Cyrus is probably headed to AU since he doesn't want people to think that he's following in his brother's footsteps and just signing with Bama. His mom wants him to come to Bama though, and she loves Saban.

Stewart will regret this I bet. BC would have been absolutely perfect for him, and I'm sure he will get lost in the shuffle at UF. BC loses Herzlich this year and they have some talent at LB, but Stewart would have had a chance to start this year. Probably will be another Brendan Beal situation.

I didn't even know Beal transferred to Minnesota. Out of high school he was strongly considering BC and it was probably the best fit for him, but he decided to head south and go to one of the biggest programs in the nation. BC is a smaller program and it was probably a better fit for Beal, and I think Stewart's situation is very similar.

His team mate Harrow committed to UGA last wk:

They are both taking their official UGA visit now. The mag I saw at B&N last wk. that has him top-ranked at his position said it's "going to be hard to get him out of Georgia." Probably true.

He didn't have an offer because Brissett is coming. :)
Expecting Rawls to be the next Mark Ingram is setting him up for failure. Mark Ingram improved an unusual amount his freshman and sophomore years at Alabama (Please don't take this to mean peds or anything like that. Just saying that Ingram is the exception, not the rule). However, there is reason to be excited about Rawls if you're a Michigan fan. If Rawls ends up being half the back that Ingram is, we'll be set for the foreseeable future.

So Michigan looks to have about 4-5 spots left in this class. We seem to have at least a shot with Rawls, Barnett, Cooper, and Fisher, and rumored silent commits from Clark and Willingham, taking it down to 2-3 spots left for four guys. Who gets left out? We need a TE and DT, so if Cooper and or Barnett want in you almost have to take those guys.
I love Rawls, but at this point, I'm a little worried he might be left out of this class, despite finally getting his offer, if we can pull the other guys.
So who do you think we get, or who would you like to see Michigan get?
Just a feeling it's going to be
Clark
Willingham
Rawls
Fisher
Barnett seemed to enjoy his visit, as did Cooper, but I have a feeling we won't get either guy.

Looks like Chris Barnett is down to two schools according to Rivals. Hopefully we are one of them.
I highly doubt that Rawls gets left out. Kid has been a life long U-M fan who has worked his ass off to qualify after everyone said "no chance," just so he could get that Michigan offer. I can't imagine the staff would offer him this close to signing day, just to turn around a few days later and tell him they don't have room. I'm sure they only offered because they knew there would be at least one spot open.

That would be a big slap in the face to Rawls if Michigan did that, but like you said they probably wouldn't have offered if there wasn't going to be an open spot.
Right now I am hoping we get:
Rawls
Barnett
Willingham
Cooper
Clark
That would be a great way to finish out the class and we should have enough room for them.

I would doubt it as well. My only concern was that we had two rumored silent commits in Clark and Willingham already, plus two guys interested at positions of need (Barnett at TE and Cooper at DT respectively), so you'd almost have to take those guys if they wanted to come.
That said, I'm sure the coaches have a feeling about who may or may not commit, and I agree that they wouldn't offer unless they were sure they'd have a spot open for a kid that's been a lifelong fan and worked his ass off to get qualified.

That makes no sense. For one, Miller is a QB and a very good one at that. Just because he's black doesn't mean he would be move to a WR. How many times did Tressel ever bring in a QB and have him change positions? None. The closest example is Troy Smith who played some RB and WR because he wanted to get on the field before he ended up as a Heisman-winning QB. Likewise, just because Jones is black doesn't mean he can move to TE. He's not fast and not quick. He doesn't have the athleticism to be a TE.

Jones probably goes to prep school for a semester and then transfers to Ohio State and is a true freshman in 2012, a year that he'll redshirt. Miller will play this year as a true freshman. So Jones will be a redshirt freshman in 2013 and Miller will be a true junior that same year. There's gonna be 2 years of seperation between Braxton and Cardale, they didn't offer Cardale to waste his great arm and upside as a QB by moving him to TE.

