You could say this has been kind of a quiet year in SC recruiting...with only 14 commits, they're all top notch guys though.

How many schollys do you have available - is it supposed to be a small class?

We only have 15 commits right now, but we have about 7 or 8 scholarships left.

[chagrin]

Lots of Notre Dame declarations today

I don't "think" it's suppose to be small, I think it comes with offering tons of top guys and waiting for commits and all that.

[KcMizzou]

The old "lonesome polecat" formation??

[DaKCMan AP]

QB MarQueis Gray going to Minnesota

[DaKCMan AP]

The Georgia kicker misses the FG ROFL

DB Gerell Robinson going to ASU

[DaKCMan AP]

OL A.J. Harmon going to Georgia.. couldn't understand a damn thing coming out of his mouth.

[Frazod]

Entertaining game. That was one hell of a pass on the last touchdown drive.

These guys sure don't look like high school players.

[chagrin]

haha, that guy just dissed florida on the under armour game, lol!

[DaKCMan AP]

haha, that guy just dissed florida on the under armour game, lol!

I wasn't watching, what happened?

[Frazod]

Gabbert's playing now.

[Frazod]

Gabbert's a mobile little bastard. Just avoided two tackles in his own endzone, then completed a pass to the far side of the field.

Nice. :thumb:

[DaKCMan AP]

DT Solomon Koehler going to Arizona

[doomy3]

I wasn't watching, what happened?


Oh, just some big TE chose LSU over Florida and Alabama.

[DaKCMan AP]

Oh, just some big TE chose LSU over Florida and Alabama.

Not surprising since we nabbed 5-star and 2006-2007 class #1 TE Aaron Hernandez last year.

[Mecca]

I wasn't watching, what happened?

He had a UGA, UF and LSU hat sitting on the table in front of them, he spread them out and put the UF one in the middle..he picked it up like he was going there and popped a OU hat out from under it and put that on...

Oh, I missed that. I was talking about something else alltogether DaKCMan AP.

[DaKCMan AP]

WR Deion Walker chooses ND

[Mecca]

This guy in the under armour game, Julio Jones the WR, he's damn impressive.

[DaKCMan AP]

Hopefully he will be a Gator. His official visit is set for 1/18.

[DaKCMan AP]

DB Patrick Johnson will go to LSU :banghead:

[Mecca]

LSU goes into Florida and steals a guy...

[DaKCMan AP]

LSU goes into Florida and steals a guy...

He was a strong Miami recruit and just decommitted from there just recently.

[doomy3]

seems like LSU is set to dominate the SEC for a few years

[OmahaChief]

Partially correct. Shannon stopped recruiting him when his Dad started demanding money. LSU was the high bidder.

[Mecca]

Well he knew that Miami would suck regardless....there's really no excuse for that team sucking but it does...

Just like a team like UCLA there is 0 excuse for those teams to be bad.

[Mecca]

Partially correct. Shannon stopped recruiting him when his Dad started demanding money. LSU was the high bidder.

Why do those accusations always get thrown around when a guy decides to go to a different school than expected?

LSU fans and the like flipped out when Joe McKnight didn't go there, so then obviously USC cheated. It never fails a team doesn't get a player because the other school "cheated".

[OmahaChief]

Kinda like USC not many years back. It all goes in cycles. From 89-01 USC was irrelevant. Now you are not at some point you will struggle again. Every team does.

In the case of McKnight USC has already proven it cheats with the entire Reggie Busch fiasco and the Jarrett living arrangements. I figure people feel the precedent was set them for USC to be crooked. Until then I never would have doubted they were clean.

For LSU or a lot of SEC schools there is a laundry list of documented issues like those at Bama that lead a lot to think that the SEC is crooked. One example is DeWayne Bowe at LSU. Another kid Miami was recruiting until all of a sudden his Grandma was able to afford a new house and Bowed was rollin in an Escalade. Keep in mind Bowe's Granny was poor and there was no way for her to afford a new house.

[DaKCMan AP]

ROFL

Typically 5-7 SEC schools finish in the top 20 recruiting classes every year.

Shit, last year 7 SEC schools were in the top 10 recruiting classes. There is no such thing as a team dominating that conference.

No?

So, it's your stance that Florida is in a better position than LSU for the next few years?

[Mecca]

I don't worry about it because fact is if it's as widespread as most people seem to think it is, is it really cheating if everyone does it?

[OmahaChief]

OL Matt Patchan who was invited but isn't playing in this game shunned Miami to commit to Florida today. :)

Big loss for the Canes. That 48-0 assbeating UM took by VA was the clincher for UF I think.

