2012 Recruit Roundup: November 13, 2011
Blech. That sums up how I am feeling today after yesterday's patented gut-wrenching loss by the Broncos, but as some overly-optimistic jerk once said, "the show must go on". Today, we'll continue our look into the Broncos class of 2012 to see how our verbal commits are doing. Some had their seasons end a week ago and some are still alive in the playoffs. If you don't see a familiar name here, it's because their season has already ended—don't panic. Oh...and blame CableOne for the late entry tonight...their service was on-and-off all day.
Join me after the jump for stats galore to see how our soon-to-be Broncos are doing in their collective senior seasons.
Jack Fields, RB, Americas High (El Paso, TX)
Fields' stellar season ended on Friday night as Americas was bounced from the playoffs by Amarillo 35-21. In typical Fields fashion, however, he went out with a bang—rushing the ball 32 times for 186 yards and 2 scores. Fields finished his season with 2,442 rushing yards and 25 TDs (26, if you count receiving). A monster year for a big-time recruit...we can't wait to see Jack on the blue.
Shane Rhodes, WR, Klein Collins High School (TX)
Klein Collins also saw their season end on Friday night after a first-round playoff exit at the hands of Woodlands. Rhodes had 8 catches for 201 yards and 2 TDs in the loss and the Tigers finished their year 8-3. Rhodes had an amazing individual season for the Tigers, catching 61 passes for 1,057 yards and 11 TDs and rushed for 297 yards and 8 TDs.
Donte Deayon, CB, Summit High School (CA)
The Skyhawks won the league championship on Friday night by defeating Kaiser 21-7 and finishing their regular season 9-1. Full game stats were not available, but we do know that Deayon had at least one receiving TD in the game. Prior to the contest, Kaiser had won 10 consecutive league titles, so the victory was quite significant. The state brackets will be released later today.
Chaz Anderson, CB, Loyola High School (CA)
Loyola defeated Crespi 36-35 in OT to secure a playoff spot and 2nd place in the Serra League. The below video comes from ESPNLA.com and features a brief interview with Anderson, as well as a TD grab by Anderson (#6):
Christopher Santini, N, Leland High School (CA)
Leland finished their regular season on Friday evening with a win over Piedmont Hills and will take a 9-1 record into the playoffs. Maybe more importantly for Leland was the return of Santini, who had been out for 3 games with injuries sustained in a hit-and-run bicycle accident. Santini looked crisp in his return, rushing for 118 yards and making 12 tackles. Santini finished his regular season with 1,180 all-purpose yards (716 rushing, 115 receiving, and 349 on kickoff returns) and 15 TDs. On the defensive side of the ball, Santini finished the regular season with 80 tackles, 3 sacks, and a blocked field goal.
Chanceller James, S, Steele Canyon (CA)
Steele Canyon lost the Grossmont Hills title to Helix on Friday evening to finish their regular season 7-3. Steele Canyon will play Scripps Ranch next Friday night in the first round of the playoffs.
Nick Patti, QB, Dr. Phillips High School (FL)
Patti and the Panthers had a week off to rest for their playoff matchup with Tampa Wharton this Friday. We'll get you the stats from that matchup once it's in the books.
Andrew Pint, LB, Valor Christian (CO)
Valor Christian's winning ways continued into the first round of the playoffs as they knocked off Pueblo West 56-0. Pint had 11 tackles in the contest and his VC squad is now 11-0 on the year. Pint has 61 tackles on the year and 2 PBUs.
Armand Nance, TE/FB, Dekaney High School (TX)
Dekaney finished their regular season 9-2 after a win over College Park on Saturday. No stats were made available for the game and Dekaney will play Pflugerville next weekend to open the playoffs.
Travis Averill, OL, Servite High School (CA)
Servite finished their regular season with a 43-42 win over Santa Margarita and will end their regular season at 9-1 and 5-0 in league play. The Friars will be the top-seed in the playoffs when they begin next week.
Steven Baggett, OL, Martin High School (TX)
Martin defeated Midland 37-7 on Thursday to finish their regular season at 10-1. Martin rushed for 346 yards in the contest behind the strong blocking of Baggett and the Warrior O-line. The Warriors advance to next week's area round of the playoffs and will play
DJ Dean, Safety/WR, Eagle High School (ID)
Eagle will play in the State Final after defeating Highland 42-21 in the semifinals on Friday night. No stats for Dean were found. The Mustangs will go up against an 11-0 Coeur d'Alene squad next weekend that features QB Chad Chalich—a QB recently offered a preferred walk-on spot with the Broncos.
That's it for this week...if you have any stats, info, or otherwise to report, I would greatly appreciate it. Just send HERE.

