The Cal thing was unfortunate, however nothing came of the allegations at UW. He's now been promoted as the OLB coach at Bama. He might just end up a DC sometime.Originally posted by NCSF:
He can sell ice to Eskimos. The Folsom OT is from the south and was a foregone conclusion he would play ball that way. Tosh was able to sell Cal because he was a Cal grad. He lost his credibility after that with his actions at Cal and UW. By the way, I was his biggest fan and would have loved to see him become the DC at Cal one day.
Does Custer have any offers? Although he lacks the top end speed, he is a very fluid and balanced runner. I could see him playing DB in college. I dont see him getting an offer from SC. Maybe land an offer from the lower end pac12 teams. He will definitely play at the next level though.
PG- You just can't do that at the high D1 level. Too much wear and tear physically impossible. Guys like Jackson, Juju Smith aren't getting smacked every play.I agree but it's always a first time for everything. Why not Boss.
He is too short to be a DB. I saw Parker from Pittsburg chase him down pretty easily from behind. He is quick and has nice balance but won't break tackles and lacks a fifth gear. Hope he physically matures and gets some more strength and explosiveness.Does Custer have any offers? Although he lacks the top end speed, he is a very fluid and balanced runner.

Since when do you think he is actually more than 5'7 in cleats? He breaks high school tackles because he is quick and they are arm tackles. I said that he was a talented runner with good vision and acceleration. Bottom line- you need a fifth gear or move piles to play at a PAC 12 type school. Maybe he takes that next step but there's a reason why his offer list is what it is. Oh btw, short corners (5'8-5'9) are few and far between at that level. Go watch Parker- that's what they look like.Since when is 5'8-5'9 too short to play DB? There are DBs that size that get recruited to almost all the D1 programs every year..It is short for the position but it isnt like he is 5'6. He is pretty good in coverage..I just watched his highlight tape and the kid breaks a ton of tackles. Obviously at the next level it will be a little different where everyone is bigger and faster but he is a talented runner. I agree not having that fifth gear is going to hurt him. Although his top speed isnt anything special he has good acceleration. I agree with bubba I think Mt West will more then likely be his landing spot.

I don't really disagree with you and I don't think you really disagree with me. I like him but don't see him playing Corner in college. His skill set is as a RB. If he gets a fifth gear, I think he gets bigger offers. He has good vision and balance.I know everyones listed height is slightly higher than their actual height. However, its the same when you look at college rosters. You can go to almost every single pac12 roster and find DBs listed 5'8-5'9. I can guaranteed they arent all that tall. I dont think he could play DB at a pac12 school but he could easily at a big sky school. He probably wont be able to break as many college arm tackles like I acknowledged players are bigger and stronger but he will break some because he has such good balance and quickness. Oh btw, there are players that arent the prototypical height for their positions that play every single Saturday. Just because you arent the prototypical height doesnt mean you dont have a chance. Your chances arent as good to play at the elite level but there are many that do it.

2nd chance at UW?
He was recruited away with an offer that was about 3x his salary that he gave Tedford an opportunity to respond to
Don't know what's going on/ went down at UW, but the guy that hired him left and people tend to start scrambling
I watched four games in person and the state game on TV. You are making him sound like MJD- he's not. He's an outstanding high school running back but breaking tackles against HS kids is a lot different than at a PAC 12 type level. There's a reason why his recruiting list is what it is. He's not an inside runner at the next level and needs another gear to be effective. I like the kid and hope he gets more explosive.You must not have seen Custer run last year very much. Custer breaks ALOT of tackles due to his strength, explosiveness, exceptional pad level and great balance. The arm tackles comment is false.
Your numbers are way off. Just an FYI, Cal gave him a substantial raise to counter UW and he still left wearing his Cal polo while recruiting guys towards UW, in the middle of the night. What went down at UW is that he paid for a kid to go to an SAT course among other things but it was never proven. Do you really think the coach who brought him there wouldn't have taken him to USC unless he knew he was damaged goods?2nd chance at UW?

Stick to the topic (who said anything about MJD). You claimed Custer was breaking arm tackles after watching 4 games. DLS is playing top tier HS football teams- not sure why you would mention PAC 12 teams- and breaking lots of tackles (not just of the arm variety). The veer offense requires the RB's to make defenders miss and as you should have observed, DLS coaches demand a north-south running approach which puts Custer inside the tackles alot. Thus, the DLS backs take defenders head on on alot and not simply breaking "arm tackles". Somehow Custer ran for 1,900 yd's at over 10 yd's per carry by breaking arm tackles and lacking a fifth gear. Yikes.
I dont know if I would bring MJD into this discussion anyway. MJD was under recruited coming out of DLS and who knows, Custer may end up the same way (under recruited)
PJ like most folks here I like and respect Custer. The fact he has no offers yet speaks volumes about how recruiters think he projects at the next level. As much visibility on the big stage that he gets at DLS makes the under recruited label had to buy. I predict a couple of 1AA big sky offers late in his senior campaign.
Never said Custer was under recruited. We can't objectively make that claim until he plays college ball.
Visibility at DLS did not help MJD much.
In this day, if you can play, scouts will find you. Sometimes they miss tho. I wouldn't be so certain that someone is a hit or miss 4 months before their senior year. That is naive.
Thank you for theIt was alleged that Tosh provided money for tutoring and on line classes to help a 4* kid meet academic qualifications. The NCAA issued no sanctions to anybody on the matter, but it kept Tosh from landing at USC with Sarkisian. All in all it was a really odd story, and the timing was suspect as all hell.
Paul- A couple clarifications- Maurice was not under recruited. He was recruited by the majority of PAC 12 schools. I brought him up because you are making Custer sound like Drew, and he's not. He's not going to run between the tackles at the next level-period! Just an FYI, I know that offense chapter and verse. To say that it's designed to make the defense miss is laughable. What offense do you know doesn't. Conversely, it's designed to not worry about missing but hitting the A gap on a counter, B gap on the dive, and C gap on the outside veer TE side. Theres's no "making guys miss". You don't dance- you hit that hole.Stick to the topic (who said anything about MJD). You claimed Custer was breaking arm tackles after watching 4 games.

Simple Bubba- They don't know what they are talking about. Most of them have no sense of history. Some do- and they are appreciated.Having just been through the recruiting process with my own son most offers come before the end of one's junior year. In regard to MJD not sure how offers from Oregon, USC, UCLA, Cal and Colorado qualifies as under recruited?
