gamecocks Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Ron Brook's stats from tonights game 9-9-06. Rushing 11-75 11 yard TD Receiving 1-26 26 yard TD Passing 4-10-1-33 This kid seems to do it all on his team! I take it that his main position is quarterback in the offense, or am I wrong in thinking that. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 It looks like he is playing QB this year but is being recruited as a WR. DN link MacArthur returns only seven starters and has to replace a slew of college signees, including two of the state's best linebackers. But first-year coach Brian Basil, who takes over for David Beaty , said MacArthur has the depth and talent to make another postseason appearance. Dual-threat QB Ron Brooks, who mostly played wide receiver last year, is the team's key cog on offense. But the strength of MacArthur – as always – is its defense. Future Basil said he expects a run at the district title and another trip to the playoffs. This year's team won't feature as many seniors as recent squads have, but MacArthur should finish among the top three in 7-5A.

Brooks is the son of former NFL wide receiver Anthony Brooks, who graduated from Irving. ... Brian Bosworth, the former Seattle Seahawk and OU star, is among the many talented linebackers who played at MacArthur. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 TX link Majority of talented Texas prep receivers playing hard to get 07/28/2006 By Jake Shaw/texasfootball.com Quick. Here's an IQ test (likely that last test you'll ever take involving football). Pick out the trend from the first-team Super Team offense from the chart below: SUPER TEAM FIRST TEAM OFFENSE Position/Name HT WT 40 High School Commitment QB Ryan Mallett 6'7 240 4.9 Texarkana Michigan RB Colton Johnson 6'0 240 4.5 Waller UT RB Bradley Stephens 5'11 200 4.4 McAllen Memorial Texas A&M WR Ron Brooks 5'11 180 4.4 Irving MacArthur None WR Terrance Toliver 6'5 185 4.5 Hempstead None WR Dez Bryant 6'2 200 4.5 Lufkin None OL Trey Allen 6'4 305 5.1 South Grand Prairie UT OL Michael Huey 6'4 285 5.3 Kilgore UT OL Matt Nader 6'6 310 5.1 Westlake UT OL Aundre McCaskey 6'4 270 5.2 LaMarque UT OL Kyle Hix 6'5 295 5.2 Aledo UT UTIL John Chiles 6'2 190 4.3 Mansfield Summit UT You're first guess might be that the Longhorns' future at offensive line is pretty much set. While that's true, that wasn't the point of this exercise. Looking back at the chart, the only position with "None" in the commitment column is at WR. Ron Brooks, Terrance Toliver and Dez Bryant have numerous coaches (and thousands of fans) waiting and hoping they'll soon commit to their program. It doesn't stop there. Of the seven Super Team receivers, only Garland's Malcolm Williams (second team) has chosen his next destination. And a host of Texas Top 300 receivers (see list below) likewise are holding out. Since quarterbacks got all the love from the 2006 DCTF cover (and every coverboy, conversely, has committed), are receivers just trying to catch some of attention? It varies on who you're talking about. The best of the bunch, at least according to recruiting web sites such as rivals.com, could be months away from a decision. Hempstead head coach Ricky Sargent said Terrance Toliver, the school's biggest recruit ever, has no timetable for his pledging. "Terrance is just being open-minded," Sargent said Friday. "He's taking a lot of visits, unofficial visits, and he's going to take some official visits this fall. He just wants to see where he's the best fit. "He's not pressured by anything." Not by recruiters, not by his coaches, not by the masses of Texas preps around him committing, including teammate Chris Tate, a defensive back who recently pledged to Baylor. "He's going to wait until he takes all his visits," Sargent said. "He'll probably ride it out until signing day." Curenski Gilleylan, a third-team Super Team pick from Leander, also will put a lot of thought into his decision. But that's just the kind of kid he is, Leander head coach Steve Gideon says. "Curenski is a strong academian," he said. "I think he and his family both are intrigued by the offer from Duke, and so that's a million-dollar education right there. He's that type. "He's going to listen to his parents' advice, and he's looking for an education along with an offer to be in a great program." Gilleylan isn't drawing quite the national interest as Toliver, whose offers range from USC to OU and A&M to Miami. But Gilleylan's numbers (41-720 yards, 7 TDs), aside from his smarts, will continue to draw a bevy of interest. Gideon says he's one of the more coachable players he's had. "No doubt, he is a super human being," Gideon said. "You want your kids to turn out like him. He's always going to be where he's supposed to be." What could ultimately explain why the receivers have not committed? They're playing hard to get. With prep athletes unable to take official visits until the fall, it's hard, as Brenham coach Glen West put it, "to tell Lincoln, Nebraska you commit when you haven't even seen Lincoln, Nebraska." Brian Basil -- coach of first-teamer Ron Brooks at Irving MacArthur -- said it's a matter of being well-equipped before making a tough call. "We tell our players it's like dating," Basil said. "You don't get married without first going on a date. You look around, find out what you like. I really think that's what (Brooks) is doing." Brooks has visited Texas A&M and Oklahoma, campuses that involve relatively short drives. But with offers from coast-to-coast, it's hard for Brooks to say no when he doesn't really know who he's saying it to. "He's got other places he talks about, like LSU and Florida," Basil said, "but it's just tougher for him to get out there. If I were a 17-year old getting offered by LSU, Florida -- I don't know how I'd handle it." Coach, just reverse the situation. If you followed the lead of Brooks, Toliver, Gilleylan and other receivers in the Class of 2007, you'd likely end up just fine. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 DAMN!!!! This kid TORE IT UP LAST NIGHT!!! He's got some friggen SPEED!!!! IRVING – Ron Brooks rushed for four touchdowns and passed for two more as Irving MacArthur held off a North Garland rally in a 49-30 non-district shootout at Irving Schools Stadium on Friday. Brooks accounted for 322 total yards, including a game-high 169 yards rushing. He led MacArthur (2-0) to four straight touchdown drives in the first half. He turned a fake punt into a 64-yard scoring run in the first quarter and followed with a 74-yard touchdown run late in the first half. In between, he threw two scoring passes. Juan Yepez kept North Garland (1-2) close with three field goals. His team trimmed an early 21-point deficit to 35-30 on a 28-yard run by Adrian Linwood late in the third quarter. But two North Garland fumbles after halftime proved costly. Brooks followed with two more touchdown runs in the fourth quarter as MacArthur pulled away. Linwood had 94 yards rushing and 153 passing to lead North Garland, which has allowed an average of 41 points in its first three games. Quote Link to comment

