Had your fill of
college football recruiting?
We thought
not.
Take heart. Signing Day 2014 is just 51 weeks
off ... soon enough that our good friends at Scout.com already have the
wheels turning on next year's
top 300 list.
And for high
school football watchers in Arizona, and the coaching staffs at our
state's D-I football programs, it figures to be a
doozy.
No fewer than six Arizona players are ranked
in Scout's top 100 ... and eight in the Top 117. It just might be the
richest class yet for our state.
In order, here are
the elite eight:
No. 23: Chandler Hamilton offensive
tackle Casey
Tucker (No. 4 offensive tackle), already committed
to USC.
No. 46: Mountain Pointe wide receiver
Jalen Brown (No. 7 wide
receiver)
No. 51: Tucson Salpointe wide receiver
Cameron Denson (No. 8 wide receiver), already
committed to Arizona.
No. 61: Scottsdale Desert
Mountain wide receiver Mark
Andrews (No. 10 wide
receiver)
No. 84: Scottsdale Desert Mountain
quarterback
Kyle Allen (No. 4
quarterback)
No. 100: Chandler Hamilton defensive
end
Qualen Cunningham (No. 12 defensive
end)
No. 106: Tucson Sabino offenvie tackle Andrew
Mike (No. 18 offensive
tackle)
No. 117: Phoenix Mountain Pointe offensive
guard Natrell
Curtis (No. 6 offensive
guard)
While we were scouring the list, we happened
to notice the No. 3 running back, and No. 16 overall prospect, is Nathan
Starks of Las Vegas Bishop Gorman High. Arizona,
which just signed Bishop Gorman quarterback Anu Solomon, is one of seven
schools of interest for Starks.
Should be an
interesting 51 weeks.
