@Ambition1_ yes sir. Time to get that 2014 class started #ctbred

Ervin Phillips will be a senior RB @ West Haven next year.

Stats: Rushed 124 times for 1,057 yards, caught 12 passes for 336 yards, completed 9 of 16 passes for 168 yards and three touchdowns, scored 23 touchdowns and totaled 142 points.

Players do the best job selling the program and recruiting others. Just look at Ole Miss with the number one player committed to Ole Miss and the other top players coming.

hmm. i'm really having a tuff time going thru this qb class for 2014 in ct. a lot of big quality qbs. linta, marchi and barmore all seem to also be on radar. its possible the qb class will be deep just like rb which would be crazy for this state.

Will be interesting to see who separates from pack.
 
wynne picked up a offer from kirk after bc offered. i even hid his name off here form the early list and kirk still sniffed him out :D. dam u kirk! anyway, this is the type of kid we need to land from greenwich if were ever going to make progress down in that area. noel was a great start last year. if u can get a norwalk kid then a gwich kid back to back years, buzz will start to flow not to mention another kid or 3 will also be on our offer list/radar sheet for 2014 down here. HUGE year!!!

time to start a 14 commit list - do we include Branford? Sylva? Bryan? Cunningham?
Expand ...

No. Every commit you give goes out the window, and your process starts again, when you enroll in prep school or a Juco. The services will start calling those guys soon enough and we'll know if they've been reoffered and have re-verballed.

Harold Cooper (RB/Hillhouse) won the 55m Class M Indoor Championship.
Expand ...

Yes. Some times:

Harold Cooper track results (http://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=3413824): 55m time: 6.49 s; 100m 11.22 s; 200m 23.52 s; long jump 19'5"
Josh Marriner track results (http://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=1675995): 55m time: 6.43 s; 100m 10.79 s; 200m 23.01 s; long jump 21'7"
Laray Smith track results (http://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=1823314): 55m time: 6.50 s; 100m 11.05 s; 200m 21.61 s; no long jump

All great players, just want to remind everybody we got a very fast back in this year's class, and the guy we missed on, Laray Smith, is the fastest high school runner in the country at 300m/400m, he has elite speed, but is not necessarily superior to Cooper or Marriner in football speed.
 
I really like Marriner. I think he is underrated. The kid has a lot of ability. Bounces around through the pile like a pin ball. Shakes tacklers off, utilizes a solid stiff and can still run away from people. Great looking back with a great build, low center of gravity. Solid and stocky already with possibly more muscle to add. One of the steals of this class. The kid put up crazy numbers this year. And judging by his track numbers, he's got some wheels too.
 
good thread on the cuse board with some nuggets. one of them was known just not where the kid was going but makes sense. u guys have heard me mention 2013 wr cooper before becuase a family member of his is cooper the rb 2014 from ct. well he will be preping at milford. so theres that if your looking to make a splash.

the nyc rb samuel(eh) got a nd offer. jay hayes already verbaled to nd for 2014, i was hoping him and cam were boys but it didn't matter much(poly kids). ehall has been building a serious monster along with a few other programs, we need to get into those. missing on laray hurt becuase xaverian is another brand name, i remember some crazy afternoons on the ruby field with them in hs.

we need to break thru to the top half of kids in nyc. this good news is fsu/fl/miami seem to have eyes on certain rbs from the south. and now with nd on samuel were slowly becoming a bit more focused in the race to land some of the handful of bcs quality ct backs for 2014. time will tell....

just missed on Wayne Morgan last year. Would have been a great get for the pipeline at EHall.

We do have a good start in our pipelining in NYC though. Lots of kids recently with interest and guys on our roster.

Wait so is that Corey Cooper who is going to Milford?
 
Just watched the Harold Cooper highlight tape from 2011. That is a Div. 1 player there. Love the way he reads his blocks and seems to always be one step ahead of the defense. Great vision.

Do we know if UCONN has shown interest?

UCONN needs to offer him ASAP. And 2011 was his sophomore year! Wow. We all know he is ridiculously fast, but his cutting ability and vision are solid. Looks to have a ton of lower body strength too, he runs through arm tackles.

Well if he isn't in the top 5, I would be happy if UCONN could nab him as a consolation prize. Seriously, he looks fantastic on that tape, and I am not including the typical, take a pitch and just run untouched 80 yards for a score. He ran in a traditional I several times and looked great.

Yeah I've been high on Cooper for a little while. Can't wait for this next signing year to play out. I think we have some momentum, with the way some local kids are chatting on twitter, It would be soooo big to close on 2 of 3 cooper, outlow, newsome. IF Not ALL 3! Imagine the playmakers on Offense their Freshman year.
 
as of right now my list is:

outlow
newsome
thomas
mcalister
phillips
cooper

but it could change 2moro when some 1 tells me something.
 
Having seen Newsome, Cooper, Phillips, and Outlow here my thoughts on this talented group.

1. Newsome - He's the total package. Although he's only 5'8,180, he has the frame to play at 190-195. He certainly plays bigger then his size. He can break tackles at the LOS and can run inside or out. He's has great feet and fluid hips. He is the best of the group at planting and changing direction very quickly. He stays very low in and out of cuts and is very good at setting up blocks. He is a very patient runner with good vision. He won't bounce out of the hole, if the hole doesn't open. He will take what a defense gives, very rarely loses yards. He will ride his linemen until he sees a seam he can get through. His lack of height helps him hide from defenders, allowing him to set up his blocks. He's very hard to square up in the hole because he sees the field so well. He doesn't have the straight line speed of Cooper or Outlow but he runs a sub 4.5, so he's fast enough. He also has very good hands and experience playing WR, so he's a threat in the pass game as well. He can play some slot to create mismatches.

2. Outlow - He's a physical, between the tackles, back. At 6', 190, he has the best size in the group and can likely play at 200-205. He's has the ability to out-run defenders to the edge. However, he doesn't get in and out of cuts quickly. He's a one move and done runner. He reminds me of DeAngelo Berry from Xavier. Very strong, very fast. North/South runner. Can catch the ball but primarily from the backfield.

3. Cooper - Easily the smallest and fastest of the group, but probably the strongest. He is a smaller version of Maurice Jones-Drew. He's built like a tank. He can run inside and out but lacks good patience. He will look to bounce, if the holes not there right away. If he gets to the second level, he's gone. Has a low center of gravity making him very difficult to tackle. Shows some shiftiness, will make defenders miss but usually will try to outrun them to the edge first. He's the least comfortable catching the ball but is good in the screen game. His speed is unmatched.

4. Phillips - He's the most versitile of the group, more of an athlete then a RB. He's just a playmaker. He has a knack for making something out of nothing. He's very shifty and very hard to tackle in the open field. He lacks the speed of the others, but is dangerous as a runner or receiver. He's also very slight, not a between the tackles runner. He won't take 3 yards, he'll dance at the LOS looking for the big play. I don't think he'll be recruited as a RB. He'll either be an ATH or a DB.

They will all need to become better pass blockers at the next level. They really aren't asked to do it much at the HS level.

great job! i see phillips as tavon austin like, part slot part runner. thats why i have said i want 3 rbs form new england this year him being 1 of them. i honestly dont think uconn can take both cooper and newsome, just not sure thats a good idea. it has to be 1 of those 2 and then land outlow or thomas.
 
I was wondering with 2013 recruiting in the books (great class btw even without Lagow) when do the recruiting sites start rating out the 2014 class? Does anyone know this? Also what do people think the monster CT RB's will be rated at? I'm just guessing but with the interest Outlow is generating he is def a 4* no? As for the other one's I would imagine 3* but what the hell do I know.
