I figured I'd get this up now, because there's always good rumblings the night before NSD. This is your official thread to hate on other schools' commits, lament in your own, and ask which SEC shcool had the deepest pockets this year - trick question - it's always Auburn.
Drop tweets, shoot out the rankings, mumble what you'd like, REC THIS BABY UP, be yourself, and as always.......
RABBLE ON!

So
Looks like DGB to Mizzou. He would have looked good in burnt orange. The tigers got a great one there. I hope they put in a decent turf so he doesnt tear his knee up like several did this tear in Columbia.

year not tear

We've talked about this before
but there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that the Tigers field resulted in any more injuries than normal.

Good
That stuff was gruesome. Especially later in the year. I accept injuries as part of the game but having major injuries because of worn out turf that should have been replaced sis not acceptable

Fan instead of commit?
I’m so incredibly excited about the Noles class this year, we are stocking up on Defense and complimenting the offense with Bracy and Pender. I don’t know that Winston ever takes a snap under center due to the baseball prospect status, but we’ll see.

Don't forget that 4-star TE
Our second consecutive year with a four-star TE… should give Jimbo plenty of options.
EJ
EJ would need to get a lot better at his intermediate reads to utilize the TE. NOL has a TON of promise, but a) he’s a bit full of himself and doesn’t work nearly as hard as he should from what some insiders say and b) will bounce after 2013 if he has any where near moderate success in my estimations.

Using that logic...
since FSU is winning most of the recruiting battles against Auburn, FSU must be the one buying the recruits this year.

Quote from SBNation on Mickens/comparisons
But the Huskies do run multiple-receiver sets quite often, and Steve Sarkisian’s offenses have never been shy about throwing to short guys who make things happen in space (see: Bush, Reggie).
Is it really accurate to call Reggie Bush short, he is listed as 6’0" and even if he was 5’11" or so it would still make him 3 inches taller then Mickens.
They really need to get both Elston and Jacobs while also keeping Allen.
But I have my doubts about them getting any of them which is going to really put a damper on this class.
You are way too worried about this class
Perseverance isn't just the willingness to work hard. It's that, plus the willingness to be stubborn about your own belief in yourself."
---Merlin Olsen
I think it is a solid class.
But getting Elston and Jacobs on defense would be huge pickups to go with their other defensive recruits. That is if Elston would be willing to play defense and if both wouldn’t have problems with homesickness.
Yeah I think Elsotn would play WR if he came here
Getting Jacobs would be awesome

rec this up
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
Did Harvey-Clemons really just hold a press conference to announce he's not eliminating anyone
That’s the most amazing thing ever
I already don't like press conferences, but that is about the stupidest thing ever.
Like that kid from AZ who held a press conference last year to announce his decommitment from UT and commitment to Auburn.
I really don’t want much to do with those types of kids.

Wasn't it Westermann (or something like that)?
I think I heard he was already thinking of transferring.
I might be thinking of the wrong kid though.

Oh.

It peaked my interest but not enough to actually sign up for the free trial.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.--Albert Einstein
I have no idea, to be honest.
The BearsTruth guys are just protecting their sources, and I’ve been told (by someone that would know, whatever that means to you) that the coaches are playing this one as close to the vest as ever before, but the kid is blabbing about it all over twitter.
There are two things at play with this kid, one of them being that he’s best friends/BFF with a top 2013 recruit, the other being that the coaches believe this kid would have been recruited by every program in the state had he gotten his academics in order before his senior year.
I don’t see the kid switching at this point, so I’m not sure why they’re being so protective.

Bennett is especially excited about him, I think,
Though it’s not certain he will play a defensive position. There are a few guys who fall into this raw athlete group for Baylor this year.

still doesn't make up for losing Daje and Pope
but picking up Thomas Johnson would. (dreaming)
Greatest Inventions Ever? 1. TiVO, 2. Boobs, 3. Baseball
At the safety position, he absolutely makes up for Pope.
Ed was way too skinny for safety, and blossomed as a WR, which is where TCU had him slotted like every other college. Obviously, Ed is a take no matter what, but losing him at WR doesn’t hurt as much as losing Daje at CB. Especially since we apparently struck out on Blake too.
If we get TJ tomorrow, then I’ll be poppin’ bottles at work.

Yeah a few depth guys here and there.