Hmmm it's gonna be hard with all the instate colleges down here. The more you are in the papers the more UT looks at you! Quote Link to comment
Washusker Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Good thing we are recruiting his teammate, Bret Harris. Quote Link to comment
Spartness Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It would probably be lights out if UT offers. Otherwise, it would be nice to get Brooks and Paul. Hopefully UT is filled up and doesn't have any decommitments. Quote Link to comment
Washusker Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Brooks and Paul at X and Z? Sick.... Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Guys Brooks is tearing up Texas High School football!!!!!!! Tonight he had one of the best games in the entire state. I have a bad feeling with all his dominating play so far, look for UT to come begging for this kid. Here is what he did tonight! IRVING – Ron Brooks scored from 12 yards out in overtime to lead MacArthur (3-1) over rival Irving (0-4) in a District 7-5A opener. On its position in overtime, Irving fumbled at the goal line. With 4:13 left in regulation, Brooks scored on a 93-yard run down the sideline. MacArthur converted a two-point conversion to pull within three. Quote Link to comment
Washusker Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Good news, Brooks' team has a bye the night before the UT game, so the early start will not keep him from getting to Lincoln in time for the game. I believe his teammate, Bret Harris, is coming as well. I drool to think of our future at WR if we get Brooks along with Paul. BTW, Scout has dropped him to a 4- Quote Link to comment

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Think he got dropped to 4 because he's not putting up the stellar QB numbers? Quote Link to comment
