What's up with all the early QB commits? By my quick count only 21 of the top 100 players nationally have pulled the trigger, but Perrilloux makes it 7 of the top 8 QBs.

(The #13 QB is also commited to Texas BTW.)

Sears posted this in March. You nailed it Sears, good job.



Look for Texas to be a major player for Ryan's services as they were shunned by all their QB recruitng targets last year. Throw in the fact that they do not have anyone behind Vince Young after Chance Mock graduates next year and Perilloux will be one of the Horn's top priorities. There's also a small possibility VY could declare early for the NFL draft (some local buzz I've heard here).

Nice call on Perrilloux, Sears.

Do you really think Vince Young can go pro early? I don't think he makes reads or throws well enough to play QB in the NFL yet. Does the buzz that he would leave early have him going as a QB or RB?

I'll be surpised if he doesn't play 3 more years at Texas.

Perrilloux mixing up his signals Prep QB '60-40 in favor of Texas'

One day after telling The Advocate he didn't plan to make public his college choice until after the 2004 football season, blue-chip quarterback Ryan Perrilloux told at least two media outlets Monday he's committed to the University of Texas.
Perrilloux, who will be a senior this season at East St. John High School in Laplace, continued to send mixed signals. He visited with LSU coaches at Nick Saban's camp and said he planned to use all five of his official visits allowed under NCAA rules -- including a return trip to LSU.

In the morning, Perrilloux told Rivals.com, a national network of Web sites specializing in college recruiting, he committed Sunday to Texas quarterbacks coach Greg Davis at a summer camp in California.

In the afternoon, Perrilloux told Richard Condon, the host of "Condon's Corner" on radio station WIBR-AM, 1300, he's "committed to Texas." Pressed by Condon to say how strong his commitment is, Perrilloux said it's "60-40" in favor of Texas.

Nailing down Perrilloux's status, more than six months before the Feb. 2 start of the national signing period, has been elusive, to say the least. His statements Monday came a day after he repeatedly insisted he would make no such announcement until after the season.

The Times-Picayune in New Orleans, which closely covers East St. John and recruiting, quoted Perrilloux in its Monday editions as saying he might decide during the season or wait until it ends.

Perrilloux did not return phone calls Monday afternoon and evening.

East St. John coach Larry Dauterive, who spent the last week saying a commitment was imminent, seemed puzzled by Perrilloux's actions.

"If he said he's going to Texas, why is he at LSU today?" Dauterive said. "Maybe that's the 40 percent of doubt in his mind. Maybe that's why he said it's 60-40, but that 40 percent could be split between four schools."

On his Web site -- www.Ryan11.com -- Perrilloux lists Florida State, Michigan and

even though tOSU is not involved, it should be fun to see how this one plays out :biggrin:

I don't think he's ready at all Bill for the very same reasons you outlined. He still has a very long way to go to develop as a passing QB. He was pulled on a few occassions last year in favor of Chance Mock when Texas was behind and needed to throw the ball.

They all have him going as a QB and not a RB.

The Texas board was entertaining. Mack Brown finally wins a big game, and his own board is calling him 'only a recruiter'. And they're bitching about the ones that got away.

But a late decommit from such a big time player would be a bitch to take. Hopefully we'll give them something even more meaningful to be sad about in the 'Shoe in September.

Scout.com Player of the Year - Ryan Perrilloux!

<TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=0 width="98%" align=center border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>Scout.com Player of the Year - Ryan Perrilloux!
By Jamie Newberg National Recruiting Analyst
Date: Feb 1, 2005

Ryan Perrilloux was named National High School Player of the Year by Scout.com, whose team of scouts and recruiting analysts chose the La Place, Louisiana, quarterback over several other elite prospects, including running back Antone Smith, linebacker Brian Cushing, quarterback Mark Sanchez and others.
</TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=3>
The third annual Scout.com National Player of Year goes to quarterback Ryan Perrilloux. Perrilloux, from La Place (La.) East Saint John High School, had a magical season, passing for 3,546 yards (225/342) and 30 touchdown passes and running for 1,460 yards (226 carries) and 37 touchdowns. He accounted for 69 total touchdowns and finished his career second in total yards for the state of Louisiana behind Brock Berlin with 12,705 yards. Perrilloux also returned kicks and played a little defense in leading his team to the third round of the playoffs, the best in school history.

“I am so honored just to be recognized for this award,” said Perrilloux. “Did you see who won it in the past? It’s an honor to receive it. I called my mom, brother and sister and told them. I am amazed. I really am.”

The first two Scout.com National Player of the Year award winners were Chris Leak (Florida) and Teddy Ginn, Jr. (Ohio State).

“The numbers speak for themselves,” said Scott Kennedy of Scout.com. “Those numbers are mind-blogging. He did it in the air and on the ground. Ryan has all the tools you can possibly look for in today’s quarterback and he can beat you in so many ways.”

This award is not given to the nation’s top prospect. Rather, it is given to a great prospect who had a great senior season on the field. Perrilloux edged out running back Antone Smith (Pahokee, Fla.), linebacker Brian Cushing (Oradell, N.J.), and quarterback Mark Sanchez (Mission Viejo, Calif.).

Perrilloux is currently listed as the nation’s No. 2 overall prospect and No. 2 quarterback according to Scout.com. He is a member of the Scout.com 2nd Team All-American Team. “Ryan was on an average team with 19 new starters,” said East Saint John Head Coach Larry Dauterive. “He’s the most competitive person I have ever been around. Ryan wants the ball in his hand with the game on the line. He has ‘it’, was just born to be special and destined for greatness.” Perrilloux committed to Texas back in July of last year. And he did that for two reasons; he felt Texas was the best place for him and he wanted to get the coaches off his back. At that time he was sitting on seven dozen scholarship offers. All along Perrilloux knew he wanted to visit five schools – Texas, LSU, Mississippi State, Florida State and Miami. Eventually, he only got to three – the Longhorns, Bulldogs and Tigers. Perrilloux says that he will shock the world tomorrow with his decision. He will make his announcement at 9:01 a.m. eastern time. LSU will prove tough to beat.

They are doing well today...I think yesterday took it out of the guys.

The only argument is over the Dennis Kennedy article that basically says tOSU screwed him.

In all fairness, if you delve into the situation, you can see why the fans are so ticked, and wishing nothing but ill on Perilloux. Is it immature? Probably. But the seeming fact is that Mack Brown and the UT staff knew that a committal to LSU (or even Miss. St.) was a possibility based on his travels and words, so they had a face-to-face, no-hard-feelings-if-you're-going talk a few weeks ago in which they needed to know whether he was going to honor his commit or not. Obviously, they want to land a QB this year, so they wanted to know the truth about what they should do. He (apparently) told the UT staff that he was a solid commit. I mean, what do you do as a staff if this is what you're hearing?

Based on what Alan was saying before about Gwaltney, it seems like the same thing happened to Petey. Alan all but came out and said that Gwaltney was lying to people, based on the fact that he wanted to please everyone.

So UT and USC exclusively recruit ONE player at premier "talent" positions, based on what they are hearing from said recruits. They get spurned and burned. (Side note: I don't feel too bad for Texas or SC.)

Bottom line in college football: Don't overextend yourself in promises to a recruit and say that you are only going to bring in one player at his position for that class. You just can't do it.
