Next up for your viewing we have RB Ruben Garnett (5' 10" 170) of Aquinas High School in Augusta, GA. The Rivals 3 star APB is showing an additional offer from Duke so far. Hudl highlights below.

This kid is a very good player. Extremely quick. Don't let the single-A private school label and competition level throw you off. Very competitive region they played in this past year, that had a lot of kids go to BCS schools.

They beat my son's team in the final regular season game 33-31, after FPD missed three XP's. Aquinas went on to win the championship this year and beat out Calvary Day in the finals. Calvary had a kid sign with Clemson today, and FPD had one sign with the Tar Heels today.

There is no way his 40 is 4.5 , maybe 4.30 to 4.40 Wow !

Other schools have jumped on 2015 Recruiting just as hard as we have.

One Arkansas State fan posted:

"We offered the top 17 prospects in the state of Arkansas this week. Half of them will have at least 4 stars in ranking, and one or two might reach 5 stars. At least one kid on the list has a known offer from Alabama.

Our coaches said we will offer every highly rated athlete nearby, no matter how many SEC offers they have, and will recruit them until they block our phone calls.

Got a 3 star DT Commit yesterday."

I like Russell Wilson's preseason comment. "Why not us?" I'd use this in every recruiting visit . If the 4 or 5 star player wants to play in the NFL they will stand out at App and the SubBelt and the NFL Scouts know where we are. We want to show the world that just because we are not in the SEC et al that we can compete with the best. We can find some prospect that has that kind of chip on their shoulder. As for big corn fed linemen, Midwest was right. Big linemen are all over there. The location of Boone would appeal to many. We need to try a foray into that world. There are plenty of Kilgores we could build around and we are going to need them.

I am going to predict that this thread get 175K views. This would represent a 40% increase over this year if you count the first 23K that disappeared with the thread. With a little "luck" it might reach 200K.

While I am at it I also predict 2000 posts.

The challenge will be to keep them all focused on recruiting!

One things for sure......with FM it is gonna be fun!

DB Calvin Brewton (5' 10" 185) of Miami Central High School in Miami, FL has picked up an offer from App. The Rivals and ESPN 3-star and 24/7 4 star is a Florida State commit has 12 additional FBS offers (7 BCS offers). We're not shy in going after top players.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the 2015 Main Page has been added but not yet linked. I'll be talking to Yosef to get it set and I'll be working on the players pages for each one. Just wanted everyone to know that I'm still working, just behind the scenes for a few more days until we can get everything set up.

[firemoose]

Still here and working. The 2015 Football Main Page is now up to date and all the player pages have been built for the reported "offers". Yosef will be adding the page to the sports/football/recruiting tab soon. I'll post here when it is available and I'm going to get 89' to pin this thread to the top of the Football section. The grind continues.

I love the fact that we are having Booker T Washington's HS (Miami FL) head coach as our guest speaker for the coaches clinic. They were by all regards the best HS football team in the entire nation. My guess is Satterfield and Ponce have cultivated this relationship and hopefully it will pay dividends moving forward. They usually have 3-4 BCS and 6-8 FBS level players on their team at any given time.

I like that as well. Building those relationships and also bringing that coach up here to see what we have. He can go back and share with his players

I see we also got Butler's coach out of Charlotte. They're one of the top programs in NC

I live here in South Florida, if you starter at Washington, your almost guaranteed a schlorship somewhere.

Next up. OL Victor Johnson (6' 5" 260) of North Augusta High School in North Augusta, SC is tweeting he picked up an offer from App. I will be adding him to the Main Page and building a player page for him. He isn't listed on the recruiting sites yet but he tweeted an hour later that he was offered by East Carolina.

Yosef is currently working on a few things with the site. The software has an upgrade to apply and he has to do a little work before he can link the new Main Pages to the tabs up top. He'll have it up and running soon and I'll post as soon as it's ready.

From his twitter WR/DB Malik Dixon (6' 4" 200) of Port Charlotte High School in Port Charlotte, FL is reporting an offer from App. He is listed as a composite 3 star on 24/7. App is showing as his first offer. I'll be adding him to the Main Page also.

#No--Zone ‏@MalikDixon_
Really late post. But got my first offer from Appalachian State #D1 #GoMountaineers #PlayAtTheRock

[firemoose]

From internet reports OL Tommy Hatton (6' 3" 280) of Saint Joseph Regional High School in Montvale, NJ has picked up an offer from App. He is a Rivals 3 star and 24/7 and ESPN 4 star lineman, listed as #195 on ESPN's 300 Jr. listings. He is currently showing additional offers from Boston College, UConn, Duke, Ga. Tech, Indiana, Louisville, Maryland, ODU, Rutgers, and Temple.

No better time than now to remind everyone that these offers that I’m putting up are all “Reported” offers, by which I mean that many are true offers but some are not. Last year I had the page divided into “Unconfirmed” and “Reported” offers. I was putting the reports from twitter and one site in the unconfirmed and would move them once two or more sites reported it but I changed during the year since I didn't want family, friends, or the recruits themselves with legitimate offers to see them listed as unconfirmed. This year they’re all being listed as reported but I’m not going to bother the staff each time I see a player post on twitter that they have received an offer. Only on commits will I get confirmation before listing.

This time of year you can pretty much bet the SFTS (Shoot for the Stars) offers (high 3 and 4 star offers) are correct and some of the lesser offers are too but some are just interest being reported as an offer and others are leverage plays. This will change as we get more into summer but for now it’s easier for me to just add them to the list than spend time trying to figure out if it’s legit or not. I can always remove them later. And for what it’s worth the pros on the recruiting sites will tell you the same thing. I work closely with them and if we can get confirmation then great but for now everything will be listed. There’s just no other way to do it. If I miss on one I would rather it be too much information than too little.

Kelly Bryant was offered by Florida today. But I saw this and Kelly also RT'd it, which doesn't mean much but still...

[tweet] @JFord_12: Kel coming to App to be with his bro. Even if he did jus get a offer from Florida Gators. Haha #AlwaysAttack [/tweet]

From internet reports WR Jonathan Atwell (6' 2" 170) of Western High School in Davie, FL and WR Richie Cooper (5' 11" 178) of Hallandale High School in Hallandale, FL have received offers from App. I have added both to the Main Page but it's not linked yet so I'll post their hudl profiles below. Cooper is showing an additional offer from Marshall and I'm still digging for some more info on Atwell.
