“Jarrid Bryant, a 6-4, 185-pound wide receiver from Salisbury Prep School in Salisbury, Connecticut, … originally attended Corona (Calif.) Centennial High School where he was a star basketball player. He did not play football as a senior in high school. Teammates from Centennial High School at ASU include current players Ryan Bass, Shelly Lyons and Brandon McGee and fellow 2009 signing classmates Vontaze Burfict and William Sutton. Bryant becomes the 20th high schooler in ASU’s 2009 recruiting class.”

As for Las Vegas this year, I write about this shit all day long. There are three guys from Southern Nevada that could have really helped ASU out. One is defensive end Justin Chaisson, a No. 73 overall player on Rivals, who signed with Oklahoma. I know for a fact ASU was after him but his top four were the Sooners, Florida, USC and LSU so he didn’t give us much of a chance. Another is cornerback Torin Harris from state runner up Palo Verde who signed with USC. I know ASU was after him too. He isn’t top 100 but he was one of the first three guys USC offered a scholarship for this year because he ran like the wind at one of their camps. Last is a four-star defensive end named Keenan Graham who signed with UCLA. We’ll see him in the future. AND the Devils recruited him too. They are already pretty deep in Las Vegas, I promise you that. However, I am pretty sure they didn’t give Keola Antolin a look, who is another Gorman product who, as we know, played well at running back for the ‘Cats as a true freshman this year.

For the life of me I can’t figure out why ASU doesn’t have a huge presence in the San Diego scene in all sports. Today the San Diego Union-Tribune published a list of all county high school students who signed a letter of intent. The list is, as you can imagine, quite long and contains a whos-who of universities. Unfortunately, only two of these students signed a l-o-i to enter ASU in fall 2009: one baseball player and one volleyball player.

This area is ripe for the picking.
