As most have realized already BC received another 2009 commit in David Shinksie, the 25 yr old former pro baseball player hung up the baseball cleats for some football cleats. In terms of experience within the last 6 years Shinskie is at the back of the class but in terms of potential Shinskie is at the front. He should be in shape from playing baseball and even if he hasn't been lifting like a football player he is still supposed to have a real cannon of an arm. We'll see what happens with this experiment but if Shinskie were to get a redshirt (and I understand his eligibility) he would be 30 when hes a redshirt senior. The man is actually a year older than Matt Ryan.(but for camparison's sake BYU standout and current NFL backup John Beck was 27 when he graduated).
Future of the program Joe Boisture was in the news this weekend as he went to the Nike Football Combine in Illinois. He stood out and warmed up throughout the day and there were no negative knocks on him. QB MVP went to some 6-1 Whitmer character. I really want to embrace Boisture as the next Matt Ryan but I keep getting the feeling that Boisture is going to prove to be an average prospect as the year goes on. I'll wait until the Elite 11 camp to really delve into this though because that has a tendency to deliver more info on QBs.
Although it is important to keep in mind that BC seems to have some of the best player development in the history of football. (Silva was a 2* prospect, Dunbar a 3* Running back prospect, Raji a 2*, Ryan doesn't count because he was hurt his Junior year) and we also seem to fail with some of the "elite prospects" (Toal 5* was always hurt, Callendar 4* never really took off, McMichael 4* was always hurt, Robinson 4* never proved to be an elite player)