Aviante Collins for OL (legacy)
Derek Kindred today flipped from UTSA, for a safety spot as well.
As far as decommits, just those 2 and Linwood, and that’s all I can think of. No one else has been taking visits to my knowledge.

New helmets for Texas Tech football?
Texas Tech unveiled a matte black and a silver helmet to 10 recruits and the commits had favorable things to say about the Red Raiders’ new equipment.
The silver helmet came almost completely out of the blue because silver isn’t a Texas Tech school color.
“We saw that silver one and didn’t know whether it was a display or what,” Red Raider commit Keenon Ward said. “I talked to coach (Tommy Tuberville) and he said, ‘No, we’re actually going to wear it.’ I thought it was pretty cool. I think we all liked it. It looks really cool in person.”

I had argued previously this year
that A&M was going to do better than the haters thought going into next year, but I’m not as confident with the coaching change. I’m not saying it definitely won’t work out, I’m just not (as) confident that it will.
Teams can win with a great rushing attack and playing good defense [duh, that’s the (old) SEC way], but I don’t know that they will have a good enough defense to actually win games beyond the ones they are supposed to win.
"I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but that’s not critical to us winning." - Jon Daniels
Oh, let me be clear, I'm totally with you re: the team's projected performance.
They’ll be bowl eligible, but no better than that. I just the OL unit is quite good.

They'll really struggle to be bowl eligible
Playing in he SEC without a defensive line is a daring concept. Not as daring as to play in the B12 without a QB like Texas has done the last two years, but daring nonetheless.
Add in a new coach and new QB and it could be some rough sledding.
I think Mizzou could actually do OK next year. They have a pretty good QB and a good RB ( if Josey can come back OK ). The east isnt the beast that the west is

Yeah,
fully admit, it’s me being jelly.
It’d be one thing if it were QB or OL or some other position where it makes sense to redshirt and develop behind others. RB is one of the few positions where it makes sense to make early playing time (one of) your highest priority(ies).

I’d trade Goldman for Fowler any day of the week, and we have 2 DE’s returning in Woerner and Jenkins who will be 1-2 Rd NFL picks in 2013. It’s all good.
its a good sign for sure.

Linebacker and defensive end from Sealy (Texas) High School… Played under head coach Jimmie Mitchell at SHS… Named 2011 first-team All-District 24-3A after helping SHS to 8-3 record and bi-district playoff berth as senior… Played defensive end as junior in 2010, helped Sealy to 9-2 record and District 24-3A championship… Earned 2010 first-team All-District 24-3A honors… Recorded 40 tackles and eight sacks during junior season… Also plays basketball and throws discus for track team at Sealy.
BRILES ON CHATMAN
“Shamycheal is a great, great player. He’s a great kid who is mature. He can run, he has played defensive end and linebacker. He has tremendous upside. We think that we’ll be able to develop him through our strength and training and coaching on the field.”

UT’s rival has been OU for a long time..
A&M has always been something of an enigma me. They are something to laugh at because they get so tied up to trying to compete with UT. Now that they are gone, si be it.

is A&M and TT rivals?
To be a rival the game has to be emotionally vested from both sides..
The A&M game was more about Aggy misery and finishing the season than the overwhelming desire to crush A&M.

normally either OCC or unfortunately TT/KSU
the Aggy draw is because it is the last game of the season.. would it still be the same draw if it was the 2nd or 3rd game..
no..
If a game has to rely on placement on the schedule to maintain interest, then it is not a rival.

If you’re trying to tell me that A&M cared more about it than UT, I’ll agree 100%. But to say that UT wasn’t emotionally invested in that game is completely absurd.

this is a fair complaint against A&M. But to say that UT doesn’t care about beating a school that’s similarly sized, similarly ranked academically and has quite a bit of football history itself is stupid.

They both suffer from one of my least favorite trends in CFB
the blank off the rack pants… save Notre Dame, where it perfectly fits the uniform, I don’t think it particularly looks good on any school. Texas, Penn State, etc. would ALL look better with some kind of stripe.
As far as the jerseys go, there are things about both I like and both I dislike. Oregon has the ugliest font known to man (although the revision they used for the Orange Bowl wasn’t terrible).. Arizona State just kind of felt uninspired, they went too hard trying to go “fierce”

i completely agree.
its a tough subject, and it can easily be abused. but at the same token, these coaches dont want to get blindsided when these high profile kids have the ability to jump from school to school. it has something to do with why LSUs class isnt as good. they were at one time holding scholarship space for gunner and landon (probably not so much on landon) and had to scramble when they decided to go elsewhere.

