Big day for CochranQuarterback
Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn./Masuk) will likely find out where he stands with Boston College after he attends the BC camp on Friday.Cochran received an offer from BC last year, but that offer came from former offensive coordinator Gary Tranquill, who has since retired and been replaced by
Kevin Rogers."I'm sure a lot will depend on how he performs Friday," Jack Cochran, Casey's father, said.Cochran led Masuk to a 13-0 record and the Class L state championship last season, when he was named Connecticut's Gatorade Player of the Year. He completed 200 of 295 pass attempts for 3,345 yards and 40 touchdowns.Cochran, who is on pace to graduate in January of 2012, led New London High School to Connecticut's Class SS championship during his freshman season, and then transferred to Masuk.
Napoleon's future uncertainBrandon Napoleon (Rahway, N.J./St. Peter's Prep) said he isn't sure if he'll play quarterback or defensive back at West Virginia. Napoleon committed to West Virginia shortly after receiving an offer last weekend."They said it's totally up to me," Napoleon said. "I'll play out the season, but as of right now I do not know what position I'll play."Napoleon said his decision to attend West Virginia was an easy one. His father, Eugene, played running back at West Virginia from 1987 to 1989."I knew once they settled their coaching situation I was going to get an offer," Napoleon said. "As soon as I got that offer I knew I was going to commit. I just couldn't pass that up. It felt like the right fit."
