I'm excited to see Taylor, whose family is friends with my family, play for the Red and White! He has done well at Harnett Central (my rival HS), and I'm ecstatic to see him suit up after his redshirt year.

"but even if he doesn't he could become a decent DB for us as he was recruited by Coach Reed also."

I'm not sure how much correlation this carries. You always hear about things like tight end coaches landing defensive line prospects. I think they recruit regions where they have local coaching contacts, rather than their specific position group.

6/13/2011 9:41:22 AM

Well he has played DB in HS, so I'm sure if WR doesn't work out he can be moved to DB.

6/13/2011 4:06:36 PM

Multi position players is TOB's thing

See e.g. Jimmy Sutton III (recruited as both WR and CB, on the '03-05 roster as WR, on the '06-07 roster as DB).

the best part about Jimmy Sutton III is that all of his siblings are named Jimmy Sutton I, II, III, IV, etc.

6/15/2011 2:42:29 PM

^^^ Bullet I think you missed your target

6/15/2011 7:30:02 PM

what about Jimmy Graham.

6/15/2011 7:31:28 PM

6/15/2011 7:59:59 PM

6/27/2011 3:16:04 PM

Picked up some commits today in Safety Majid Salahuddin and Wide Receiver Jalen McDaniel. Both attend Fayetteville's Jack Britt which gave us Everette Proctor.

^^^ hopefully bring along some of those ball of fire throwing towers when we besiege Kenan

So we actually got Jalen McDaniel? It's not been announced via any of the normal channels

[Edited on June 28, 2011 at 11:25 AM. Reason : ]

6/28/2011 11:25:17 AM

^ He committed without telling his parents, probably just a matter of them visiting and checking us out.

6/28/2011 11:50:04 AM

McDaniel's profile on Athlete Vault says 'committed to NC State'

http://www.athletevault.com/index.php?id=3739

plus the Fay. Observer article posted

6/28/2011 11:54:54 AM

2 more commits incoming, a QB and a TE...nice to see the recruiting ball finally get rolling.

6/28/2011 3:07:39 PM

wolfpacker just tweeted we got a QB AND a TE, premium only

6/28/2011 3:07:45 PM

QB Manny Stocker

TE David Grinnage

6/28/2011 3:17:51 PM

how many minutes before someone spills the beans?

10 apparently

6/28/2011 3:18:10 PM

TOB needs to hire a recruiter, and fast. IBTBLACKSANTA

6/28/2011 3:23:25 PM

Stocker doesn't have a scout, rivals, or espn page

6/28/2011 3:24:22 PM

Also, some site has McDaniels quoted as he did NOT commit. I've asked Sammy Batten to clarify/update officially.

6/28/2011 3:27:58 PM

Good picture of Stocker

6/28/2011 3:29:14 PM

Stocker is from Coatsville. PA?


[Edited on June 28, 2011 at 3:38 PM. Reason : oops. Grinnage is from Delware. So we already have 2 in this class from Deleware?]

6/28/2011 3:29:21 PM

yeah

6/28/2011 3:30:04 PM

I thought Grinnage was from Delware?

6/28/2011 3:31:25 PM

^ he is, Newark Delaware to be exact

Coatesville is about 30 min west of Philly

Stocker is 6'3" 200lbs, runs a 4.6 40 and had offers from Temple and Cincinnati as well as some other schools.

6/28/2011 3:41:24 PM

He's got an espn page. emmanuel Stocker.

He run the 4X100 on the track team too, apparently.

6/28/2011 3:44:12 PM

Manny Stocker

6/28/2011 3:52:39 PM

is this guy recruited as a QB or athlete?

6/28/2011 3:56:35 PM

He was offered as a QB.

6/28/2011 3:58:34 PM

it's nice to have a coach who recognizes the need for QBs

Amato didn't seem to care for recruiting them

6/28/2011 4:00:17 PM

Just realized Grinnage and Xavier Griffin are on the same team

6/28/2011 4:39:16 PM

David Grinnage, 6'5"ish, ~235 TE video:

6/28/2011 4:41:03 PM

I like the QB. He has good feet in the pocket and seems pretty solid all around. A few things aren't perfect but no big flaws in his game I can see. Should be a solid QB for TOB. He does pretty well there

6/28/2011 5:23:44 PM

Recent OG commit Eddie Gordon also plays HS basketball (@ 6'1", 320)