My only issue with Patchan is he ran his mouth about UM not having any heart and things like that. Which was true in my opinion. Then he spurns UM instead of being part of the solution. He seems to bit a bit of a frontrunner as he left his old high school to go to another to attempt to win a state title. He lost to the boys from Booker T that are going to UM though. UF is more title ready then UM so it was his choice.

[SoCalBronco]

He was NEVER a strong Miami recruit. He refused to see Miami coaches when they came by his school to see him numerous times. PJ can have his money, let him go to L$U.

[DaKCMan AP]

No?

So, it's your stance that Florida is in a better position than LSU for the next few years?

What's your argument that LSU is clearly in a better position, in fact good enough to dominate?

We had the #1 recruiting class last year and #2 the prior. We'll probably finish top-10 (definitely top-15) again this year.

I'm pretty sure his Dad and Uncle will never show their face at a UM game/alumni get together or event again. Good. They're no longer welcome at Dolphin Stadium as far as I'm concerned.

LMAO

Sorry, I love how the Canes homefield is now "Dolphins Stadium".

[OmahaChief]

I would say it is but that is strictly my opinion. If stealing is against the law and a bunch of people are doing it, it does not make it right. Totally different circumstances than football but the same logic could apply.

[Mecca]

I seriously crack up at the L$u or U$C stuff...whenever another program is on top people must do that...

I'm sure the great Hurricanes were the exception when they were great though huh, they weren't like the big bad LSU's and USC's.

[OmahaChief]

Could not agree more. The only person that seemed to stay loyal was his Mom that was in tears. And from all accounts not tears of joy.

[SoCalBronco]

Yeah...I saw that.....its too bad....at least Mrs. Patchan is still a real Cane.

[Mecca]

Man the kid can go where he wants, that's almost as bad as when Vidal Hazeltons dad tried to make him go to Penn State.

When the Canes were great their were issues. The Pell Grant scandal almost killed the team. The Canes have never been associated with the paying of players since then though and we have won a couple of NCs since then.

[OmahaChief]

Man the kid can go where he wants, that's almost as bad as when Vidal Hazeltons dad tried to make him go to Penn State.

No one is saying he can not nor was he obligated to go to UM in any way. My issue is him running his mouth like a big man and then tucking tail when the shit hit the fan and running to UF.

[SoCalBronco]

LMAO

I don't like typing Dolphin Stadium but what can you do, its a better revenue stream and better for recruiting....I wish they had renovated the Orange Bowl earlier though.....it hurt very much seeing us make the formal announcement that we would be leaving.

[DaKCMan AP]

No?

So, it's your stance that Florida is in a better position than LSU for the next few years?

There's a reason no school has repeated as SEC Champion since Tennessee in 97-98 and Florida from 93-96

[SoCalBronco]

Man the kid can go where he wants, that's almost as bad as when Vidal Hazeltons dad tried to make him go to Penn State.

Let him go to Florida with his girlfriend......he's a frontrunner. He talked about how much he loved the U so much, his whole family are Canes and then criticized the effort...why don't you be part of the solution? He already admitted that this Miami incoming class is a historic one, yet he wants instant gratification. Fine....let him go to Hogtown, I don't really care.


He'll end up just like Jonathon Colon and Dee Webb.

And BTW this line of argumentation is EXTREMELY HYPOCRITICAL COMING FROM YOU. Where were you when Whitney Lewis was dying to go to Florida State to be with his buddy Lorenzo Booker but his Mom blocked him and forced him to sign with USC.....he never wanted to be there and it showed, you ruined him and he transferred to some Div-1aa school. So dont turn around and tell me "let him go where he wants to go".

[Mecca]

Whitney should have gone to FSU like he wanted, I won't even argue that. He shouldn't have come to SC he never panned out mostly because he didn't want to be there is my view.

I think it works that way all the time, he should have gone where he wanted, I'll always say that no matter what way it goes. If you make a guy go where he doesn't want to be it doesn't work...Whitney wasn't good for us at all.

[CoMoChief]

you mean U$C?

[Mecca]

And there it is.....USC gets recruits because they are good and have a coach that they believe can put them in the NFL..

Any school that has that will get recruits.

[Sam Hall]

As one of the resident Husker fans, I think we should stop kissing these kid's asses and wait to see if they can handle college football. Not only that, recruiting is important, but coaching is more important.

[Frazod]

Hey Sam, how'd you think Gabbert looked?

Hmm?

:Poke:

[Sam Hall]

Hey Sam, how'd you think Gabbert looked?

:Poke:

I didn't watch the game. I can't fault him for leaving after the coach who recruited him was fired. The new staff has a good chance to sign a kid named Kody Spano.

I just don't care about number of stars and rankings anymore. I doubt Pinkel and Mangino care, either. Coaches know more than those recruiting analysts. Many of the best players in college football and the NFL were not highly recruited. Coaching and a kid's determination to succeed are what matters.
