I wonder why the other schools backed away from Miller?

Don't get me wrong, its great that he's with us and we need him but I just wonder.

I don't know. Sometimes players may list a school as "being interested" when they receive a letter from that school. That's not always the case.

Anyway, I like his size. Here's his shot at FAU to make the others regret for backing off.

I was in the same group as Miller in a camp this preseason, dudes a beast.

Just wanted to post what a writer thought about each player. Good line on the last player on the list. We still need to sign these guys on signing day. I hope they all come through.
Nice size linemen in the group.
The Chris Laz comparison is too funny. Same mold as Chris? 6'2 190??

FAU Recruiting List

NAME POS. HT. WT. HOMETOWN
Jermaine Counsil DE 6-4 250 Melb. Eau Gallie
Speed player can rush the passer

Roderick Ferguson RB 5-10 205 Deerfield Beach
Top-five rusher in Broward County

Cortez Gent WR 6-0 180 Chiefland
Gent excelled for 1A Chiefland

Christopher Goff LB 6-2 190 Cypress Lake
Built in the mold of former Owl Chris Laskowski

Jamari Grant WR 6-4 210 Jax First Coast
Could shift to a different position

Jason Harmon WR 6-2 190 Riverview
Outstanding special teams player

Michael Holton TE 6-4 225 Ely
One of FAU's most prized recruits

Conshario Johnson WR 6-0 171 Tampa Middleton
Ranked as a three-star player by Rivals.com

John Jones WR 5-10 180 Jupiter
Palm Beach star will stay local

Damian Lee DL 6-5 275 Miami Edison
Wide-body player can immediately step into rotation

Josh McClover DE 6-4 210 Coconut Creek
Needs to add more bulk to make an impact

Kevin Miller OL 6-3 325 Northeast
Can start immediately

Danny Pacheco LB 6-1 205 Lehigh U.

Anthony Russo OL 6-5 290 Hollywood Hills

Rusty Smith QB 6-4 215 Jax Sandalwood
Will provide depth

Jimmy Toussaint TE 6-3 240 Miami Edison
Another key cog for tight end-dominated offense

Lavaris Williams OL 6-4 250 Dillard
Needs more size, but can develop into top blocker

Darius Wilson LB 6-0 200 John Carroll
Might land elsewhere

I thought that was pretty funny as well, at 6-2, 190,
if he plays anything like Chris and he adds a little extra pounds this guy could be dangerous.

I still like the TE - Holton great pick-up.

Looks like we pick-up some great athletes - signing day is just around the corner.

The latest commit list shows Anthony Russo listed under FIU and its been there for a few days. I just posted the latest in the opening thread.

the latest lists have russo on both fau and fiu...guess that shows us how scientific the papers listings are.

>>Troy just stole a good prospect from our STATE again.<<

Some people might not understand that Troy has thousands of Florida alumni and students, especially from the central and northern portions of the state. Troy is only a couple of hours north of Fort Walton/Panama City.

Troy had more Florida players last year than any other non-Florida university. It fares well among players in the panhandle and northern sections, and has gotten a few kids from South Florida during the past few years (One of its major running back prospects from Belle Glade was expelled last year for his alleged part in firing a gun in retaliation for being shot at … Drive-bys are a real rarity up there).

This year so far, Troy has two good commitments from Fort Myers.

You've been kind of quiet BMarkey? Gearing up for a Troy run at a BCS bowl?. ;)

Troy have an excellent record for getting Fla Talent. The one you guys just got from Bartow is a steal. The kid is not too bad. You will continue to do well on the running game with him as lead. Kenny The Cat, will appreciate him.. ;D

Troy has been getting its best talent in history each of the last three or so years, and rumor has it this year will be excellent as well. New facilities and a bowl appearance have to help.

Cathouse ("Catoose") is supposedly the real deal as a RB. He was New Jersey's all-time leading risher. I don't understand why the coaches burned his red shirt by inserting him in a few games (including FAU), though.

D.T. McDowell is going to amaze people at QB. I hope some good receivers can be recruited.

Word is, Troy has a lot of linemen ready to step in and lots of defensive players (including a couple of great ones from Georgia) have been targeted and have committed.

I've been posting a lot about basketball season, especially when it comes to the UCF-Troy rivalry. The rubber game is this Friday night (7:30 p.m.) on CSS TV. I'm still in football withdrawl, but it was great to be at the bowl game - regardless of how nasty the weather was.

Someone on the Troy board accused me recently of being an FAU fan! I've got your back there.