I don't think you saw a huge jump solely from that this year
I would attribute any jump you did see more to last year’s performance on a big stage. In coming years, though, you will no doubt find yourselves welcomed into homes where you weren’t before.

I wouldn't say he's a jackass, personally.
He’s just incredibly uptight and used to doing things a very different way than we are around here. He would survive on LSB for about a day before the Angrydome either tore him to pieces or convinced him to do it himself.

but what is the value of putting together a list that is “biased and one-sided” from the start.
inside info from a few teams does NOT mean that they should be ranked higher. Should prospect guys also rank people they saw themselves higher than ones they heard about/saw video of? Should awards voting be done based on their view of the player (how you end up with FOTF as a #1 mvp vote) or on the overall view of known information?

But I think that’s what they want. I’m certainly not the type of poster they would want to participate in discussions there, and I don’t. So he’s really just doing a good job.

i was ready to totally drop it
before reading this:
I acknowledge that argument, but don’t agree with it for reasons I already stated.
One part is that we (the people ranking) had more information than the general public did/does. The other part is that the limited track record of the GM was simply not germane to the ranking. And if that’s your main concern, then I can’t see much of a gulf in disagreement. Honestly looking back, where would you have ranked them?

Quite a bit of contact with multiple members of Mariners front office, past and present.
So, for one example, we had knowledge of just how much (heavily) they were amping up the saber-route in terms of player analysis and that Jack Z was well known for his scouting prowess with Milwaukee. It’s one-sided of course, but that didn’t make it untrue.

Absolutely correct
The staff had just got lazy and entitled and made terrible evaluations. After the changes they have done a lot better the last couple of classes. The talent there now is a lot better than people realize. It is just that it is so young. Hopefully this coming year we get back to consistently winning ten games a year.

if oklahoma state can land seth jacobs
i will be so happy
I was really hoping they would get both him and Elston.
Class as a whole seems to compliment the 2011 class defensively. Losing Allen to Oregon is disappointing considering the success they have in developing big receivers.
one of my best friends really follows this stuff
i have trouble keeping track of all the names. but if ok state wants you to play wideout and you’re a big receiver why the fuck would you go to a place like oregon or almost anywhere else
anyways i was tryin to get schultzys attention b/c i saw marcus smart and phil forte play allen last night and they did not disappoint. forte hit about 5 3’s and he shot them all about 2-3 feet behind the line, he’ll be a better shooter than page. they’re both incredibly jacked too, both were very physically imposing for their size
and smart is just unbelievable, he can do it all, defend, dribble, shoot, pass (made about 3 no look passes and 1 sick alley oop pass) he could get to the rim any time he wants. ft shooting could use some work also he’s a great hustle player, he and forte both dove for loose balls about 8 times. smart scared the hell outta me twice, once he had to come out the game b/c he banged his head real hard diving for a ball and another was when forte threw him a bad alley oop pass and he landed on his back or hands, thought for a second he might have broke his wrist or something
shouldnt have even been in there since they were up 28 w/4 minutes left in the game.
but idk how much smart will score in college, but he’s the real deal holyfield
I can't wait
I think the team can take some big steps next year. This season they basically have no pressure and so players can develop.
Perseverance isn't just the willingness to work hard. It's that, plus the willingness to be stubborn about your own belief in yourself."

Will Nash be back next season? Or are they still allowed to jump to pros after 1 year?
If he is back they could put out an athletic lineup with decent all-around size outside of Guerrero and this Forte. They won’t have a sure enough talented big man unless there is more to Jurick then I know, which is very possible.
I am thinking Nash stays for another year
He has struggled too much so far and has lost some of his hype/value
They are obviously weak on big men. Jurick is decent. Good rebounder and gets quite a few blocks but has no offensive presence

but he really needs to stay another year.

idk, ever since i saw him in hs last year i was wary of him, he doesnt play w/much passion and it shows in his game at times
But when he does, it is such a pretty thing to see

Hey, if I got popped in the nose last Friday, and it bled just a little
nothing looks out of place, but it’s still tender. Do you think I need to go to the doctor, even though I can’t afford it?
* I am not a doctor *
It’s hard for me to say from this. I’ve only observed one broken nose treatment, so I don’t feel really confident giving out advice on it, especially since it seems like a lot of the diagnosis comes from physical exam.
In general, if something is broken, you’ll know because the pain doesn’t go away after a day or two the way sprains or contusions most often do. It’s a bit different in the nose with all of the cartilage, but the truism may still hold.
If it’s still swollen, very painful (especially to the touch), or you see blood at all, I would recommend going.

