2014 Football Recruits

[Biggie_Smalls]

I understand that Malachi Hoskins DE/WR (6'2, 200 lbs) committed this week. He's a PG from Loomis Chaffee (Prep School in CT)

 

Here are his highlights: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3265824/malachi-hoskins#

 

If you look at his twitter account Kalief Joyner a redshirted TE who we also got from a prep school in CT. via Brooklyn/Oueens in the 2013 class congratulates him on his decision. Malachi may originally be from Queens, NY

We received a commit from a big, big, big boy.

 

Luke Ritter, OT, Delaware Valley H.S. 6'8 290. Chose UA over ODU, Holy Cross, and Delaware State.

Also, a little blurb on the Alec Bowman signing:

 

Last weekend senior offensive lineman Alec Bowman also made his choice official, committing to Albany, where he will join PC QB Steve Shanley, who committed there last week. Bowman was the center of the Paladins O-line and one of their most vocal leaders. - See more at: http://blog.northjersey.com/varsityaces/30351/football-pcs-keyon-washington-commits/#sthash.wwfGAauU.dpuf

Also, Roberson, Bowman, and Repetti have signed also (from above.)

[haggyland]

So, from the GD06 post, it looks like the only unsigned so far are DarShante Thompson, Turner Echols, and transfer Mike Madaras.

 

In addition to his post, signing are: Jake Dudzinski, Greg Reaves, Ethan Stark, and Chris Johnson.

[Dane96]

I like them all. Saw a blurb on Jamal Robinson last night. Seems like a player.

 

Jack Dudzinski's father is on the U Maryland staff-- clearly the connection with Gattuso is a positive one. He's a 6'5 235 lb DL.

[Dane96]

Echols, Thompson, and Madaras are big signings. Waiting for them.

 

And welcome to Chris Johnson- our first Alabama football recruit. I know we had a player in hoops from Arkansas, but I don't think we've had a player in any sport from Alabama. His winters will be different...but welcome to the Purple Family.

[haggyland]

Echols, Thompson, and Madaras are big signings. Waiting for them.

 

Mike Madaras still has to sign as a FBS transfer, right?
