Great to see names starting to be listed on the site, even though they can't be "officially" confirmed. Has anyone taken a look at the stats and clips of RB Joel Kimpela? Dude looks outrageous. Welcome to the Hilltop!!!

Kimpela is an interesting story. He did not start at Trinity until his senior year and many I-A schools never even got him on the radar as a result. Rushing for 2,000 yards may seem a statistical anomaly, but this is not some player in some New England prep school league doing this or a all-county player in upstate NY feeding the stat sheet. Kimpela made Sports Illustrated's nationwide All-America team as an honorable mention selection, yet ESPN.com listed only two offers, Georgetown and I-AA newcomer Incarnate Word (TX). Scout doesn't even list him in its database while Rivals simply lists him as an unranked recruit. It's almost like if you haven't got stats to show by 11th grade, you won't make the lists. Otto Porter flew under the radar in basketball because of the size of his school and his absence from the AAU circuit. Euless Trinity is well known in national HS football and the lack of visibility for kimpela makes it even more unusual he wasn't a major I-A target. There are three or four I-A recruits on every opponent Trinity plays and in the clip below, he shredded an Allen HS defense that's got plenty of major college potential on its team. www.maxpreps.com/athletes/8djHYWsMc0SfCEs7NWIpsg/football-fall-11/videos-joel-kimpela.htm

A recruiting battle with Michigan State? Seems like that should be something happening over on the basketball board.
