Re: Signing Day
I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that in the press release they have slotted the recruits where they think they will fit into the team. When you read Dominique's "stuff" it sure looks like we signed a RB to me.
Dominique Clare, 6-1, 215, running back, Delano, Minn.;
Clare posted back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons at Delano High School, earning all-Wright County Conference honors both times. As a senior, he tallied 1,165 yards and scored 12 touchdowns, while also catching six passes for 198 yards and two TDs. A standout in track, he holds the second-fastest 100-meter dash time in school history. Clare, who is undecided about his college major, also competes in basketball.
Compare that to Jim Ebke who was named Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year while quarterbacking Lincoln East High School but is listed at LB.
Jim Ebke (pronounced EBB-ke), 6-1, 190, linebacker, Lincoln, Neb.;
Ebke was the most decorated player in the state of Nebraska during the 2006 season, earning state Gatorade Player of the Year honors while quarterbacking Lincoln East High School to the state quarterfinals. Under the direction of coach John Gingery, Ebke was honored as the Super-State Honorary Captain and Offensive Player of the Year by the Lincoln Journal Star and Omaha World-Herald after setting eight school records and leading Class A in total offense with 1,225 yards passing and 1,549 yards rushing while accounting for 31 touchdowns. Defensively, he made 66 tackles and intercepted two passes. In addition, he has been named to the all-state basketball honorable mention squad two times and has also competed in track and field and baseball at the varsity level. An academic all-state selection in three sports, Ebke plans to major in pre-dentistry.
Either way, I like our class and am looking forward to Jackrabbit Football season! 8-)
Go State!
