I'm friends with Alex Kuresa on facebook and on one of his posts Tanner Balderee commented "that's my quarterback" and i haven't heard whether or not he has committed. Anyone know if he has?

Who is he? Never heard of him. Could be a high school teammate.

He's a defensive end from Portland, Oregon and he is being recruited by doman

the name sounds familiar, but I didn't seen him listed as a prospect for 2012 or 2013 in Scout. What year of a recruit is he?

I think he's a 2012 prospect. Maybe he's walking on?

a google search shows GMAN talking about him in February of this year. Can't tell in what context though but I seriously doubt Scout missed one if he committed all the way back then.

Tanner is standing over my shoulder to correct some points:



6'2" 250. Gained 30 pounds working out at BYU since June.



Plan is to play DE or possibly OLB. Schollie waiting for him after his mission.

I had heard he was a 2011 recruit who grey-shirted in 2012, was going on a mission, and then was walking on in 2014 (with hopes of a schollie). Looks like that is about correct.



Dang, sometimes I know more about this stuff than Gurney does! Anyone want a pizza? :lol:

This is another example of players that we get that don't show up on the recruiting list because of gray shirt situations. Note: we also are doing the same with Jack Arslanian (WR), who will run track this year, serve a mission, and then have a schollie when he returns in 2015. Gotta love the way the coaches are able to creatively tweak the system in our favor.

The downs side of that situation (Arslanian) though would be that he would burn one of his eligibility years, which is fine if he's not the kind of athlete that would get any reps his freshman year. It will be interesting to see how his situation plays out.
