2014 Football Recruiting Master List
« on: November 20, 2013, 08:49:35 PM »
Similar to the basketball recruiting thread, I thought I would start a thread where we can recap the 2014 Verbal Commitments.

Lets keep the list here, with links to the individual threads to discuss each player.  Would rather not discuss players or overall recruiting here - lets keep this thread relatively clean so we can see a recap.  I will try best I can to keep it updated.

IAA Fan - can we pin this thread as well?  Thanks

Indy, can you modify your original post and add to it so it does not require searcing the thread for new additions?

Power - will figure out a way to highlight the new additions.  Probably add a new post to say what I am adding, then cut and paste the list in to the new post so its always on top.  Would that work?

Similar to : Adding PenguinPower and Ysuindy to list.  Here is the new updated list:

I updated the original thread to add those mentioned below - Stephens, L Washington, Sandidge and Pittman.  Still can't pin down the name of the Jireh Prep player - have an idea, but no way to confirm.

No one added at this time that hasn't been discussed before on this thread.

Jeff Rotheram, a 6-7 300 pound OT from North Olmstead has committed to YSU... Seems to have good bloodlines as his brother Matt is the starting RT at the University of Pittsburgh.

Add 6-2, 175 DB Kevin Wilson of Kathleen HS in Lakeland Florida

http://polkcountyfootball.com/?p=5913

Check out the link for a picture


Kathleen 2014 DB/QB Kevin Wilson took an official visit to Youngstown State on January 17. Here is what he had to say about his visit.

 

PCFB: Wilson, you narrowed down your choices of schools to Youngstown State. After you took your official visit did it reassure you that YSU is the place for you to continue your football career?

Kevin Wilson: “Yes.”

PCFB: How much did you know about the program and the city before you got there?

Kevin Wilson: “I really didn’t know that much. I just knew that it was a big football city.”

PCFB: How much did you learn about the program once you left?

Kevin Wilson: “I learned that they have a good business program and the coaches and professors really care about you.”

PCFB: Who was your guide during your visit?

Kevin Wilson: “A corner named Julius.”

PCFB: Tell us about some of the sites that you were able to see while on your visit?

Kevin Wilson: “The inside field, the new courtyard where some of the upperclassmen stay, and downtown was pretty nice.”

PCFB: Ohio can get pretty cold compared to the weather down in Florida. How was the weather during your visit and how will you get adjusted to it once you move there?

Kevin Wilson: “During my visit it was pretty cold and it was snowing which was my first time seeing snow which was real exciting, but I think I will be able to adjust.”

PCFB: What were some of the things that impressed you about the school?

Kevin Wilson: “What impressed me was how much the coaches and professors care about you.”

PCFB: How much of the coaching staff did you meet and what were your impressions of them?

Kevin Wilson: “I met the whole coaching staff and my impression was they really care about me inside and outside of football.”

PCFB: How did they say they plan to use you in their system once you get there?

Kevin Wilson: “They plan on using me at free safety and they are looking to play me right away.”

PCFB: Will you be taking anymore official visits or have you shut down your college recruitment process?

Kevin Wilson: “No more visits. I’m pretty solid to them.”

PCFB: What should the fans of YSU expect to see out of Kevin Wilson?

Kevin Wilson: “The fans should expect to see leadership, hardwork, and doing whatever to help the team win and get another championship back to YSU.”
