I don't have input from the big 4 - Pirsig, Davidson, Hayes or Johson.

Thanks for the info. What about Nick Rallis? He's attending camp, isn't he?

Great Report. Thanks for the effort and the result.

Regarding Nick Rallis, he has been pretty quiet on his recruiting and plans. If I come across any information, I will be sure to post it.

Why is Webb not camping? He seemed to be a much more talked about prospect early on, but has seemed to fade into the background. Grades an issue?

Status of Rallis and Webb

I haven't been successful in receiving updates both players. They may be attending camp at Minnesota. I just haven't been able to verify.

I can't say for sure, but I know as of a couple months ago, I was told that Webb was going to be at the camp. I asked a friend of mine who is pretty plugged in why they hadn't offerred Webb yet and he said that Webb is going to the summer camp and if he impresses, expect an offer. Things could have changed or my friend could have been off, but i'd be surprised if Webb isn't going to that camp.

Wasn't Webb supposed to be a stud and better than Farrow? I thought I heard at one time that grades were holding him back from multiple BCS offers. I could be misinformed just wondering if anyone can confirm what I heard

Pirsig is at the Badgers camp this week.

I have no idea what his issues are with grades (if he has any) but I think when it is all said and done that Webb will have multiple BCS offers. I think a lot of teams want to see how well he can really run and then they want to determine which position he will play. He reminds me a little of what i've heard about Dinero Moss, I think he might be a tweener between S and CB. He is pretty physical and the biggest question on him could be his speed.

That said, I have no idea how he stacks up academically. He does have a Toledo offer already (for those who don't know, former Woodbury and Nwestern Rb/Wr Louis Ayeni is coaching at Toledo and going after MN kids pretty hard), i'd be pretty surprised to see him not end up with 3-5 BCS offers.

From Chris Monter interview in February: DN is is Tonka head coach Dave Nelson
__________________________________
GH: What do you see as Charles’ strengths as a player?

DN: He is just a very physical player. He’s got a nose for the football. Last year, he scored four defensive touchdowns. He blocked a punt and ran it in. He picked up a couple of fumbles and ran them in and he’s always just around the football. He is really a savvy player. Physical. Everyone on the field knows where he is. He’s got great instincts and just a complete player.

GH: What are some of the things that he needs to continue to improve on?

DN: Academically, he has got to put himself in a position where he is good to go and he is working on that. That is where it all starts. Like any high school junior, he needs to get stronger and hopefully, he can grow a little bit. He is right about 5-foot-10. He is right on the edge, the border. Hopefully, he’ll continue to fill out and get a little bit faster and a little bit stronger.

I don't know if academics are an issue, but it appears he needed to do some work on it, and hopefully he got on the right track for that.

Nice find Unregistered!

That could certainly be the hold up with Charles Webb.
