2014 Recruiting Thread

[martymoose]

From Brandon Huffman:

Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian cornerback Malik Cyphers committed to Portland State over a handful of FBS offers...

Three star DB and we beat out Idaho, UNLV, NMSU and SMU?

 

[martymoose]

Seems to be very little news coming out about offers and commits this year. Makes me a little nervous. Isn't signing day on Feb 5th?

How many seniors graduated?

16

Not all of those guys were on scholarship though. I don't know how many scholarships PSU has available. How does the budget problem come into play with scholarships if at all?

 

[VikThunder]

Haven't beem paying much attention but what a drop off from previous years. This was an area the Burton could hang his hat. Hope he comes through on signing day.

Coach Burton was at the Blazer game last evening with quite a few young men too.

Marqueese Royster and Aiden Wilder were two of them, I'm not sure who the other ones were. Looks like Coach Burton and staff are doing a great job recruiting this year. Two 3 star cornerbacks from Cali, a number of Oregon high school stars, some transfers......could be a very good recruiting class!

 

[Guychamp]

Could someone please put together a list?

It's nice to see a good crop of DBs coming in. Looks like a down year for linemen however.

With all the linemen that they've been recruiting the past couple of years, maybe they decided to focus on other areas. I'm sure they'd like to have a more balanced approach to signing players, to keep the pipeline full, but sometimes that may not be possible.

FOOTBALL: Linfield Christian DE House commits to Portland St.

http://blog.pe.com/hsgametime/2014/01/28/football-linfield-christian-de-house-commits-to-portland-st/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Temecula Linfield Christian defensive end Dallas House has verbally committed to Portland State, becoming the first Lions football player to get a full Division I scholarship.

House, a 6 foot 3, 220-pound senior, took an official visit to PSU last weekend and made his verbal commitment then. He also had offers from Memphis, South Dakota, Southern Utah and Azusa Pacific.

House made 71 tackles, including 18 for a loss, and had six sacks and four forced fumbles last season.

His film showed him to be very active. I'm wondering if they are thinking Linebacker.

Great pick-up for the Viks! Only concern is he suffered an ankle injury this year, but should be able to bounce back and just be a great linebacker for Portland State in the future! Roll Viks!

Looks like a well rounded list. 3 LBs, 3 DTs, 3 DEs, 2 DBs, 2 Oline, a TE, a QB, and a Kicker.

We are deep at O line and WR and have a good crop of RBs coming up so this list seems to fill our most pressing needs.

Michael Doman

agreed. Have to keep in mind though that two of those DT's won't be available for two years. The kids from Roosevelt are going on their missions for the LDS church before starting their football careers at PSU.
