If he was 6-6/230...I'd be impressed. He looks like a tweener with decent athleticism but not fast/quick enough to play WR or big enough to be a TE in Big 10. I'm sorry.

No they are not. They are gone. Awards banquet tonight. Doesn't appear any commitments coming tonight. Howard Watkins - commitment coming soon, we look very strong here Three ESL kids - academic concerns here, but we appear to be leading for all three. Kendrick Green - offering late has put...

The guy who gave Carmoni Green a crystal ball to UNC last weekend, interviewed Green today after visit...did not re-do his crystal ball (in our favor). That is not a good sign in my book. We will see. Weather may be playing a part in any news.

ESL kids committing is what this tells me. I was hoping for about 10 commitments from this weekend. I'll take three though!

It is important to understand that we have a director of player personnel who heads up recruiting efforts, but we also have a former NFL scout who is considered a recruiting analyst that is primarily responsible for finding these under the radar talents.

This staff has a director of scouting which is something we ha e never had before. We have offered scholarships to a lot of under the radar athletes. Expect this to continue under this staff as Lovie was known in Chicago for wanting athletes that he could coach up. He is taking the same...

There is no doubt that Lawson is more talented. Crouch is marginal at best throwing the ball. If Lawson works out, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to see Crouch in a TE/FB/H-back role by his senior year

Lovie Smith mentioned Chayce Crouch today in his press conference and it was pretty obvious they fully expect Crouch to compete for starting job and be a leader of this team. I think he impressed the coaches way more than what has been led on. I'm not so sure he wouldn't have been the starter...

Strong never had full support and was on the hot seat as soon as he showed up. Tremendous football coach and person. Sometimes when you have a coach like Mack Brown who is around for a long time and the university is used to doing things a certain way, a "bridge" coach comes in to no fault of...

The reality is...Kiffin does not want to work for Saban anymore and would either be at LSU next year or will be a head coach. I think a job like Florida Atlantic would be smart for Kiffin to prove he can win and run a program then move up. 8 out of the 12 head coach openings have went to...

This had nothing to do with trying to screw USF. Taggart and Strong have been friends for a long time and Taggart probably offered this to Strong well before USF called.

Quarterback Dwayne Lawson 6-6/220 Garden City CC (Tampa, FL) 3 star - Big, athletic, strong armed QB with all the tools…can he pick up offense? Cam Thomas 6-3/180 Chicago Heights, IL (Marian Catholic) 3 star - Athletic, lean prospect with solid dual threat skills…he has been a phenomenal...

The lack of noise from the defensive back position in this recruiting season tells me that the staff feels extremely confident in their chances with Hafiz. It also leads me to believe the Tony Adams and potentially Reyondous Estes are being considered at CB. With 17 scholarships available and...

Florida Atlantic is pursuing Lane Kiffin. South Florida is zeroing in on Charlie Strong. Cincinnati likely will announce Luke Fickell soon.

It appears South Florida is making a very smart decision by wasting no time negotiating with Charlie Strong. Best fit available for Strong while also being a great situation for USF considering he'll come cheap with Texas being on the hook for large buyout.
