Rivals recruiting analyst Nick Krueger passes along that Alabama and Georgia are "aggressively pursuing" Clemson five-star 2018 verbal QB commit Trevor Lawrence.

Expect to hear plenty about Lawrence over the next year, as he has the upside to land as a consensus No. 1 recruit for 2018. While he committed to Clemson in mid-December, the matter is far from settled for the Tigers. Just last week, Nick Saban paid a visit to the five-star gunslinger. Also potentially playing into Lawrence's recruiting -- Clemson inked five-star QB Hunter Johnson (as well as four-star QB Chase Brice) on National Signing Day. Should Lawrence be looking for a more wide-open path to a starting gig, his commitment could wobble. Particularly if Johnson comes on strong in offseason practices.

Wow Saban going after a white QB again. I hope he decommits from Clemson as they have two big time QB recruits. I would rather him go to Bama since UGA has some really solid depth at the qb position as well.

I wanted to highlight again the many white kids that have the ability to play at the next level.

Draycen Hall- Plays RB for Higley High School in Arizona. He was the Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year! He rushed for 2,298 yards and had 3,908 All Purpose yards with 41TDS. Last track season he ran a 11.18 100M. He is smaller but definitely has the speed and quickness to play at the next level. He currently has no offers. http://www.hudl.com/profile/2967998/draycen-hall

Max Borghi- Plays RB and WR for Pomona High School in Colorado. They were State Runner Ups. He took 2nd in the State in the 100M as a Sophomore and ran a best 10.8 time last season. He is explosive and super athletic. He currently holds offers from Central Michigan and Colorado State. http://www.hudl.com/profile/4724429/max-borghi

Dusty Frampton- Plays RB for St Mary's High School in Stockton California. He rushed for 2,345 yards and 42TDS. St. Marys was ranked as the 25th best team in the country according to maxpreps. He has a sparq score of 122.88 and ran a 4.59 40. He has good size and speed. He currently has no offers. http://www.hudl.com/profile/4588663/dusty-frampton

Ray Robinson- Plays WR and S for Highlands Ranch High School in Colorado. He was already mentioned in this thread as he committed to Colorado. http://www.hudl.com/profile/4074854/ray-robinson

Welcome to the board dolphin. I like that other people take time to find other players I don't it's just that this has all been done many times over and despite the #'s we find that have similar stats, they are just going to have to walk on or go D2 or D3. Thus the caste system. I can name hundreds of Gatorade players of the year over the last decade at the skill positions that never got an offer and a lot from football states.
I hyped a rb for Wisconsin U. named Troy Laufenburg. He is still on the team and is really fast and elusive just not very big but he was Wisconsin's GPOY and still had to walk on. Just one example.

What the hell?????? Apparently Boston College has offered a corner in New Jersey Power House , Don Bosco Prep's Kevin Brennan. I know nothing about him but for a white corner to get an offer this early let alone ever get an offer is something to behold. BC offered a white/French Canadian 3 years ago prepping in Connecticut by the name of Alex Huard but he never took the offer and vanished. Probably playing in the Canadian college system I assume.

Trey Quinn ability with quicker feet with a touch of Julio Jones in him at this rate. He can only get better. This kid looks real real good at this point in his early football career.

The assumption would be Gunner Gentry is probably the younger brother of Tanner Gentry who was also from Colorado and played wr at Wyoming. Good finds though. Colton Beck if he really ran a 10.59 100 meters is someone I will keep my eyes on.

Colorado offers RB. Rivals still lists him as a "Running Back", but as you can see from the title of this article, they are already trying to convince their readers that he's just another generic White "athlete".

Awesome very familiar with Arvada suburb of Denver 90% white. Borghi is another one to watch! I'd like to see Wyoming offer next!

You can also throw in the DE that just committed to them.

Yup another STUD! 56tkls 15sks in The Cheese State's biggest division this past season. He's the 1st cousin of Badger LG Jon Dietzen.

Badgers also have in state CB/FS Trent Ingalls committed and a QB from Illinois in Ben Bryant . 5 of 6 pale faces in their '18 class so far if I'm not mistaken!
