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.
