Breaking news on Sean Parker

Submitted by The Other Brian on

Parker just told GBW that he will not be taking anymore visits elsewhere - he was scheduled to take an official visit to USC on January 15th.

Feel free to interpret from that what you will...

Hopefully this means that he has already made his decision and may be announcing it soon, maybe during a certain football game this saturday in San Antonio. We need a playmaker at S and that is exactly what SP is.

I tend to agree but just think how amazing the secondary could be if every one lives up to the hype in 2011. CB's - Christian and Turner, Safeties - Robinson, Parker. And who's to say kids like Emilien, Witty, Talbott, Avery, Johnson, Vinopal, etc don't show to be great players too.

Just logged on the computer saw that we beat O state in basketball and hopefully this is good news for us in landing a very talented football player.

.............Liking 2010 so far

As long as recruits are still talking to King Beaver, Sam Webb and Co, it's a good thing.

It's when they tune out all their Michigan contacts that things usually mean the other cheatin' schools that cheat all the time by cheating have cheated Pristine Michigan out of yet another recruit by cheating.

But seriously--Nick Perry comes to mind, so does Rojo: when they stop talking to Michigan guys--it be over.

When you look at the height / weight / speed / videos of Sean and Ray Vinopal, they look very comparable. Obviously Sean is the higher ranked player by the recruiting services.

Why were people flipping out so bad when Ray signed but are giddy about Sean? They both appear to be excellent players on film.

PS - Our secondary is shaping up nicely for the future.

My understanding is that Ray's listed height/weight are inaccurate. Allegedly Parker weighs ~15-20lbs more than Ray, and is ~2" taller. In addition, I don't think Ray really did the horse and pony camp circuit, which does wonders for exposure...and, depending on how you performed, your rankings.

ah, youre right on JB Fitzgerald, at least thats the position he was recruited for.

a lot of guys ive spoken to think Ezeh is playing out of position. whether he's best suited for OLB in the 4-3 or MLB in our system, im not too sure. it still doesnt change the fact that we have him for only 1 more season and that talent and depth at ILB/MLB is really lacking.

i like but do not love Vinopal's commit. if i had to choose any commit to switch w/ a MLB, id probably pick one of the 6 WR's.

according to both Scout and Rivals these two guys are virtually identical in size. If anything, Parker might be a bit shorter, a bit heavier, and a bit slower in the 40 yard dash. So I suppose Parker must be rated higher because he just makes more plays on the field. Fair enough. We'll all find out at some point who the better player is. I won't pretend to know the answer right now based on the current information.

A player's size and high school production aren't the only factors in projecting how good he'll be at the next level. This is why you're not a coach.

What a great start to 2010. First the basketball win and now this. Plus the red wings rolled and the lions lost to hopefully maintain that they draft suh.

According to rivals he's still waiting until signing day, and Parker doesn't seem to have a real favorite.. so this is definitely one to watch.