It would be awesome to be kept abreast...
of individual accolades once the season ends and overall stats.
Also, it would be great to be able to welcome these fine young gentlemen to Boise State somehow…

Come on....
Just because they are local means nothing. The only thing we need to look at is the fact that the coaches want them on the team. That is all I need. By the way I love the fact we get small town players and local players. After all they are Blue, just like we all are.

huh? No matter the position, our local guys play with heart, skill, and athleticism.
you aren’t seriously putting down our local recruits, are you? Mitch Burroughs? Dallas Burroughs? Nate Potter? Spencer Gerke? Kyle Efaw? Kyle Sosnowski? Jarrell Root? TYLER SHOEMAKER???
Surely you have an explanation for your statement.

Its great to have local talent..
But Go out and try and get the next Titus Young or Austin Pettis. Boise st can’t pass up on guys like Dallas Burroughs with great speed or Nate Potter with good size or tight ends that can develop or Byron Hout from Idaho. But Three local walk ons had three game changing plays on Saturday. Two fumbles and a missed field goal. Kids from California Texas and Florida are at a different level. Boise st needs to keep trying to get guys from there and also grabbing every true division 1 top 25 program quality guy from Idaho too.

I don't know...I see your point, but I disagree on the approach. Egalitarian over elitism, imo.
Seems to me talent is where you find it and coach it to greater strengths. Just because “elite” schools tap CA, TX, FL doesn’t mean that is where all the sticky fingers are found. I think BSU’s winning record (even With our recent loss) speaks for itself. The trick is in Recruiting Quality, not rooting around the country at the expense of over-looking our local guys. They should not be excluded because they are local (and I know you did not use the word excluded). They should be tested to perform just like a kid from Mission Viejo.

Love our local kids, but I think you nailed this one. IMO.

Maybe I am missing something here....
One pass over 40 yards this year. Is that right? If so, it needs to be adressed.

