The Bleacher Report 2013 Summer Uncommitted Recruit All-Star Team

With summer being here, college football recruiting is at its unofficial halfway point, and I figured we'd recap just a bit. The trend of the past few cycles has been to commit early to ensure your spot in a recruiting class.

Well, for this read I'm going to give you a group of recruits who are bucking that trend, but I'm going to make it an all-star team. So this is the official Bleacher Report 2013 Summer Uncommitted Recruit All-Star team.

Here's a team of recruits who are still not committed that I would take and assemble a team with.

CB: Vonn Bell

Sure, I know Bell is a safety first and more of cornerback-only-in-a-pinch type of recruit. Yet, I want this guy on my team, period.

At 6'1", 190 pounds, he has among the quickest close-and-drive on the ball of any DB in the nation. Bell has excellent ball vision and ball skills and jumps passing lanes like they owe him money.

He can play some CB or either safety spot for you and can factor versus the run with good hitting ability. Right now, I think Bell ends up in the SEC or at Ohio State.

FS: Max Redfield

Redfield is a classic free safety and exactly what you want in a traditional last-line defender. He stands 6'2" and nearly 200 pounds, hailing from Southern California.

A rangy, uber-athletic, speedy and natural interceptor, Redfield is so athletic and his ball skills are so good that playing WR in college is not out of the question. However, he has a chance to be a great FS who becomes an all-conference player.

I say look for schools such as USC, LSU, Washington and Oregon among others to be in the hunt.

SS: Antonio Conner

Conner has been a star on the Mississippi high school football circuit since his freshman year at South Panola. Today, he is among the best overall players in the country.

At 6'2", 200 pounds, Conner is a great athlete, reads and reacts well versus the run and has excellent speed. I think he fits best as a SS that can factor in the box and help versus the pass.

When his coverage awareness and route recognition improve just a bit more, Conner should be a star in college, which I expect to be at Ole Miss.

CB: Vernon Hargreaves III

Hargreaves is the No. 1 CB prospect in the country and is from Florida. He's 5'11", 185 pounds and really is a "plug and play" prospect.

Hargreaves has excellent technique, instincts, awareness and smarts for the CB position. He won't backpedal too quickly to get himself out of control; rather, than he'll mirror and adjust at the line or slow-play in off-coverage.

He has excellent hips to turn and run, plant and drive, and close down on the ball. I think he ends up at either Florida or South Florida.

LB: Alex Anzalone

Anzalone is a Pennsylvania native who can play all three spots in a 4-3 as a LB. He goes in the 6'3", 225-pound range and plays with good athleticism and toughness.

Anzalone has good instincts, ball vision and doesn't waste much time with blockers. His speed is solid enough to where he can play on the flanks and in space.

Yet, Anzalone also can hold his own in alleys and blitz effectively. Right now, I think he ends up at Florida, but many schools are still in the hunt.

LB: Michael Hutchings

Hutch is getting close to making his announcement, and I think it'll either be USC or Washington.

A 6'1", 210-pounder from Northern California, Hutchings is a great second-level defender who also could play SS in college. He shows great range, good pursuit speed, ball-locate skills and some ability to hold his own in coverage.

Look for Hutchings to be able to play all three downs in college.

LB: Matthew Thomas

A Miami native, Thomas should be a standout on the college level. He's a 6'3", 210-pound OLB prospect who is very scheme versatile at this point.

In a 4-3 alignment, Thomas can fit at either Sam or Will and play well on the flanks. In a 3-4 set, he can be a rush end/OLB-type and crash off the edge down after down.

No matter what he does, I expect Thomas to be a stud. At this point, he could opt to stay home and play at Miami or head over to Alabama.

DE: Demarcus Walker

Walker is a 6'4" DL who weighs nearly 280 pounds. From Florida, Walker can play either DT or DE and excel at either spot due to his size and quickness off the ball.

Walker can shoot gaps in the interior with ease and has a good surge finishing plays. He shows good strength to anchor versus the run but is better as a playmaker on the attack.

Scout.com has Walker's top eight as: Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, LSU,Tennessee and USC.

DT: Eddie Vanderdoes

Vanderdoes' game is pure, brute strength. He's a 6'4" DT who is close to 300 pounds and probably is the strongest player on this team.

He shows solid snap quickness, a good fight to pressure and escape blocks and solid short-area phone-booth pursuit quickness. He easily holds up and anchors versus the run and can squeeze the middle of the pocket as a pass-rusher.

Vanderdoes is still fairly open to about 15 schools at this point, but I think Oregon wins in the long run.

DT: Montravius Adams

Adams is a contrasting player to Vanderdoes, which is why a combination of these two in the middle would be deadly on a defensive front.

From Georgia, Adams is a 6'3", 285-pounder who shoots gaps with excellent snap quickness and is a gap-penetrating type. He has solid strength and great hand quickness.

