Toledo been in hard on this kid for a long time. We’ll see!
There isn't a RB commit yet in this class, so here's hoping for Shaw.
Also keep an eye out for a local linebacker making his decision Sunday afternoon. His top schools include UT, West Virginia, Cincinnati, and BG.

RE: 2021 Football Recruiting Thread
This is very good news. Keeping a local kid home is always welcome. He has at least 5 other offers.
Great size. Good mobility as well. I'm surpised he doesn't have more offers. He will.
Welcome Jalen!
Go Rockets!

RE: 2021 Football Recruiting Thread
Highly rated RB Willie Shaw committed to UT today. Great job by the staff! He already had multiple P5 offers so that concern is somewhat abated. A top target of UT this year and perhaps our #1 RB target
Very strong runner. He runs with his shoulders low and manages to snake through defenders. Has speed and can also run with power.
Excellent back. I hope we keep him.
Go Rockets!

State champion in the 4x400, and one of the main leads as the 'lion' in Central Catholic's 91st annual musical, The Wizard of Oz. Great all-around kid. Big time commit.

Maaan! What a day for the coaching staff and THE Toledo Rockets. Stole this RB right from his home state. Illinois & Nebraska fans are salty over this one, you love to see it.
Not one, but two highly-touted recruits committing to UT on the same day. These are game-changing commits, people!
December 18th, the clock is ticking (signing day).

Jalen Riven had several division one offers. Before he could tell everyone where he was committing, he wanted to make it special for his mom. Just committed OLB/WR from Toledo Central Catholic.

Man that’s a pretty good list of schools. Hope we can hold on to him. And the rest of our class.

I'm fine. My wife and work in essential businesses
So I've been busy. I was going crazy when Shaw announced at 4 pm on Sunday and nobody on the
board responded right away. I was able to see the commit, but didn't have access to my phone. Don't
forget 2020 RB Lamy Constant, talk about an offer sheet. Just a shame that the new staff have been
somewhat handicapped by covid19. Still doing a great job. I really appreciate what they have done so far.

RE: 2021 Football Recruiting Thread
Glad to hear you are ok Boca !!! I always appreciate your input. Good luck with your business(s).
The UT staff seems to be thriving in tough conditions. The new staff seems to have energized the entire program! That’s awesome.
Constant will be an interesting case. He did not play against top competion in NYC and didn’t play much his senior year so his ability is still hard to project despite his 4 star rating by ESPN.
I really like Cauren Lynch. He has excellent running instincts and that’s not teachable!!
Shaw has instincts, low hips, straight line burst, hard to bring down, good hands.
UT will probably take one more back in ‘21.
I’m also interested to see how UT utilizes Jacques Stuart this year. Kid can play slot, RB, and WR. He has great speed, good hands, and good instincts. He, Maddox, and McKinley-Lewis give UT a lot of slot options.
Go Rockets!

Most do not realize the sacrifice Cavon Butler has made in coming back to Toledo. They've closed all the buffets on Alexis.

Hopefully we’ll find him a jersey with his name on it. That’s embarrassing.

Him and Derrius Mullens will have some massive eating competition. There goes our athletic budget. A real possibility to have some B1G DT's at least in size. Wonder if he'll be eligible if there is a season in 2020?

Used to be that you had five years to play four. That would mean he used his redshirt year, a transfer year and has three years to play starting in 2021. Has that changed? Who knows.
