Coach Simmons was at Skyline HighSchool today (3 peat WA State Champs) in Sammamish, WA. Several D-1 players on the roster. He spoke with Jase Butorac (OL), and re-comfirmed PSU's offer. Butorac has 6 total offers. Other players were Dematteo (MLB), Pelluer (DE), Day (DT/OG), but probably missed out on QB Heaps (BYU) and WR Williams (16 offers).

Heaps is the #1 rated player in the nation. Few schools had a real shot at him.
I know Heaps is ranked at #1QB in the nation and Williams, as a Junior, will more than likely be a 5 star blue chip recruit, I was only kidding! But the rest of the guys mentioned in Butorac, DeMatteo, Pelluer and Day are legit, all have D-1 offers, and guys to build a program around, IMO! These guys won 3 state titles and went 40-2 in their highschool career. They also shutout Sheldon 21-0 in 2008 and Jesuit 17-0 in 2009, the two teams that played for the Oregon 6A Title this year. Lowe (UW commit) had 23 rushing yards against these 4 Skyline guys. Worth a look IMO!!
Looks like Coach Burton and the Viks have their second verbal commitment:
A.J. Powell - DB - Charter Oak HS, Covina, California

Looks like a good pickup.
Those were some much bigger programs that we seemed to have beat out.

He must not like what he saw in Colorado. You rarely see PSU beat out Big12 schools for recruits, but hey I'll take it.
Football season is way too far away.
From the Portland Tribune article:
"Burton expects to gain three transfers from D-I schools and has signed Manoa Latu, a 6-1, 205-pound safety from Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, Calif. Another Mt. SAC player, 6-5, 330-pound O-tackle Bruce Seumanutafa, has committed.
The Vikings also have verbals from Jamil Austin, a 5-9, 180-pound tailback who rushed for 2,080 yards and was conference offensive player of the year at Colony High in Ontario, Calif.; Taylor Meyrick, a 6-5, 260-pound tight end from Oregon City; Devin Topps, a 6-1, 210-pound linebacker from Kent, Wash., and James Seumaala, a 5-10, 235-pound D-lineman from Federal Way, Wash."
Here's a couple Jamil Austin highlight videos I found:

Ross transferring to Portland State
http://oregonstate.scout.com/a.z?s=182&p=9&c=2&cid=941889&nid=4271770&fhn=1
Oregon State cornerback David Ross is transferring to Portland State, the Portland Tribune reported.
Ross, a four star recruit out of Dominguez High, never panned out as he was buried on the depth chart and played sparingly on special teams.
The 6-foot, 180-pound player made just one tackle during his career in Corvallis.
Ross' departure opens up one additional scholarship.

Not sure why Ross wasn't playing at all at OSU, but sure sounds like he is talented. I just read that out of high school he originally had a verbal commitment with Nebraska before signing with the Beavs. This was on scouts.com from a few years ago: "A four-star prospect, Ross has great size and is one of the best pure lock-down corners in California"
I'm sure I'm getting WAY ahead of myself, but imagine having a lock down corner on one side and DeShawn Shead on the other....

Either these kids are slipping through the cracks, or Burton is raiding Nevada's recruiting class. One way or the other, this class is impressive thus far. We needed to load up at RB, and he is doing just that.
Only video on DeVaunte Bolton I could find. The video are 2006 highlights, Devaunte's freshman year:
DeVaunte Bolton, Freshman running back for the League Champion Granite Bay Grizzlies. Here are some highlights of a great season.
