Donavan Bieber ran an 11.16 hundred last spring and will likely do better this spring.

Joe Sikma ran an 11.24 last spring, same for him.

I like how slippery Bieber is. Just from watching him and looking at his size and listed weight lifting #'s he is probably destined for a move to slot receiver vs. RB, and even then he will need to get stronger (which I assume he will)

Drew Cassens from Downers Grove North just commuted (guessing as a PWO)

6’3 210 QB/ATH. 2 x All State Selection

His Twitter is private so I can’t share the announcement link on here

Good looking player, should be interesting to see if they view him as a QB or as something else.

He's a good athlete with great size. Reminds me of Maine South's Tyler Knight.....who ran all over us at Warren

Kid looks good. (Drew Cassens)

I like it!

That guy can play, dont know what position, QB,S,LB....he can play. You get him in camp see how he runs and throws v the other guys and make a decision.

I like the PWOs as group.

Looks like a Harnish.

Here are some quotes from someone who runs a QB training facility...QBFarm Take them for what its worth.

QB FARM@qbfarmJan 7
"2X Illinois All State selected Quarterback DREW CASSENS has the strongest arm IN THE STATE! Don’t believe me, come throw on weekends with us and see for yourself. Oh by the way, he runs like a fast “Abrahams tank” as well. College Coaches will figure it out. #FirstClassQB"

"QBs are filling the portal like a SWA holiday flight because they’re were never that good to begin with. Coaches are losing their jobs a lot faster because they’re forced to adhere to the star ranking when
recruiting forced on them by the Alumni$$.

Dec 27, 2019
"Quarterbacks are NEVER found at Invite Camps, Showcase camps, QB Competitions & Combines.
NEVER! Wake up parents.

"HS Star ranking system for QBs is JACKED UP! Guys given D1 offers that have absolutely no business playing QB. Tate Martell is not the only one. They’re in most, if not all Big 5 Schools. Cali-hats, tats, arm sleeves and attending QB competitions don’t make a QB. #NoCatfishQBs"

Dang, we just lost a PWO i was really excited about. Kind of funny though that a BIG10 team just offered and stole a PWO of ours

Woof. To be fair he's from the Rutgers area. Hopefully Schiano can save Rutgers....they're pretty awful

Lost another PWO verbal to EIU.

Good for these guys. Partyla gets to go to his state university and Reddinger probably got a scholly to go to EIU. We can't fault them for that at all.

Free School at decent programs

Just saw a link and now can’t find it about some RB from Florida named Polk who is part of 2020 class and said NIU talks to him a lot and LSU in mix. Forgot about another signing period coming up.

Shouldn't this thread still be pinned?

Saw that. Would be a nice get at RB. Especially if LSU is interested. Maybe they want him to walk on but still...

Similar to how Auburn / Alabama feel when we take under recruited Jimmie Ward out of their backyard and how's in the 1st round.
Rutgers caught us stealing out of the cookie jar and said not do fast there.?

I want to think they cared ...but they had Haha Clinton Dix that year and he went even earlier than Jimmie

True, but I believe that is only due to the fact that he was from Alabama and not NIU. Jimmie Ward is the better pro!
