Early Verbal Commitments of 2009
In my opinion, it is a little too early to start thinking about 2009 recruiting, at least in terms of commitment. However, I was browsing the list of Rival’s Top 100, and I was surprised at how many players have already given strong verbal commitments. From the top 25 along, we have:
1. Matt Barkley, QB, USC
3. Cierre Wood, RB, Notre Dame
4. Russell Shapard, QB, LSU
8. Jacobbi McDaniel, DT, Florida State
9. Bryce Brown, RB, Miami
11. Vontaze Burfict, LB, USC
12. Donte Moss, DE, North Carolina
14. Patrick Hall, ATH, USC
15. Garrett Gilbert, QB, Texas
16. William Campbell, DT, Michigan
19. Randall Carroll, WR, USC
21. Craig Loston, DB, Clemson
23. Dorian Bell, LB, Ohio State
That’s a high thirteen players already committing to certain schools - four to USC alone! Of course, the top 25 list is bound to change with the 2008 season, and many of these players will drop their commitments, but I guess I was just surprised to see so many guys choosing schools so early. I didn’t pick a college until October of my senior year, and I wasn’t even consider sports!
