Early Verbal Commitments of 2009

In my opinion, it is a little too early to start thinking about 2009 recruiting, at least in terms of commitment. However, I was browsing the list of Rival’s Top 100, and I was surprised at how many players have already given strong verbal commitments. From the top 25 along, we have:
1. Matt Barkley, QB, […]

JoePa Says No to Early Signing

Last week, I talked about the SEC’s debate regarding adding an early signing day to the schedule. Although 9 out or 12 SEC head coaches voted in favor of adding the day, the presidents and athletic directors ultimately voted it down, so the SEC will not officially endorse the idea.
And Penn State’s Joe Paterno […]

The SEC: Stuck in their Signing Ways?

This past week, the SEC head coaches (well, the majority of them anyway) proposed that an early signing day be added to the schedule, allowing prospects to sign on the Monday before the start of the contact period (Dec. 1). In effect, the proposal would have split the signing period in two, but it looks […]

The Problem with May Recruiting

Recently, I talked about how coaches are using webcams to recruit since they aren’t yet allowed to visit high school campuses. While I think that recruiting is a vital part of any successful college football program, I do have a bit of a problem with high school players being recruited in the spring.
Here’s my […]

Webcam Networking

ESPN posted an interesting article earlier this week about webcams. The rules of the road are changing in college football, and with advances in technology, many coaches, including Nick Saban, will be recruiting via webcam this year to bypass the “Saban Rule”.
This NCAA rules is keeping head coaches from visiting high schools through May. […]

Nobody Knows who the Kicker Is…

…until you need him.

A good kicker can be the MVP of a game, but unfortunately, kickers rarely receive any recognition. Unless they are really, really bad, people generally don’t know their names. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it. Here are the top ten Kicker recruits and where they’ll be heading this […]

Terrelle Pryor Chooses Ohio State

It is official - Terrelle Pryor, 2008’s top recruit, has chosen Ohio State. Overall, looking at this from JUST a football standpoint, I think he would have had more opportunity at Michigan, especially since they don’t have a quarterback*. Ohio State had Boeckmen, who they’d be crazy to take off the starting line-up, but some […]

Countdown to the Most Hyped Recruiting Announcement Ever: Terrelle Pryor Chooses a College

Terrelle Pryor, the number one college football recruit for 2008, has finally made a decision.
Well, almost.
Pryor, along with a few other top recruits, didn’t choose a school on National Signing Day, and his moves have been watched closely every since. Last word was that he was deciding between Oregon, Penn State, Michigan, and Ohio State. […]

Why Players Wait

There are still some top high school players that haven’t committed to a college. Why do they wait? Do they want to torture future coaches while they can, knowing that they’ll be subject to crazy hard workouts in the future? Are they still looking at frat house options? Will they go with the school that […]
