John: What’s up with that Campbell kid over at East Lake? He hasn’t been doing anything. What’s the deal with him?

BCP: Very general question. I cannot provide a clear answer. He is preparing for his senior season. He has been doing plenty; lifting, training, conditioning and trying to slow down his recruitment.

Carl Palmer: Does an average player that just plays special teams and occasional reps on defense have a shot at getting recruited?

BCP: Very slim shot. Closer to almost no shot.

—

Jimmy: Could you possibly name some good 2016 prospects at Kathleen High besides the Justin kid?

Marquis Zimmerman and Malcom Lanier

Sterling: Is Sterling Day Jr. (Plant City RB) a Division 1 running back?

BCP: A good way to answer your own question is to HONESTLY (put your pride aside) compare the player in question to some that are currently being recruited by division 1 college football programs. Observe how they move, footwork, power, balance, tackle breaking ability, break away speed, make plays in small spaces, etc. Below are a few of the BCP coverage area top RB prospects. Make sure you find them at showcases and track down their film.

TJ Simmons, Lakeland Christian
Ray-Ray McCloud III, Sickles
Tyler King, Fort Meade
Deshawn Smith, Nature Coast Tech.
Malik Davis, Jesuit
Jacquan Fuller, St. Petersburg Catholic
Wilbur Cooper, Auburndale

John C.: Do any of the Hernando County teams have FBS & FCS prospects? If so, what are their names?

BCP: Hernando is outside of our coverage area. We have a few prospects that have attended our showcases, but not all have been evaluated. I have limited knowledge of players in that county. Nature Coast and Hernando both have a few prospects; Christian Pellage is Major D1 talent. Deshawn Smith, Richard Graham and Tyler Kline all have a chance of being a FBC or FCS prospects.
