MICHAEL BARTON, LB, 6-1, 200, CONCORD (DE LA SALLE), CALIFORNIA California Bear Commit Sold On The Education “It’s local of course the coaches have been there a long time and I can see myself fitting in their system.

They (Cal coaches) said they need a replacement for Mychal Kendricks he’s a senior and a pre-season All-American. So when I go there I will start in his spot. That’s one of the reasons I chose Cal so I can play early.” Barton said “They Were Very Excited” “It was in May I committed to Cal they came down to my school and I wanted to them in person.

Also Coach Kenwick Thompson the linebacker’s coach I get along with him. Coach Clancy Pendergrass he’s the defensive coordinator; he’s a good guy as well.” “He’s (Pendergrass) the guy who recruited me, he’s a De La Salle alumni as well – got a connection there. He knows what the program is all about; he bought it into the Cal system what we do here at De La Salle.” “I’m Firm With Cal” “Some schools are still interested I know Washington is and I know that UCLA, Colorado and Utah. These are schools that I’ve hear from. I’m firm with Cal it will be my only visit.” Barton said

I took a couple other visits before I committed. I stepped on campus (Stanford) and loved it and I felt it was the best place for me to be. I also visited Notre Dame and Northwestern I just took a trip out to the Midwest. I visited UCLA a couple of times too.” Whitfield said “Earned My Offer” “Stanford stressed to me they didn’t offer me because of my dad. They said they see talent in me since my junior year. Stanford said I really earned my offer as an athlete not just a family thing.” Whitfield said Midwest Trip “Notre Dame has big tradition football is everything out there. I got to hang out with a couple of players, talked about their program; they said it was great. Actually on that trip I didn’t get an offer from them (ND) but I did get one from Northwestern.” Whitfield said “I thought it (Northwestern) was a great campus. I spoke with Coach Jerry Brown he’s the recruiter for the West Coast. He came to Loyola a couple of times actually so there I decided to take a visit up there.” Whitfield said “You know their (NU) football program is on a rise. They have Dan Persa why is in the Heisman race a little bit. They are a solid program.” Whitfield SoCal Teams To Close To Home “I’ve been around UCLA countless times. I think it’s been around eighth grade since I’ve been going to their football games. So when they stared recruiting me it wasn’t anything new. I’ve been around their program plenty of years. I got a good feel for Coach Rick Neuheisel I took a visit this past summer and got a feel for them.” Whitfield “I did get an offer from USC I went to a few games last year. USC was too close to home, actually its downtown Loyola is about 5 minutes away. I think one of the ways I committed to Stanford it wasn’t too close to home.” Whitfield said

The Auburn offense is a lot like my high school everything is short and simple. Everything is fast pace and quick. They play a lot of no huddle look at the sidelines for the next play.” Pike said “The Auburn coaches said I kind of have everything to offer. I do a lot of running my offense in high school; do a lot of passing too kind of mixture of both. Being a big quarterback I can be able to sit in the pocket – help the team out throwing the ball.” Pike said Shades Of Cam Newton “A lot of the coaches compared me to Cam Newton some say I’m like Ben Roethlisberger. Cam is obviously fast on his feet they really used that t their advantage with Cam -obviously big shoes to fill.” Pike said Playing Time “I’ll probably graduate early in January hope to compete for playing time. They have a freshman coming in Kiehl Frazier he’s a really good athlete; there just will be competition anywhere you go. The best player will win. They have two QB’s in town one is going to be a junior; one is going to be a sophomore. I definitely have a chance to play next year.” Pike said “Most schools are going to have good academics as long as you want to learn, want to study go to class. At Auburn they have really good academic support, they have tutors, and they have mentors, academic counselors to help you for support.” Pike said Schools Have Backed Off “I hear from some here and there,” says Pike, “I told them I’m committed to Auburn and I shut it down, thanks for recruiting me but I’m committed to Auburn. All the respect for Auburn it’s the right thing to do. Not to be toying around with other schools.” “I didn’t think Kentucky recruited me they should have. I’m an hour away from the University they weren’t at the school very much. It’s not a great football program it’s more of a basketball program. I just kind of wanted to get out of state.” Pike said

Ron is straight forward with you he’s such a cool guy.” Monheim said Zook Being Honest With Monheim “Coach Zook said you want to go some where’s you fit.

They watched us on film lots of times saying that we are very good athletes. We would make a pretty good impact.” Stadnik said “I like pretty much a lot of schools in the ACC; I watch a lot of SEC games too. I think the SEC is a great conference. Auburn has offered me from the SEC, Florida Gators, South Carolina, so it’s going to be a tough decision.” Stadnik said Planned Visits To Florida And Auburn? “Yea, I’m planning on it I haven’t finalized anything yet. My calendar is pretty much open during the summer time.

