Thanks for the info, Rex.

wow, Sam Montgomery ends up picking LSU.

 

 

As a Miami fan, glad to see him not in the ACC.

I'll bet it ends up one of those "you can choose where you want to play" deals that ends up with him as a CB sooner than later. It's just Zook's pitch to get him, but when he realizes that there are three young backs better than him, he either transfers or switches back to a DB.

Right. If he decommitted in the 24th hour after being a solid verbal for 8 months, whats he going to do when Zook tells him he is going to be a safety?

 

 

Tenn sites are reporting Marlon Brown to OSU, I really hope thats true.

I'm happy with our class. Getting Reid and Philips last night was great.

 

I would have liked to have Gary Brown, but his stepmom was all over Urbans dick.

Jenkins to Fla? I thought he was a USC lock.

Not sure who said that, he's been a Florida lock for a while. As for Appleton, I am not surprised. He recruitment was strange throughout, so it's fitting he would make a strange final decision. Even though Wisconsin occasionally gets receivers to the NFL, it's a traditional run first school with mediocre caretakers at quarterback. He will get a great education there though. Buchanan is a nice get for the Illini however, and they had a pretty good class when you consider they lost 3 of their best commits very recently. The problem of course though isn't recruiting, it's game day coaching.

Huh, I saw that on a board somewhere, shows what I know. Appleton is a pretty decent loss, but shouldnt hurt them too bad. I saw Telfort picked USC.

Nah the only reason I know this is I have a friend whose best friend plays at Florida (well sits on the bench, lol), and apparently Jenkins has been a silent verbal for Florida for a while, but wanted to take all of his visits anyways (and who can blame him with some of the stuff that happens on those?) Although actually, I think he only ended up taking 3 visits, but oh well.

Not quite. ASU is making a serious push for him but he hasn't "switched" to them yet.

Wow he signed with ASU. Thats a complete shocker, #2 player out of Cali.

Greg King stays with Tenn.

Wow he signed with ASU. Thats a complete shocker, #2 player out of Cali.

 

Lack of playing time available, eventually, will cause USC some problems recruiting in my opinion. Not big problems, but kids want to play early on.

 

And wow, Manti Te'o picks Notre Dame. Now that completely shocks me, he is deeply religious in the LDS church, from Hawaii, and he picks a Catholic school in Indiana?

Predictions for Michigan on Signing Day:

 

4* OL Quinton Washington (SC) - committed yesterday over South Carolina, Miami -LOI SENT TO UM THIS AM

 

4* WR Je'Ron Stokes (PA) - should go Blue over Tennessee and Illinois - 2:30 - 3:30 ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY

 

4* QB Denard Robinson (FL) - should go Blue over Florida and UCF. He wants PT so Tebow coming back hurt Florida's chances. UCF is local and making a big last minute push using PT as the bait. ANNOUNCED FOR MICHIGAN THIS AM

 

2* CB Adrian Witty (FL) - should go Blue. Teammate of Robinson above. Missed Jr. year and summer camps before Sr. year due to injury, so flew under the radar. High ceiling, but high risk due to the injury. ANNOUNCED FOR MICHIGAN THIS AM

 

Michigan will hopefully get one of the following two DT's (getting both would be a surprise)...

4* Pearlie Graves (OK) - also looking at Texas Tech. Oklahoma flirted with him late. Also visited Tennessee. He committed to Michigan but has been very soft for a long time. CHOSE TEXAS TECH

 

4* DaQunita Jones (MS) - another soft Michigan verbal. Also visited Tennessee, Arkansas and Auburn. Late word has it he is leaning toward Arkansas, but like Graves, the word seems to change daily. LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE ARKANSAS - Tennessee & Auburn reportedly eliminated

 

The longest of long shots...

4* DE Sam Montgomery (SC) - North Carolina seems to lead here, but he also is looking at LSU and Tennessee. Michigan is the only school Sam's mother did not join him on the visit. I think Momma wants him to stay closer to home. CHOSE LSU

Mante T'eo signs with Notre Dame. Wow!

Holy crap thats a shocker. ND really swooped in on that one. Did he even visit there? Didnt he visit all west coast schools? Is there a briefcase of unmarked bills sitting in his bedroom right now?

I have followed these signing day decisions for several years now, and Te'o picking Notre Dame might be the most surprising decision I can remember seeing. Those Hawaii kids always seem to end up at west coast and Utah schools, especially LDS ones.

Mante T'eo signs with Notre Dame. Wow!

I think that may move ND up into the top ten recruiting rankings.

He visited Notre Dame, but I tend to agree with the unmarked bills comment in that this one is a little fishy.

I didnt even think he took an official there. I thought it was USC, BYU, UCLA and Stanford. There is nobody who isnt shocked by this one.

He did take an official to Notre Dame in November according to rivals and scout. Still a shocker though.

I heard Rutgers is having one of their best recruiting seasons in a while?

Radio out of Knoxville has Marlon Brown wearing OSU gear in school, makes me think its a pump fake and he will actually choose UGA.

Sitting at 39th in the country right now which is pretty good for them. Alot of 3 star guys and 4 4stars.

I don't get why kids do that, didn't Shaun Livingston wear Illinois gear the day he chose Duke? And another example of this happened yesterday. A girl I know who goes to USC lives next door to Byron Moore, who is a top football prospect. She saw him yesterday in Notre Dame stuff, and today he picked USC in ESPNU. I get when kids switch commitments or wait until the last second to decide and weigh their options, but pump faking is just a dick move.

Yeah they are having a good class. Did they sell you as a fan when you visited? Nice.

Its pretty dumb IMO, but im sure the kids think its fun. Thats basically the only player out there that OSU is really hoping for and needs, but he'll prob stay south.
