JUCO WR Maurice Purify

[DaveH]

Might we need to worry about this guy qualifying?

Might we need to worry about this guy qualifying?

for some schools in the Pac-10 it is a concern, but if he becomes a Husker he should be okay. Don't quote me on that though.

Assessing the Talent: Maurice Purify is a 6-5, 215 pound Juco out of College of San Francisco, California (Originally from Eureka, California). He's from the same college that Nebraska recruited current offensive tackle Cornelius Thomas from. CCSF is known through the college football coaching world for it's JUCO talent. It is third in the country on the JUCO list for most players who get scouted and recruited to the DIV-A ranks (37 current DIV-A players). Oklahoma, Kansas St and Texas A&M all recruited players from that junior college last year.

 

CCSF has been an explosive scoring machine this year. The are the JUCO version of Texas Tech. They averaged about 49 points per game the last 3 games and are currently 5-0 on the season. One guy who has helped make CCSF a force to be feared is Maurice Purify. He has been all over the field this year, streching out defense like Tech does.

 

CCSF has a bye week this weekend, hence the reason he is visiting. He currently has an offer from Nebraksa and none one else, but that could change. CCSF has outscored it's last 5 opponents 219-26 and have won 4 of the last 5 California juco championships (they finished 11-1 last year). CCSF almost finished with back to back undefeated seasons, had it not been for a controversial pass interference call against arch rival College of the Canyons last year. Purify received all state honors last year. He finished last season with 37 catches for 953 yards and 11 touchdowns.

 

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 87%

[Eric the Red]

This year he had 48 receptions for 1,146 (23.8 YPC) and 15 touchdowns. In 2004 he had 37 rec., over 1,000yards rec., 37.0avg and 11 touchdowns.

Great news, but I won't really feel good about this one until we get the thumbs up from our buddies at the NCAA Clearinghouse.

 

Truely our first "big-time" Wide reciever. Same mold as Roy Williams, Dale Jarrett and other tall WR. He has 3 years to play 2. Now the question is: CAN HE PICK UP THE SYSTEM?????????????????????? He wont be here until MAY.

[Washusker]

Just finished wiping the drool off my chin.

 

LOVE the athletes that we are bringing to Lincoln. Purify, Andre Jones, Ashlee Palmer, Kenny Wilson - all JCs, but all players.

Screw the system. With his size just tell him to run down the field and throw him the ball.

Does anyone have any info on his vert leap, shuttle, and all of that good stuff. If this guy can jump, he might be an absolutely scary player in the mold of a Randy Moss.

[HuskerFaithful]

Purify has reportedly committed. I got an email from Scout.com. I'm not a premium subscriber with them, so I thought it was safe to report. 6'4" WR will be nice to have. He's rated 4 stars by Rivals and 5 by Scout.

[StuckinChicago]

6'5'' actually, and he is a huge pick up. He has allready shown that he can put up numbers against good competition, and he definately is blessed with the tools to succeed. The man has similar measurables to Randy Moss.

[NamelessHusker]

Again...Tick Tock..Tick Tock..scholarships are running out Mr Okung..if you are going to commit..you better pull the trigger

 

As far as Jeremy Maclin and Chris Mitchell, don't be so fast to cancell them out hootin annie. NU will make room for them should one of them decide to commit

[husker rob]

same with leon jackson, fast, strength, height. send down the field and tell them to get open

 

lets hope he gets cleared to play right away, and with spain coming also it going to get very interesting
