About

I have worked in Player Personnel and Scouting Departments for the New York Giants, Cleveland Browns and ol' Las Vegas Gladiators (now in Cleveland) in the Arena League, and turned down two college coaching jobs. I served as the Scouting Coordinator at Student Sports Football (now called ESPN RISE) and have had my scouting reports, scouting articles and other content on WeAreSC.com, GaitorBait.net and NMPreps.com among an array other sites.

My work has also been featured on various satellite websites in cities like San Antonio and Seattle and others. I have a tremendous amount of experience in evaluating football talent ranging from my experience in the NFL down to prep stars and I have served as a sportswriter for various websites.

I've been a fan of CFB recruiting since I was 11 years old and remember when Lorenzo Booker committed to Notre Dame on NSD and backed out for FSU. I watched Maurice Jones-Drew kill Long Beach Poly at De La Salle, Matt Leinart almost beat De La Salle by himself at Mater Dei and remember before the Army Game and Under Armour Game, the big high school all-star game was the Cali-Florida Bowl, and many other moments in recruiting through the years. I will be working with Bleacher Report as a College Football Recruiting Analyst.

    Why is no one, even Bleacher Report, speculating on who the next Offensive Coordinator/QB coach for Florida State is going to be... I'd love to see a list of potential candidates, likelyhood of their coming and qualifications.

    Lane Kiffin is one of your favorite coaches, really now. After that one, I believe you lost all cedibility.

    Edwin, can you help me out? I am totally at a loss as to how many recruits you can get in one year.I thought and have read 25 but I am seeing some say the ncaa changed it to 28 to go along with a change made by the SEC. Who controls the limits and what are they?

    Ed, I don't know how old your list is, but you missed 5-star defensive end DeMarcus Walker's early enrollment to FSU after the switch from Bama. Was kind of a big story. Do like the Dodger hat though.

    Hey Eddie, couldn't help but to notice you left the nations #1 recruiting class of 2013 off of your list (ALABAMA), but I would not have expected anything less from a West Coast Fruit Cake

    It seems as though every recruiting article involving Robert Nkemdiche talks about Ole Miss, Alabama, and Clemson. However, following his committment to Clemson, RN himself said that LSU was second in that race. Further, as it stands now, it is an LSU/Ole Miss battle. Something no one on Bleacher Report ever talks about. Here is one example of a recruiting article pointing this out: http://highschoolsports.nola.com/news/article/4635337188567037022/lsu-ole-miss-leading-pack-for-no-1-recruit-robert-nkemdiche/

    Thanks.
