Recruiting update-its scary good!!!!!

Posted on October 31, 2008

Not a lot happening though the last few games have brought in a lot of visitors and a ton of interest in the program.  With 5 slots remaining to be filled it will be interesting how this class finishes.  In addition the recruiting for 2010 is in full swing and already interest from many of the top recruits in the nation.

2009

Slots needed to be filled are WR and CB and the remaining 3 will be to fill some gaps and add depth, very good depth.  Coaches appear to be looking at another OL, a TE who could possibly shift to DE and a few JUCOs at RB or DL.

The WR slot has been the trickiest though Josh Boyce could be the stud already committed.  It looks as though TCU no longer in the running for AJ Dugat though there is a slight possibility there.  Derrick Rainey is my pick to fill the slot and the QB from Northbrook is close to a decision.  The other options include Brownwood’s Parker Taylor, Chance Casey from Crosby or Evangel’s Quinn Giles.

At CB it looks to be down to Kerry Lewis of Lancaster with Desmond Gardiner of Port Arthur of Waco La Vega’s Chad Ward still in the picture.

The TE/DE position is very interesting and has some late comers being given some looks.  Jerod Monk the Wylie QB  gets an offer from the coaches and they are also looking at Trevor Eickman from Garland very closely.

At OL Brock Wempa of Royce Cityand big John Noble from Rockwall continue to be evaluated and think Noble gets the edge simply because he plays a mean piano and can team up with Reagan and CGP.

Things will most likely shake out differently than this and the last slot could be almost anyone, but looks still given to JUCO RB Lyndon Rowells, JUCO DE Jacob Lattimer at Hutchinson, RB Matthew Tucker at Tyler Chapel Hill and others.

This is a very interesting class and one of the best ever at TCU if it holds and would not be surprised if coaches pulled a shocker (in a good way) at the end.

2010

Have discussed previously several of the top prospects interested in TCU including the Joeckel brothers from Arlington: QB Matt Joeckel & OL Luke Joeckel, RBs Lache Seastrunk from Temple and Traylon Shead of Cayuga, all of which should be Texas Top 100 and several on National Top 100 lists.  However the interest from big names hasn’t stopped there and visits continue from some of the best in the country.  David Durham of Lake Travis Westlake is one of the best LBers in the state and in the country and recently had a great visit with the coaches.  At 6-3/230 with 4.7 speed the kid is a beast and plays everywhere from DT, DE or LB for Westlake.

Another top athlete in the state, Darrius “Poppa” Rodgers of the high flying attack at Edgewood is on the list as well as one of the best dual-threat QBs in the country, James Franklin of Lake Dallas.

It is almost unbelieeeevable the amount of interest there is in the TCU program and its coaches by the best of the young athletes out there today which definitely bodes well for the program for many years to come.  We all owe CGP and his staff a very special thanks.
