?I'ma Bear,? Moore said. ?I just committed about 10 minutes ago. I really felt good about Cal on my visit and then I've been thinking a lot about it the last few days and it just felt like the best place for me. Cal has a great combination of academics ...
December, 22, 2011 Dec 2211:09AM ETEmail Print Comments By Craig HaubertMissouri had to sweat it out, but they were able to regain their biggest commitment. Evan Boehm (Lee's Summit, Mo./West), who had committed to the in-state Tigers over the summer but decided to open things back up this fall, has announced that he is back on board with Mizzou.
Boehm, the No. 1 rated guard in the 2012 class, is once again is a big pick-up for Missouri. The ESPNU 150 prospect is one of the most versatile lineman in this class. He projects to guard, but has experience at center and, if needed in a pinch, could step in and play tackle and be productive. So he not only gives you a quality player at one position, but can also offer good depth to your line.
A coach's son, he plays the game well exhibiting good technique for a prospect at his level as both a run and pass blocker. He displays good flexibility, balance, and agility and is able to come off the ball and quickly get into defenders and roll his hips and deliver a pop and knock them back. He also does a nice job of being able to get up to that second level and locate and get a hat on defenders on the move. He also displays good toughness and aggressiveness as a blocker.
We think the Under Armour All-American is once again an excellent pick-up for Mizzou as he addresses a need, is again a key in-state keep, and most importantly is a very good prospect.
December, 22, 2011 Dec 2210:58AM ETEmail Print Comments By Tom LuginbillIt is no surprise that new Washington State head coach Mike Leach gets right to work and the fact that it is an offensive weapon isn?t all that surprising either. Four-star wide receiver Alex Jackson (Culver City, Calif.), now the Cougars' top-rated commit, is an under-the-radar speed threat that can pressure a defense off the line of scrimmage with his rapid acceleration and ability to eat up cushion. In an offense where the slot receiver is asked to do a lot, Jackson is an ideal fit and hopefully for WSU fans is a sign of things to come.
December, 22, 2011 Dec 2210:53AM ETEmail Print Comments By Craig HaubertStanford, whose top 25 class is being built with prospects from all over the country, added a commitment from a four-star offensive lineman out of Minnesota Wednesday.
Nick Davidson (Eden Prairie, Minn.), the No. 3 rated player in the state, is an offensive tackle with good size and athleticism. A strong pass blocker he can set quickly, bend and slide his feet and is very good with his hands. He also possesses the tools be a very productive run blocker. He needs to work to keep his pads down, but the big man flashes good initial quickness and leg drive to be able to get into defenders and create running lanes and also displays some nastiness as a blocker.

December, 22, 2011 Dec 229:25AM ETEmail Print Comments Head coach Lane Kiffin has announced the signings of Norco (Calif.) High School outside linebacker Scott Starr and Santa Monica (Calif.)

Gerald was the nation's No. 2-rated junior college player and we look forward to him making an impact on our team over the next two years. Morgan's last-minute decision to change to USC was very critical to us because Nick Perry left early to go to the NFL. After an extremely productive two-year junior college career, he will raise the competition level on our defensive line."
