Bellevue vs Marysville Pilchuk report

Attended the game tonight to check out some of the potential recruits. Bellevue won 20-10. Hard fought game as it was 10-10 late in the 3rd quarter.
Austin Joyner- Wow. I have watched a lot of his film but one thing I was really impressed with tonight was his power. Very strong lower body. Bellevue was swarming on D but he has a great burst, has Roger Craig type high knee action as well. On one sweep he absolutely planted Gilchrist and barely broke stride. On D he played deep safety, very physical and has great closing speed and a very sure tackler. Really hope he flips to UW. Oh and of course exquisite hips
Henry Roberts- Tough to get a sense on lineman while live in person. Great feet and gets to the next level well. Even at 6'6" I see him more of a guard. Adams and Devin Burleson as tackles for this class
One player I have watched twice now and haven't been impressed is the jr USC commit Garcia. Just hasn't made many plays and tonight didn't even play that much D and just a little offense. No impact on either.

Agree about Joyner. Many reports are all his offers were for RB but he insists on playing safety at the next level.
If Peterman wants him, he's got to offer what Sark wouldn't... DEFENSE! -
I'm heering that he reely wants Washington but doesn't have the academies so he has to go to WSU.
That's what I'm heering. -
Whoosh? They both use the same academic standards for football.creepycoug said:I'm heering that he reely wants Washington but doesn't have the academies so he has to go to WSU.

unfortunately, the Miami faithful are starting to use it too. it's like the ebola. -
Not true. Two words - singor mobley. I know a few of his high school friends (Curtis in Tacoma). He wanted to go to UW, but grades forced him to the palouse.RoadDawg55 said:

This is right, but since Mobley's days things have changed and been standardized. The only school that uses elevated standards in the Pac-12 is Stanford these days.Passion said:

First time seeing Joyner play, really hope he flips to UW.

I work with someone with three kids who are D 1 athuleets, one of whom is at UW and was recrooted by Furd.
Furd has a tiered system by sport and the NCAA minimums mean nothing there. Nobody else in the conference takes that approach. Other than the historical technicality of the PE credit thing, which is entirely an accident of history and not any kind of statement on standards, everyone is operating on the same criteria.
If you're good enough, you're getting in unless you are below the mins, which you almost have to try and be.
I personally know of a UW women's bb recruit who really has no biz going to college - like, none - but 6 foh and 2 fity girls don't grow on trees y'all. -
Hearing shit from high school friends of a dumb recruit isn't exactly good research.Passion said:

Talk to a even a mildly intelligent parent of a recruit who had to learn how the system works, and you will understand.
Furd, Duke, Vandy, the academies, maybe Rice (not sure) - they play it with a tiered system, and of course football has the easiest standards because you need more bodies. But even fb standards at furd are a lot higher than NCAA minimums. Like you have to have a core 3.3 or 3.5 (forget which) or better.
