National Signing Day 2011 News & Notes

Floyd won't be coming back.

That wasn't the point. Sarcasm missed

 

[IMABCK]

9 hrs of top chef????? really, really? maybe you should go shovel or something. Put some de-icer down.

 

[WabashFalcon]

Everything is reallllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slow right now recruiting wise.

Check this out about the Raven situation:

Wow i was just looking at Rivals website pretty much everyone has had all of the LOI's sent in but the one school that doesn't is USC. They have 8 unsigned players including 2- 5* players and 2- 4* players.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

off topic a bit:

Andre Sturdivant signs with Toledo over Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan St, Illinois, and Indiana

He was a top 10 DE prospect according to rivals and a member of the Rivals250...How in the world did they pull this off??!!

My only guess is that they are allowing him a chance to play LB rather than DE.

And he gets to play for the Rockets at the Glass Bowl!

looks like USC is close to losing top recruit Deanthony Thomas. wahoo!

 

[WabashFalcon]

So.. I'm pissed.

I just spent the last two hours taking a hammer to my car and my wife's car because she has to go to work tomorrow.. I'm not kidding. I finally get all the ice off of each. I come inside and my wife is sitting in her chair, wrapped up in a blanket.

"Oohhhhhhh I fogot to tell you. Kali called. I'm off tomorrow."

Below is my reaction:

[Sherm Sticky]

Black mamba presser coming up soon right?

 

[IrishLax]

DT's press conference isn't until 10 PM EST. Seems he was getting peer pressure to stay at USC but told Kiffin a day ago that he was headed to Oregon. Who knows if that's still true though. In other news:

NCAA to Smack Tennessee, Lane Kiffin -- NCAAFB FanHouse

Lane Kiffin going to get cited while USC under probation and signing 30+ recruits?? Seriously... wtf is going on over there.

Lastly, Bruce Feldman picked Notre Dame as his NSD "winner" for this year for keeping a great class from all over the country together while adding talented Troy Niklas in a steal from USC.

I'm pretty sure we can end the Barry Sanders Jr. discussion, I believe we have a 1 and a 10 million shot of landing him. I believe we have zero shot at landing him. Plus there are better running backs out there next season.

Don't know where that's coming from, but believe we did offer his teammate.

People get to caught up in the name. Keith Marshall is looking like a better player and a better fit for the spread

People get to caught up in the name.

Quite true; look at Michael Jordan's kids - not exactly basketball stars.

 

[tussin]

i am trying to watch kelly's presser on the und site...

is there anywhere that will stream this a little faster? the loading is unbearable.

 

[Irishcop]

31 recuits for USC now. Unbelievable!

 

[Irish2015]

Deanthony Thomas to Oregon!

 

[Irishcop]

Deanthony Thomas to Oregon!

Just when I thought today could not get any better.

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

This is huge, their OL is still thin (no doubt Walker was a huge pickup) but my lasting impression of this is they lost a long time comittment in a top 10 recruit form their backyard...we can hope this beginning of the end for their appeal.
