A little recruiting and news from the NFL

After those first three recruits things have quieted down a bit, but in regards to those three Rivals has released its next set of rankings. Boisture slid a little bit but still has 4 stars and cracks the Rival 100 @ 90. He's the fourth rated pro-style and since many of the Dual threat QBs are listed as Athletes right now that actually makes him the 4th QB overall, not too shabby. KPL slid in as the # 32 OLB but thats such a popular position I think thats pretty darn good. It also looks like we might be in the running for his cross-town rival Khairi Fortt a strong candidate for a 5th start @ OLB. Betancourt was only given 3* and slid in as the # 30 OT, but I would like to remind everyone that Castonzo was an unheralded recruit when he came in and look where he is now. I think Betancourt could be something great on this O-line.

I spent that day looking around team websites to see how our boys are doing @ mini-camps. Ron and BJ are doing great and Ron could be starting next year since the Pats seem to be at a stalemate with Wilfork. I couldn't find much news on Robinson but the Eagles website is well run and theres a number of pictures of him during drills. The fans don't seem to have much hope of him catching on though. Down in Tampa Ryan Purvis is listed as a TE but was given the number 46 which is a runningback (FB) jersey. Theres already two very good FBs there so I don't think you'll see Purvis blocking for Dunn or Graham but its not exactly good news for Purvis right now. I couldn't find much news on Francois and Toal seems to have disappeared since not getting an offer after a strong Jets camp. Theres not much news for Crane either but there are some pictures of him slinging the ball around. Only other Eagle Alum in the news is Josh Beekman who started 16 games for the Bears last year but apparently is losing his position as starting LG because of the shuffling on the O-Line following the O. Pace signing.
