Some nice words about Josh Ruka from wissports.net:
Class of 2012 Offensive Line Rankings:
1. Josh Ruka, Greenfield – Ruka is the prototypical lineman from the state of Wisconsin, with great size and outstanding potential. A First Team All-Conference choice last year, he is able to cave in his side of the line. Ruka received an invite to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Combine in San Antonio, Texas but was unable to attend. He reports a 5.1 second 40-yard dash, 28" vertical jump, 4.9 second pro agility drill, 300-pound max bench press, and 400-pound max squat.
Ruka received seven scholarship offers, but chose Northern Illinois back in June. "Josh is a dominant offensive lineman," Hustlin' Hawks head coach Scott Otto said. "He has everything you look for in a lineman: size, feet, attitude, and smart. He's an extremely hard worker, unselfish, and is improving every day."

Here were Drew Hare's stats last season:
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/high-school/football/article_15d72d1c-cdd3-11e0-80c8-001a4bcf6878.html
Quote:Hare, who made a verbal commitment this summer to Northern Illinois, completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,201 yards, with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, and also ran for 1,071 yards and 12 scores.
They're ranked the #1 team this season.

That's not the State of Missouri, that's the St. Louis area. That completion percentage (65%) is solid, good for anybody, let alone a HS quarterback.
RE: 2012 Verbal Thread - RitzHuskie - 08-29-2011 10:06 AM
Perez Ford finished with 162 yards rushing on 25 carries with a TD in a loss to Hinsdale South on Friday. Wonder if we will make him a LB or a RB?

Matt Williams did it all against Wheaton North last night:

There also a video if you go to the link below:

Quote:Howell North was overmatched in the game though losing 52-0 to Zuwmalt West. Northern Illinois recruit Drew Hare led Zumwalt West with 2 touchdown passes and a 37-yard touchdown run on 4th down.
