National signing day is on wednesday, feb 4th this year, and it cant come soon enough. 23 days away. we have recently had one decommitt in pollard, but are in the hunt for several others, even though most at this point seem like a longshot.

Manti Teo- OLB everybody knows the guy, announcing on NSD, we are in his top five, though many sites think it is a BYU USC race for this guy, we will have to wait and see. If we dont sign him, it wont be for a lack of effort on charlies part.

Jelani Jenkins- again, a very highly touted OLB set to make his decision known on NSD, ND in the top 5, only two officials set so far being Penn st and Flordia, but he has said he wants to take all five. young kid with some crazy upside.

Tyler Gaffney- RB/FB from Cali, we are in his final three, but it looks like he is more likely to stay in Cali with either SC or Stanford.

Byron Moore- S-committed to USC, but i guess he is Shaq EVans best friend and recently heard scout has him visiting us on 1-30-09, and he also visited for the syracuse game.

Jawanza Starling- visited stanford on the 9th, have heard he is taking all five officials and is visiting us next week on other blog sites. we have recruited him consistently and hopefully it will pay off.

Micheal Buchanan- Ill. DE, 6'6 220pd frame with alot of room to grow, offered a few days ago, mutual interest with ND. dont know much about the kid, glad to see another DL offer though.

IMO sign one or two, definate top 15, somehow go and sign 3, top ten class. Sorry if i forgot anyone, feel free to add them. Should be the most interesting NSD i have experienced in my 3 years of actually following it. Minus 06, that NSD pissed me off, but i guess it was interesting. Damn those lying littles..... any thoughts or news on these guys, let me know. i like hearing feedback.

Just wanted to correct something like I did in another post, Moore is visiting SC on the 30th according to rivals. I don't know if that means he has doubt and has to reaffirm his decision or what but just thought I would mention it.

gaffney has a decision date in mind, dont know what the day is bc it is a premium rivals article. kinda expecting him to go to Stanford.

another player now being mentioned thats looking around is 6'6'' 295 DT Dillion Quinn, a former BC committ who is said to be looking around after the HC was fired. might be worth looking into.

Link below, talks about teo, quinn, and buchanan. from SBT.

God i cant wait. 12 days left. now we are definately in the mix for Moore, and if we can land Teo, Jenkins, Gaffney, or Starling, we are definately going to be close to a top ten class again. Hearing some rumors about Oliver visiting Tennessee, anyone else hear this?

The Oliver rumors are bunk!

lol good thats what i like to hear. just seen it over on dd and was wondering. found an article that maybe could have an impact on Gaffneys decision, maybe not, we will see though. the cardinals Oline coach just resigns, and their great running game was tremendously due in part to him. link below.

Stanford offensive line coach Chris Dalman resigns - ESPN

and updates on my first post,

Micheal Buchanan- no chance, he eliminated us.

Byron Moore- as many have heard dropped USC now down to LSU and ND.

Gaffney- heard that its down to ND and Stanford, with stanford leading for his services.

Jawanza Starling- just visited us recently, still going to visit FSU and Georgia. Seemed to enjoy ND visit from what i have heard.

Teo and Jenkins- nothing really new on them. Teo is still a toss up, might come. With jenkins, we are a very very long shot it seems, no official, will most likely be a gator or nittany lion according to most sites.
