Green Run coach Jeff McGowan has a new group of studs that could take them far this fall. One of them is one of the Beach’s less heralded prospects: defensive end Shaun James. James is a converted basketball player who’s still getting his feet wet on the gridiron. James held four offers going into the weekend. Now, it looks like a failed 7 on 7 tournament led to his fifth offer.

Richmond bags their first commit from the 757! Jahlil Green of Lafayette had been racking up scholarship offers like he racked up yardage last season. The transfer from West Point quickly caught the eye of college coaches this spring after such a productive junior season. Green rushed for 1,546 yards and 20 TDs last season, in addition to playing on the defensive side of the ball. He held ten offers when he made his verbal commitment on Wednesday, just before the holiday weekend.

Norview High School Football has seen a lot of turn over in the head coaching position. Coach Robert Toran was the last coach that lasted more than a season, and he left in early 2010. Toran coached the team through some good years, but despite Greg Gibson’s strong run in 2011, the Pilots have been sorely missing much needed consistency at the top. That should change now with the arrival of Dealton Cotton.
