Top prospects for 2011

[Bullpride08]

Shark,  nice one on JaJuan...not many people know about him except a few colleges.  I believe his offers are starting to come in and he is getting BCS ones.  I want this kid bad, he's the type of kid USF should get on now, and show the love, so by August he's not running and verbally to the first big offer he gets.  He's still a well kept secret relatively speaking, and like someone said perhaps his brother can go JC and we can get him in as a pref walk-on or on schollie to entice.

Ray Drew's probably a pipedream...Cliett's school but we just got on him.  I am not sure if there is any connection to Cliett..relation.  Could get interesting though.

bull dozier...i meant his HC came from Nease...whereever the Messiah played.

Remember two North Pasco names, Hernando guys like Broderick Lee, and JaJuan.  Lee is the kind of kid we'll all blink and by July he'll be this year's Leon Orr.  Everyone will wonder who and why....but he's been dominating Pasco, and North Pinellas for a while.  He's a better DL then Pompey, that's for sure!  Which says a lot.

Ja'Juan is getting more popular than people know. Ohio State has already called him and told him to expect an offer. Minnesota and Georgia Tech among others are informed also.

Broderick Lee is from Tarpon Springs. They have a few D1 players over there for next year.

Pasco has Jamie Byrd who is a stud. We need to keep an eye on Hernando High School also.

But I am going to go to the next home basketball game and while I am there I am going to try and meet up with some football coaches or something and give them Ja'Juan's film/transcripts personally.

Oh no, there goes the neighborhood when OSU starts calling.  Ja'Juan is a good looking athlete I hope our staff jumps on early and quickly.  Good idea getting them the video....they're still a bit chaotic in terms of the who's and what's they need to go after next year.

I know Lee's from TS, we signed his older brother Engram 2-3 years ago but he was a sign and place JC.  I don't believe he ever made it into JC?  Lee's a good one, and we had an ally in his former HC Kotis but he just left TS...so now's the time to get in with the new staff, and work Lee.  He's a good one, and they've got a D1 RB for next year.  They had possibly the best RB/Athlete in the area, or the best no one had heard of in Adrian Golden but he was never eligible and couldn't take visits and is going JUCO.  Look for him to be a top JC coming out in 2 years if he follows through.  He was so electric with the ball.  The year before I think he played at Gulf and was just plain unstoppable returning kicks, and rushing for nearly 2500 yards!  This year at TS he was sporadically available because of academics, and platooning with the other younger back but still had showed great stuff.  Schools drooled over him but rarely visited because of his eligibility.  Thankfully it kept some big schools away from TS this year since they didn't have anyone really D1 material. 

Byrd's a nice athlete too.  Pasco, and Hernando are loaded this year.  Keep up the good Nature Coast chattter!

Any info on Chris Jones. He a 6'4 275 4 star DT out of Jacksonville. He's looking at East Carolina, Florida State,  Iowa State,  Miami (FL),  Syracuse. Only offer came from East Carolina. I wonder if he got that offer from Coach Holtz while he was there.

and No. 32: Ja'Juan Story.. tbo...

[bulldozier1]

Checking out news on the Bulls on scout.com. They have write up about Tim Jernigen from gaytor bastards section. Talking about how Tim has almost ever offer in America. But the gaytors are the CLEAR CUT FAVORITES to get Tim. I hope, I hope, I hope that USF smash them.

Nature Coast WR Ja'Juan Story gets USF offer

Posted on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2010 at 10:46 a.m.

Nature Coast receiver Ja'Juan Story will visit USF today to pick up an official scholarship.

The rising senior got the verbal offer Tuesday morning and will travel to campus later today with Nature Coast assistant Rob Kazmier to check out the facilities and attend the USF men's basketball game against Cincinnati.

Story already has offers from Florida State, Florida International and Marshall.

"Ja'Juan is open right now," Kazmier said. "He likes Florida State. He likes USF."

Kazmier talked to USF receivers coach Phil McGeoghan on Monday. McGeoghan, who already knew about Story according to Kazmier, watched Story's Youtube clip online.

"He talked to Ja'Juan and we got things rolling," Kazmier said. "It was perfect timing on my part because they're going over the recruiting plan right now. Today is receivers."

Story (6-foot-4, 185 pounds) primarily played receiver and defensive back in 2009, also sharing time at quarterback.

At receiver, he had 13 receptions for 423 yards (32.5 yards per catch) and three touchdowns. At quarterback, he had 27 carries for 265 yards and two touchdowns (just two starts as a quarterback). Defensively he had 22 tackles and one sack.
