You should also watch for Seyi Airotutu. The wideout from Fresno State.

 

Don't forget about Lonyae Miller. He hasn't had a lot of work this year because of Ryan Matthews but he's got some talent too. AJ Jefferson is also raw but talented.

 

Thought this might be helpful as it gives all the Bowl Games and where they can be seen.

This is cool cause we'll be able to get info on guys that we cant see, this thread will end on Jan 7th after the champ game.

Is that the plan, to keep this thread open for all of them?

 

AJ Jefferson hasn't trained on. He has first round ability as I mentioned last year but has struggled.

 

A guy I am curious to see more of is Marcus Easley from UCONN.

6'2'' 216 lbs WR - #29

Only started one year, although he did get some action his junior year, although limited production. Regardless, this year he still had 44 receptions for 853 yards and 8TD's.

Just for reference, he had double the receptions of anyone else on the team, and UCONN's QB situation is putrid at best, and has been for a while now in the program, even going back 2-3 years minimum. Their offensive line has also underperformed compared to the level produces by William Beatty and our own Donald Thomas.

Easley is very raw, but he makes plays.....although he doesn't always run hard from what I've seen if he expects the ball to go somewhere else. Not every play, but it does happen. He does appear to be an adequate bocker, but again I NEED to see more of him.

He could be a nice mid to late round guy to snatch up.

 

for the fresno vs wyoming game these are the players i will watch

fresno state
rb lonyae miller
rb ryan matthews
wr seyi ajirotutu
og devan cunningham
og andrew jackson
de chris carter
cb aj jefferson

wyoming
og zach kennedy
dt john fletcher
nt fred givens
de mitch unrein
cb marcell gipson
fs chris prosinski

 

I like his open field tackling. I watched him a couple times last year and that stood out. I don't know how he is this year though.

 

chris carter and matthews on fresno stood out for me. havent really benn impressed by wyoming players though unrein and prosinski have had plays

 

yeah matthews isnt in the cj spiller class but he could be a decent 6th round pick up. still not crazy bout fletcher. similar to matthews to me. maybe a 7th round flyer but not starting material

 

players i'll watch in rutgers ucf

rutgers
fb jack corcoran
wr tim brown
lot anthony davis
rot kebvin haslam
de george johnson
ilb ryan d' imperio
de john freeny
lb antonio lowery
cb devin mccourrty

central florida
de jarvis geathers
de bruce miller
lb corey hogue
dt terrell troup
qb brett hodges

 

do you see him as a future NFL starter? i dont under any circumstances. at best he might be a backup but my bet is he is out of the league in 3 years. just see him gettin g blown away by NFL quality. dont see him doing enough against inferior college talent

 

:lol: thats what vcrs are for:lol: need to save some football for after midnight so i dont have to watch a half hour special on sham wow! :wink2:

 

really? top 32 in the nfl? just dont see it. you could be right but i think there are better prospects this year and only about three per year will become starters

 

II COULD SEE him as a late round pick. You never know how he takes to weight training. Liked the DEs ( Johnson and Freeny) for Rutgers and the DT Troup for Central Florida

 

one thing i learned about you padre is when you say you like a defensive lineman they end up getting sacks. Hope you like merling and langford tomorrow :yes:

 

havent watched merling last two games but he hasnt vanished padre. he's controlling his area and allowing others to make the plays. he's constantly around the ball. i am happy with his production but its not superstar level. he's very blue collar right now but he's more consistent than last year. hopefully next year he can add some moves and add some sacks. still even if he doesnt he'll be solid but if he does he'll be special

 

I bet the Steelers pick this guy up. He reminds me a lot Aaron Smith, and Pittsburgh always seems to be able to get these guys that fit what they do.

 

DeAndre Brown is going to be a very, very interesting prospect in a year. I remember watching him as a freshman and he's so impressive. Good hands and speed at 6'6" and then suffered a nasty leg injury. Good to see him healthy.

 

Yeah, he has some nice size and speed - would be really nice if we could get him this year. But alas - ugh.

 

I saw a little of that game, Brown looked good. Nice catch over the middle.

Temple vs. UCLA-EagleBank Bowl December 29, 2009

UCLA Defense

#92 DT JR- Brian Price-definately 1st round sleeper maybe #2 DT behind Suh.(pre-combine #15-30) Named to alot of All American Teams
#3 S SO- Rahim Moore-led nation is INTs(9) Named to alot of All American Teams
#10 OLB RSSO-Akeem Ayers-very athletic OLB(hybrid in the NFL-6'4 w/speed)
#1 CB SR-Alterraun Verner-Lockdown corner(mid 3-5 rd prospect)
#51 MLB SR-Reggie Carter-had a down year but still the vocal leader on defense(mid 4-6 rd prospect)

UCLA Offense-team is still young-no real standout yet
#83 WR SO-Nelson Rosario(6'5 with great hands-lots of drops though this season)
#82 WR SO-Tyler Embree
#23 RB SO-Johnathan Franklin(needs to hold on to the ball)
#25 K Kai Forbath-Best PK in the Nation(Grouza Award Winner)

 

I was not blown away by John Fletcher, Lonyae Miller, or Seyi Ajirotutu. However they all made a handful of plays and certainly warrant 7th round consideration. Fresno State's junior DE Chris Carter looked good but I don't know how a 6-2 230 lb defensive end fits into the Dolphins defense.

Ryan Mathews was by far the best prospect on the field. He got injured but showed his toughness by returning to the game. Racked up a ton of yards and 2 touchdowns.

 

I mentioned him about 6 weeks ago. He's been impressive this year, especially down the field.

 

Easley will, IMO, stay a later round prospect...because of his spotty history, only having been elevated in the depth chart after a breakout performance against Pittsburgh.

Prior to that he was mostly just a special teams player that would come in on some offensive situations like in the red zone, because of his size.

He could be something but I'm not sure you count on him being more than a special teams player, at this point.

 

I never thought he'd rise much past the 4th given his history and only one real year on the field, but he does have potential. If the regime continues to look for middle round players as wide outs, he may fit into that range.

 

I think as a guy who has deep ability, with good size, is a little raw but has upside....he's one of those later round guys that holds some interest for me. I suppose the question will be at what point Miami moves away from question marks and deals in contributors?