We’ve been having good dialogue with each other. I have a good understanding with him and others.

We have really good technique and all that stuff.” “I just got back from there (Virginia Tech) it was a great time. I got to see all their facilities, the coaches, went to one of their practices.

I was mostly watched the offensive line; they had great technique, well coached.” Stadnik said Beamer Shows The Hardware “I got to meet Coach Frank Beamer he’s a nice person, he’s such a humble person now I understand why the program is so successful.

I really like the atmosphere down there, the campus life; I get along with all the coaches. Coach Robbie Caldwell is down there now he’s the offensive line coach.” Stadnik said “We are thinking about it,” Stadnik said about him and his brother visiting Michigan this summer, “Obviously it’s a long haul we would have to plan it out we just don’t know yet.” “Michigan did offer me a scholarship we have been communicating with two of their coaches.

I’ve been there the past two years, very year they think I’ve been improving, so they like what they saw so far.” “Ohio State likes my velocity how strong my arm is and they will keep following me.” Kelly added Trip To MSU OK “It’s (Michigan State) not bad it’s a wonderful place my uncle went to college there. It (MSU) was an alright place I still visit there about three times a year, but the coaches didn’t interact as much as the other places did. So that was a disappointing thing.” Kelly said “Boston College just offered me.” Kelly said. “That’s top of the notch education. If football doesn’t work out you will get a good job if you go to Boston College. If you want to go to the NFL, that would be a good place. They have a lot of top of the notch coaches there.” “I like to throw the ball our team threw it 20 to 25 times a game some times more. I’m a dual quarterback I ran over 1000 yards and passed for over 2000. So, I’m a little bit of everything. I usually spread people out and make plays.” Kelly said Future Plans “That’s what we are going to talk about. Me, my uncle Jim (former Buffalo Bills QB), Uncle Dan and my dad will sit down and talk about where I should commit with more offers coming in.” Kelly said “Miami also called and wanted film and everything because my Uncle Jim went there. They (UM) know pretty much all about me. My uncle also gets free tickets all the time he (Jim) is on the sidelines. He ‘s alum there so I can visit with him.” Kelly said

My uncles both played there. One of them played with head coach Fitzgerald he was a linebacker with them. I really like the coaches there I’ve gotten to know them because they offered early last summer at one of their camps. I’m familiar with their coaches.” Mangieri said “I do think the Northwestern coaches want be pretty bad I called two coaches the past two days. They both said they (coaches) really want me out there. They just want me come stay the night, be a part of their program.” Mangieri said Early Playing Time “I’ve really haven’t talked to them (Northwestern) about that too much until I see the coaches in person. I think when I go down there in a couple of weeks I’ll talk to them about playing time and stuff, what they see for me.” Mangieri said “They (Northwestern) don’t do junior days but they are having me come down for a spring practice and stay the night with one of the players.” Mangieri said Likes Boston Area “I think Boston College would be a cool place to go. Boston is pretty cool; coaches seem to really like me there. I’m in contact with one of the coaches I call him about once e a week. We e-mail back and forth. I plan on going out there within next couple months for a weekend. See the campus talk to the coaches.” Mangieri said More Offers Coming? “I do, I think there is a couple of schools could be offering once I go to junior days. I’ve been hearing from Illinois, Purdue, Indiana and Wisconsin. They (Illinois) invited me to their junior day which is the same day as Nebraska’s but I’m going to Nebraska’s and see my brother and stuff.” Mangieri said Possible Husker Offer “I’m not sure.” Mangieri said if the Husker’s will offer. “I will be up there for junior days and I’ll probably go to their spring game.” “I’ve been e-mailing Coach J P (Papuchis) and I called him a couple weeks ago they seem really interested. Him (J P) and Coach Bo (Pelini) had a couple meetings about me and stuff like that. Nebraska said right now they are recruiting me as either a tight end or a linebacker. If I grow get bigger I can be a defensive end, pretty much as an athlete.” Mangieri said Family Attends Husker Games “Oh yea, I’ve been to probably six games in Lincoln. My parents go to every home game but I can only make it to so many. I’ve been to their both championship games and both of their bowl games.” Mangieri said. “Game day at Nebraska is crazy they are fun though. I like their stadium I think it’s pretty amazing. It’s the first big time stadium I’ve seen.” Mangieri said “I definelty want to decide before football season. I won’t have to worry about it my senior year.” Mangieri said

