Here are our third "tier" of players ranked from 21-30.
This is where you'll find a lot of offensive prospects - which includes several QB's that we are going to follow very closely in 2010.

Our Second Ten....
Here is our second Top-10 (call it our second tier on our board) from 11-20.
As you look at our second tier, take note of the fact that we have three offensive lineman that we really like. It's kinda of unheard of to have this many lineman that we like early that are highly rated.
Tonight, we'll post our third tier of players..

Updated Top-10 For Class of 2011
Here is our first top-10 list of college prospects for the class of 2011. Our "second 10" from 11-20 will be up tomorrow.
The two prospects that I think will blow up during the early evaluation period are Kelsey Young of Norco and Taj Teague of Pomona. Young is from a great stable of running backs at Norco and Teague looks the part of film and on paper.
We always have a kid that is a nominally with us and this year that kid is Wilson of Corona. I've said that he is this year's version of George Uko. Takes plays off, but when the light flips on, he can be a great player. He does have an offer from Colorado following their summer camp last summer, but I will be very interested to see how it goes.

Derrick Brown - Could the Wildcat be in his future?
As we begin the 2011 recruiting cycle, I've been asked more than a few times about Vista Murrieta quarterback Derrick Brown.
Well, after simmering about this for the past couple of weeks, I have come to the conclusion about this kid that he is only fit for one offense... the Wildcat.
We watched nine games on this prospect last season, and there are some compelling evidence to think he can make it to the next level. Among those factors are:
1) Size
2) Toughness
But, when it comes to the position of quarterback, you need more than that. You need to throw the ball really well and be consistent with it. With Brown, you don't get that. He misses receivers in the short to intermediate zone consistently and his ball seems to be going all over the place. Plus, we question whether he can throw the deep ball with any accuracy.
But, he is really tough to tackle, can get the tough yards and manages a great game. But, to be successful at the next level, you need to really good at the HS and he is clearly not there yet.
So will a college spend a scholarship on a kid that is a "Wildcat" offensive QB. Time will tell. But, he is one heck of a punter!

WAC Recruiting for Class of 2010 in IE....
And finally - here is how the WAC is shaping up in the IE....
You can bet that there is some information not being reported. We will stay on it as much as possible.
As you would expect, Fresno State has to be considered the team that has done well in the area. The kids that they wanted they either got...or lost to the Pac-10. Losing the recruiting battle for Scott of Colony had to hurt - but they finished very strongly.
Nevada Reno also did pretty well - winning some battles - and losing some too! But, in this conference, you have to take your shots.
New Mexico State was choosy with their offers and came up a bit short. Yeah getting Darian Johnson was huge, but I thought they could have competed a lot better for some other players.
San Jose State was another school that finished very well with their kids that they offered late. If they get either Fafita or Dash, I think you can consider 2010 a success.
Hawaii came up strong. And for the first time that I can remember neither Idaho or Boise St. will sign a player in the area. Don't look for that to last long next year.

Mountain West Conference Recuiting 2010 in the IE
OK... so you have a look at the Pac-10. Now let's go into the Mountain West Conference and see the breakdown.
One other item we added. Players in yellow are prospects that have given a verbal to a BCS conference school.
The big winner. No question. Utah! They offered a total of 132 players - 42 in California - and got verbals from four players. They only player that they didn't get a commit from is Keith Smith of Charter Oak HS (and since he verballed to San Jose St. you can assume that Utah dropped the offer). They lost some players to the Pac-10, but they got what they wanted. Clearly the USC of the Mountain West Conference.
The big loser. Easily it's Colorado St. Not only did they lose players to the Pac-10, but they lost some players to their conference rivals. Even if they get a verbal from Dancy at Mt. SAC, they clearly didn't do as good a job as they can. 2011 becomes a pivotal year.
The school with the biggest unknown factor. San Diego State. They offered a mind numbing 95 players in the state of California and - as of right now - have 28 verbals. So, you can easily say that they are at the limit for their class. And they have verbals from unknown players like Beavers of Banning and Quinley of Granite Hills. The headliner is Muema of Charter Oak. We'll see what happens.

IE Recruiting in the Pac-10 for Class of 2010...
People always ask me how a college recruits and how many offers they throw out there when you are in the zenith of the recruiting season in the spring. Well, I put together a chart how many players were offered by the school nationally, in the state of California and in the Inland Empire/San Gabriel Valley. What you might see will astound you.
The players in bold are the committed players while the italized players are the un-committed players.
So what does this show? That not all schools are on the same players... and that some schools are real choosy with their offers and some are not.
For instance, it interesting to note that the Oregon schools were the only one's not to offer Shirley (along with Cal). It's also interesting to note that Oregon State was the only Pac-10 school not to offer Don Lugo DE George Uko.
As for the leader in throwing out offers... Stanford leads the way with 228. But, its really interesting to note that Washington lead all Pac-10 schools with the number of offers to kids in the state of California with 79. And Arizona led all Pac-10 schools by offers 12 players in the Inland Empire.
Usually, if a schools gets two players from an area, it's considered a good job.
Well look at USC. They led the conference with fewest offers thrown out throughout the country with 69, second fewest offers in California with 28 (Stanford only had 27) but the hit rate in the IE is remarkable in 2010. They offered six players in the IE, got four commitments and are in line to get a fifth with Shirley. The power of SC really hits home when you look at a chart like this.
Also, interesting to note Oregon State has the view recruiting in the IE as a bit of a disappointment. It can be argued that they got the kicker from Centennial in Romiane and a undervalued DB in Donnell Welch from Palm Desert. But the three other players that they offered, they lost in heated recruiting battles to Washington, Oregon and Arizona State.
California and Stanford also have to view recruiting in the area as a bit of a disappointment too.
And - as you would expect - Washington State cuts from a different cloth in recruiting. The only player that they offered that was a multiple Pac-10 offer kid was Derrick Malone of Colton. Everyone else were players that we're not offered at all or were offered by Mountain West Conference or WAC schools.
On Tuesday, we'll look at the Mountain West Conference.
