Actually, Davis wasn't the player i thought was going to commit at some point, but it looks like he could be a pretty darn good one once he puts on more weight.

Wasn't he predicted to go somewhere else? Maybe i'm wrong about that, but i don't remember much buzz surrounding him going to Illinois.

and another one. Off course it has to be Mizzou.

Scratch another one off the list. Though we weren't in his top 3 apparently.

We really need some good football recruiting news. A lot of "Nothing" lately when it comes to football. Yeah, we have been hearing about players visiting, but no one has pulled the trigger yet.

Apparently they have plenty of money to spend on players. If a school is going to offer a big bag, they will shoot to the top real quick.

Your statement was essentially that the football program didn't deserve as much money as the basketball program. The reason why they got to the Final 4 is because they had enough money to go out and get top players. If the football program can't get the money it needs to go out and get high...

Well, if you don't have enough money to get good players then it's impossible to go to a Championship, right? How do you expect the football program to be in the top 10 and to be a real legit contender if you don't have money to do it?

And as a football guy, this pisses me off to no end. We finally have turned things around with a real good coach, and yet, They are being treated like the red headed step child. If i were Bret, i would leave. Why stay here knowing he is getting screwed over money wise? I think he has given some...

this is just another reason why i don't get that excited about recruiting anymore.
