Love watching this every year, they do a good job with the recruit decisions...



Personally, I am anticipating Chris Donald's (#1 LB in the nation, from Tennessee) decision. He is down to either UT or ND and was originally going to announce before the game but I think he is doing it during the game now... he would be HUGE.

I wonder if the bowl performances will affect his decision since UT gave their game away, and if ND suprises everyone tonight against LSU... the fact the he is delaying his decision until the game now might mean that he wanted to wait to see how the bowl games panned out.

so.... whats up

1/3/2007 7:26:37 PM

I don't think we are in the running for anyone in this game, therefore it is pointless for us to watch, unlike the year Baker was in it, and Pressley and M. Hall (South carolina) the year before that

1/3/2007 7:30:21 PM

oh... no one? Come on, there has to be someone... maybe TOB can drag some recruits with him down from BC... and you should still care to see what the competition is getting at least

1/3/2007 7:31:38 PM

I MIGHT watch just to see Greg Little fall on his face... What time is the game? We should all be at the RBC Center on Saturday afternoon to begin with.

1/3/2007 8:54:06 PM

Quote :

"Arthur Ray Jr., a three-star offensive line prospect out of Chicago, is currently in Florida preparing for Thursday's Offense-Defense All-American Bowl and the 6-2, 297-pound guard plans on leaving the Sunshine State for a visit to NC State when the game ends. Ray is listed as a soft verbal commitment to Boston College after pledging his services to the Eagles in July. According to his father, Arthur Sr., most schools backed off after the commitment to BC, but when head coach Tom O'Brien left for NC State Ray began to explore his options. He's not considering the Wolfpack, Michigan State, Illinois and Maryland along with Boston College. With much of the Boston College staff expected to join O'Brien at NC State it seems like the Pack might have an edge and Ray's father said his son wouldn't be visiting Raleigh if he wasn't "very interested" in NC State.

"East Matt Simms QB 6-3/200 Don Bosco (Ramsey, NJ) "

Phil's son, correct? I heard he committed to Louisville?

V or because he is a complete idiot? I read he lists WVU first now. He'll never qualify though, I guarantee it. He should go to Florida where they still take non-quals.

1/4/2007 3:34:24 PM

I guess Noel Devine isnt playing in that game because he would show everybody else up?

1/4/2007 3:40:45 PM

Devine is tiny... if he goes to the SEC he will get hurt every year

1/4/2007 4:12:11 PM

He's not any less strong than Percy Harvin or CJ Spiller. SEC schools had no trouble recruiting them. Sure he is only a shade under 5'9" but he isn't a stick either. Hell Harvin was only 5'10" 183 coming in this year..

[Edited on January 4, 2007 at 4:19 PM. Reason : he's the #1 rb in the country for a reason...]

1/4/2007 4:15:54 PM

he's small but he's very strong for his size

and it doesnt hurt that he runs a 4.35 40

1/4/2007 4:23:47 PM

it'll be two years before devine plays in college. can you say... milford prep?

1/4/2007 4:25:17 PM

Milford Academy. They are notorious for pimping out their players to different schools than they originally committed to. Pretty much every college coach hates them from what I can tell..

I lived 5 minutes from the school in CT. How so much talent passes through there is beyond me..

1/4/2007 4:28:15 PM

didnt say they would have a problem recruiting them... just that he would get hurt...


and Harvin is primarily a WR now for that exact reason, and Spiller plays against little boys, not men

1/4/2007 4:30:39 PM

hes playing in the game. i saw a video of him with an interviewer from scout.com on the fsu site. hes down to WVU and FSU

post commits ftw plz

1/6/2007 1:22:21 PM

Chris Little to FSU, was a "lock" for Clemson at one time

1/6/2007 1:34:29 PM

Barksdale - LSU, or as he said "The University of LSU"

[Edited on January 6, 2007 at 1:39 PM. Reason : d]

1/6/2007 1:37:58 PM

^ Yeah that was funny

Kinda like DeMario Pressley saying he was going to the University of North Carolina State

Quote :

"I guess Noel Devine isnt playing in that game because he would show everybody else up?"

I bet it has to do more with the fact that he's a freaking retard. He isn't going to any major university any time soon.

Then again, I think Ricky-Jean Francois played last year.... and he had some pretty bad grades as well (And I think he actually plays for LSU this year somehow? Gotta love the SEC!)

1/6/2007 1:57:47 PM

wow, Martin (#3 DE, 4.5-40 ) to Tennessee is huge, NEVER thought we could steal him away from Ohio State...now if we can get Donald

1/6/2007 3:17:13 PM

those bastards, holding Donald to the end, if Tennessee can get Donald, they will probably have the #2 class, maybe even #1, but probably #2
