Spring Game/Junior Day and other visitors

[McLeansvilleAppFan]

He is in school now.

Graduated iHS n Dec I assume or was he at some prep school in a holding pattern for a semester so he could get to Boone in time for spring practice? I was wondering how a true freshman would be on campus for spring pressure. I thought he may have enrolled in Jan in some manner.

Caruso graduated high school in December. He is enrolled in school and taking a full class load right now, as are the others that enrolled in January (Edge-Campbell (High School), Stringer (High School), Howard (High School), and Ford (JUCO)).

What does Kam have around the outside of uniform. Looks like something to measure forces if he is hit?

Add another.

OG/C Zach Mayo (6' 3" 275) of Mount Pleasant High School in Mount Pleasant, NC

These are coming in bits and pieces. After the Jr Day tomorrow I'll put everyone I know of in one listing.

And two more

TE Collin Reed (6' 3" 205) of Boiling Springs High School in Boiling Springs, SC (not NC)
OLB Joshua Amanfo (6' 0" 200) of Stockbridge High School in Stockbridge, GA

I need a break.
This is almost as bad as signing day.

Add three more

QB Jordan Lane (6' 3" 190) of Victory Christian Center School in Charlotte, NC
WR Greg Ellis (6' 0" 160) of Gaffney High School in Gaffney, SC

Greg Milhouse was on the sidelines today

I heard that Millhouse rejoined the team today.

That would certainly help the DLine.

I thought it was a done deal he was going to play for Cambell. If he back that's great, but I hope he is now 100 percent sure APP is where he wants to be, we don't need him changing his mind every 6 months.

Had looked forward to finally seeing Taylor Lamb throwing around the pigskin.
Hate he was injured last week.

Fairly impressed with Caruso, but that's a lot of information for him to come
in and absorb so fast. Moved to his left a lot, never remember him going the
other way.

Junior Day is about to start (12:00 pm). I have five more names to add. I expect there will be more after it's over saying they were here and we'll see some more offers go out. I'll keep posting as many as I see.

OL Dawson Ellis (6' 4" 280) of East Coweta High School in Shapsburg, GA
DB Cedarius Rookard (6' 2" 190) of Spartanburg High School in Spartanburg, SC
WR/DB Quinton Phillips (6' 3" 175) of Westside High School in Augusta, GA
WR Deshawn Davis (5' 9" 155) of Chapman High School in Inman, SC
ILB/MLB Josh Weisberg (6' 3" 225 ) of Chattahoochee High School in Alpharetta, GA

[firemoose]

Next:

RB/WR Mechane Slade (5' 9" 165) of Roswell High School in Roswell, GA

[firemoose]

Also:

LB Julian Williams (5' 11" 175) Millbrook High School in Raleigh, NC
LB Donovan Egerton (6' 1" 195) of Millbrook High School in Raleigh, NC

I just noticed that Anthony Covington is not listed on our roster. What did I miss? He was 3 star guy, recruited by ACC and maybe SEC schools.

Be glad this guy is gone. He is around my apartment complex frequently and that kid is not the type of player we want here at App. Wish him the best but I'm glad he's no longer with us and that's all that I'll say...

5 more including a 2016 recruit.

RB Isaiah Hill (6’ 1” 205) of Byrnes High School in Duncan, SC
QB Ward Coleman (6’ 3” 205) of New Hanover High School in Wilmington, NC
WR Malik Bledsoe (6’ 0” 180) of Mary Persons High School in Forsyth, GA
DB Jordan Carr (6’ 1” 165) of Lexington High School in Lexington, SC

WR Micah Young (5’ 10” 160) of Byrnes High School in Duncan, SC (2016)

I am going to combine all these into a list by position soon.

I'm sure some are wondering why I'm doing this and posting all these players when many won't get offers. There is a reason behind the madness. Jr Day is one of the most important camps we'll have and by looking at who we invited and what positions they play it gives a first look into what direction we are looking at for this upcoming class. It's just another piece of the puzzle. And besides it's not really costing many anything but the time to read this.

He had a very impressive scramble to his right and hit a receiver 10-15 yards downfield. And you were only fairly impressed? The kid did extremely well considering he should be preparing for his senior exams.

Thought I would put up a thread with some of the visitors expected for the game plus add a few that have already been here in the past couple of weeks for visits. Even more important we also have a Junior Day on Saturday so there will be more names to add to the list and I expect several more offers to come out as well. I'll keep adding to the list as more name pop up but here's what I have so far.

Visitors for the Spring Game and/or Saturday Jr Day:
DE Devin Papenheim (6′ 6″ 220) of South Sumter High School in Bushnell, FL (offer)
RB Joshua Allen (6' 0" 190) of Victory Christian School in Charlotte, NC (approved offer)
WR Jay Hood (6' 3" 185) of Lancaster High School in Lancaster, SC (Jr Day)
DB/WR Leomont Evans (5' 11" 175) of Blythewood High School in Blythewood, SC (Jr Day)

Previous Visitors:
QB Marquane Goodman (6’ 1” 193) of West Florence High School in Florence, SC (offer)
DT Rashaad Daniels (6' 2" 240) of West Florence High School in Florence, SC
DE Dorian Gerald (6' 3" 225) of West Florence High School in Florence, SC

2016 ILB/MLB Bryce Monti (6' 0" 215) of Hortonville High School in Hortonville WI

Add:
DB Adonis Alexander (6′ 3″ 200) of Independence High School in Charlotte, NC (offer)
DB/WR Kielan Whitner (6′ 1″ 185) of Mountain View High School in Lawrenceville, GA (offer)
WR/DB Malik Dixon (6′ 4″ 200) of Port Charlotte High School in Port Charlotte, FL (offer)
OL Blake DuRant (6’ 6” 320) of Laurence Manning Academy in Manning, SC (offer)
ILB Hassan Belton (5′ 11″ 200) of Blythewood High School in Blythewood, SC
WR Braylin Collins (6' 1" 175) of Burns High School in Duncan, SC
ATH Dupree Hart (5’ 7” 160) of Northwestern High School in Rock Hill, SC (offer)
RB Trai Sharp (5’ 10” 185) of Carrboro High School in Carrboro, NC (offer)
WR Markeyvious Adams (6’ 4” 185) of Greenwood High School in Greenwood, SC (offer)
OL Victor Johnson (6' 5" 260) of North Augusta High School in North Augusta, SC (offer)
DB Rashaad Bolton (5′ 11″ 200) of Veterans High School in Kathleen, GA

All of these recruits are listed on the Main Page but only those with offers have pages built. I expect more offers to go out (getting ready to add one right now) and will add them as I see them.

We have a Junior Day Saturday and will have many more players. I'll keep updating as I see names pop up today and tomorrow.

I can tell you all right now that we want Dupree Hart. Don't let his size fool you. He's a frappin' athlete, can dive and dart and run like crazy! For those of us old enough to remember, think Darrel Lipford at WCU years ago only faster.
