Jay Barker's son with coach. He's just too small to play big time ball I believe.

How old is he? Probably not a senior, or we would have heard of him before. Assuming he's not, he surely has room to grow some.

Texas Lutheran's kicker had first kick blocked, but kicked it through the uprights on the ricochet. Didn't know it was legal

We need elite DTs an CBs.

We're suffering now because we haven't landed our elite DT targets the past couple seasons. The ones we have landed are still developing or haven't panned out.

Jeffrey Simmons was a huge miss.


I'm hoping LSU fall apart, then keep Oeaux, so we can flip some of their DB targets or at least get Tyson Campbell.

Auburn's struggles could help us with Coynis Miller and Bobby Brown appears to be ours.

Yeah Antuwan Jackson and he chose Ohio State.

Those bastards, Michigan, Clemson, UGA, Auburn, LSU and even Mississippi State have hurt us recently getting our top targets.

We need to get aome big time talent like Jon Allen, Payne, Hand, etc.... but we just can't close recently.

Caleb Tremblay. Sounds like we're in pretty good shape with him.

Just saw some of his highlights. Do we seriously have a shot with him, or is he all Washington???

Saivion Smith didn't make it to campus yesterday due to still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.

Quay Walker left Tuscaloosa after the game and spent the night in Auburn.

If that lets us sign some of the other guys we're in on numbers-wise (Peterson, Anoma, Henry, etc..), then...

I've heard nothing specifically from the guys on my end, but the mods on the sites linked here seem to think we're in really good shape for Tremblay. I love the fact that UW wants him so badly, as well. Peterson is as good at talent evaluation as anybody.

Rivals100 DE Eyabi Anoma says he is open to all schools

quote:

Rivals100 defensive end Eyabi Anoma made a bit of news this week coming out on Twitter declaring his recruitment open and denying the rumors of a silent commitment. The Baltimore (Md.) St. Frances star addressed the situation and updated recruitment after his team beat Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco last night.

IN HIS OWN WORDS…

“Everything blew up last week,” Anoma said. “College coaches have been trying to contact me by any means. Everything in my recruitment is open. A lot of coaches were getting the impression that I’m only focused in on the schools I talk about. Those are just the ones I remembered. My recruitment is completely open. Every school has a chance. Arizona, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State are schools that have been really reaching out lately. I’m looking at possibly Texas A&M for an unofficial.

“I went to Maryland last weekend,” he said. “Maryland is home. Whenever I have a chance to go down there I will. I said Maryland is on the rise in the summer. They beaten Texas, Towson, and the sky is the limit for Maryland.

“I’m a little hurt that my friend Terrell Lewis (formerly Terrell Hall) got hurt at Alabama,” said Anoma. “He’s like a big brother to me. He’s been watching my games and we talk about what I need to work on. I watched his whole game the other week and I was so hurt and devastated when he got hurt. I know he’s going to bounce back. He has that grit in him.

“Michigan is Michigan. Go Blue,” he said. “I watched the Florida game and they looked outstanding. This year they have a chance to make it to the playoffs and do some damage off the strength of how they are getting coached and how consistent they’ve been. They are consistently bringing the heat on defense. Alabama brings the heat on every single play and Michigan is starting to do the same thing.

“Coach Tosh at Alabama, coach Durkin at Maryland, and coach Harbaugh at Michigan are my guys,” Anoma said. “I might sign in December.

“Right now I’m focused on the season and being with my family and my people,” he said. “I love that my father and my sisters were able to come up here for the game and they had my grandma on FaceTime the whole game.

“I was really proud of my offensive line tonight,” said Anoma. “

Jaelyn Duncan (a Maryland commit) is gaining confidence and getting so much better. 

Peace Addo is a big guy and he is learning. When he has the confidence and really learns the plays he is gong to be great. 

Darrian Dalcourt, Josh Miller, Antonio Derry, and the whole offensive line was great. Iron sharpens iron. They make me better and I make them better.”

RIVALS’ REACTION

Anoma’s recruitment will be fun to watch as we move closer to the end of the process. Alabama, Maryland, and Michigan are the three main players but the door is clearly not closed to other teams that want to make an impression. Anoma’s constant presence has to make Terps fans happy but his good friend Terrell Lewis also took a number of visits to Maryland before committing to Alabama on Signing Day in 2016. That could be a bit worrisome for Maryland who has lost major local defensive end recruits like Lewis and Josh Kaindoh over the last two recruiting classes. With Anoma in the thick of his senior season, it could be tough for him to get out on the road for official visits until the winter.

Jeffrey Simmons is a beast at MSU, as we figured he would be.

The story I've heard goes that he called Bama's staff to tell them he was coming on the morning of Signing Day. MSU contacted his coach about an hour before his commitment/signing to offer him a position on staff if he could deliver Simmons. The coach and someone affiliated with MSU spoke to his mother, who talked Jeffrey into signing for MSU. He and his mother supposedly called us later that evening to see if he could get out of the letter he faxed in, but we told him it was too late.

I know there are a few here who really don't like anybody mentioning these kinds of things because you're upset that it will sound like sour grapes. Okay, that's fine. I get it. This may or may not have occurred, but I find it interesting nonetheless. I also believe that the coach actually did join their staff, so it sounds at least somewhat true.
