QB Recruiting Update

The QB recruiting process plays on although it is still in its early stages.  We’re just starting combine season and the Elite 11 camps have begun as well.  There haven’t been any major developments this week but I thought I’d give a little update on the QB’s.

The Recruits
Zeke Pike (KY) BX offers ILL, IND, IOWA, MICH, PSU, PUR and WIS.  Other offers include Alabama, Auburn, USC, Florida, FSU, LSU, Ark, BC, Cin, Clem, UK, Ville, UNC, Okie Lite, Pitt, SCAR, Syra, Tennessee, aTm, TT, UCLA, Virg and WV.  He’s totally open and wants to cut his list to around 10 sometime after basketball season is over.  He has already committed to play in the Army All-American game.
Gunner Kiel (IN) BX offers from ILL, IND, IOWA, MICH, MSU, PUR and WIS.  Other offers include USC, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Georgia, Tennessee, TCU, Colo, Cin and Mizzou .  Have a feeling he’ll go helmet schooling and his brother is up for the starting QB gig at Indiana so I’d guess that he won’t want to supplant his brother so Indy is out.
Jameis Winston (AL) BX offers from tOSU and NEB.  Other offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, FSU, LSU, ND, Clemson, Bay, Da U, Miss, Miss St, SCAR and Stanford.  Rivals 250 guy might decide to pursue baseball over his plethora of offers.
Matt Davis (TX) BX offer from Iowa, Pur.  Other offers from Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M, Clemson, Ariz, Ark, Bay, ISU, Okie Lite, Pitt, TCU, Utah and Tulsa.  Rivals 250 guy and December grad is looking at a wide variety of programs but I wouldn’t expect his decision to be a BX school.
Bennie Coney (FL) BX offers from MICH and MSU.  Other offers from Auburn, FSU, LSU, Aub, VT, TT, BC, SFU and Cin.  Slightly favoring FSU, ND, LSU and Cin right now. 
Maty Mauk (OH) BX offers from ILL and MICH.  Other offers from ND, Mizzou, Cincinnati and a handful of MAC schools.  Rivals 250 to watch guy, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this be a ND-Mich battle.
Wes Lunt (IL) BX offers from ILL and MSU.  Other offers from BC, SMU and Western Michigan.  Rivals 250 to watch guy that I’d look to stay closer to home so ILL would be close but Wisconsin would be the favorite if they decide to offer.
Shane Dillon (CA) offers from tOSU and Cincinnati.  Could be close to getting an offer from USC so more offers are surely to come once things start shaking out.
Cyler Miles (CO) Offers from ILL, ND, Washington, Ark, Pitt, Utah, ASU, Baylor, Colo and Vanderbilt.  Rivals 250 guy, and I’d keep an eye on ILL, Wash and Colo.
Tyler Cameron (FL) Offers from ILL, Louisville, Rutgers, BC, USF, FAU and Marshall.  Rivals 250 guy and will be a December grad.  He doesn’t have a lack of confidence in himself and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him take a good look at Rutgers.
Devin Fuller (NJ) Offers from MICH, PSU, IND, Alabama, FSU, TCU, GT, Rutgers and Maryland.  Rivals 250 guy is still fielding offers and will sort things out later.
Demitrious Davis (OH) Offers from Iowa, IND, Arkansas, WV, Baylor, Vandy, BC, Cin, Colo, SMU and Cincinnati.  He’s a smaller guy who may not be a QB at the next level.  Wide open at this point.
Aloyis Gray (IN) Offers from ILL, PUR and Cincinnati.  My initial guess would be Purdue.
Gunnar Holcombe (FL) Offers from WIS, Rutgers and SFU.  Wisconsin is the early leader.
Robert Gregory (IL) Offers from ILL and MN.  He’s likely to get more offers once other guys start eliminating schools from their list.
Patrick Towles (KY) Offers from Louisville, UK, ILL, Vandy  and Cincinnati.  My money is on the home state UK right now.
Tyler O’Connor (OH) Offers from MSU, NW, WV, Toledo, MiamiOH and Bowling Green.  Seems to like MSU coming out of the gate, although WV’s new offense may be something to spark some interest.

Off The Board
Connor Brewer - Tejas
David Thompson – Da U
Gray Crow – Da U
Justin Thomas – Bama
Skyler Mornhinweg - Stanford
Tyler Matthews - TCU
Austin Aune - TCU
Trevor Knight - aTm
TJ Millweard - VT
Zach Cline – Cal
Philip Nelson - Minnesota
Grant Rohach – Iowa State
Tavarius Bender – KSU
Walker Van Hooser – Tulane

Random Notes         
It sounds like MSU will be bringing in two QB’s this cycle.
Bart Houston (CA) BX offer from WIS.  Other offers from UCLA, Arizona, Colorado and San Diego St.  Rivals 250 guy still trying to start things out.