#1. hes not a "long time commit". only been since september. we had over 3/4ths of our class put together since then.
#2. its been long thought he wasnt going to academically qualify.
#3. hes known for almost a month that we wanted to gray shirt him.
#4. he ended up at arkansas, so i think he landed on his feet pretty well.
its really easy to get up in arms about someone else’s recruiting class when everyone else spurned you and you only signed 19 kids.
teams that signed more kids than bama in the top 25: texas, miami, UCLA, vatech. with 5 others at 25.
you going to call that kid that spurned notre dam a POS human-being too? he did essentially the same exact thing.

Dude...
Saban is a a great coach, but also a complete asshole. Even some Bama fans agree with me, they just don’t give a fuck because he wins football games.
1. 5 months of commitment is a quite a while, not something to scoff at.
2. That’s no excuse to take away the scholarship he was guaranteed when he committed.
3. Then why didn’t this come up until NSD? People were reporting that he was literally crying this morning. They may have hinted it was a possibility a month ago, but there’s no way he knew definitively until today.
4. Him ending up at a decent school anyways isn’t a good excuse for doing that to a kid.

"I just wanna go gay." - bigtill
yes, he is an asshole.
but you need to understand something…no scholarship was taken away. he still had an offer to be an alabama player, he would just have to wait till january to enroll. he still had options, and he knew about those options (whether you think he didnt or not) for about a month.
yes, grayshirting can suck, and it looks bad on the surface. but saban easily couldve have waitied until today and left him with nothing. he couldve completely yanked their offer all together. we had two gray-shirt candidates, both of whom recently had major ACL reconstructive surgery, both knew for about a month our intentions to grayshirt them, both ended up signing with quality institutions.
i know it sucks, but saban would rather go through something like that, than end up like brian kelley who lost some kid at the last second and didnt have a backup plan. we had two kids in collins and greene who easily couldve gone to LSU or Georgia respectively. what if they did switch on NSD and we didnt have someone ready to take his place? Saban is doing everything within his legal power to ensure the success of alabama.
the question then, is, why arent you angry at your coach for not doing everything in his power to recruit to the extent of what is allowed? why arent you angry at your coach for losing 50% of his last 2 recruiting classes? why arent you angry at your coach for only signing 19 kids? If most of you auburn fans would stop looking over the fence and actually look at what is going on in your own backyard, you probably wouldnt be so mad.

Ok.
Why should I be mad that Auburn signed 19 kids? We swung and missed on some high-profile prospects. There’s nothing morally wrong with that. We still had one of the highest ranked classes by star avg, so it’s not like it lacked in quality. And while yes, Auburn’s attrition has been bad recently, that’s because a lot of kids have done stupid shit to get kicked off the team, not because Chizik manages his 85 scholarships like an NFL roster.
What Bama is doing is wrong because commitment is a two-way street. When a player commits to a school, the school is also committed to the player. If that player doesn’t pan out, then the school shouldn’t back out of that commitment after one or two years. It’s the coaches fault for incorrectly evaluating the recruit when he was in high school, so they should honor the kid’s scholarship. That commitment between the two sides applies from the time a recruit commits to your school, not just when he signs the papers.
"...Ron Washington is the Les Miles of MLB." - AJM
oh dont give me this moral high ground crap.
auburn is barely 24 hours into making that decision. and if youre going to start changing your arguement from “saban is a pos human being because he asked a kid to grayshirt” to “saban is a pos human being because he doesnt give 4 year scholarships”, then you need add the names of the coaches of about 90% college football.
again, i will reiterate: no commitment was pulled, no offer was yanked, no scholarship was taken away from those two kids.

