Free Rivals - Rivals100: Making big moves
Fort Valley (Ga.) Peach County wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (Clemson), Cleveland Heights, Ohio wide receiver Shelton Gibson and Seffner (Fla.) Armwood wide receiver Alvin Bailey also made nice jumps, showing that while this isn't a top-heavy year at their position, it is a deep one.
"Gibson was a ghost all offseason until he showed up at Ohio State's Friday Night Lights event in late July," Helmholdt said. "It was apparent there that he had not spent the entire offseason on the couch. Gibson came in thicker and stronger than we last saw him in the fall. It was his speed that was truly eye-catching, though. He was so fast down the field that the quarterbacks at the event underthrew him all night long and never were able to adjust to his speed."
Free Rivals - Rivals100: Eight new five-stars unveiled
While eight new prospects earned their coveted fifth star, three fell from the ranks. Trotwood (Ohio) Trotwood-Madison cornerback Cameron Burrows, Beaverton (Ore.) Aloha running back Thomas Tyner and Whitewright, Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes all dropped down to four-star status.
"Burrows was outstanding last fall while leading his team to a state title. He played fluidly and with outstanding athleticism for his size. This offseason, however, we saw a combination of low effort and a loss of fluidity from the 6-foot, 200-plus pound defensive back," Helmholdt said. "A player his size has to stay fluid through the hips to stay with elite wide receivers. By the time he showed up at Gridiron Kings in late July, he was really struggling and gave up a ton of completions."
Free Rivals - Southeast Region: Six to watch
1. DL Joey Bosa, 6-foot-5, 270 pounds, Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas: Bosa, a four-star defensive, had a productive junior season recording 52 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and eight sacks. However, the Ohio State commit missed some time last season. That included a 27-20 overtime loss to Miramar (Fla.) that snapped the school's 19-game win streak.
Bosa is one of the most athletic defensive linemen in this year's class. He offers scheme versatility, which allows him to line up inside in addition to his normal end spot. The talented run-stopper spent the summer taking unofficial visits and didn't attend any of the elite summer events. He missed an opportunity to measure himself against some of the premier offensive linemen on the national scene. Look for him to post bigger numbers if he can stay healthy during his senior campaign.
Bosa would be a five-star if he went to camps; he'll be a five-star after the season, I think.

If Gibson clears up his academic, when would he be able to commit? Does it have to be after 1st semester?
@OHIOTHOMAS1, from what I gather (on this site) I believe it has more to do with test scores, not grades, if thats the case I imagine it will be whenever he can re-take SAT/ACT.

tyquan deciding soon has been going on for months. A weekly update that he is deciding soon can only gone on for about 25 more weeks. Givler may get 25 more "scoops" from Lewis.
Many times thought that the rankings are beauty/popularity contests. Have no idea how Morris is a five star, #17 in the country, other than keeping himself in the headlines which strangely declined tremendously after the headlines from others became a problem. Watched him at one of the camps and went 3 and out often. And thats 7 on 7 in shorts. Throws with close coverage were no where close. Anyone wide open he hit consistently. Do not get it. Sorry to those that think differently but we have no worries with that kid wearing ttun colors. Unless his o-line gives him all day in the pocket or things make dramatic improvement which everyone does improve. He just is not anything fantastic in my book. The Alabama commit, I think it was, outplayed him by a mile.
yea morris looked turrible at grid iron kings and the georgia commit outclased him easily. chad henne 2.0 o-4 vs Tosu. he locked on treadwell every time

Shane Morris is the most overrated recruit in the country. Check the stats vs. real competition in pads. Kid shrivels up under heavy pressure, makes mistakes. You don't see that in the 7on7s. He's not Chad Henne 2.0. He's Anthony Morelli 2.0.
But he's also the best recruiter in the country.
Anthony Morelli is exactly the guy that I would think he will end up becoming. Good call.
Dude has a cannon for an arm and hasn't had any college coaching. He seems to have all the tools to make him a very good QB, why don't we wait until he plays a college down before declaring him a bust.
Because he's going to TTUN, duh 8-)
^^^^ true.
Michig*n has a superb track record over the past 30 years of recruiting QB talent out of high school. Possibly only topped by Southern Cal.
Would be wise to see things play out before we label him a Bust. A Buster....sure.

Updated and final
Gonna jump in & say that Shane Morris is obviously doing something right...Sure he's committed to the wrong school, but if he were our guy, we'd be going on & on about him - and we wish we had someone as dedicated to recruiting as him. Just Saying...

All of the accolades that are being praised on Morris is from camp stuff. We will see how good he really is when he travels to Cleveland in week 2 of this high school football season. I have a feeling the St. Ignatius defense is going to put a beating on him. Which after all of the anti Buckeye statements he has made, it will be well deserved.
Not necessarily saying the kid will be a bust. What I am saying however is that he is not the world beater everyone is saying he is now and could easily turn out to be another Morelli. He shows no wow factor that I can see. I've watched these young guys year after year and you see it in the destined great ones. In Morris I see a QB with a big arm. Period. Those really aren't too hard to find. QBs are hard to figure out anyway. To label him as great now as SOME have is very premature. Maybe he should focus on becoming the next Mark Pantoni for ttun as he HAS proven his ability to promote. And yes if for no other reason than support I will tout our guys and refute theirs always. It is in my blood.
I think every recruit in the nation has something to prove and until they perform on the field at the college level no one knows how good a recruit will be. No such thing as a can't miss as I have been around recruiting for a long time and I have seen plenty of really good high school players no play so well at the college level. I also think we have given a TSUN recruit to much attention on an OSU football site who the heck cares what they get and I don't care if they have a higher ranked class because it is all based on potential.