MIKE ROSE, LB, 6-0, 210, 4.6, KANSAS CITY (ROCKHURST), MISSOURI Husker For Now “Right now I’m solid with them (Nebraska) we have an understanding what I’m doing. So they told me to check out other places so it’s the right thing. We have an understanding until we get up there (Lincoln) this Saturday.” Rose said Former NU Assistant Had An Impact “I have (bond) with Coach Eckler, I’ve known him for awhile since my freshman year. I’m out of the loop I don’t know who is recruiting my area with the changes. We will see this weekend how it goes when I get up there.” Rose said “Make Sure I Made The Right Decision” “Right now I’m just trying to get a feel for everything else. I committed way, way too early probably should have. I just want to make sure I made the right decision. If it was not the right decision go from there.” Rose said “It doesn’t bother me one bit.” Rose said about Nebraska joining the Big 10. “I think my play fits there (Big 10) than the Big 12 with the spread. I’m more of an I-Formation lay the wood on the fullbacks, running down backs in the back field. I can cover receivers in the slot. My game fits very well in the Big 10.” “I think (NU) will do better in the Big 10 than the Big 12. I believe they should go back to the old school running offense but they are going to spread. Hey, I really don’t know what they are doing but I think the Big 10 defenses have the tradition to compete in the Big 10 right away.” Rose said “I like the city of Lincoln. I like the tradition that Nebraska holds up there. Fact they are football orientated all year round. I like the way they are building facilities, putting them in one central location. My dad has always been a big Husker fan.” Rose said Game Day In Lincoln: “Nothing Can Be Better” “I went to the Texas and Missouri games. Game days are absolutely fantastic nothing can be any better than being in Lincoln on game day so much excitement. It’s a fun experience. I’ve been up there four times now it was a pretty good experience for me and my family.” Rose said “I’ve been to KU, MU and Iowa junior days Nebraska next week. Arkansas after that then I’m done with junior days. I’m going to a lot of spring practices and spring games.” Rose said Iowa In The Running “I love Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz and Coach Eric Johnson and the whole coaching staff is very, very sincere.” Rose said “They want me pretty bad I’ve got e-mails almost every day from coach Ferentz and Johnson how they want to use me stuff like that.” Rose said “Come To The Sky Box” “I really, really love going up to Iowa talk to Coach Ferentz, that’s the first time I ever got to sit down (with a coach) that surprised me. I showed up they told me to come to the Sky Box. That was a great experience to do that.” Rose said “I love Kansas. I love coach Gill and the linebacker Coach Carl Torbush. I’ve known Coach Reggie Mitchell since my freshman year. I love coach Gill he is fantastic we got to sit down with me and dad on junior days. It was real blessing to be with him, to get to hear from him.” Rose said “Not really.” Rose said about hearing from Missouri. “Missouri has their two linebackers (offers) to get. I guess I’m a Plan B. We didn’t talk as much.” Impressed With Arkansas Offer “They are an attraction to the SEC I guess. I like Arkansas I like Coach Garrick McGee I’ve talked to him a couple of times. Arkansas is one of the schools I didn’t really think I would get much attention from. It’s really cool to get recruited by Arkansas. It’s a pretty prominent program.” Rose said “It’s always fun to be considered by a SEC conference school, maybe (I’m) one of the better prospects in the nation.” Rose added NOTE: Just received a text message after talking to Michael that he received an offer from USC. We will try to reach Michael at a later date about the USC offer.

JONAH PIRSIG, OL, 6-9, 300, BLUE EARTH (BLUE EARTH AREA JR), MINNESOTA Pirsig has offers from: Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Missouri. “Best Place For Offensive Linemen” “I like Coach Ferentz at Iowa. They are really good with the offensive line and the head coach knows a lot about it. Iowa would be the best place for offensive linemen. Iowa coaches said I’m their top tackle, they weren’t really pressuring me or anything just making sure I knew that.” Pirsig said “Kind of the same thing with Iowa, Wisconsin is pretty good with the O-Line. I like the offensive line coach there and it’s a college town.” Pirsig said Trip To Wisconsin “I went to three games up there (Madison), I went to camp and I’m going this Saturday on an official visit with my family.” Pirsig said “Wisconsin said the same thing like I’m their top tackle guy. Pretty much all the schools are telling me the same thing.” Pirsig said “They (Wisconsin) are almost crazier than Iowa on game day but Iowa fans love Hawkeye football more than Wisconsin fans.” Pirsig said Buckeye Offer “It was pretty exciting because they were interested in me on a Monday and then Wednesday that same week they offered me. It was pretty crazy.” Pirsig said “I haven’t been to Ohio State yet I plan to in March or maybe in the summer.” Pirsig said “You almost have to like your home state,” Pirsig said about the Gophers. “I watched them growing up always had a good feeling about them. I like the new stadium I saw three games last year. It’s definitely not the biggest but still pretty nice. The locker rooms are huge.” Pirsig said “I think it will add something,” Pirsig said of Nebraska admittance to the Big 10. “It will definitely be more competition for Ohio State, Michigan State and others because they don’t get to play Nebraska often.” Pirsig said

