Ranking the 2013 Recruiting Class

126

First off, great work by Riley and staff. The classes keep getting better each year. Needed DT/CBs and stockpiled quality players are those positions.

Very difficult class to rank because there are so many good players. Gave it a shot anyway. Rankings are in order (e.g. Hunt > Nelson, etc). Some guys (e.g. Huatau) had inconclusive film (shot at weird angle, player wasn’t highlighted, etc).

 

*****

Dashon Hunt

Hunter Jarmon

Steven Nelson

****

Corey Lawrence (love this guy, reminds me of Randall Cobb). Only thing that might hold him back is no natural position.

Charlie Tuaau

Brandon Arnold

Edwin Delva

Kyle Peko (if he can stay in school)

Victor Bolden

***

Lyndon Tulimasealii

Sean Harlow (I know a lot of people think this guy is 4 or 5 talent, I don’t see it. High 3-star/good player but not elite).

Charles Okonkwo

Kyle Kempt

Lawrence Mattison

Jordan Villamin

Damian Haskins

Walter Jones

Justin Strong

Terin Solomon

Titus Failauga

Siale Huatau

**

Michael Greer (warmed up to him a little. Big weakness is lateral speed).

Darrell Songy

Utah @ Oregon State

Beavs will attempt to play basketball tonight at 7.

Kudos to Riley for holding on to a very good class and even poaching a good CB prospect. More thoughts on this within the next few days.

Here's to keeping a very good class.

Matt Boyd Starting

21

It's sounding more and more as if Boyd will be the Sunday starter. I've been calling for this three years. Excited to see what he can do. Stamina might be an issue, especially as the season goes on.

The move would also leave the bullpen short a solid lefty. Englebrekt and Painton are unknowns. Reser and Carlos Rodriquez got shelled last year. Can Andrew Moore (RHP) get lefties out? Curious to see how the bullpen shakes out. A lot of arms but not much experience or success other than Bryant.

Discuss recruiting, Cal hoops, JackBeav's Bengal Lancers memorabilia collection, etc.

Hip hip hooray.