Are you kidding….Look at Matt Miller….with 3 games to go, he has already set the freshmen record for receptions previously held by…..wait for it…..Austin Pettis. Our other local WR Tyler Shuemaker is probably going to set the TD record this year too. As long as coaches continue to develop our receivers and we continue to hav QB’s that can get them the ball, we are going to be fine at the WR position.
And he was the player of the year in Montana..
and got attention from SEC schools, an obvious guy for Boise St to go after.
BSC SHOW SUNDAY NIGHT
I WRITE IN CAPS, BECAUSE MY EYESIGHT IS NOT GOOD, AND I CAN’T SEE WHAT I WRITE, OTHERWIS. SORRY!
DID ANY OF YOU CATCH THE SATEMENT MADE BY REECE DAVIS ON THE (BULL****CONFERENCE) SHOW?
“NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS BOISE STATE MESS OUT OF THE WAY, WE CAN GET DOWN TO THE REAL BCS BUSINESS”
I HAVE AN EMAIL THAT I SENT TO THE PRESIDENT OF ESPN, WITH A COPY TO KIRK HERBSTREIT ABOUT IT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PUT ON HERE. HOW DO I DO THAT?
I WANT EVERYONE IN BRONCO NATION TO SEE WHAT I WROTE, SO THEY CAN WRITE LETTERS TO, AND MAYBE WE CAN GET THAT *******FIRED!
SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO PUT AN EMAIL ON HERE. I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY WHAT AI SAID ABOUT DAVIS, THE LEFT STREAM MEDIA, THE NCAA, AND THE WHOLE CONSPIRACY ISSUE!
I STARTED PLAYING THE GAME IN 1951 WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. SO I HAVE BEEN AROUND A LOCKER ROOM, OR THREE, AND I COACHED FOR OER 50 YEARS, SO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE GAME, AND I WHAT I SEE IN THE NCAA, AND THE BSC CONFERENCE!!!
THE GAME
I FORGOT! I GO BY GRIZZLED OLD COACH!!!
QUARTER BACKS` AND OTHER GROWSING OF A GRIZZLED OLD COACH.
I HAVE TALKED TO A SPORTS REPORTER IN FLORIDA AABOUT NICK PATTI. HE SAYS PATTI IS A LINDBACKER IN A QB’S BODY! HE LOVES TO HIT, CAN RUN LIKE A CHEETAH, AND HAS AN ARM LIKE A GORILLA. SOUND LIKE A GOOD FIT FOR BSU!
KELLENS WIN MARK MAY ONLY STAND FOUR YEARS, IF PATTI GETS TO START NEXT YEAR. HE WAS ONE OF THE ELIETE ELEVEN QB’S THAT KELLEN WAS WORKING WITH OVER THE SUMMER. CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HIM IN ACTION. MY SOURCETELLS ME BRONCO NATION IS GOING TO LOVE HIM! AND WE STOLE HIM RIGHT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF ALL THOSE BSC CONFERENCE TEAMS.
A QB NAMED MAGNUM! NOW THAT OPENS UP A BOX OF BULLETS! WHAT DO WE CALL HIM? MAG 44, MAG 500, MAGNUM LOADED HE COULD HAVE ALL SORTS OF NICK NAMES!
MATT MILLER, IS REALLY SOMETHING., AS IS SHOEMAKER! MATT STILL HAS THREE YEARS LEFT. HE COULD BREAK PETTIS AND YOUNG’S RECORDS BEFORE HE IS THROUGH.
AS I SAID, I HAVE BEEN AROUND THE GAME SINCE 1951. I HAVE WATCHED SOME GOOD ONES COME AND GO, BUT KELLEN IS THE BEST QB, WITHOUT A DOUBT, IN MY MIND!!
NOW, IF WE COULD ONLY GET A RELIABLE KICKER!! IF I WAS COACH PETE, I WOULD START TRYING OUT SOCCER PLAYERS! IT WORKED FOR ME. I GOT AN EIGHTH GRADER WHO WAS A SOCCER PLAYER, AND HE KICKED IT 75 YARDS, EVERY TIME. TOO BAD HE DISN’T GET TO GO TO COLLEGE. HE HAD A MULES HOOF FOR A FOOT, IF YOU EVER SAW THE MOVIE!!
ONE OTHER NOTE, DREW WRIGHT!! HE MAY HAVE FUMBLED SATURDAY, BUT HE WILL MAKE UP FOR THAT, MANY TIMES OVER, OVER THE NEXT WOUR YEARS!!!
