Updates on Bayside HS (CA) prospects
Zack Morris (6'2" 180 4.6) is a high 4 star dual threat QB. Today he re-affirmed his committment to Stanford (he got a 1502 on his SAT), but there are also rumors out there that he will be following his high school sweetheart Kelly Kapowski to San Diego State. Time will tell with this recruit, and RR may have gotten in on him too late. I just don't see him leaving the state. May be for the best though - he is a bit of a risk. A couple weeks ago he got picked up for DUI leaving from a toga party.
A.C Slater (6'0" 212 4.75) is high 3 star/low 4 star type fullback. The Scout boards are confirming a late visit to Ann Arbor. He doesn't seem to fit the system but I think RR may be looking to move him to LB. After all, the rumor is that A.C. stands for "abnormally cruel." Anyway, I hope RR takes a chance on him - size and speed are desperately needed at the LB position. Grades may be an issue, but word is that he's getting some intense tutoring from his friends Screech and Jessie Spanno.

Lisa Turtle is a babe.

mr belding for DC

How can you rate Morris ahead of Slater? There's a reason why one is called preppy and the other jock. Now I know what you watch on Saturdays... ;)
January 30th, 2009 at 2:58 PM ^
because there is pretty clearly some bad blood between the two. From a Rivals interview with Zack: "I'm not sure why he calls me preppy. Looks like he's the one heading to prep school."
Also, Slater's star ranking has fallen a bit from his relatively poor senior season stats. Insiders report that some off-field issues had a major impact - his MySpace noted that his (now ex) girlfriend was heading off to Vegas to try and become a Showgirl.

would be a ND lock. In his college years he was buddy budderson with a Gohlic.
January 30th, 2009 at 2:55 PM ^
also be having a fundraiser for Screetch and his house? Poor guy, I think if they throw him in like the Witty deal, then RR will be able to hit a homerun and get Morris here with the hopes that Witty/Screetch will be able to do something.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:03 PM ^
Your recruiting info is outdated. I have sources that tell me that Morris and Slater are a package deal with a silent verbal to California U. (or am I getting this mixed up with those 3-stars out of Beverly Hills; Walsh and what's-his-name?)
...and also: be careful with the youtube video for Screetch. There's fluff in it, but not the kind we normally see with high-schoolers.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:00 PM ^
you're a little late. Although Zack really admired the academic reputation of Yale and AC got his dream scholarship to the University of Iowa (although, in wrestling), they've both already committed to Cal U.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:10 PM ^
Why is this not under the Tom posts? Or does he have to interview them first for it to get in that section?
January 30th, 2009 at 3:15 PM ^
Any update on the status of Stacey Carosi? I hear she's been offered a volleyball scholarship.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:28 PM ^
in lieu of moving to Queens and marrying a fat UPS driver.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:17 PM ^
IPS driver.
Fat, funny, and loveable.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:18 PM ^
I think it would be awesome for TomVH to interview a fictional character, like Zack Morris. I would enjoy reading that.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:21 PM ^
fictional?
January 30th, 2009 at 3:22 PM ^
Oh shoot, I didn't realize I typed fictional. I meant awesome.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:21 PM ^
Too bad we couldn't get commits from Valley High's Dan and Stan Clegg. Nothing wrong with adding some depth at OL. They probably hit it off with Boren during their tOSU visit.
Why are we talking about this?
January 30th, 2009 at 3:19 PM ^
Oh my gay.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:27 PM ^
do you hate freedom?
January 30th, 2009 at 3:36 PM ^
I saw a commercial on TV last night telling people not to say "that's gay" when referring to something they didn't like. Someone actually paid money for that. It made me want to call more things gay.
It was like the time in college when BAMN came to our fraternity chapter meeting to ask us to boycott Coors beer because of something they did that the libs didn't like. I think we only bought Coors Light for our parties for the rest of the year.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:56 PM ^
But this thread is for serious discussion of recruiting prospects, not fratty bullshit.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:59 PM ^
You had BAMN in your chapter meetings? Geez, guy. We had like a secret special room with a lock and passwords, and when we were in there, we elected a fat guy to sit in a chair in front of the door, specifically so Jessica Curtin and her megaphone couldn't just march in.
P.S. BAMN were commies, not liberals. I mean, the Young Republican khaki brigade and the staff of the Michigan Review were nobody's picnic, but nobody got them confused with the neo-Nazis on the diag.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:25 PM ^
That wasn't nearly as bad as when a girl from SAPAC came in to talk to us about sexual assault. Instead of learning anything, every guy tried to one up the last guy by making the most creative sexual advance. She was not pleased.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:39 PM ^
There's only so many ways someone can imply that you are male, and therefore trash, without getting annoyed
January 30th, 2009 at 4:30 PM ^
those rebellious college days.
January 30th, 2009 at 3:40 PM ^
"people all over the world, join hands. start a love train, love train"
got love the silver bullets. my fav.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:08 PM ^
it is PBR or nothing at all.

January 30th, 2009 at 4:11 PM ^
well if i cant afford coors then i go for the nattie lite
January 30th, 2009 at 4:12 PM ^
I think we held off offering Zach because he still hasn't fully recovered from an ACL injury he suffered in the locker room prior to a basketball game.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:15 PM ^
I thought it was just some torn cartilage?
January 30th, 2009 at 4:19 PM ^
Yeah I think that is what they said, but judging by his reaction and the surgery I would put it more as a torn ACL haha.
Oh and I don't think we have a chance at A.C. His dad is military and RR's lack of family values doesn't agree with him. However with all the swearing RR does A.C.'s dad might take a liking. Its up in the air...
January 30th, 2009 at 4:42 PM ^
He couldnt play in the homecoming game because he drank a beer and crashed Lisa's parent's car. Principal Belding was very disappointed.
Although in real life Marc-Paul Gosselar did play football, he did not on show.
On another SBTB football note. The spinoff- SBTB The College Years featured Bob Golic as the lad's RA.
Great call on the Stacy Carosi volley ball scholarship, although rumour is that she moved to Queens and married a fat guy.
January 30th, 2009 at 6:31 PM ^
Slater's dad is concerned over RichRod's apparent lack of family values
January 30th, 2009 at 7:34 PM ^
At first I said "say what? This is stupid." But then I was all "huh?" And finally I was like "Yeah, that's cool".
But as see A.C. as more of a linebacker/safety.
January 30th, 2009 at 7:43 PM ^
That SBTB ad in the left pane is a creepy-good match.
January 30th, 2009 at 8:06 PM ^
A Rivals mod may have this taken down soon, but word from the premium sections says that A.C. Slater will announce his commitment to play for the University of Hawaii Warriors this fall. Apparently, his father is being relocated to a base in Honolulu and A.C. decided that blood is thicker than Bell's Oberon. There's a goodbye luau set for tomorrow evening, if anyone wants to wish Slater well. It appears his decision is final and there will not be--under any circumstances whatsoever--any change (whatsoever).
Time to take him off the board.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:57 AM ^
I bet Slater is closer to 5'6". Any details on Moose?
