Jenny AU-92 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Link to SI article... Eighteen players on this year's Hoover squad have already received scholarship offers. It's likely that a dozen of those players will be on Division I rosters next season. Three of them are among the most coveted recruits in the country: offensive lineman Ryan Pugh, a 6'3", 270-pound road grader who has orally committed to Auburn; defensive tackle Kerry Murphy, a 6'5", 318-pound house of bricks who has narrowed his choices to Alabama, Auburn and Miami; and defensive end Josh Chapman, a 6'1" 280-pounder with a neck-snapping first step who has orally committed to Auburn. I also thought the first paragraph was funny... even a 7 year old knows the sad truth... It's a tar-meltin'-hot Friday night in July in Alabama, and Ross Wilson is once again walking toward the brightest lights in his small city. With his helmet in hand, the 17-year-old quarterback for Hoover High strides through the double doors of his school's locker room and onto the asphalt road that leads to Buccaneer Stadium. Before Ross reaches the field, he's stopped on the sideline by his older brother, John Parker Wilson, the starting quarterback at the University of Alabama. As Ross chats with John Parker, a former Parade All-America who led the Buccaneers to state titles in 2002 and '03, a seven-year-old boy approaches, holding a football and a pen, and asks for an autograph from the most famous football player in all of Hoover. The brothers smile, and then John Parker takes a half step back while Ross gladly scribbles his name on the ball, then turns and strides onto the field.

DKW 86 7,440 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 1) They were never offered. 2) They never wanted them. 3) They have better players they are looking at. 4) only got them because is on probation. (Hint: They arent.) 5) Rivals will immediatyely lower their star ratings several places for committing to 6) blah blah blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
