CFN Recruiting Rankings
1.
Pittsburgh

Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Defensive
linemen. T.J. Clemmings is a superior end prospect
with 6-6, 260-pound size and the potential to be
thrown into the mix right away, but he's hardly the
only good defensive lineman signed with tackle Aaron
Donald and end Bryan Murphy keeping the shelves
stocked. Across the board there isn't a lot of
sure-thing star power, but this is a diverse class
with several strong prospect; because of the sheer
numbers a few of these players will be better than
originally expected. The secondary could be just as
loaded as the line.

Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Receivers. West
Virginia? Wide Receivers? Bill Stewart came up with
several excellent, dangerous targets led by Ivan
McCartney out of Florida. The 6-1, 175-pound
playmaker spurned Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee to
come to Morgantown, but Deon Long might end up
playing earlier on. The Mountaineers also came up
with several good defensive back prospects starting
with safety Latwan Anderson, a flash of lightning
who hits like a ton of bricks and chose WVU over
Ohio State.
3.
Louisville

Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... The passing game.
New head man Charlie Strong brought in three
quarterbacks led by Dominique Brown, and they'll
have plenty of targets to work with. Six
wideouts signed on and they all fit a type with
decent size and tremendous speed. Michaelee Harris
out of Miami is the best of the group, but Stephan
Robinson could grow into a dangerous playmaker. The
defense has its star to build around in end B.J.
Butler, a speed rusher who could've gone to Alabama
or Florida.
4.
Rutgers

Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Defensive backs.
For the second year in a row, Greg Schiano wanted to
do whatever it took to upgrade the athleticism of
the defensive backfield. The competition should be
intense with big-time safety prospects Jordan
Thomas, Lorenzo Waters, and Jeremy Deering all big
and all fast, and corner Tejay Johnson an great
prospect with NFL measurables. 6-6 Brandon Coleman
should be the team's next star receiver, but the
focus of the offense is on the line with six
blockers signed.
5.
South
Florida |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Skill players.
Skip Holtz had roughly five minutes to work, but he
still kept most of the key players Jim Leavitt
originally pitched. Jamius Gunsby is a big, athletic
playmaker of a quarterback who'll get a few years to
develop, while Marcus Shaw and Tiger Powell are good
looking speed backs who could find roles early on if
JUCO transfer Michael Hayes and his 4.3 speed
doesn't take over the workload. Jamaal Mantague and
Deonte Welch might not be five-star receiver
prospects, but they're going to be good.
Defensively, JUCO transfer Claude Davis will be
asked to step in right away and fill a gaping hole
at one end, and top corner Terrence Mitchell will
get a chance to see time in the rotation.
6.
Cincinnati
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... RecReceivers. Butch
Jones had to try to keep Brian Kelly's recruits
coming to Cincinnati. Only three receivers were
signed, but they'll be the key to the class with
Dyjuan Lewis, a 6-2 target with 4.4 speed, the
likely No. 1 man in the near future. The line got
the most help for the defense with five prospects
signed and needing Josh Russ and Cameron Beard to
grow into roles on the end by 2013. Safety Arryn
Chenault is too good to not get an early look at
playing time.
7.
Connecticut
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... LinLinebackers. The
stars of the class might be quarterbacks Scott
McCummings and Ty-Meer Brown, and they'll have
dangerous receiver prospects to throw to in Tebucky
Jones and Geremy Davis, but the best aspect of the
class is at linebacker with Brandon Steg a
sure-thing All-Big East star for the inside and
Reuben Frank, Yawin Smallwood, and Josh Alexander
all defenders to get excited about.
8.
Syracuse
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Offense, offense,
offense. After loading up with a ton of defensive
back prospects last year, this year's massive class
brings in players to salvage something out of Doug
Marrone's offense. 17 offensive players were brought
in headlined by quarterbacks John Kinder and Jonny
Miller and six running backs. The D wasn't ignored
with linebackers Malcolm Carter and Myles Davis good
enough to see time early.
