Around SBN: NFL Week One: Previews and Predictions for all 15 games

Another Committ!!




Chalk up another one for Ralph Friedgen. All you people that don't believe in the fridge better get on board because he is still getting good recruits. Today a defensive tackle from St John's in Washington, DC, committed to the Terps. His father wanted him to think it out more because it's a once in a lifetime opportunity but Andre felt it was time. This is what ESPN, who rates hima 77 says:

Monroe is an active defensive tackle in a small package. It is easy to like how Monroe plays the game, but he does lack ideal size. He will need to add some more bulk, but it may be tough to add size on his frame. While you wish the kid was naturally bigger he does grab some attention with his play. He displays good consistent quickness off the ball. He will flash the ability to fire off low and win the leverage battle and be able to control a blocker. He needs to do that more consistently though with his size. He comes off the ball hard, but needs to generate more power from his lower body when taking on blockers. He is active with his hands and is tough to keep blocked. May struggle some to get separation with his reach against bigger blockers at the college level. He is tough versus the double team. He really hustles around and because he can get off the ball well he can get some penetration and be disruptive. It is not unusual to see him down field pursuing to the ball. Displays solid football instincts. He is a solid wrap-up tackler. As a pass rusher he will bull his way straight ahead. He flashes the ability to try and work a quick move like the swim, but usually tries to punch and shed and power his way to the quarterback. You would like to see him expand his pass rush arsenal, but his motor can make him tough to block. Size will present a bit of an obstacle, but Monroe is a good football with a good motor.

Jermeiah Johnson Commits to MD as well

Looks like recruiting has started to pick up steam although we are still lacking marquee names.

ESPN had this to say:
“Jeremiah Johnson (Suitland, Md.) has pledged to sign with the Terps in February, ESPN affiliate Web site InsideMDSports.com reports.

Syracuse, Richmond and Morgan State were also showing interest.

At the Baltimore Nike Combine, he posted an electronically-timed 4.54 40-yard dash, 4.49 20-yard shuttle and 30.5-inch vertical."
