2010 Football Recruiting List

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

And he is already attending class along with the DE from Kansas, so they can both participate in spring football!!

He looks good in the video. He does not waste time in pocket, he gets rid of it rather quickly. His mobility reminds me of Berry a little bit.

Last year we had 4 QB's and so far we have 3 for next year. You could also count Lotzer I guess. I think we are set at QB which is good. Now I think we need to focus on OL.

I think you definitely count Lotzer and throw out Sumner. IMO Sumner should red-shirt to give him one more year to play once O'Brien leaves three years from now.
O'Brien 1st
Thomas 2nd/3rd
Lotzer 3rd/2nd
Sumner - RS (Unless he blows people away and starts in front of TOB as a true-freshmen).

Go Jacks!!

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

What a coincidence, he throws a bunch of 5 yard outs in the video and that seems to be main pass our QB's throw as well.

Which I don't really understand, I would think it's the most dangerous/ineffective route you can run. The ball travels 20 yards horizontally and 5 yards vertically and if a CB jumps the route he's gone for a pick 6. Also the receiver can't ever catch it in stride, he has to turn his shoulder towards the QB, catch the ball, and than turn direction again and go up field where he is boxed in between the defender and the sideline.
I'm much more in favor of slants and post routes and was really irritated by all the 5 yd outs this year (especially during the MN game).

Rant over.

Welcome to SDSU Jordan!

I think I sat in-front of you @ that game...

It puts the ball on the very edge of the defense and if done right leaves the defender 1 on 1 versus the receiver. Most coaches will assume their receiver can make the first guy miss. Barring and incompletion (or a pick), worst case is a five yard gain. Which is good unless it's 3rd and 6.

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

Looks like a pretty mobile QB with good arm strength. Much of his JC experience they used him in shot gun formation and his feet are very active at all times. He appears to have a quick release and the ability to throw the 50+ yard corner effectively. Take a look at the video from Rivals.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_-yZ6k9USs

He is listed at 6'2" and 200 lbs.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...-Thomas-105927

Here are some of his numbers last year.

http://ext.sac.edu/academic_progs/ex...L/teamcume.htm

185 yards/game, 21 TDs and 15 interceptions.

Did anybody else notice their shotgun formations and think they were a little odd/inventive?

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

TV reported QB Jordan Thomas of Santa Ana JC committed to the Jacks.

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

Jolene Slagter(sp) from the volleyball team a fews years ago enrolled early. She and her sister Laura later transferred to a lesser school to the south.

I think some basketball players have done the same. Again, I can't provide any specifics. Sorry for the thread drift.

I am interested to see if Coach Stig says anything about recruiting today.

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

I'm pretty sure we have had a few athletes early enroll. I'm not 100% sure but I think there have been some.

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

It is a big advantage for football recruits to enroll early since they are then able to go through spring football putting them that much further ahead when fall rolls around. However, our coaches seem to recruit rather late and if that remains the same we will probably never see an early enrollee.

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

I can't think of any high school athletes that have come to SDSU and enrolled early. This has become even more popular for high school athletes just recently then it has been in the past. If a player enrolls he will then have to sit out a year if he transfers. That's why the top recruit for USC Kyle Prater decided to not enroll as of yet, so he can think about it some more.

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

another ? I was reading that Notre Dame had 5 fb players early enroll, USC had a few, does SDSU ever have anyone early enroll? Or have they, not JuCo's, I mean high school students...

also and this is a little off topic but with PC and not Kiffin also with USF's coach and Leach being fired later then usual and with recruits their supposedly already early enrolled in some of those schools, if you early enroll and transfer do you have to sit out a year....

Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List

On an official visit are coaches allowed to work recruits out at all?

No...no tryouts/workouts may be conducted during a visit.
