Scout.com says Chris (***) is one of the most spectacular players in the state and can play either CB or S.  In fact, one evaluation indicates that Chris plays as well as any other S in the State against the pass and has such great ball skills. His leaping ability, his superb hands and the uncanny ability to get his hands on the ball when it is up for grabs stands out the most.

Chris received an offer from Toledo and is receiving a lot of interest from Indiana, Arizona State and Purdue as well.  Here’s what Chris has to say about Miami:

"I liked that camp. I went there the day after my state track meet. I think I did pretty well. I had a good day. They told me to keep working hard in weight room and do the right things. They said would stay in touch with me."

Rucker plans to take unofficial visits to Cincinnati, Miami, Kentucky, Kansas and Indiana before his senior season.  He says he’ll make a decision by sometime this summer.  $cout 7.12.06
