I know it seems way too early for this but I figured this thread had to get underway eventually. Anyway, cornerback Justin Tranquil (who is listed as a safety/athlete by recruiting sites) had a shutdown performance at the Core 6 showcase in Cincinnati. Tranquil won defensive MVPs and reportedly shut down every receiver in attendance. The offensive MVP was Grant Weatherford who has no offers as a WR yet but is getting recruited for basketball. Joey Belden won lineman MVP and should get some large D1 offers as a DE.

It sounds like Dan Fadelli who is a walk on corner ( at the moment ) at California. Another corner of mention is Michael Little out of Sherman Oaks/Notre Dame in California. Some sites have him as a wr but he excels at both positions. Scout even has him listed as a 3 star corner. Of course he will wind up as a wr for some MAC team though his sophomore highlights are impressive on both sides of the ball though he is listed at only running a 4.7 forty. Which dosen't stop black guys like Troy Vincent junior who is going to Penn State this August as a corner. That 4.5 shuttle and eye popping 4.8 speed and 27 inch vertical really must have made the recruiters drool. Yikes.

It's never too early Vanilla_Sky! Keep us updated on young white talent! We appreciate your knowledge as well as others who know about up and coming white high school players. Thanks!

Along with RB Nick Raulston(TX)....Another RB (also listed as Athlete) Nathan Cottrell from Knoxville TN(5'-11" 180 4.4!) is generating some buzz on internet blogs...if it were not for his skin condition it would be a no-brainer for dwf's

WR-Trent Irwin(CA) 6-2" 190 has a promising future....Cal; Penn St & Colorado are just a few of his top offers.

Dual threat QB Jarett Stidham (TX) on every body's list from Alabama, Ohio St, Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma, etc...

O-Lineman Tyler Carr (AL) 6'-5" 316 looks like a grown man!

One of the Top LBers in the country Cameron Smith(CA) is an imposing figure at 6'-3" 240! USC, UCLA, Wisconsin are some of his top choices...even Louisville(where white have not been allowed to play D) has offered!

Defensive Tackle Jozie Milton (6'-2" 291)... from a small private school in Louisiana is generating more & more offers....Arkansas, Arizona State, Oklahoma St, West Virginia, Iowa State, TCU, & Texas Tech etc....South Carolina has also offered...but asked him to switch to Center...not sure if Milton is aware that Spurrier & the ****s do not allow white players on their defense?

One has to wonder if his home-state school LSU; less than 50 miles from home will ever offer?

Its just come to.my attention that the Badgers have received a commitment from a Florida speedster by the name of Andrew James. Word is hes been clocked in the 40 in the 4.3 range. Even better news is that he's listed as an athlete so he might end up at corner? Either way he will be a factor in the return game. He's got a slight build 5'10 160 but speed kills! Definitely a guy to keep an eye on, skill set similar to Ryan Switzer.

Also all 5 of Wiscos 2015 commitments are white. Decent class sofar looks like about half of 15 commits are white. Only bone I have to pick is that of the 15 commits only 2 are Wisconsin natives. Andersen seems hell bent on recruiting whole nation. Which isn't a bad thing but part of Wisconsins success since the Alvarez days has been keeping talent in state to build the program from within.

ESPN has him at 4.55, which is probably more accurate because they generally go by the Nike Combine test scores, which is a laser timed event. Still very fast for a high school junior at only 162lbs. and 5'11. He might go faster if he gets a little stronger in the buttocks and hamstrings, because he sounds a little skinny. Just my guess.

Good luck to him, I hope he does well at Wisconsin.

fastest time at that specific camp was a 4.52. I'll agree hes still skinny but has room to grow. Upside :)

Who will be the next Ryan Kerrigan, Connor Barwin, Clay Matthews, Paul Kruger or Kyler Fackrell?? Here are a few early candidates at Outside Linebacker for the Class of 15':

Porter Gustin (Salem Hills, Utah) 6'-5" 237 (4.67)...Highly recruited from Coast-to-Coast was ready to commit to BYU; however they are overcrowded at LB....USC now looks to be the leader.. Florida State; Notre Dame; Louisville, Ohio St have all offered...Wisconsin likes him at TE; LSU at QB
http://utahvalley360.com/2014/04/11/the-4-star-uscflorida-state-recruit-jilted-by-byu/

Chad Smith- Sterling VA...6'-4" 210 committed to Clemson...he is confident saying "he's one of the Best LB'ers in the Country

Brian Bell- Valdosta GA...6'-2" 218 Committed to Florida State... from powerhouse Lowndes HS, surprised bec usually puts out black players...
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1425903/highlights/91714381

Ben Humphries-Santa Ana CA..6'-3" 210 from powerhouse Mater Dei HS has offers from Nebraska, Miami, Arizona State, Wisconsin just to name a few...USC & UCLA will probably jump on board too...

DT Jozie Milton is going to South Carolina though considering their track record it can almost be assured that he will wind up playing on the o-line. Andrew Ivie will follow his brother's way and attend Florida. He will play DT. Amazingly Miami, yet the U, has two defensive line commits already in Ryan Fines and Scott Patchan.

Chad Smith who you mentioned, actually played a bit of RB in years past. I like the way Clemson is going with the 2015 class, they have commits currently from 3 white olineman, QB Tucker Israel, S/LB Tanner Muse, DT Gage Cervenka (3 time state champ wrestler) and TE Garrett Williams. Will be an exciting future.

