I wish Scaife the best, but I also wish he would talk to Jacquil Capel about the decision he made and ultimately coming back to App. Seems like a similar situation

Per twitter WR Matthew Eaton (6′ 4″ 195) of Pascagoula High School in Pascagoula, MS has picked up an offer from App. I have added him to the Main Page and placed a player page with video up for him. Rivals has him at 6 5". 24/7 and hudl.com at 6' 4" and ESPN.com at 6' 3". I picked the middle. The Rivals 2 star is showing additional reported offers from UL-M, Navy, and Youngstown St.

Per Twitter reports LB Eric Boggs (6′ 2″ 225) of Belton-Honea Path High School in Honea Path, SC has received an offer from App. I have placed him on the Main Page and placed a player page up for him with video highlights. The Rivals and 247 2-star player is showing offers from Charleston Southern, Mercer, Presbyterian, and Wofford although several articles I have read are surprised he hasn't received offers from higher teams. After looking at the videos I can't understand why myself. He can play both in and out LB, has good speed and quickness plus good instincts in reading the O and playing the gaps. He also has the size to drop back in coverage and good ball skills. Just watch the clips when you get a chance.

Appalachian State has offered Belton-Honea Path (S.C.) ILB Eric Boggs, one of state's most undervalued '14 prospects

From twitter and internet reports QB Penny Smith (6′ 2″ 180) of Fulton High School in Knoxville, TN has received an offer from App. He has been added to the Main Page and a player page with videos added for him.

Smith's offer from ASU was noted in today's Knoxville paper. Smith and Rollins are impressive. Fulton has scored a TD on its last 27 consecutive drives. Rather amazing.

From internet and twitter reports DL Jimmie Gipson (6′ 0″ 255) of Olive Branch High School/East Mississippi CC has received an offer from App. I have added him to the Main Page and placed a player page with video highlights up for him. The Rivals and 247 JUCO 2-star is showing additional offers from Ga. Sou, South Alabama, Southern Miss, Toledo, Troy, WKU, and Western Michigan.

Really like the videos of this recruit. Good hands for a LB - also played TE. He just looks like a kid who plays a full speed at all times with his hair on fire. We need more kids with a motor like this!

[ASUGoose]

Hmmmmmm..... add 12 more to that jersey and he looks a little like someone I know....

Even though the video only shows 1 pass.... he does look similar to Armanti. Did we find another diamond in the rough?? I hope so

What an excellent day for recruits to be at The Rock!!! Moose, do you have a pretty good handle on who was there and have there been any tweets about offers, experiences, commits etc.?

Where the heck has this team and staff been all year? Totally different approach and execution yesterday. Great to see!

[firemoose]

I have a pretty good idea who was here.

We had 5 recruits with offers already:
New 2014 offers LB Eric Boggs and QB Penny Smith (with his RB Daryl Rollins, who has held an offer for a while), RB Josh Boyd (another who has had an offer for a while), and one other unofficial.

2014 LB Sam Blue doesn't hold an offer from App but would be interested if he received one.

2015 ATH Derrick Myers and RB Josh Jackson both were tweeting that they were here.

and 2016 RB Robert Washington picked up an offer from App yesterday while here. He already holds a reported 11 offers, mostly from BCS schools, so I'm going to throw him in the LONG shot catagory but he tweeted he loved the visit and an offer was extended.

I'm back checking on a couple more that I think were here based on twitter posts but I've got to figure them out. I'll add them when I do.

2014 offer OL/DL Stuart Johnson (6′ 4″ 270) of Wesleyan School in Norcross, GA was another unofficial visitor yesterday I think. That was one of the twitter posts I was trying to figure out. Call it 95% sure.

[kgblade]

He would be a great steal.

[ASU@RDU]

Hope Sam Blue from Millbrook in Raleigh gets offer. I know him and his dad he is great young man, high character, great family and he has scored 4 TD on strips of RB from his DL position this year. Has high GPA around 4.0 or higher as well. He has made himself a player with hard work. He does hold offers from Davidson, not because of athletic ability but because of his grades and football skills. He could be a sleeper and a steal for someone. I hope it is ASU. Great athlete also plays BB and track.

Even if he never became a starter or great player at ASU he would make you proud to have him on your team and represent ASU the right way. Class act the entire way.

From Twitter and internet reports RB J’vonte Herrod (6′ 0″ 210) of North Cobb High School in Kennesaw, GA has received an offer from App. I have added him to the Main Page and placed a player page with video up for him. The Rivals 2-star and 247 3-star RB has additional reported offers from Minnesota, Kennesaw St, Utah St, and WKU.

Also new offer WR Matthew Eaton (6′ 4″ 195) of Pascagoula High School in Pascagoula, MS is reporting via twitter he is taking an official visit to App on Nov 23rd.

From internet and twitter App has picked up commit #15 from DB Teh’ron Fuller (6′ 2″ 200) of South Fort Myers High School in Fort Myers, FL. I have moved him to the commit section of the main page. He had reported additional offers from Cincinnati, FAU, and Toledo. I have video highlights included in his page but I'll add them here also.

Interested to see if he is converted to OLB like Townes was

Teh'ron goes to the same high school that Clemson All-American Sammy Watkins went to.

I was thinking the same thing while watching his film. He's got good size and quickness to the ball and he's not afraid to hit. Would make a good OLB but having a 6' 2" hard hitting safety isn't a bad thing in the 3-4 either. Guess it all depends on who we get signed in Feb. Still a ways to go.

I'm going to add a question mark to this one for a little while until I hear back from some sources. Word came late and I wasn't able to backcheck. Normally the FL prep site I picked up the tweet from is good and 247 is spot on but I've been searching all morning and haven't found anything else. Scout confirms the offer and other schools but is normally late in adding commits and ESPN is usually a few weeks behind at our level. Just being my cautious self.

[AppStateNation]

I think it's just quiet because the kid didn't use social media to announce anything which is how most everyone gets the word these days. My guess is that tweet you found just referenced our article or the commit tracker on the front of 247 cause I find it unlikely they have our sources.

That being said you can take this one to the bank. He for sure committed.