CHARLES ROGERS, ATH, 6-2, 180, 4.5, IOWA CITY (WEST), IOWA “I have an offer from Iowa State,” Rogers said. “From being there it’s like a family atmosphere. I just feel welcome whenever I go down there.” The Thriller In Ames “I’ve been to Ames about five times. I actually went to the Nebraska and Iowa State game. It was an exciting game. Iowa State played the game good they hung in there with Nebraska they were one of the top ranked teams at the time. Iowa State could have pulled away and win but the two point conversion (overtime) pass if thrown better, Iowa State probably would have beaten them.” Rogers said Planned Trips, Hopefully Offers “I think I will get some more offers. I’m hearing from Michigan State, I’m actually going up there February 27 on an unofficial visit. I plan on going to Minnesota on Sunday, February 20. I’m hoping to get an offer from them.” Rogers said “Michigan State as of now is recruiting me as a corner. I only met one coach Brad Salem, I like him a lot he seems down to earth, laid back and cool guy.” Rogers said “I’m also looking what else Michigan State has to offer when I go out there on my visit.” Rogers added “I believe they (Minnesota) run a spread offense right now I run the spread in high school as a quarterback. If I end up working on being as quarterback I can play it in college, but in college I think I would like to play slot or some corner.” Rogers said Seeking Iowa Offer “I have actually been talking with Iowa,” says Rogers. “I don’t know they are recruiting me position wise. I don’t have an offer right now. If I go to Iowa I just want to play corner.” “When I went to Iowa on junior days I talked to some of the coaches and asked them where I would fit in at. I really don’t have a preference I just came out and told them if I came to Iowa I wanted to play corner.” Rogers said Husker Coaches Interested “I was actually going to come up to Nebraska this past weekend. I was talking to one of the coaches and he said not all the coaches were there. They (Nebraska) said it would be better if I came back for the spring game or a spring practice.” Rogers said “I went out to Nebraska last November for a game. I going on an unofficial visit for the game it was an experience like no other. They blew out Colorado and I got a feel for the stadium how it was, it was a real loud stadium.” Rogers said

CHAD VOYTIC, QB, 6-0, 185, 4.6, CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE “I have offers from Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Virginia; actually Arkansas State a few days ago called me and said from film study that they wanted to offer me.” Voytic said Clemson Might Offer “I’m close (offer) with Clemson. I’ve talked to Coach Dabo Swinney they are bringing in the Tulsa offensive coordinator to run the spread. He (Swinney) told me I’m a perfect fit for their offence they just want to see me throw. I’m going down there this summer and maybe junior days. Hopefully I’ll pick up an offer there. So, things are starting to pick up.” Voytic said MSU Early Favorite “Mississippi State is my favorite right now they showed interest in me early and they were my first offer that was pretty special to me. I like what they are doing down there. So I would say Mississippi State right now (favorite) but of course I’m still open to other schools.” Voytic said Shined At Prospect Camp “He (Coach Mullen) wants me pretty bad. They had 11 players down there with only two quarterbacks. He saw me throw, pulled me aside when he was sitting in his golf cart and offered me a scholarship.” “He said ‘We would like to offer you a scholarship, we definitely see you running our offense. You’re our head man, head leader.’” “It’s A College Town” “I like Mississippi State location it’s a college town everyone in Starkville goes to the games on Saturdays, that’s the thing to do. The cow bells the atmosphere.” Voytic said “Everyone I met down there are friendly people, down to earth. Somewhere I can see myself being.” Voytic said “I went down for the Arkansas and Mississippi State game. It was awesome the fans were standing the whole time, the cow bells never stopped. It was a cool thing to witness.” Voytic said Great Bond With Coach Mullen I talk to coach Dan Mullen (MSU) on a weekly basis he’s really a great guy. He generally cares my interests. Where ever I go he will respect me because about my well being. He’s a good coach and a good guy importantly.” Voytic said “I talked to the coaches up there (Tennessee). I went to the camp last summer they pulled me aside and told me to work hard. After the camp was over they had ne come back to the facility and throw to some of their better receivers.” Voytic said “I thought about making a decision soon but I’m going to work hard and get as many offers as I can. Probably hold off unless I feel strongly about a school. I won’t hesitate to commit early.” Voytic said “I’m going to take everything into consideration,” Voytic said. “I think I want to go into law actually I’m a 4.0 student and I take that seriously in my thought process. I know Vanderbilt was telling me statistics about how many graduate and how they are 20 percent graduation rate higher than other SEC schools.” Stay In The South? I don’t know it depends on the situation what really fits my skills playing time and how many quarterback’s in the recruiting class.” Voytic said
