2010-2011 Recruiting Thread

Where do you guys get this info so promptly? Washingtonpreps doesn't write shit about EWU, yet they ran a friggin article about kids who recently chose Montana State, Montana, and Southern Utah--- none of whom were even offered by Eastern to my knowledge.
 
2 things...

1.) any idea how many scholarships we have available? By my count with the recent list, we have 13 verbals

Jake Withnell
Thomas Gomez
Andru Pulu
Jordan Tonani
Cody McCarthy
Jordan Talley
Julius Tevaga
Tevin Williams
TJ Boatright
Cassidy Curtis
Isaiah Davis
Anthony King
Jay Deines

2.) This seems to be one of our highest rated recruiting classes, by my count we have 4 or 5 two star prospects and 1 three star prospect, as well as an FBS drop down out of the 13 verbals so far. I know they don't rank FCS classes and it really doesn't matter at this level, but this appears to be one of our best classes.

O Lineman
Add Jay Deines Puyallup 6-5 255 White Chip
Thats interesting because on ESPN Jay Deines is listed as a 2 star DE from Issaquah and listed at 6-3, on rivals he's listed at OT. So wondering which position he'll play???
 
We could use a quality strong-side defensive end... but producing an OL is equally important. Maybe redshirt him and see how much weight he can put on?
 
McCarthy on his decision to play at EWU: "It's a place where I can step in and make a difference right away, play early, for a good team," McCarthy said. "They had what I wanted to do in school, physical therapy, and I really liked it up there. It's the right place for me."

Here's another to add to the verbal list: Aaron Neary, OL 6-3 245, Hanford, WA

If it means anything here is some highlights of Neary on the basketball court, no football highlights, but the video does however demonstrate he has good athleticism and footwork for a lineman

and another to add to the list: Todd Raynes, WR/DB 6-2 185 Inglemore High School, Kenmore, WA
Highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr5tt7E2ivU

Highlights part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc2bfD4TQiQ&feature=related

Think this vid is a little better

Look at the 2:55 mark on this clip, he may have released a tad early, but when was the last time you saw the long snapper as the first one up the field to make the tackle as the ball is caught.

lol.

Looks like a real good athlete.

Thanks for the link Rev, tomorrow is going to be a great day to be an Eagle!

Jay Deines is an OL out of Issaquah, WA. He's 6'4 to 6'5 and in the range of 265lbs. Seen him play personally, so NOT out of Puyallup. Verbally committed about 3 weeks ago, but was unannounced til today. Coach Best recruited him as OL.
 
Jake Withnell, South Salem, OR HS TE 6-5 230
Thomas Gomez, Graham, WA HS OG 6-3 280
Andru Pulu, Federal Way, WA SO DE 6-1 251 (Washington)
Jordan Tonani, Spokane, WA HS WR 6-1 190
Cody McCarthy, Boise, ID HS MLB 6-1 230
Jordan Talley, Portland, OR HS RB 5-10 185
Julius Tevaga, Everett, WA HS DL 6-2 305
Tevin Williams, Belfair, WA HS WR/DB 6-2 185
TJ Boatright, Vancouver, WA HS TE/LB 6-5 225
Cassidy Curtis, Englewood, CO, HS OL 6-6 231
Isaah Davis, Port Orachrd, WA, HS WR/DB 5-10 170
Anthony King, Elk Grove, CA, HS WR 6-2 185
Jay Deines, Issaquah, WA, HS, OL 6-5 265
Aaron Neary, Hanford WA, HS, OL 6-3 245
Todd Raynes, Kenmore, WA, HS, WR/DB 6-2 185

15, I think that's about right. We'll see how this list matches up with what's published today, hopefully there aren't a lot of changes. Not sure how many scholarships we have to give out, but a few of these will be partials anyway. Looking forward to seeing the official list!
 
Don't be surprised if a name or two on this list doesn't sign. Not saying it's going to happen, but sometimes young men get cold feet. And don't panic if every name isn't on the initial list. EWU cannot announce players until their letter of intent is in, so if a young man wants to do a ceremony later in the day at his school, then EWU won't be able to announce that signing until his fax is received. Most notable for the people who are going to the signing day lunch today. I doubt the list received there will be complete. And there will also be some names we don't know about signing as well. Should be fun today! Good job by all who were able to get the scoop on some of these young men for the rest of us to read.

Demitrius Bronson is still coming to EWU, according to a good authority. I don't know if he will be announced today, but if he is, it's not a binding commitment. He's free to do whatever he wants until he is registered in school in March. So it's another six or seven weeks of waiting until we know for sure if he's part of the program.
 
Besides the lunch today, any news on what LOI's have been received today? Can someone at the lunch provide those of us who are not able to escape work with a recap?

Today is a great day to be an Eagle and I'm excited to see the recruiting list.

Great work guys. You compiled a pretty acurate list. We signed a clean sweep of all those identified plus:

Shaquille Hill, Freemont, CA, HS, WR 5-10 180
Quincy Forte, Fairfield, CA, HS, RB 5-11 185
David Delgado, American Canyon, CA, DL 6-3 320
Clay DeBord, Asotin, WA, OL 6-6 250
Cassidy Curtis, Denver, CO, OL 6-7 260
Jason Boyce (any relation to Aaron?) Kent, WA, WR/TE 6-4 225
Vernon Adams, Pasadena, CA, QB 6-0 180

It's also great to see Demitrius Bronson on the list of newcomers, I really believe he is going to start something big at Eastern. I love the backs we got and I think Demitrius will fit right in.

I like the depth we are creating on the DL. This will allow us to keep players fresh on the field, and that will help maintain the tradition of being dominate at the end of ball games.

A high quality, balanced class with a few more out of state players than usual. But still 13 players that played their HS ball in Washington, counting the two transfers. More than any other D1 program.

Go Eags!