His technique needs some refinement, but look for Adams to be a great starter somewhere in the SEC or at Clemson.

DE: Tim Williams

Williams goes in the 6'3", 230-pound range and is a terror on the edges. He shows an explosive first step, a great fight to squeeze the pocket from the perimeter and can finish on the passer with ease.

Williams can chase from the backside in pursuit to combat the run and has some toughness to take on blocks head on. I think he could be an early-career DPR-type player while adding strength to develop into a full-time starter.

LSU is my pick, but he has many suitors. 

OT: Nico Falah

Falah is a 6'5", 270-pounder who is a natural pass protector. He shows great setup quickness, foot agility and balance in his sets.

He can ride and wash a rusher past the pocket or kick inside and finish on a slip. Falah has good second-level ability in the run game and flashes production at hitting moving targets.

He'll wind up at either USC, UCLA or Oregon. 

OG: Khaliel Rodgers

Rodgers is a 6'3", 300-pound interior OL prospect from Maryland. He has great size already and probably will get up to the 315-pound range easily in college.

He was set to announce his choice this month, but that has been delayed. However, he told Scout.com that his main options are Auburn, USC, Ohio State, Ole Miss, UCLA, West Virginia and UConn.

OC: Scott Quessenberry

Quessenberry is a California native who can fire off the ball and jump on top of a target at the snap. At 6'4", 265 pounds, he plays OT now but should fit in as an OC in college.

He plays with a mean streak and looks to finish each block something nasty. He can jump up to get up on a linebacker on the second level and fights to do everything he can to protect his passer.

247Sports.com lists his favorites as Nebraska, UCLA, Oregon and Wisconsin.

OG: Tyrone Crowder

Crowder hails from the Carolina region and plays at 6'2", 325 pounds. He's a classic OG prospect, showing a mean streak on the field.

Very powerful and strong, Crowder has excellent sustainability to latch onto his targets and steer them where he wants them to go. He's solid athletically and protects his passer well in a phone booth.

Alabama, Clemson, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia are his top five per 247Sports.com.

OT: Laremy Tunsil

At 6'6", 295 pounds, Tunsil is the top OL prospect in the country and has LT potential. He has an excellent looking frame and moves very easily for his size.

His technique and strength need improving, yet he does have an extraordinarily huge upside. Tunsil has good length, quick feet, agility, balance, adjustability and a good drive to improve and get better.

I think he lands at Florida, Georgia or Alabama. 

TE: Hunter Henry

Henry hails from Arkansas and is a big 6'6", 240-pound TE. He has a huge frame and is thickly built, which will allow him to hold up while playing in line.

Yet, Henry has soft hands and great ball skills to be flexed out. He can snatch balls all around his frame, boasting a huge strike zone. Sound quickness and good speed round out his game in the seams.

He'll play in the SEC.

WR: Robert Foster

Foster is excellent in releasing off the line, as the 6'2", 190-pounder from Pennsylvania can flat out fly.

He shows a surge off the line, quick feet to avoid corners in press, on-the-move avoidability in traffic during his route running, great separation quickness in his cuts and will get the football.

Foster is great after the catch, showing natural run instincts, speed and elusiveness. Look for Pitt and Penn State to slug it out with Alabama and Florida.

WR: Ricky Seals-Jones

Recently de-committing from Texas, RS-J makes this list easily. At 6'5" and close to 220 pounds, he is just a great playmaker who can get the job done.

His length, athleticism, good speed, solid quickness, agility and ability to high-point balls over defenders can just menace a secondary. He needs to work on his route running since he's not a full-time WR, yet Seals-Jones has the potential to be great.

RB: Derrick Green

Green is a Virginia native who plays RB and stands 6'0", weighing close to 220 pounds. He can attack downhill out of his stance and start, and he shows great run strength to bully a defense with the ball.

Yet, Green doesn't want to just be viewed as a big back, as he shows great foot quickness and a burst to and through holes. He can pop a long run and get yards in chunks, but Green is a bell-cow back through and through.

RB: Derrick Henry

A 6'3", 240-pound RB with excellent speed and elusiveness, Henry is one of the most intriguing prospects in this class.

He moves easily for a big back but runs like a speedster. In fact, the knock on Henry is that he doesn't run behind his pads well enough for a back of his size.

Yet, when you're that fast, quick and elusive, you may not need to. He'll be at Georgia or Alabama. 

QB: Johnny Stanton

Stanton, a tough son of a gun, is a Southern California native who plays the QB spot like a gunslinger. He knows he has a strong arm and will get the ball to targets with   quick release.

He needs to refine his mechanics a bit, he shows good athleticism and can escape the rush to get outside the pocket. In fact, you can easily view the 6'2", 220-pound Stanton as a dual-threat QB because he can kill a defense with his legs.

Per Scout.com, Oregon, Utah, Oregon State, Nebraska, USC and Wisconsin are in the hunt.
