Memphis Area 2012-2013 Recruiting Class

[kwc]

It seems that Mr. Wilkins might not be an Auburn Tiger after all is said and done. 'No Longer pledged to Auburn, Jordan Wilkins will wait until signing day' written by John Varlas of the Commercial Appeal give a good insight. I wonder where Mr. Wilkins will enventaully commit? Vandy? UT? Miss State? Those all seem like good desitnations to me.

The Commercial Appeal's Saturday, January 26, 2013 print stated that Goerge Odum from Millington High School has verbally committed to play college football for Central Arkansas. This according to the Trojan's head coach, coach Chris Michael. Millington isn't a City of Memphis school but it is an area school that plays in District 14. That takes the total up to 26 to date.

ESPN's recruiting database had some revelations. For instance, I learned that Marcus Robinson has changed schools. According to ESPN's database he has signed with ... wait for it ... Ole Miss. That doesn't surprise me one bit. Whitehaven's Vincent Hunter Jr. and Andra Smith have both committed to UAB. MUS' Shane Tucker is going to be a Blue Raider and Fernando Van Hook is going to Central Arkansas. There are still some mysteries that will probably be revealed tomorrow however. That brings the current list up 31 adding the two Whitehaven guys along with Shane and Fernando from MUS. So, the results are as follows:

 

Memphis East = 4 [Cedric Jones (WR/DB) - Toledo, Herbert Moore (OL) - UCLA, Christian Morris (DL) - Ole Miss, Marcus Robinson (LB) - Arkansas Ole Miss]

 

Whitehaven = 6 [Mark Dodson (RB) - Ole Miss, Gerald Perry (WR) - Vandy, Darrius Sims (DB) - Vandy, Justin Hunt (WR) - Marshall, Vincent Hunter Jr. (OL) - UAB, Andra Smith (DT) - UAB]

 

Memphis Central = 2 [Frank Herron (DE) - LSU, Latevius Rayford (WR) - Vandy]

 

MUS = 4 [Ford Howell (LB) - Wake Forest, Marquez Lanton (WR) - Ark. State, Shane Tucker (RB) - MTSU, Fernando Van Hook (ATH) - Central Arkansas]

 

Harding Academy = 2 [Zach Collins (OL) - Univ. of Memphis, Mack Weaver (DE) - Vandy]

 

White Station - 4 [Jason Carr (DE) - Tennessee, Donald Gray Jr. (ATH) - Miss. State, Anthony Young (DB) - Univ. of Memphis, Jerry Thompson (DB) - Navy]

 

Ridgeway = 1 [Lenard Harden (LB) - Univ. of Memphis]

 

Evangelical Christian = 1 [Walker Jones (LB) - Alabama]

 

St. Benedict = 1 [Jordan Wilkins (RB) - Auburn Ole Miss]

 

MAHS = 1 [Marquez Lanton (WR) - Arkansas State]

 

Briarcrest = 1 [Thomas Farst (K) - Univ. of Memphis]

 

Fairley = 1 [Demaris Peppers (DL) - Minnesota]

 

CBHS = 1 [Alexander Karr (OL) - Arkansas State]

 

Southwind = 1 [Christian Johnson (DE) - Univ. of Memphis]

 

Millington = 1 [George Odum (DB) - Central Arkansas]

Since yesterday was National Signing Day we all knew that there would a lot more to add to this number. John Varlas of the Commercial Appeal has done a tremendous job tracking all of this. With that being said, I'm sure there are some that slipped through the cracks. I'm also sure that this isn't the end because there are always late signings as well. However, the number of commitments has balloned to 97. Be patient because with this many names there are going to be some that are not correct. As time goes by however, it will all get straightend out. The following is a list breaking it down as we have done before.

I was hoping Gerald Bates, Dyllan McKinney and some of the other linemen would get offers. I haven't heard anything on those guys. Any updates?