Link or you're full of ****. There's no such thing as being "too athletic". That's ******* moronic to say. Black QBs, on average, are less accurate and more likely to take off and run before going through their reads- probably because your average black QB is faster than your average white QB.
*I have no knock on Miller as a QB, it's just that when draft time comes around for him in 3-4 years I can hear Kiper & McShay now saying position switch. Look at what they are saying about Pryor, TE for crying out loud.

You are correct sir. Verballed to Wisconsin, decommited from the Badgers and verballed to ND, then decommitted from ND and verballed to OU. He's always been an OU fan and spent most of the past summer trying to earn an OU offer. OU had a spot open when they lost Brandon Carter to TCU, so they contacted Okotcha to gauge his interest. Personally, I see this like losing Clay Burton....you had to know that if one particular school offered, the kid was gone.
Sucks to lose a CB recruit this late, with ND being thin in that area and this not being a stellar year for CBs, but ND still has Jalen Brown and Josh Atkinson in this class, plus WR Bennett Jackson posted on his facebook that he is now switched to CB and will wear Darrin Walls' old #2. Even with the switch, this definitely makes CB a serious priority in the '12 recruiting class.
Not impressed with De'Anthony's tape. He doesn't look much better than Jamal Overton.
Seen Thomas play against Norco HS (Toby Gerhart's old stomping grounds). Thomas was pretty much the only threat his team had, and he was playing both ways and was making plays on both sides of the ball. On this one, I definitely have to say you're smoking something comparing him to a 2 star or your homerism is in full effect.
If Thomas goes to Oregon, I'd be thrilled. He's going to be a pain in the butt, and I'd rather not have to see ND face him.

You are correct sir. Verballed to Wisconsin, decommited from the Badgers and verballed to ND, then decommitted from ND and verballed to OU. He's always been an OU fan and spent most of the past summer trying to earn an OU offer. OU had a spot open when they lost Brandon Carter to TCU, so they contacted Okotcha to gauge his interest. Personally, I see this like losing Clay Burton....you had to know that if one particular school offered, the kid was gone.
Sucks to lose a CB recruit this late, with ND being thin in that area and this not being a stellar year for CBs, but ND still has Jalen Brown and Josh Atkinson in this class, plus WR Bennett Jackson posted on his facebook that he is now switched to CB and will wear Darrin Walls' old #2. Even with the switch, this definitely makes CB a serious priority in the '12 recruiting class.
So is Jackson going to redshirt next year?
So is Jackson going to redshirt next year?
Sounds like he's going to be treated like an EE and thrown into the deep end. He was a CB and S in HS on top of playing WR, so its not like this is a foreign concept to him. Besides, he's proven he likes to hit (he was a standout on special teams this year), and word is he was struggling to pick up the offense. This could be a win/win for ND, especially considering Jackson is faster than Okotcha and taller.
I have faith in the flip, considering Kelly & Co. have done this before (QB Demetrius Jones becoming a decent starting LB).

I know not all fans attended the school they root for, or any school for that matter, but for a conference priding it self on academic superiority, a lot of its fans are complete morons?
(For reference, Iowa fans primarily are leading to this rant...plus some other schools).
The Big Ten has long had a rule that each school can only sign 25 recruits per year, and just recently (within the last 15 years, 10 maybe) extended that to 28 given certain circumstances. They can only attribute 25 to one year (like the recruiting class of '11). The other 3 can be used towards '10 (early enrollees) or '12 (gray shirts). All of this, provided, that each school has 28 scholarships open.
Why do people continue to look at rosters and say things like "I think we have 30 open scholarships, so we can sign 30 players, right?"
Is the rule really that hard to understand?

I am going to be pissed if you guys get Whitehead, you already took Tre Mason from us in the same teasing us manner. I don't understand why you just don't take Roberson if he will commit and tell Whitehead there is no room, it seems that Whitehead is option #1 for you and Roberson is #2 despite how rivals ranks them.
Whitehead's mom wants him at Ole Miss and Jermaine himself apparently is undecided still. We'll see what happens tomorrow but I'm really hoping we land him, if we get him and Brassel then that would be the state's top 5 players and 7 of the top 10 to Ole Miss.

I clicked a link & read today online at the lunch break (1 PM PST) that UGA, Texas & Auburn all had more commits from the national top 100 than Bama, & the Tide only had 18 commits at the start of signing day, which irritated me greatly, largely b/c Clowney was doing his teasey hesitation dance for the media, his b'day is Valentine's day, Feb. 14th & he hinted that he may commit then. Bama was 6th on that list w/ FSU top ranked, the lists vary widely, I think I was looking at the TSN website.

Good one, TH, off by one state, the TS takes place in Washington state. Same densely forested foggy moist region though.
Not too big a leap to assume that Oregon getting to the NC game & averaging >50 points/game until they played Cal in Strawberry Cyn. has a strong appeal to offensive HS players. And Oregon has a long tradition of turning track stars into FB players by putting lots of speed on the field, btw Nike corp'n got it's start there.

From the way I've been explained it, if USC loses the appeal, then next year they will have to get down to 75 players and only have 15 schollies to offer. Considering how many kids they're loading up with this year, Kiffin's basically mortgaging the future to do well now. The potential for a class in the single digits next year is pretty high for them.
4* DE Troy Niklas is Irish. ND's D-Line haul is sick.

Sam Smiley and Keeon Virgile commit
Delvon Simmons - 11:20 am
Stephone Anthony - 11:30 am
Curtis Grant - 1:30 am
Those are the main guys for the Heels, but I am happy with how recruiting has worked for us with all the bad attention on us in the beginning of the season.

I just don't understand how Clemson pulls 3 5*'s out of the state of Florida coming off a 6-7 season with a coach whose never won anything. They don't exactly have rich football history either.
Clemson gets guys to the league and some of these young kids factor in early playing time too.

OK, I just had to laugh about how stupidly biased ESPN is:
UF = Scout #20 Class
UF = Rivals #17 Class
UF = ESPN #5 Class
Do not ever believe anything not fact based out of that organization. Their giant investment in the SEC has completely pushed them into WWE territory.

I'm REALLY liking Virginia's class this year. If they land Dominique Terrell, that class could help them improve in the ACC in the coming years. It's not flashy, but I'm a huge fan of Darius Jennings, Brandon Phelps, Demetrious Nicholson, Cliford Richardson, and a few others.

ND's entire class is in. CB Jalen Brown was the last in, but only because he was snowed in. Brown had to take a picture of his LOI and send that in instead of faxing it.

you guys have those 3 elite DEs. Ohio State has 3 top 100 DEs, a top 50 DT, the #2 player in the nation in Curtis Grant, plus all-americans Ryan Shazier top 200 linebacker Price and underrated Conner Crowell and Joel Hale who had offers from big schools like Florida. If I had 3 five star DEs I wouldn't mess around and trade that for anything either, so I know where you're coming from. Front seven as a whole including DTs and linebackers OSU is more well rounded.
This is OSU's defensive class, wowzers:
DE-Steve Miller
DT-Joel Hale/Chase Farris
DT-Michael Bennett
DE-Kenny Hayes
WLB-Ryan Shazier/Conner Crowell
MLB-Curtis Grant
SLB-Ejuan Price
CB-Doran Grant

California JuCo OT Fou Fonoti will fax in his LOI around noon, choosing between us, UCLA, and Michigan State. He would be a monster addition at this point and would start next year. Beyond him, that's it unless someone flips or ends up with a late offer.
He was probably the 3rd highest priority in this class after Huggins and Shuler.

Sturdivant is a top 100 type talent. Grade issues are why he wasn't rated that highly except for in the very first top 100s. If he and Shane Wynn can stay in school then Toledo and Indiana are gonna have two ridiculous steals on their hands.