THE BULL**** CONFERENCE SHOW SUNDAY NIGHT
I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU WATCHED THE BULL**** SHOW SUNDAY, AND IF YOU DID, WHETHER YOU CAUGHT THE STUPID REMARK REECE DAVIS MADE AT THE START.
I QUOTE
" NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS BOISE STATE MESS OUT OF THE WAY, WE CAN GET DOWN TO THE REAL BCS BUSINESS"
I WENT STRAIGHT UP SIDEWAYS, BEING A GRIZZLED OLD COACH AND REFEREE!
AFTER THE SHOW, I CAME TO MY COMPUTER AND SAT DOWN AND COMPOSED A LETTER TO ESPN PRESIDENT BODENHEIMER, (gbodenheimer@espn.com)
THIS IS THE CONTENT OF THAT LETTER!
PRESIDENT BODENHEIMER,
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU WATCHED THE SHOW (BCS) LAST NIGHT, BUT I DID AND I AM VERY OFFENDED WITH REECE DAVIS’ REMARK CONCERNING BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY. HE SAID, AND I QUOTE, " NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS BOISE STATE MESS OUT OF THE WAY, WE CAN GET DOWN TO THE REAL MCS BUSINESS."
NOW I AM A DYED IN THE WOOL BLUE ORANGE NUT, BUT EVEN IF I WASN’T, THAT REMARK IS UNCALLED FOR ON ANY NETWORKSHOW, ANY TIME, LET ALONE IN PRIME TIME ON SUNDAY EVENING!
I DIDN’T REALIZE, UNTIL HE MADE THAT STATEMENT, HOW DEEP THE HATRED OF BOISE STATE IS, AMONG THE NETWORKS. I AM AWARE OF THE HATRED THAT THE NCAA, THE BCS, AND THE AQ CONFERENCES HAVE FOR BOISE STATE, BECAUSE WE DARE TO BUST IN ON THEIR PARTY. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD LITTLE BOYS AND STAY ON OUR SIDE OF THE TRACKS! I MEAN IT EXACTLY AS IT SOUNDS!
IT WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR, DEMEANING, DENIGRATING, CHILDISH, JUVENILE AND WATEVER OTHER VERB OR ADVERB YOU CAN THINK OF.
I BELIEVE DAVIS SHOULD BE FIRED, FOR DARING TO MAKE A COMMENT LIKE THAT O9N A PRIMTIME SHOW, AND, BARING THAT, AN ON AIR APOLOGY, AND A WRITTEN APOLOGY TO PRESIDENT KUSTRA, COACH PETERSEN, THE BOISE STATE PLAYERS, AND WE THE FANS.
I WILL TELL YOU THIS MUCH, I AVOID ALL OF THE LEFT STREAM MEDIA BECAUSE OF THEIR INFATUATION WITH OBAMA> i NEVER WATCH A SHOW ON THE LEFT STREAM NETWORKS, CBS, NBS, ABC, CNBC, OR CNN. I KNWO HUNDREDS LIKE ME RIGHT HERE IN THE TREASURE VALLEY THAT ALSO REFUSE TO WATCH THESE NETWORKS FOR THE SAME REASON! THEIR BISA AND PREDJUDICE IS SO THINK YOU COULD CUT IT WITH A KNIFE. I DON’T EVEN WATCH THE LOCAL AFFILIATES OF THESE NETWORKS. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT WATCH ESPN FOR THE SAME REASON.
I EXPECT AN ANSWER TO THIS LETTER AND THERE ARE A LOT OF FANS IN BRONCO NATION! WHO SAW THE SHOW, AND I HOPE THER ARE TAKING THE SAME ACTION I AM!
I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR THE CAPS, BECAUSE IF WE WERE FACE TO FACE YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR ME ALL OVER YOUR BUILDING.
I AM A GRIZZLED OLD COACH WHO WAS USED TO YEALLING TO HIS PLAERS, ALL OVER THE FIELD, ADN THEY NEVER HAD A PROBLEM HEARING ME!
THEN I SIGNED IT! I AM PUTTING THIS OUT TO BRONCO NATION SO THAT ALL OF YOU CAN WRITE TO THIS IDIOT. I ALSO INCLUDED A COPY TO KIRK HERBSTREIT, WHOSE EYEBROWS RAISED WHEN DAVIS MADE THE REMARK!!
GO TO WORK BRONCO NATION LET ESPN KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!!!
LARRY PUCKETT
RETIRED COACH AND REFEREE
