re: Recruiting Mock Draft 2012 - JOHNNY FOOTBALL!!

I never gave my phone number but do emails count? haha

Well, considering I've likely assembled the greatest group of talent in collegiate history, I think I'm being modest.

QB: Fuller - explosive, Mike Vick clone that will probably run roughshod in the Pac 12.

RB: Durron Neal - OU always has these guys that put up ungodly offensive numbers. For the next 4 years, his name will be "Durron Neal."

WR: Joel Caleb - A big, natural athlete that played QB now playing WR? This Anquan Boldin clone will start 4 years at VTech.

WR: TBD

WR: TBD

TE: TBD

LT: Halapoulivaati Vaitai - the name alone is worth the price of admission. His arms are so long he spends his spare time rescuing stranded kitties from tree tops.

LG: TBD

OC: TBD

RG: TBD

RT: Evan Goodman - what's that, another 4-year starter? I guess you can never have enough of them.

LE: Ideafi Odenigbo - Considering his brilliance, he could probably coordinate my defense, but I'll just let him be a menace pass rusher.

DT: Mario Edwards - best player in this class. PERIOD.

DT: Tyler Nero - Explosive first step, will wreak havoc on all your big plodding guards and then shove their jock straps down your QBs throats.

RE: Devonte Fields - Best DL hands in this class. Good luck trying to block him.

WLB: Michael Barton - He can run, he can tackle and he's mean. Prototypical Tampa 2 WLB. Lance Briggs lite.

MLB: TBD

SLB: TBD

CB: Donaldven Manning - Already on campus, chance to start at a program which puts DBs into da league? You gotta be kidding me, guys! 8th round?!?

CB: TBD

S: Jordan Moore - Best athlete in this entire class. Could probably be a National Champion hurdler, if he didn't enjoy fricking people up as a hobby. Big, can run, likes to hit, was one of the most chased recruits at season's end? Slleeeeeeepppeeerrrr

S: Jarrod Wilson - Team captain with a great brain. Will make the defensive calls, get everyone lined up, and then rack up turnovers just to put a bow on it. He's already on campus, playing for a DC that coached Ed Reed?

to you for continually raising the bar regarding analyzing/hyping your team. I always have to keep pace with you

shite hit the fan at work guys, so I won't really be able to keep up much today. SOrry. Will update tonight.

Suntiger selects, Jamal Lyles, OLB from Michigan State



Ht: 6' 3"
Wt: 215 lbs

Lyles may end up at DE, but at either spot he should see some playing time next year. He played some TE and has really good coverage skills so he will probably end up at OLB, but he could use a redshirt to put on some extra muscle. Michigan State plays good defense and I expect Lyles to be a really good player for them.

VEEERRRRRRRRRLLLLAAAAAAAAAAANDER!!!!!

Being over half way done, I really don't think I could have done much better. I'm starting to regret my Avery Johnson pick so early, but I really wanted Dural and think I convinced myself to like Avery for the same reasons.

Anyway, on to the Dan-like team hype:


QB – Zach Kline (Cal) 2nd Round
Best QB prospect to go to Cal in a while. Perfect QB for Tedford to mold into an all-american.
RB – Mario Pender (FSU) 1st Round
Will split time for a year or so, but should be a stud putting up good numbers behind big time offensive lineman. And we all know how much Jimbo likes to run the ball. Run, Run, Pass & Punt!
RB –
WR – Kwinton Smith (USCe) 7th Round
WR – Avery Johnson (LSU) 10th Round
Both of these guys are tall WRs who have the ability to step into a starting gig from day one as the big recivers from their teams left this year. Oh yeah, one of them is Patrick Peterson's little brother. Booyah!
TE/WR –
OT – Ryan Ward (Iowa) 11th Round
Corn fed midwesternern who's dad and brother were/are starters for Big-10 teams. He'll be the next in line of great Iowa offensive lineman.
OG – Cedrick Poutasi (Utah) 12th Round
One of the top rated guards who will likely end up playing tackle. Yeah, he'll be that good and will likely get drafted into the NFL in the second round one day because of that.
C –
OG –
OT –

DE – Ken Ekanem (VT) 9th Round
DT – Damien Jacobs (FSU) 8th Round
DE/DT –
DE/OLB – Jamal Lyles (Michigan State) 13th Round
MLB/OLB – Keith Brown (Louisville) 3rd Round
MLB – Nick Dawson (Louisville) 6th Round
OLB –
CB – Terry Richardson (Michigan) 5th Round
CB –
FS –
SS – Corey Thompson (LSU) 4th Round

My defense is just NASTY. NASTY! How Nasty? They all call her Ms. Jackson, 'cause their just that Nasty!
Jacobs, Dawson and Thompson up the middle are hard hitters with good speed and should see PT this year. Ekanem, Lyles and Brown are speedy guys who can get after the QB. They may redshirt, but they are almost guaranteed PT after that. Ekanem will probably be the next Sam Montgomery once he rehabs his knee. Richardson is short, real short. He may even be shorter than TM7. But TM7 is pretty good, isn't he? And Richardson will be good too under Hoke's defensive tutalage.

Ryan Watson, OG, Purdue. Don't really know much about him, but he has a solid list of offers and is pretty highly rated.
