Saguaro's defenders not content with 1 title

They're a little bigger, a little faster, a little more buffed.

If they weren't hard enough on opponents last season when Saguaro's defensive front was the strength of a 13-1 championship football team, Derek Bisgard, Corey Adams and Chris Merrill are determined to make it harder this year.

Merrill has committed to play at Arizona. Adams, only a junior but the biggest at 6 feet 3, 275 pounds, said he has received offers from UA, ASU, Michigan and Oregon State. He said he will wait until his senior year to make a decision.

Adams already has drawn national recruiting attention. The 6-foot-4, 272-pound strongside defensive end has early offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Michigan, Oregon State. After a sophomore season that saw him rack up 52 tackles, five sacks and one fumble recovery, there are huge expectations for him in the 2007 season. He was one of the best players at the Los Angeles NIKE Training Camp earlier this spring. College scouts love his ability to get after the football, but with his size he could eventually spin down to a defensive tackle on the next level. ?I know I need to get faster to be where I want to be as one of the best in the nation,? Adams said. ?But I?m pleased with where I?m at now. I just have to keep working hard.? Definitely expect Adams to be one of the West?s best prospects in the class of 2009.

Joe Germaine and Joe Brown, both in 1996.

Ohio State was a team he cheered for when he was growing up.

That would be really nice to pull one of the top DT's in the nation for 09. Simon and Adams at DT. Then we could put Hall at OL. The 09 class is already shaping up very nicely with the interest of all of these recruits.

I realize that this is most likely a long shot, but if we were able to pull Simon and Adams we would be set up in the middle of the d-line, and those two would cause many problems for opposing offenses...

Word is it might not be that much of a longshot...info on Simon is tough to come by but some think he is an early Buckeye verbal and Adams is supposedly a big OSU fan.

Does that mean your sources suggesting that he is already a Buckeye silent verbal or that they expect him to commit soon?

I certainly didn't suggest that he is a silent verbal and I don't know what to expect...I just know that several people in Youngstown believe he will eventually end up in Columbus and could join the fold sooner rather than later. That is all I know at this point...

Back to Adams...

[BGriffBuckeye]

So, then would one be safe to assume that an offer is in the works for Corey?

Read the quote in the first post of this thread...I think that is your answer.

Well, alright then, I believe that answers my quesion

Saguaro DL Adams has 7 offers

Saguaro defensive lineman Corey Adams has both feet firmly on the ground. That's a good thing because all of the scholarship offers from major college football programs can put a junior's head in the clouds.

Adams, only two games into his junior season, said he has received seven offers. The latest came from national champion Florida.

That's funny because Adams at one time this summer had "Gator hater" on his cell phone voice message.

"I never hated Florida," Adams said. "I'm an Ohio State fan. The whole Florida thing was because my buddies would keep calling me (and rub it in that Florida beat Ohio State in the national championship game)."

Adams' other offers have come from Arizona State, Arizona, Oregon, Oregon State, Michigan and Nebraska.

He said he's not waiting for Ohio State to come around to offer, adding, "I'm not looking for any particular school."
