Get a win, get a commitment the next day. Sounds like a good strategy from here on out.
Per IMS via Twitter, Ralph Friedgen and Maryland football just received their 15th commitment for the 2011 cycle from Cape Coral, FL, athlete Jimmy Stewart.
There's not a lot on Stewart out on the 'net; he has almost nothing in his Rivals profile, no evaluation on ESPN, and his Scout profile has little going on. What we do know is that he's a 6-3, 200 pound prospect that plays DE and WR for his HS team down in South Florida. He had offers from Colorado State and Utah State, apparently landing one from Maryland after a summer of touring various camps.
He's listed everywhere from wide receiver to defensive end to tight end to outside linbacker, so there's a lot of flexibility as to where he ends up. That's not a bad thing, especially as Maryland's defense slims down. He supposedly can run a 4.51 and is building up to 220 pounds, a size/speed combination that would be very respectable at either TE or OLB, or even DE if he can build up strength. With only one linebacker in tow for 2011 so far, my guess is that he ends up there. We'll see.

know it alls
And you guys would have just known that Randy White could never play DE for the cowboys coming out of Christiana at 210 pounds. Just because there is a blank white box here, it doesnt mean you are required to type something when you have nothing worthwhile to say. Maybe the bigger schools, with whom you would be impressed didnt offer because he has no position but we are willing to see what he will develop into because we saw something worth waiting on. Maybe all he will ever turn out to be is a high motor inspirational special teams guy. We need those too. And every year one of those guys helps us win a game with a key stop or fumble forced or some other play that goes unnoticed by “fans” who only see the 60 yard play as worthy of taking notice. Are you all really so self impressed that you have to make a negative comment about every little thing? So jaded that only a 4 star recruit, with no more surety of being a BMOC than this guy, gets your approval? Dallas Clark was a 200 pound QB when Iowa recruited him. He turned out ok as a TE. High school kids are not finished products.

Amen. Someone had to say it.
I get tired of the picky negativity. Why can’t we just welcome the new recruit, let his play determine your comments. If he ends up a stud afterall, will the haters here eat their words? Doubt it, just move on to the next topic to bitch about.
Holy Shit...

Words to live by!
I’m not one to bang on recruits that have to fill out a 6 million man depth chart. He’s a tall, versatile player that under the S&C program at MD should be able to adjust his body to whatever position the coaches think he’ll contribute the most at. Getting a player from FL in general is a good sign that we’re working hard on getting guys to come from the talent-rich states.

Yall are crazy
if you think it doesnt bode well that there is no info on this kid
yes, sometimes the top kids dont pan out
yes, sometimes kids slip through the cracks
but odds are that the top ranked or highly ranked kids will be pretty good at the college level
i never want to settle or “hope for the best” with kids without stars or ratings next to their name. give me the top prospects all day everyday.
