Aaron Wimberly now has visit scheduled for Boise State on 12-7

For all we know, CPR might have told him to look elsewhere since we have other commits and a JC running back is probably not our highest need.

2012 Bowl Preview: NJCAA National Championship Game - NJCAA | News | National
heres another article on the championship game. Also at the beginning there is a link to watch thee game live @ 3:00

Thanks.

Here is today's article, mostly about former St. Alberts QB and current K-State recruit, Jake Waters:

NJCAA Championship: IWCC's Waters looking to earn another UNI-Dome win - SouthwestIowaNews.com: Sports

... He’ll take the field at the UNI-Dome for his biggest game to date Sunday as his top-ranked Reivers meet No. 2 Butler, Kan., for the NJCAA championship in the Graphic Edge Bowl.

“It’s definitely special,” Waters said. “I ended my high school career there with a state championship. And now I can end my junior college career with a national championship in the same spot. It’s definitely special to have that opportunity.”

No matter the outcome Sunday, this has been a season to remember for the local star.

As the trigger man for an up-tempo attack that leads the country in total offense and points per game, Waters has thrown for 3,194 yards and a national-best 39 touchdowns. He’s been intercepted only three times in 293 attempts this year, and his completion percentage (72.4) is above the current NJCAA record (71.1 percent) set by Terrance Cain of Blinn, Texas, in 2007.

“He’s been deadly accurate,” Iowa Western coach Scott Strohmeier said. “He knows what he’s going to do with the football. He’s seeing things before they come open.”

Through 11 games, Waters has thrown for 300 yards or more five times. He also has seven games with four or more touchdown passes. Those are stunning numbers considering he left nearly every game early because the Reivers already had a victory well in hand.

People have taken notice. Penn State, Kansas State and North Carolina State are among the NCAA Division I programs that have offered scholarships to Waters this fall.

The recruiting attention wasn’t there when he was graduating from St. Albert in 2010. Even though he was 37-2 as a starter with 5,288 career passing yards and two state titles, the only offer for Waters, other than at Iowa Western, was as a walk-on at D-II Northwest Missouri State. ...

I still can't figure out why ISU or Iowa didn't go after Jake Waters?

He's visiting another school? Big deal. Even the Amish get to visit the big city before they have to decide to whether they want to commit to not wearing buttons but having cool hats and having your homies agree that you really look good in black (fool)...

Because they think he is not as good as what they will have returning?

Good guess.

. . . These kids are looking out for their own good, as they should. I actually think it's smart for a kid to make a "soft verbal" early on to a school they like, just to secure that scholarship. And then take more trips after that just to make sure you made the right decision, or in case better offers come calling. Wimberly has had the security of knowing he's got ISU in his back pocket if nothing else pans out. . . .

If the kid's commitment to a school is soft, why would the school's commitment to the kid be solid? If the kid is looking around, I sure hope my favorite school is continuing to look around, too.

If a kid's not solid, he has nothing in his back pocket, does he?

You saying the Amish are recruiting him now too?

[CyDude16]

LOL sooo much hypocrisy.

[isucy86]

Its more important for Wembley to make the right decision, college choices are probably one of the top 5 decisions we make inour lives.

I think the key is how Wembley handled the decision to re-open his recruitment. If he was up front with ISU coaches and let them know b4 visiting PSU- he handled properly. If ISU is still recruiting Wembley, that indicates to me he didn't burn bridges and handled it right.

[jdoggivjc]

Not a big deal- he has named us as the leader and I assume CPR and Co are continuing to recruit like he is not a commit. It only gets tricky if he waits until right before signing to decide, but that is why you over-sign.

Your "not a big deal" is in the same vein as my "big deal".

IMO I don't think he will sign with the Amish. Their facilities aren't very good.

But you can do all the breeding you want.

TCU would be a kick in the ***. Would make me want to smash them more.