Some WRs of note already...
Aforementioned Andrew James to Wisco
Trent Irwin down to Stanford and ASU
Flynn Nagel to Duke
Austin Aaron to Cal
Avery Johnson has Arkansas State and So. Miss offers
Colin Baker is going to San Jose State
Jake Breeland to Oregon
Andrew Force is close to a Penn State offer
Andrew Bellefontaine is rising
Alex Stump to Kentucky
Giovanni Ricci to Western Mich
Cade Erwin has an SMU offer and Texas Tech is close to offering
Jake Smeltzer has an Air Force offer

RB Ben Glines is committed to BC, though I'm not sure what position he will be playing.
Alex Grace has an offer from CMU.
Connor Slamka has an Army offer and is hearing from BC.
Bridger Cowdin has offers from Southern Utah, Montana, and Fresno State.

Nathan Cottrell is the most athletic running back I've seen in years. I think he could pick up a surprise SEC offer the same way Douglas did with UGA.

Labeled as an "Underdog"....Wide Receiver Trent Irwin took home the Wide Receiver MVP Award at the RIVALS100 FIVE-STAR CHALLENGE: TOP PERFORMERS this past weekend... over some much bigger names because he was very consistent and was a key performer for Team Highlight, who took home the 7-on-7 crown. Bottom line with Irwin -- if you put it in his area, he will bring it in as his catch radius is as big as anyone's.

Yesterday Irwin was erroneously listed as QB on scroll down menu...they updated it today to WR...hmmm

*not sure if you will be able to view this page?

Yeah disappointed about Jozie Milton committing to South Carolina as a Center instead of DT...No wonder the DT's numbers for white players are increasingly low over the past 15 years....

Thanks for the updates guys! DT is a position that should easily be half black/ half white percentage wise. One of my biggest pet peeves is when the talking heads and draft experts claim a fat sumo is a great "run stopper", when a lot of these fat asses are lucky to even get 50 tackles and more than 4 sacks in a season! Just how every black QB that comes out nowadays has a "rocket arm"..

Great news about Alex Grace as I read up more on him and he has run official sub 4.4 forties and has a personal best of 10.62 in the 100 meters.

In other news Nahan Cottrell who also has run a sub 4.4 ha committed to Georgia Tech. Just awesome.

Thanks for the info on Buirge Vanilla but I think they want him as a wr. Wyoming had a great find in Tanner Gentry and he was a GREAT high school corner but whites are rarely even given a chance at corner at the college level now let alone the NFL. I know Buirge has 4.4 speed but if he goes to Wyoming it will probably be as a wr. It sucks but such is the caste system.

I see your point but it's a win win for me if he ends up at either position!

In a way you are right but we need more white corners. Hundreds more in my opinion. I have been touting Colin Spencer from Kansas U. for 2 years now and someone on this site said he would make a great wr. He was a great corner in high school with the best physical stats of any skill position player in the history of the high school combine. So KU moves him to rb ( a position unfamiliar to him ) and now someone has gotten their wish. He is now a wr. Dag nab it. :whistle:

Wr's Jack Bailey to San Diego State, Charles Fessler to Northwestern and Sam Dobbs to Vanderbilt. Also Cash Conder to Western Michigan and in a weird one Kyle Belack to Marshall. When was the last time Marshall recruited any whites at any of the skill positions? Dobbs to Vanderbilt???? They have progressively gotten blacker and blacker since the days of Jarred Hawkins and Dan Stricker. Its refreshing to see teams that hystoricaly have not recruited whites do a 180.

An intriguing Defensive Back listed at 6'-3" 202 & running 4.32! by 24/7Sports ... Tanner Muse (Belmont NC) Committed to CLEMSON(nice addition with aforementioned OLB Chad Smith)....Rivals.com list him at 6'-4" 205....good baseball player...Hopefully Muse doesn't follow in the footsteps of ex HS All American DB Jeff Francoeur; who at 6'-3" & Committed to Clemson 10 years ago; but opted for MLB instead...maybe we see a faster Cooper Taylor?

Check out Muse's Junior Highlights here:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1882465-tanner-muse-commits-to-clemson-tigers-land-2015-4-star-db

DB Nico Fertitta from Las Vegas NV has committed to Notre Dame...at only 5'-10" 175 would seem he could play some CB.

Glad to see RB-Nathan Cottrell commit to Georgia Tech...my post above was not in vain.

WR Jamie Nunley 6'-3" committed to Arizona...the class of 15' in California is producing a lot of quality WR's...

Safety Zayne Anderson committed to Utah State

Safety/OLB Jack Hockaday committed to Iowa

Ath-Sutton Smith committed to Northern Illinois...would like to see him get a chance at RB; but might play DB

Dual-threat QB Alec Ingold (Green Bay WI) 6'-1" 215 Committed to Northern Illinois...looks to follow in the footsteps of Jordan Lynch

Looks like Dobbs is a TE...

Thanks for all the updates 22. The only person I have heard in that group is Sutton Smith. They want him as a free safety. I read it somewhere yesterday.

I had also not heard of Nico Fertita. I know he has to be the brother of Lorenzo Fertita who had an offer from UNLV for corner but opted to go to Villanova instead. Lorenzo was very shifty and agile. I hate to compare white corners to white corners but he was a Tony Cioffi clone who looks to start for Rutgers as a sophomore this season. Also as I mentioned in some old posts that the Fertita's father runs the UFC in Vegas I believe. Quite an impressive family.
