Looks like Tim Spencer has a top prospect son...

Juniors to watch

Vernon Hills coach Tony Monken has two of the best junior prospects in the area, and both have good bloodlines. They are WR DaVaris Daniels, whose father, Philip, played for the Bears, and RB Tim Spencer, whose father, Tim, played at Ohio State and is the Bears? running backs coach. Daniels has offers from Illinois, Miami, Wisconsin and Nebraska and Spencer from Wisconsin and Nebraska.

Report: Bears assistant Spencer talks to MSU
January 20, 2010
By Brad Biggs

One down and four to go, or so we think.

Lovie Smith has made one hire so far as he begins Day 15 of the coaching search at Halas Hall, and four positions remain unfilled. Could another opening arise?

Running backs coach Tim Spencer has spoken to Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio about the vacant running backs coach position on the Spartans' staff, according to FootballCoachScoop.com.

Spencer is an original member of Smith's staff. He left Ohio State after 10 seasons as an assistant for the Buckeyes to join the Bears in 2004. He was one of two assistants on the offensive side of the ball to survive the Jan. 5 purge along with wide receivers coach Darryl Drake.

The report indicated that Michigan State also was considering Reggie Mitchell (Kansas) and Sedrick Irvin (Memphis) to replace Dan Enos, who left to become the head coach at Central Michigan. Irvin, a who played at Michigan State, accepted his position at Memphis less than two weeks ago.

Spencer's son Evan is a junior at Vernon Hills High and is a highly recruited wide receiver who is getting significant interest from Big Ten programs. Tim Spencer played at Ohio State.

Bears' Spencer beaming over OSU-bound son
June 23, 2010
By Vaughn McClure

While former Bears defensive end Phillip Daniels' son, DaVaris, delayed making a college decision, his Vernon Hills teammate made a Bears' assistant coach one very proud papa.

Evan Spencer, who mans the other Vernon Hills receiver spot opposite the younger Daniels, recently gave a verbal commitment to Ohio State. It's the same school where his father, Bears running backs coach Tim Spencer, was a star running back in the early 1980s.

"I'm pretty excited about it and feel blessed,'' Tim Spencer said. "He's worked his butt off and prepared for this. He still has his senior year left, but he wanted to get it out of the way."

The elder Spencer said he never pressured his son to join the Buckeyes, although he did demand one school be eliminated from the process.

"Our only stipulation was there was some school north of Columbus (Ohio) -- I can't really remember the name and sometimes I have trouble saying it," Tim Spencer said with a laugh, referring to Ohio State's rival, Michigan.

The Wolverines never approached Evan Spencer, knowing it was a long shot with both of his parents Ohio State grads. In the end, Spencer picked the Buckeyes over Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Iowa.

Coach Spencer said he let go of his dream of developing another star running back long ago.

"Evan actually started off as a running back in Pee-Wee,'' Spencer said. "I can't remember exactly when he told me he wanted to be a receiver. I kind of bucked a little bit.

"But I let it go when I saw him catch the ball, with his hands. Then when I started showing him various routes, I saw he was a good route-runner, too.

"I hope he gets to the NFL ... and hopefully I'm still coaching by then. But I don't know if he would want to be on my team. I'd have a chance to look at him every day."
