James recently finished his senior season at McKinley High in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he earned all-division honors. Rivals rates him as a two-star recruit. He had several Ivy offers along with others like South Alabama, McNeese State and Bryant.
Check out some highlights of James.
“You know it’s an academic school when you go there,” James told the New Orleans Advocate. “But when I got to campus there were flags about every football game. That was one of the first things I saw. I didn’t expect that, and I liked that.
“I liked the football players and the students. I got to sit in on classes while I was there and talk to students. They didn’t know who I was or that I was there about football. All of them said positive things and that meant a lot.”
James said this about his decision on Twitter…
I am proud to say that I will continue my academic and athletic career at Yale.

Ithink we have 5-6 DE' Can we get some RB or QB and some three star lineman please? Thanks BLUEBOY.
ReplyDeleteGot plenty of QB's, Rb we can use.
ReplyDeleteOverloaded on QBs last year. Tre Moore looks pretty good. We need a great running back.
ReplyDeleteIs there still an outstanding offer to Dario Highsmith, Connecticut's 2013 POY?
ReplyDeleteChristopher Darwin Hunn,Please shed some light on the commitment issue at hand .Thankyou
ReplyDeleteWhat about the linebacker from Middletown and Highsmith
What about Jared Southers from Seton Hall Prep.He's waiting on Vandy if there is a spot for him.
ReplyDeleteIf not he'll back into Yale.
He wants to be a Doctor.
Chris:
ReplyDeleteCan you update the list of the committed. I'd like to see where we are numbers-wise. Didn't we take 31 or 32 last fall?
Chris; is the defensive line coach gone after one year?
ReplyDeleteYale follower:
ReplyDeleteHighsmith is going to do a PG year at Choate Rosemary Hall. Not guaranteed a Yale spot for the year after yet, but it seems like he is on track to.
there are 5-6 other recruits Yale is waiting on their test scores. Most will PG at Choate if they do not get their scores up. This way Yale will have room for them next year and they can keep retaking the ACT/SAT
Highsmith was offered a full athletic scholarship by Yale. What do you mean hes going to Choate?
ReplyDeleteYale doesn't offer athletic scholarships. Only offers of admission support. All money is need-based.
ReplyDeleteReno sold him on a full scholarship. Are you saying he was lying?
ReplyDeleteRay or JON any truth that the Def. Line coach is out?
ReplyDeleteHis biography is no longer on the Yale football web site!
ReplyDeleteYALE FOLLOWER:
ReplyDeleteAny names re the 5-6 players whom Yale is awaiting academic scores??
Ray and jon one more recruite hope i have this right TE Jake Schmidt 6-6 245lb nice size . With varga gone do you think he will go to a power I with a fullback and use the tight ends more for blocking and passing. And with our WR wegood have a great year.
ReplyDelete1:19 Yale offers aid according to need. If the young man comes from family where income requires it, he is full need and will have the equivalent of a "full scholarship." Was Reno lying? No. The terminology is the issue and since most people do not understand "full scholarship" the term is used to mean "full financial aid."
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for Yale, Jared Southers committed Vanderbilt!
ReplyDeleteDagnabit,I was really hoping he was on board with Yale.
ReplyDeleteHall was a great coach and recruiter. He told Reno to go pound sand left Yale. Reno doesn't know how to manage a staff.
ReplyDeletePlease ,do not be a total idiot.
ReplyDeleteCoaches leave all the time.
Not everyone stays for long periods of time. It would have been nice to have Coach Hall stay,
Coach will get a coach who will be just as good.
Hey how did Monmouth work out.?
Cheers big Ears, Jon Harris
Is Wilmot over his personal issues? why not take him back.
ReplyDeleteWilmot did not leave for personal reasons, he was forced out.
ReplyDeleteYale Commit:
ReplyDeleteChris Maxwell, L/B , 6' 2", 212 lbs. Avon H.S., Avon, Ohio
What is the current status of the D Line? Who's coaching?
ReplyDeleteSo what's up with the HUGE de-commit? Did he re-commit or was it all a hoax/fantasy?
