Adam Coerper hits it Big!

We first covered Adam Coerper when Coach Toots Kaahanuii of Central Catholic HS in Portland Called to tell us that he had seen this 6'5" phenom run a 4.7 and run wild out of the backfield int he fly sweep offense. What Said I? Well 4 days later I caught up to Adam's father Walt and 2 weeks after that he was on his way with a PSU offer. This kid played big in a small town and the seaosn was over when all this happened. This just goes to show you never ever give up! We gave him some help but he did the rest!

Adam's Dad just wrote to me and I thought I would share the comments.

"I had gotten a phone call from Coach Rasmussen from Washington State about a month ago wanting to set up a (official) visit," Coerper said. "So I went up there this past weekend and I really liked the school and really liked the whole campus atmosphere. In Pullman, the whole town is into Washington State football and it's in the Pac-10 which is a big deal to me."

"They offered me Saturday night after dinner," Coerper continued. "I told them I wanted to come here and the next morning, I called Coach Wulff to tell him (I was committed) and he was excited."

For Coerper, the decision was:
