I am so old and out of shape I can not only 'cut on a dime' but I am to lazy to pick one up.... it has to be at least a quarter to get this lazy butt motivated

You guys dont know much as I can see.

As for Keith wells, He is probably one of the most talented DEs on the nation. Currently, he is exactly at 6´5 221. He will add 45 pounds, he could be a great player be a great player, he has uncanny potential, beleive me. look at the ofers he has.

As for Milton Knox, he is a slow runningback compared to what we have, even slower than hughes, now, all that being said, this kid is more of a workhorse than you might think, he has an amazing led drive and can stop and cutback on a dime, I mean he can change direction with no wasted motion. Also he has a lot of power on his hips and can break takles.

not everything is about speed in football and the name of this guys game is vision, he is a great RB.

I don't know about that, remember he was POY in Cali this past season. But you are correct in that he isn't a burner, but I think he has solid speed. He sort of reminds me of a Ray Rice type, or maybe a slower Maurice Jones-Drew.

Yes, I know, I'm a Jags fan. That's why I said a SLOWER Jones-Drew. MJD has great straight line speed given his physical make-up. He's better than I thought he'd end up being, that's for sure. I think the Ray Rice coparison is resonably fair though.

Back to the issue at hand.....

LA Daily News - Birmingham's Knox set to visit Notre Dame
With one week remaining before national signing day, the biggest local question is where Milton Knox will play college football.

A few months ago, it wasn't really a question. Knox had verbally committed to UCLA and seemed destined to wind up in Westwood. But when the Bruins fired coach Karl Dorrell, Knox decided he wanted to take a deeper look at the other schools showing interest.

The City Section's all-time leading rusher and scorer from Birmingham High of Lake Balboa has never said he won't honor his pledge to the Bruins, but he made it clear he will explore all of his options.

Last month, Knox visited Florida, and this week he's scheduled to embark on an official visit to Notre Dame. The storied university in South Bend, Ind., happens to be the place where quarterback Dayne Crist, one of Knox's best friends, has committed after a stellar prep career at Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks.

Crist and Crespi of Encino tight end Joseph Fauria, who also has committed to Notre Dame and is in the same social circle, are pushing Knox hard to join them with the Irish, and the running back is expected to announce his decision Feb. 6 on national signing day.

"Am I recruiting Milton Knox? You'd have to be crazy to think I'm not," Crist said. "But this really goes past recruiting because he is one of my best friends."

There was a time Knox wasn't expected to qualify academically for Notre Dame, but he recently scored high enough on his

ACT to be eligible to play for the Irish, and that opened the door.
"We're real proud of Milton for passing the test. Now Notre Dame has a real legitimate shot," Crist said. "I think he'd fit in perfectly with coach (Charlie) Weis' system."

Crist and Fauria have taken their official visits to Notre Dame, and Knox hasn't; once he has, that might be the difference, both agree.

"It's quite an impact to feel what the campus is like. It's not what you'd expect," Crist said. "You've got to feel it to understand it."

Fauria, a tight end, took his visit two weekends ago and said he already misses the place. He has been text messaging Knox since his return.

"Going through the tunnel was amazing. I can't wait to do it with full pads on," Fauria said. "I mean, of course it's part of my responsibility to try to get Milton to come to Notre Dame. Who wouldn't? Think about it: He's Milton Knox."

The Patrick Johnson thing was well deserved from what I understand. I've heard his score went from a 13 to a 26.

Patrick Johnson went from a 16-22. They will flag tests that increase by 5 points or more.

do they only do that for football recruits?

anyway.. if you take the ACT once.. you usually do very badly.. the first time is quite an experience.. than you jump big time the 2nd time..

No they do it for all athletes. Deshaun Stephenson that plays in the NBA was supposed to go to KU but his score jumped too much and got him flagged so he just went to the NBA. Also most people say it is really hard to improve, and that if you retake the test you should only expect a 1 to 2 point increase, it isn't one of those get better w/ practice type things.

Actually you can practice it, there are many practices test/books/programs/classes, that will help you do better. My friend jumped from a 29 to a perfect score 36.

Regardless, I don't think Urban would have anything to say about these "flagged" scores if PJ decided to pick the Gators.

He's a scumbag.
