Caleb Rowe threw 6 TD passes to lead Blue Ridge to 2-0 record.

This is a pretty typical quiet period, with coaches and recruits more concerned with the games on the fields. Obviously a showing like we had on Monday, on a national stage, doesn't hurt at all.

Junior RB David Williams off to hot start

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

David Williams was third on West Catholic's (Pa.) running back depth chart last year, has never rushed for 1,000 yards and is only two games into his junior season but already has several offers.

In fact, before he took the first hand off of his junior campaign or stepped foot on Notre Dame's campus, the Fighting Irish were still comfortable enough to offer the Philadelphia back a scholarship.

"I was pretty excited," Williams said. "It caught me off guard. I was supposed to go visit but my flight got bumped. I figured they would wait longer and wouldn't offer me until I came down."

David Williams already has offers from Notre Dame, UConn, Maryland, Pitt, Rutgers, Temple and Virginia.

Williams has been off to a hot start this year. Though the Burrs sit at 0-2, it isn't because of a lack of production from Williams, who ran for 124 yards and a touchdown in the season opener. He followed that with a 206-yard performance against Archbishop Wood, a PIAA Class AAA semifinalist last year.

It is performances like those two that have a host of schools interested. Auburn, Oregon, California, Florida, Penn State and Vanderbilt have all sent him mail, including a multitude of others Williams couldn't remember off the top of his head.

In addition to the Irish, Connecticut, Maryland, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Temple and Virginia have all verbally offered the 6-foot-1, 190-pound back. Williams has visited all those schools with the exception of Virginia.

He camped at Rutgers this summer and was impressed by lead recruiter Brian Angelichio and the facilities, most notably the weight room.

"Coach Angelichio doesn't act like uptight coaches, he's real cool," Williams said. "I could talk to him about anything. We talked like every other week until the season came. Now we talk here and there on Facebook."

Rutgers' staff offered Williams seconds before he ran a drill.

"I was getting ready to run my 40, and [a coach] said that I'm going to be happy by the end of the day," Williams said.

Williams also made it down to College Park for Maryland's game against Miami (Fla.). Previously, Williams had only been to Temple games, and he said Byrd Stadium was on a completely different level.

And of course, he liked the uniforms and helmets.

"The fans were going wild, it was a full house. I was amazed," Williams said. "That was my first college game with an atmosphere for people going crazy."

Williams is also high on in-state Pittsburgh. Running backs coach Calvin Magee has built a solid relationship with Williams, and even coach Todd Graham has called Williams a few times. The only other head coach who has called Williams is Rutgers coach Greg Schiano.

Most of his conversations with Graham center around the changes Graham has made at Pitt and the run-based offense he is installing.

"It means a lot for the head coach to call," Williams said. "They are always busy and don't have time, so it shows how much they really care."

Williams said he doesn't have a favorite and has no plans to rush into a decision. Just because Notre Dame is the biggest brand name that has offered doesn't mean he will jump on it.

"I can't say it's my favorite because it's the biggest one," he said. "I've never been out there."

Sounds like he is waiting for a UGA offer.

Dont worry Cyrus Jones is much much better. Jones says Marylands is in his top 3. i am not saying 100% we get him, But i think he fits this spread offense shake and bake type Wideout than Aj i think.

North Florida Christian linebacker Dallas Griffiths plans on an official visit to Maryland. His top 3 schools are Maryland, Georgia Tech, and South Florida. Griffiths is overshadowed by his teammate, Travis Blanks, but he's a solid linebacker prospect who can contribute early in his career. You can check some of his highlight here, 2nd prospect down.

I think vice versa.

Yeah lucy for the Terps Maryladn is locked at wideout position this year and next year. we are in it with Diggs, Brown, Cyrus, and some 2013 local wideouts so i am good with wherewe are focusing our recruiting attention too right now. Diggs says Umd, Gators and Auburn are his top 3, Marylands offense is the only spread offense i think in this top 3. and We have Danny who is a top Qb and we throw the ball like 40-45 times a game so Diggs and Cyrus should love that.

And Wes Brown will like that because he will have 18 wheeler type lanes to rushinto with all the space the spread opens up for RBs. We just need to lock in on Darby too and Spence and finish the season on a high note. Funny Enough in my season prediction 4 months ago, I said we woul dhave an early loss, and then strom through the season and finish really strong, So i am hoping that still happens, i cant help it i also have a positive outlook on life , and Terps basketball and football. Lets go Terps.

New Jersey CB/ATH, Jevon Tyree (5' 10" - 170 lbs.) has narrowed his list to 4 and included Maryland. The others are UCONN, Wisconsin, and Georgia Tech.

What do u guys think are the chances Maryland lands DE Darius Hamilton? He seems pretty open to any school the moment. He has Maryland as one of the schools that interest him. With the recent upgrade in Under Armour apparel, can it be enough to sway him to College Park? You can check out his highlights here, 4th from top.

I don't know if he was a MD target, but RB Drew Harris just committed to VT. Supposed to be a stud.
