The 2009 Recruiting All Name Team

Submitted by wolvrine32 on
I’m always a big fan of the best names in our favorite sport. Tshimanga Biakabutuka will always be remembered for crushing Ohio State, but the name is equally memorable. Here is the 2009 Recruiting Year All Name Team (subtitled “Names That Make Mike Patrick Sweat and Have Another Gin and Tonic”): QB (pro) - Nyk McKissic QB (dual) - Shavodrick Beaver (you will be missed. Sigh.) RB1 - Dasatre Yarnway RB2 - TIE Nubian Peak, Dontae Aycock (wink wink, nudge nudge on both) FB - Simione Vehikite WR1 - Vondrae Tostenson WR2 - De'Von Flournoy WR3 - Uzoma Nwachukwu TE - Zico Pasut OL - JerQuari Schofield OL - Claudyson Calixte OL - Caylin Hauptman OL - Fono Vakalahi OL - Laman Toiaivao DL - Stansly Maponga DL - Tevita Finau DL - Radermon Scypion LB - Vontaze Burfict LB - Abdallah Homayed LB - Quetzalcoatl Carrasco LB - Barkevious Mingo DB - Prinz Kande DB - Jideofo Okwudiri DB - Vladimir Emilien DB - Romel Dismuke ATH - Ebenezer Makinde Amazingly there were no kickers that really made the cut, although I admit after reading a bazillion names the bar kept getting higher. I would like to point out that for some reason this year, USC really cleaned up in the bizarre name department. And I'd also like to point out that it’s more than likely if Hawaii played LSU that would make even Pat Summerall cry. We hope you enjoyed this edition, and we further hope Mike Patrick is considering a move to PBS or Alcoholics Anonymous. See you all next year.

I played baseball against Quetzalcoatl Carrasco. He played for Ypsilanti, and my team from Rosedale Park in Detroit beat them in a sectional playoff to advance to the State championships. That was 04 I believe. Ypsi was so sure they were going to win they had someone with a plane skywrite a "Y" that slowly turned into a lowercase "r" for Rosedale as we won. He played for Ypsi football last year, and went to Hargrave Academy to prepare for football in college, I guess. Kind of awesome to hear about him these few years later. What a name.

I've been unofficially following this growing trend for years... One that always stood out is former Tarheel wideout Jarwarski Pollock. Maybe that really is why I've been so fixated on signing Mingo...?

Could you imagine in 3 or 4 years when these guys will be going into the NFL? Put the star rankings aside and pretend they all might make it. ...."And with the first pick in the 2013 draft, the Lions select Quetzalcoatl Carrasco....with the second pick the Lions select Jideofo Okwudiri....with the third pick the Lions select (they will be bad enough by then that the Federal government will force the NFL to grant the entire 1st round to the Lions for 2013 claiming unfair assessment, acquisition, and coaching of talent by every other NFL team).