Because I'd rather see head coaches act like they had a sense of morals.
I understand that BCS football is hypercompetitive, especially when it comes to recruiting, but the second you resort to ’he’s just doing what it takes to win’ justifying overtly screwing over a kid is the second that those who criticize college sports in general and college football specifically about this not being about student athletes and legitimizing their claim that the players should get paid as (semi)-professionals.

well i think judging a coaches morals on him asking a recruit to defer his enrollment is short sighted.
look at our SEC record academic honor roll selections. look at our graduation rate (second best of the final AP top 10 behind stanford). look at the almost 2 million dollars saban has given to area charities. look at all the work he did after the tornado. look at kids he has given medical scholarships to.
call saban an asshole. call him abbrasive. you could even call him a prick and i would largely agree with you. but i will defend him against being called a POS human being for asking a recruit to defer his enrollment. saban did not “overtly screw him over”. he was honest and upfront with the recruit and gave him plenty of time to weigh his options. he still had a scholarship offer. saban still wanted him to be a member of our team.

I agree that calling him a POS is over the line
and made comments that suggested it.
I still think oversigning is wrong. I know that this specific case wasn’t quite as bad and I know that verbal agreements are worth the paper they are printed on, but I think that this sort of last minute shennanigans goes against the spirit of the rules. Head Coaches in CFB have all of the power from the minute players step on campus and get multimillion dollar salaries to go along with it. I know that it seems unfair to programs and coaches and their fans for the switches that happen often enough with the elite guys, but this is basically the only step in the entire development path where the players have some control/power.

completely agree, which is why the SEC made oversigning illegal.
in the past, coaches could get those kids LOIs and make them greyshirt. now, they have to give that kid the option to defer his enrollment or look elsewhere. i think the main thing going forward is the amount of time given by those coaches to say “hey, this is what we want to do with you”. saban couldve waited till yesterday to tell these kids about greyshirting, but he told them a month ago – which was plenty of time for them to weigh their options and decide to go to kentucky and arkansas.
there is now a difference between “oversigning” and “greyshirting”. oversigning is wrong, yes, and is now illegal. grayshirting is a different matter – the commitment is still there, a scholarship is still theirs, but the date of their enrollment is changed, and they get counted towards the next years class. they have the option to take the greyshirt or sign with another school – which stresses the importance of time given to kids to open back up their recruitment.
again, i am in agreement. i dont like seeing kids get left out in the cold. i think the NCAA is making some quality headway in making it harder for programs to abuse the verbal agreements. i think it would also behoove the NCAA to allow for an early signing period in football like in basketball.

I don't think you can say that there is much commitment on the school's side in greyshirting.
In this instance, it just sounds like the next way to attempt to beat the system now that oversigning is illegal in the SEC. I know things change in recruiting, but if a school takes a 3* commitment over the summer, that kid’s scholarship should be a priority over a 5* who commits on NSD. It’s up to the coaches to gauge whether to accept a commitment at the time a recruit is ready to commit so this situation doesn’t happen.
With what happened yesterday, the month of advance warning that the recruits supposedly received doesn’t jive with the reaction from those recruits yesterday. I suppose it’s possible they just ignored Bama’s coaches a month ago, but those recruits acted like they fully expected to sign with Bama when they woke up yesterday morning. Philon even had a TV signing ceremony set up. The coaches from Bama probably told him a month ago that he would possibly have to take a greyshirt, but I doubt he was told anything definitive. Even if they were given definitive advice to look elsewhere, the newer commitments should have been the ones told they needed to greyshirt because of scholarship obligations to older commitments, not the other way around.
"...Ron Washington is the Les Miles of MLB." - AJM
part of the problem are some of the prima donna recruits who wait until the last second to chose their school
or even after NSD like winston. or even last year with cyrus. both alabama and auburn were holding a scholarship for him. the team he didnt choose would have an open scholarship they couldve used for someone else.
i agree more could be done, and more rules could be implemented. but i seriously think your efforts could be better used not accusing saban of being a POS human being when you have your own programs issues to worry about – or even other schools out there like stanford and GaTech that did much worse this recruiting season.

The only redeeming point in this class was Jason Smith as a 5.0 2*.
Future #2 overall pick in the draft.

Yeah, they moved him around at Baylor before he turned into a great LT.

Therm tells me he's likely to be cut by the Rams this offseason.
I have a sad about that.

He was a beast at Baylor though.
How he turned into that is beyond me but he did.

Has anyone linked to this?
I like that DGB’s mom described Kiffin as a jilted girlfriend.
"He was kind of like the girlfriend that’s just like, ‘This is just a phase you’re going through, you really don’t want to break up with me,’" Tracy Beckham said.

It is amazing how much the little things can matter.
Other schools that found out they had been cut actually hadn’t been in the race for months. John Beckham decided he didn’t want Dorial to play at one school after he saw a coach slam a headset at the end of the game instead of simply handing it to a waiting assistant.
The coach was Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly, Tracy Beckham said.

