    How is it looking for your team today?

    tOSU is having some drama with one of my favorite recruits, RB Ezekiel Elliot. He got upset that tOSU accepted RB Dontre Wilson's (a former Oregon Duck commit)commitment and is now having second thoughts and might want to stay home and play for Mizzou where his dad was a player and his mom a grad.

    He won't announce until 5 cst.

    Looking good other than that!

    You think OSU pulls Vonn Bell or does he pick his life long favorite UT?

    I have no idea! Can't fault him f he wants to stay home, I am sure that playing at home has a strong pull.

    Hope he is a buck.

    Butch is putting together / keeping a pretty decent class in his short time there.

    Im not sure who Illinois is looking or who might sign there but they need some guys to just try and make an awful team a little better.

    I think he has done a real good job with such a short period of time. Jones put UT back in position for Bell and pulled interest fomr 4* QB Dobbs, both were out of the picture with Dooley. He's also pulled in some nice looking WRs in the class too like North out of North Carolina.

    Badgers picking up Tanner McEvoy which is another dual threat QB. Beat out Oregon and Florida. Gary Andersen off to a decent start considering the time and turnover he had to work with.


    I don’t follow much and never put much weight into recruiting or signing day. Nobody knows for sure how the kids will turn out till they hit the field. 5 star kids turn into backups. Walk-ons turn into stars. Rating Stars mean nothing in the grand scheme of things long term. Everyone looks good in their 2 min high school highlight reel.

    LSU should finish with a top 5 class again. I'm happy.

    The only drama for LSU is whether Priest Willis, a top safety, will flip from his UCLA commitment. He announced today that he will wait to sign later this week, so I think that might be a sign that he is wavering on his commitment.

    Jones was able to flip 4* QB Dobbs. That's a big pickup for UT.

    Waiting in James Clark to pick from the Gators or the Bucks... Very nice athlete at the WR position.

    I agree Scott. The training methods are awesome. That kid D'Shawn Hand might have just turned 17 and he looks like a college Sophomore when I played.

    I really hope the University of Virginia pulls in another decent class. I believe they were one of the youngest teams in the NCAA last year and have an outstanding coach in Mike London. They are on the verge of becomming a top 25 program if they can keep the steady flow of recruits. It is hard to recruit big time athletes at UVA, but it can be done with the right coach and I think London is it. UVA had some stud players in the 90's so I know it is possible.

    What the heck is going on at Ole Miss? Either Hugh Freeze is doing work or Ole Miss stepped up their payments to recruits this season. :poke:

    Bama is doing as expected, Reuben foster and his barner tat are headed our way. We have a slew of backs that up in the air...I would not blame them for going elsewhere...stable is getting crowded.

    Ole miss and freese are gonna burn, probation by the end of the year...
