Just relaying what I have been told...either way, I would be surprised to see him leave the West.

Barkley was the best QB regardless of class at the NIKE Camp at Stanford. Visited Cal after the camp and the Golden Bears offered, joining Colorado, Florida State and Stanford.

USC has offered. Likely won't commit until before the start of his senior season.

This one is over...grad can we get a 2009 forum started up for this thread?

Wondering if/when Hawkins is gonna start making some serious noise in Boulder recruiting-wise. They pulled in a pretty decent class this year.

Montana to award Barkley

FOOTBALL: Hall of Fame quarterback will present Newport Beach resident with inaugural honor at the Outback Bowl on Tuesday.

Matt Barkley, a Newport Beach resident and quarterback of the Mater Dei High football team, has been named the winner of the inaugural Joe Montana Quarterback of the Year award.

The honor, given to the nation’s best high school quarterback, will be presented to Barkley by Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana on Tuesday at the Outback Bowl (Tennessee vs. Wisconsin) in Tampa, Fla.

In addition to Montana, the award is also selected and presented by Steve Clarkson, president of DeBartolo Sports University.

Barkley, the only junior finalist for the award among six other high school quarterbacks, was evaluated through DeBartolo Sports University’s scouting division, comprised of former college and NFL coaches.

“Matt Barkley is an outstanding quarterback and his performance on the field is exceptional,” Montana said in a press release. “We’re pleased to give our first award to Barkley and see great things from him in the future.”

Is he still a USC lock? I doubt he would come to tOSU regardless, but just curious.

Is he still a USC lock? I doubt he would come to tOSU regardless, but just curious.

Much like the Rodriguez hire at UM sparked a heated recruiting battle with the main rival , and for a potentially impact QB, I would think that Neuheisel's hire at UCLA just might start the same. UCLA needs a QB, early playing time is "guaranteed", Barkley can be the catalyst for the program, and, so on... But, in the end, Petey gets his number one guy.
