Bourbon's first offer, and SEMO's best 10
Junior running back Brandon Bourbon of Potosi is on the recruiting list of a growing number of colleges, and one of them stepped up to make the first offer this week.
Stanford on Wednesday made Bourbon an offer to compete at the Pac 10 school in California at the running back spot starting with the 2010 season. Stanford is the first of several schools expected to bid for the 6-foot-1, 210-pound all-state pick. He led his team with a school-record 2,420 last season.
Mizzou is among the other schools already showing an interest.

• A colleague and I were debating who should make the ultimate all-star roster for senior basketball players across our region. After some head-scratching, here's the list I came up with (in alphabetical order). On both the boys and girls list, the first three or four names were pretty easy to come up with. After that, the talent level is so balanced among about 12-15 athletes, it's hard to narrow it down to just 10.
If you were coaching a 10-person team of seniors, who would you pick?
BOYS
Austin Brewer, Eminence
Zach Curry, Bernie
Dustin Ferguson, Clarkton
Austin Greer, Notre Dame
Josh Minner, NMCC
Michael Porter, Sikeston
Riley Raulston, Poplar Bluff
Antonio Riggens, Charleston
Drew Thomas, Scott County Central
Byron Wright, Portageville
GIRLS
Molly Barnes, Farmington
Jeleea Drake, Portageville
Alex Fowler, Notre Dame
Debra Hall, Kelly
Katelyn Heil, Dexter
Chelsea Kight, Meadow Heights
Taylor Jansen, Farmington
Jodi Menz, Delta
Jill Temples, Dexter
Brittany Walker, Portageville

Riggens is a nice player but I would take Donald Dixon over him. Dixon was named to the coaches all-state team and was all-conference. The rest of the list looks pretty good.
I definantly agree with having Dixon on the team. Very underrated player. I also would rather take David Vangennip from Advance rather than the Curry kid from Bernie. And while Ferguson deserves to be on the list, if I were putting together a team that will actually play some games I would rather have player like Untereinner from ND, Williams from SCC, or Timmons from SCC. With the scorers on this team, finding a good balance with some role players would make it a better TEAM. Those three that I listed all are some of the best in the area at doing what their team needs. Williams on the boards, Unterreiner with the ball, and Timmons all over the floor would help you win more games than another 25ppg scorer.
It's Chelsea Kight from Meadow Heights. And actually, Dexter's Ashlee Taylor was legit top 10 and Cathryn Heil wouldn't be too far off the list. Might want to include Perryville's Ava Johnson and Cape Central's Wendi Zickfield.
Jamie the information in your report is wrong, Bourbon has no offers right now. He has academic offer from Harvard and that's its. He's a good player but not good enough for the PAC 10
