definitely a member of the all-name team.

Art Vanderlay of vanderlay industries.

It was a pretty weak joke to begin with.
February 14th, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
don't sell yourself short - art vandelay is a national hero.
February 14th, 2012 at 6:33 PM ^
Long highlight tape. His helmet has wings, but they aren't the right colors yet.
February 14th, 2012 at 6:44 PM ^
To give an offer by the end of the week then? Sorry, not really witty/funny anymore. Probably more true than I make it out to be, however.

This kid is a monster. He'd be a great pick up, but might be a tough pull from the west coast. He's from a really cool part of CA too, in between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, in the mountains.

Yeah, but remember Al and most of the staff from San Diego have a history of recruiting in California.

He is from a very small town. I'm not sure, but I don't think they are pumping out D1 recruits. The staff might have a history of recruiting California, but I'm not sure how often they got up to Placer HS.

Agreed. They had history with Erik Magnuson because he was from a huge high school in SD County. Like you said, Placer is a small town, plus it's a major hike from SD so they probably didn't go up there much, especially since this kid may have not been on the radar by the time they left.
This is like if Arizona fans thought they had an in with a 2013 prospect from Iron Mountain because of RR's history in Michigan.

Good Dutch name. He must fly.
February 15th, 2012 at 10:54 PM ^
His high school helmets have wings, so .. maybe?

I see a fuzzy image of a CFB blog commenting on a missed assignment by the man at hand: "Vanderdoes? More like Vanderdoesn't."

The guy looks like a monster. He has a great pass rush and gets to the quarterback quick. I'm also wondering if he could possibly be used as an end, IMO he looks quick enough to be one and he's also huge as well. Hopefully we can land him.
February 15th, 2012 at 1:21 PM ^
I guess he runs a 4.8 or something close to that so he could possibly play end if he keeps his speed or add some bulk to play inside at the next level.
February 15th, 2012 at 2:36 PM ^
It's very rare that 285 lb. high schoolers play defensive end in college. He looks like a 3-tech to me.
February 15th, 2012 at 2:40 PM ^
You are probably right. He definitely wouldn't get smaller once he got on campus also so a 3 tech makes more sense.
February 15th, 2012 at 10:54 PM ^
He already looks the part .... why not just go all the way?
