Texas picks up 2 recruits:

Scouting Report:
Andrews plays with the athleticism and playing strength needed to dominate as both a run and pass blocker. Has the height for the offensive tackle position at the major level of competition; has the long frame which should support additional body mass over time. Playing out of a two and three point stance we see very good initial quickness and first step explosion; has strong hands and is able to knock defenders back on their heels with his first punch; plays with a flat back and is able to gain an immediate advantage on first contact. When single or double team blocking we see the ability to roll the hips and sustain due to his blocking base and persistent leg drive. Does a very good reacting and adjusting to movement; plays in space very well, showing excellent flexibility, agility and balance; is productive as a trap blocker; gets out of his stance, clearing the line and demonstrating the ability to locate and adjust his blocking angle on the move; gets out in front, displaying good downfield aggressiveness. We see the athleticism needed to reach and consistently get a hat on active 1st and 2nd level defenders. This is a lineman with the athleticism and physical tools needed to make all the run blocks at the next level. His long arms, quick hands and nimble feet should be assets in pass protection. Sets quickly showing good bend with the ability to slide and stay in front of pass rushers; gets his hands up quickly working for placement and extension; has the athleticism to recover and get out of trouble. This guy is a tough customer who finishes with a nasty attitude. With added bulk and improved playing strength, Andrews could challenge for a starting spot immediately.

Scouting Report:
Burke is a well-built dual-threat quarterback that lacks ideal height, but is highly productive as both a runner and passer. He is sturdy and a tough, elusive runner. As a passer he does an excellent job of finding throwing lanes and subtly moving around the pocket to get the ball out. Shows very good feet, drop speed and a quick set up. Can scan the field and work through progressions. Has the ability to make every throw from within the pocket and displays adequate-to-good arm strength. Has flashed the ability to drive the ball to the sideline from the opposite hash and push the ball deep downfield from within the pocket. Is very proficient in the short-to-intermediate passing game and can fit the ball between tight coverage on in routes, curls and crossing routes. When he is set, he will show very sound accuracy to all levels. Athletically he can buy time, move around and make plays on the move, but he is always looking to throw and make a play with his arm. He is a long strider as a runner and can cover a lot of ground with good overall elusiveness. Will lower his shoulder and shows some power. Has good speed, not great for the position. Outside of the pocket he is very good as a run/pass option as he throws very well on the move. While Burke is consistent in his mechanics and is sound in his footwork, balance and set up, there is something quirky about his motion. Cocks and slightly pushes the ball at times. He shows RPM and sound zip, but may lack elite power. Burke is a prospect that is a spread offense fit. He comes from a great program with a high expectation level. Should receive mid-major and moderate BCS level interest.
USC adds another much needed defensive lineman. With a defensive line that will be thin with returning players next year the USC coaching staff has been going very hard after some top notch talent in this years recruiting class and have added another to the arsenal that should see immediate playing time next year.

Very true....he will have 4 Papa LoneStar BSF offseason programs to improve. If his acceleration can jump 5 and both pass rushing moves can jump 10 in for his redshirt senior season....I'll gladly take 85 acceleration and 90+ for power/finesse moves.Quote:

OSU's second recruit of the year. I'm hoping he can come in be a good slot wideout his first year and work up the depth chart.

Walker is the first signee of 2012 to the Seminoles, and his verbal commitment comes at a position of need. His athleticism will allow him to instantly see playing time on special teams, and perhaps compete for the backup spot at MLB or even OLB. He picked the Seminoles over Oklahoma State and the home-state Longhorns.

Dammit Jeff, I had him penciled in as my starting Sam in a season or two.
Glad I could be of service, OB. He'll probably be a Mike for me unless I can sign another MLB this year.
My type of MLB....nice pickup....kid clearly wants to play in the best conference. SEC! SEC! SEC!
Texas grabs another.

Johnson is likely a candidate to move into an H/TE role for the next level, but is about as quick twitch as you can expect a player of his size to be. Possesses the size and strength that could quickly outgrow the receiver position. Once in stride, he has enough speed to pull away from the defense. Still growing into his body and can be awkward at times getting his big frame in and out of breaks. Needs to keep developing his feet. Not a sudden athlete, but a long strider that is a vertical threat. Needs to develop his release versus press with feet and hands - he has the strength. Good feel for positioning in the red zone, uses his body well. Plays with good route tempo and understands were the openings are in zone coverage. Absorbs contact and competes hard for the ball in the air. Fights for extra yards, but is not always an aggressive runner. Soft hands with elite range to catch poorly thrown balls. Can go up and high point the football. Limited route tree for deeper ranges of the field with his lack of explosion. Smooth route runner that has good value as a vertical route runner, seams, posts, go's. Can improve his ability to stack defenders on go routes. Elite red zone threat with size and basketball ability. Not sudden after the catch, will pull away from the defense if he catches the ball in stride. Big target to hit that tries to lower his pad level and gain extra yards. Size mismatch for defensive backs if left one-on-one on the outside. Plays with good bend to be able to stay with and dominate smaller players. Big athletic frame that could develop in several different directions, big possession receiver, spread tight end or put on bulk and develop into a true tight end. Two sport star, a solid basketball prospect.

Despite Coach Davis being shunned by recruit Mark Graham, they were able to pick up their first recruit of the season at a position of severe importance.

Gandy has blistering speed and looks to come in and compete for the nickel position as well as a returner. If he does not make his way into the top 4 at CB, he will redshirt his Freshman year and look to work towards a starting position in his second season.
This dude would SO play QB for me.Quote:

Meadows doesnt blow you away with his skills, but his size is what the coaches liked. He could possibly be moved to one of the safety spots or he will continue to be a big CB.
I feel ya....but he will play CB for me. The #1 athlete Sheldon Hall (should be locked up soon) is 6'3" 207....90 speed, 87 agility, 89 acceleration, 85 throwing power, 82 throwing accuracy....he looks like he could play DB, too....but after a redshirt....those 5 attributes look to be nice for the offense I want to run. I also have the #1 QB locked up with his 96 throwing power and 82 accuracy just in case he doesn't work out.Quote:

C.J. has been told very early in the process that barring an injury he is set to Redshirt his first season. The DB coaches hope that can work him hard to improve on this reaction to the play better. C.J. is raw and gets himself out of position quickly because with some coaching we got a really good prospect at FS.

Daniel is going to be a really big part of the Oregon offense heading forward. He was intrigued by the chance to get the ball both in the air and through some carries. With Oregon's offense he may just find himself getting a little of both. He has outstanding hands and this staff is excited at the possibilities.
The 4th overall commit and 3rd of the week was a huge get for Oregon, they landed P David Seymour

Without question he is starting next season. This was a huge position of need and the staff knew they needed to address it early this season. With the P and FS locked down the staff can really go after some recruits that may be overlooked.
USC adds a versatile recruit to possibly fill some holes. Andy is well positioned to play QB or WR for the Trojans depending on where we need him. Right now he will probably come in and take a redshirt year at QB and see how some of the others on the depth chart progress.

Love seeing these ath that can play multiple positions and where each user will use them. PSU does have a delima on his hands with Bratton and will be nice to see how he pans out in the position that he uses him for
