Football prospects for 2012

[scoop85]

Hi All, First off....Richard Carthon Jr. Is not Maurice's son...I am his summer coach and went to Cornell. He is a very draftable baseball player, but will be going to college...he turned down many D-1 offers (as well as Harvard) To attend Cornell, where he will be playing both football and baseball. He may be the best athlete to attend Cornell ever. He has major league speed and strength... 4.37 in the 40 yard dash and 6.40 in the 60... he is a straight A student in the classroom as well...I am very excited to see him wearing the Big Red Jerseys starting next fall...

I'm thrilled we re getting such a fine athlete.  Now we need some beef along the line of scrimmage!

Can't wait to watch Richard wearing Red in both the fall and spring!

Some talk about the Riders wanting Austin back in Regina.

More a fantasy. He left on top winning the CFL championship.

YouTube videos don't show the quarterback's picks and sacks. But still, what an arm. He is not going to underthrow many receivers. Videos like this suggest things really are looking up for the Big Red.

Cranky, I hear you, but trust me on this one...hope I'm right...watch his YouTube video, he is also rated by MLB Scouting bureau as a 10-15 round draft pick for the upcoming June 2012 MLB Draft...

David probably has a good perspective on this. If I remember right, he played baseball while at Cornell.  Funny story:  I was in a packed TV lounge at High Rise 1 in 1986, watching Game 6 of the World Series.  He was there too, although he probably won't remember me.  During the game, he left the room for something when Mookie Wilson came up to bat and Mookie got a hit (or did something positive).  Then it happened a second time.  So in the 10th, we basically pushed him out of the room and held the door shut until the Mets rallied all the way back.  Thanks for contributing to that historic game!!

I remember that night down in the lounge...who are you? I remember Wayne, and  Alan Flyer, being there

Another rb commitment, Connor Armstrong, Ventura, CA.  5'7" 175.

[Ken711]

Matt Doneth TE 6'5" 235 lbs from Detroit MI committed to Cornell.  Here's an article from October where he talked about some of his other offers.

[Coach J]

This is a great recruiting class for Cornell. This group coupled with the returning letter men will be in the hunt for an Ivy League Champ!
These kids will make and impact immediately.
Fives is a football player.

Unfortunately, Richard Carthon has changed his college commitment and is headed to Tulane.  Hopefully, the other freshmen RBs Cornell is bringing in (Hagy, Armstrong and Nacita) will do well.

Did someone tell him it snowed in Ithaca this week?

He wanted to be closer to his family to attend his games, can't fault him for that. I would have liked to see his speed in the backfield. Coach Austin is a master with offenses so I look forward to seeing what plans they have to balancing their outstanding attack with a decent running threat.

Cornell picked up a great late commitment from an All-State Texas HS dual-threat QB.

Thanks.  Seems like a good guy as well as a good quarterback.

On the radar for Baylor? So what. It's not like Baylor has any history with quarterbacks.
