Signing Day 2012 Forecast

With the biggest recruiting day of the year over and (mostly) done, we look ahead to 2012, a year where Massachusetts will have more players grabbing headlines than ever before.  Here is a look at the 3 players who will most likely take the headlines by storm.

• Nick LeSpada, QB, Billerica - What hasn't been said about the Indians dynamic signal caller?  LeSpada has already racked up back to back Globe All-Scholastic honors, was named Massachusetts' Gatorade Player of the Year in 2009, and was the first ever ADFCRedzone Player of the Year.  There aren't very many schools who haven't showed interest in LeSpada, and the number will continue to grow as he moves through the combine and camp circuit.  Look for LeSpada to land on the ESPNU 150 in the 100-150 range; he's that good.
• Armani Reeves, ATH, Catholic Memorial - What Reeves lacks in size he makes up for in instincts and play making ability.  Arguably the most versatile player in the state, Reeves has been getting a heavy dose of interest from BC and Penn State, but the number of potential suitors goes much further than the Nittany Lions and Eagles.  Good showings on the off-season circuits could land Reeves right on the cusp of an ESPNU 150 ranking.
• Canaan Severin, WR, Worcester Academy - The fact that this young man was issued a scholarship by the hometown Eagles should say enough about his ability.  Severin is a well built wide out who shows good ball skills and the ability to strike from anywhere on the field.  He is still a bit rough around the edges, but once his abilities are honed in, he'll settle in as one of the top play makers in the region.
