks pretty white to me. Of course he could be 1/4 black and the recruiters and whiterivals may have found out about it. In this case it makes him black for our purposes b/c he is benefiting in the recruiting process from the caste system and positive stereotyping.

My general rule is if a player is 1/4 black (like Nick Goings or Ian Johnson?) or dark Polynesian I DON'T consider them white (unless it is only 1/8). However, if a player is 3/4 white and 1/4 of some other minority I consider them white for our purposes. I also cheer for players of other races that don't benefit from the caste system. What say you on my opine Riddlewire?

TJR,

Bump for update, found a white southern wide receiver, Charlie Hegedus with an offer from Toledo and Air Force.

mattharper · May 15, 2011

Wow. This Jordan Westerkamp reminds me of the next coming of Todd Kinchen. The kids already got a 40 vertical as a Junior and he looks to have high 4.4 speed. He is dynamite after the catch as well. Also Taylor Lagace signed with SMU apparently as a safety.

mattharper · May 15, 2011

I just wanted to add another wr in Trevor Cain. This kid is from Potosi, Missouri.The same high school that produced speedy Kansas rb Brandon Bourbon. On a second note I found Cain while discovering Bourbon has a younger brother named Matt who started as a Freshman last year at Rb. This Matt Bourbon might be really good in 3 years. Back to Cain. This kid is 6'3" and ran a 4.48 forty. He also averaged 30 yards a catch on 28 passes and 11 touchdowns. That is friggin incredible. Either this kid is unreal or the corners in Missouri suck. One to look out for. I think he flies under the radar and Kansas snatches him up.

mattharper · May 15, 2011

Also I think Cain was mentioned above. Sorry. Yet one I found is Daniel Braverman out of Florida. He has offers from Nebraska, OK. St., and South Florida. He scorred 4 tds on kickoff returns last year which is very rare on any level.

referendum · May 15, 2011

Thanks mattharper for info on Braverman. Added him to list. Also, Erich Schneider going to Duke, but I did see him mentioned as a tight end in some sources, wide receiver in others.

referendum · May 24, 2011

Bump for update, Dylan Collie will be leaving my neck of the woods and heading for BYU next year.

mattharper · May 26, 2011

Fudge Van Hooser is the brother of Tulane wr wilson Van Hooser. He has committed to Tulane for the class of 2012. He has run an electronic 4.37 40 yard dash has a fantastic 4.1 shuttle time which is impressive when he is 6'3' and 190 lbs. Is it me or are there more and more of our guys running 4.4 and 4.3 forties? I hope this kid turns it on like Wesley Leftwich is going to do at Missouri this year.

mattharper · May 26, 2011

Peyton Williams is a 6'1" wr out of Carrol in South Lake Texas. He runs a legitimate 4.42 forty and has offers from Pittsburgh and Memphis among others. South Lake seems to mass produce white wide receivers as they had Clint Renfro at TCU ( though hes vanished ) McKay Jacobson at BYU and soon to be star in Blake Cantu at Oregon State. If Im not mistaken 4.3 forty defensive back at Wyoming as a juco transfer Luke Anderson is from there as well.

mattharper · May 26, 2011

Jake Vento out of Farmington Hills, Michigan is a 5'11" wr with 4.4 speed. He catches the deep ball well and goes over the middle but what he looks best at is accelerating around defenders after the catch. I would hope either central , western or eastern Michigan offers him down the road. He was 1st team all state as a junior.

referendum · May 26, 2011

Bump for update. Matt, thanks for info on Peyton Williams. Also, is Van Hooser a QB or WR? On rivals he's listed as a dual threat QB, on scout as a WR.

mattharper · May 26, 2011

Hes going to Tulane as a receiver. I didint see P. Williams on the list. Sorry.

referendum · May 26, 2011

Thats great about Van Hooser, I'll add him to the list. What I'm doing is adding to it every time I hear about a player, so I just added Williams and now for Van Hooser. For Williams the rivals site didn't have a photo so I would have never guessed that he's white. Kind of a reverse version of the black Florida linebacker Bostic who I thought was white because he had a slavic sounding last name.

Looking forward to seeing some of these guys in the future, nice job of scouring the recruiting sites to find these token white players! And yes I think it is true, there are a lot of white receivers who can run in the4.4 range lately! So now they have the hands, route running ability, intelligence and the athleticism to play the position. Haven't seen any of our receivers lately who legitimately remind of Ricky Proehl. We have some speed out there, and there's so much of it that colleges are being forced to recognize it.

mattharper · May 27, 2011

Billy Reed a 6'1" wr with 4.44 speed out of Lockport , Illinois has been offered by Notre Dame and Northwestern.

referendum · Jun 3, 2011

Bump for update, Sean Miller with an offer, though to Air Force, and Max Mccaffrey signs with Duke.

mattharper · Jun 5, 2011

For what its worth. Suwannee, Georgia receiver Nick england is definitely 100 percent white. I found him on Facebook and theres no way this kid is slightly Hispanic. Theres a story out where Thug U. is actually thinking of offering him as a rb/wr hybrid. I guess they dont know hes white. Miami has only used 1 skill position player whose white in my 23 years of following football. Backup WR/ kick returner aaron Mosure. I would love to see Nick go there just to break the caste system so long entrenched there.

mattharper · Jun 10, 2011

Mike Mchugh out of Kirkwood Missouri has been offered form Missouri U. . Hes 6'2" and 195 lbs. and runs a 4.47 forty. His initial 10 yard burst isint impressive but he has great separation quickness and he can sky. Hes got at least a 37 inch vertical and can make those circus catches look easy.
