NSD day. Let's keep this ***** up all day. For starters I'm hearing Brissett to the U. Not confirmed yet though.
It's a battle between Wisky and Miami for Brissett from what I hear. We'll know Friday which one he chooses.
I know Stripes/UTVols2/Lung are happy pulling Byron Moore. Miami could have used him pretty badly to give them a solid body as a top CB. He'll probably play S and defend the slot on 3rd downs for UT.
Miami's class ranking by most services will end up well out of the top 25, probably out of the top 30 unless some crazy stuff happens tomorrow. I like this class thus far though if everyone sticks. Lots of highly regarded 3* kids (aka, kids that had offer lists a mile long but just weren't ranked highly in most services)...and most of them verbaled after Shannon was gone and Golden stepped in. Take Kevin Grooms for instance--VT fans on most boards were livid that Golden swooped in on him. They wanted him to come in and take one of the RB slots that is being vacated by Williams/Evans departures to the NFL. They valued him pretty highly, and he will probably return kicks for Miami right off the bat and could possibly help us fill a hole at either CB or WR even though his natural spot is RB.
Golden has been a mad man on the trail thus far, and Brennan Carroll is going to pay major dividends for Miami in recruiting going forward. I can't wait to see what Golden can do with a full year to recruit the 2012 kids, especially if he and his staff coaches on the field as well as they've recruited so far, and have a solid winning season to use as ammunition.
Keep in mind too that Miami is one of the schools that Tom Savage is looking at now that he's been cleared to transfer from Rutgers, and also that if Duron Carter can get qualified out of Juco, he has named Miami as the place he wants to be. Both of those would be big pickups. We likely won't know about either until later this month, maybe even until early March.
I know me and UTVols were both up last night at midnight to hear officially that Moore was coming to UT. He looks like he'll be a good one.
btw, cc... Did you know that Cooper's brother is in this years class? He's a db named Tino Thomas. He's commited to UT. (this isn't a ha ha sort of thing, just didn't know if you knew).
Yeah I knew about that. He's another kid I scratched my head about when Shannon was still in charge. A brother of a current Cane, who plays a position of need (CB), and who would have probably came to Miami had they offered...but Shannon never offered him. Yet another reason why I'm glad Shannon's gone.Quote:

If Tino is anything like Coop, ya'll got a good one. Coop wasn't super-highly rated coming out of Melrose either. He prepped at Milford for a year and came out of there a 5*, but was a HS 3*, just like Tino. Best of luck to Tino.
Moore, Clear,, I hope there are some more surprises..
Got Curt Maggitt tonight over UF too. :)
I was bout to say that Maggitt just committed to UT.
This is the first year in a while ive actually dreaded NSD.
the big names Bama is after, notably Crowell, will most likely go somewhere else.
Im even hearing that big Cy K. might choose Auburn :(
Doubt it. If so, he's a moron. There was a rumor going around an hour or so that Pagan had commited to Bama.Quote:

I know Tom Luginbill was on Finebaums show and said he thinks Cyrus goes to AU.
The same day AU is hosting 4-5 big time recruits, and it just so happens the same day a reality TV star from some show called the Bad Girls Show or something is making an appearance in AUBURN, AL. She made stops in LA, NY, Chicago, and now outta the blue she is gonna be in Auburn.
hahahah, UFs scout site has the front page main article about UT stealing a player. thats awesome. You guys gotta be loving that.
I keep hearing Pagan to UGA. I simply cannot believe UGA is getting all these big time players. Why in the world are these guys going there? Its a program on the downslide bad right now.
Drew, Crowell, M. Mitchell, etc..
Dumbasses haha
I was getting my taxes done and didn't even know about Maggitt till a few minutes ago. I was just tickled for Clear to be confirmed.
I'm glad I got you to look at that link earlier, biggin. Their subscribers were raising hell and forced the mods to change the title. :lol:
Maggitt makes what, three 4* recruits in the last day or so for UT?
hah yeah I'd say so. If it was the Bama scout site and the front page story was about losing a big recruit to Auburn, the Bama fans would murder the writer and the host.Quote:

So Lung/Stripes, what big names will UT land tomorrow?
and yall were talking about Tino earlier, I think he may turn out to be the best player from Tenn this year.
That was 3 4*'s in less than 24 hours.
Lamar Dawson, the best player and LB out of KY. Antonio Richardson the OT from TN and TN's top player. Possibly, Gabe Wright. Who knows with that goofy *******. Maybe Timmy Jernigan but he's probably making my old buddy LPDBlue/CP7 happy. Some people are saying there'll be a big suprise tomorrow, but I have no sure idea who it is.Quote:

Only the morons. That's not who I was refering to. The FSU trolling guys started that a few ran with it.
I forgot Clear was from TN. Im a moron.
Antonio Richardson is a hot name, several schools believe they will land him.
UK fans are dying for Dawson, if UT gets him I know a few that may go postal haha
and Gabe Wright is absolutely nuts, im not sure if anybody wants him.
the big ones Bama is in on:
Crowell
Cyrus K.
Pagan
Brassell
and a few more
a few of the big ones (clinton-dix, hart, etc..) have already enrolled
Ding. I will sit here at my desk and crap on myself if Wilder signs. Honest I will.Quote:

USC colored tie on.
USC it is. Yaw Yaw and his Red Bulls must have done the trick.
Pagan a Bammer.
Tiny to UT. Richardson is an excellent get over Aubie.
I'm tickled to death to pull Jalen Grimble from USC. Not only b/c the kid could end up playing either DE or DT in D'Onofrio's scheme, but b/c his cousin Xavier who was a 4* TE in last year's class is thinking of joining Jalen in Coral Gables via a transfer from USC.

Alright Gabe Wright, you are about the last one left that I know if that we have a shot at but he is probably Auburn bound.
He needs to hurry so I can go take a nap.
Bout that time.
Im not liking the pictures I am seeing.
Crowell just broke out a "real" Bulldog, lol. Gabe said get that away from me.
Cyrus hasn't faxed LOI to Barner?
Still a very solid class. Would have been thrilled to have added Jernigan or Wright. I am hoping now Wright turns out to be a headcase.

i told yall last night, i just had a bad feeling about the whole situation. Cyrus has been a Bama LOCK until what, a week ago? Then all of the sudden AU jumps in the picture out of nowhere and he commits there?!?!?
Pagan was a nice surprise, and I knew Calloway would switch back, AU was not gonna let him play RB anyway
and if Cy is waiting on the check to clear hehe, we can send an EVEN BIGGER one haha
I dunno whats going on, Rivals has him as signed, Scout does not.
I shouldnt sound all gloom and doom, its not like Bama has had a bad day and Rivals has them as #1 overall.
I doubt Cyrus switches, but even if he doesnt I like the class.
Dirty Pool Bammer Media Dirty Pool haha
wesrucker247 Vols signee Cameron Clear told ESPN Radio Knoxville that some Alabama media members tried convincing him to sign with the Tide.