There is so much gold in this article it's crazy. Stuff I NEVER would have thought about.
Dorials made his first official visit to Texas in November for the Longhorns’ game against Kansas State. He and his family dined at Vince Young Steakhouse on the eve of the contest, but under NCAA rules, the school could pay to feed only Dorial and his parents, not his brother and a friend, whose meals cost $50 each.
"You have to make money like Vince Young to eat at that place because it was so expensive," Tracy Beckham said.
The morning of the game, the Beckhams ate breakfast with the Longhorns at the Omni Hotel. The breakfast buffet was a pricey $50 per person, so the Beckhams had their son and his friend order off the menu to save money.

Hahahaha, OU reported Arkansas. Awesome.
Earlier, they had also run into Oklahoma co-offensive coordinators Norvell and Josh Heupel and had talked to them for a while. The conversation was allowed under NCAA rules, but it also counted as one of the assistant coaches’ three off-campus visits.
But a head coach like Petrino is allowed to make only one off-campus visit to a recruit. The Beckhams talked with him and another Arkansas assistant for five minutes and left.
Tracy Beckham said Norvell saw the conversation and someone later reported it to the NCAA.

This is what I was talking about, Mizzou fans.
When Dorial and his family took their final official visit to Missouri the next day, the Tigers’ Yost told the Beckhams to make sure to let him know when they got to Jefferson City, Mo., which is just 30 miles south of the university. After they did, they started noticing signs like "MIZ-DGB" and "Come Home To Be A True Son" hanging off highway overpasses.
That kind of coordination is illegal.

The next day, when Dorial and his family arrived to watch the Missouri’s men’s basketball team play, the crowd roared. Before the game, there were fliers in the stands that said, "Mizzou has brought in the #1 ranked football player in the entire COUNTRY for today’s game . . . We’re changing the MIZ . . . ZOU chant today to MIZ . . . DGB. Please let Dorial feel the love and welcome him home to MIZZOU!!"

i wonder, since they didnt actually say his name....
but it def raises eyebrows. our student sections chant names of recruits all the time (as im sure most do) but not with that kind of official assistance.

Cheating works ladies and gents!
Why is this even a rule? Wouldn’t the university want to give the recruit the best possible on campus experience?

Obviously it could be exploited
But to have kids cheer on the recruit when he comes to visit doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.

I bet agree on almost everything CFB related outside of the Auburn/Bama rivalry. That’s obviously because our teams love cheating. Welcome to the club, mizzou!

Dorial’s relationship with Missouri first began shortly after he moved in with the Beckhams in 2007. The shy seventh-grader was 6-foot-3 at the time and John Beckham took him to a Tigers football camp.
It was primarily for high school juniors and seniors, but Dorial fit right as a wide receiver, despite having hardly ever played football.
"This guy," John Beckham recalled thinking as he watched Dorial in action, "could be really good."
Missouri’s coaches were also impressed by Dorial’s potential. When they asked him what school he attended, he told them Reed.
They had never heard of the school and Dorial explained to them that it was Reed Middle School.
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

They met Texas coach Mack Brown, who they thought was the most personable of all the head coaches. Tracy Beckham described him as "Mr. Picture Guy."
"The other head coaches might be like, ‘OK, let’s get a picture,’ " she said. "He’s like, ‘OK, now the moms!’ He’s like the wedding planner. He’s like, ‘OK everybody, Hook ‘em ‘Horns, here we go!’ He’s just hilarious. ‘OK, hold up this Heisman Trophy!’ It’s just like one thing after another."

sounds like big ten peeps are not happy with urban meyer
This all started when Wisconsin’s Bret Bielema and Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio publicly criticized Meyer’s recruiting tactics. Of the ten players that committed to Ohio State after Meyer became head coach, eight had previously committed to other schools. That includes offensive tackle Kyle Dodson (Wisconsin) and defensive end Se’Von Pittman (Michigan State).
“You’re pissed because we went after a committed guy? Guess what, we got 9 guys who better go do it again,” said Meyer. “Do it a little harder next time.”

Auburn signs 4*/5* OT Jordan Diamond.
O-Line recruiting has been ridiculous for the past couple years. Auburn could field an entire line of 4-5* OTs.
One prospect left… Stefon Diggs.
