Kinda agree......our current K is a Sr. Blue Shirt strategy works here.

He would be a nice late addition. 1st team all american ILB at Kilgore. Lead USA in tackles as a Freshman. #10 as Soph.....be sweet to see his name tomorrow.

[CajunT]

Please be Gooden or Josh Smith!

Not Gooden, but another DL that was a 4 star out of HS just like him.

Yup. They dropped him like .005 points.

He hasn't committed publicly, so we will see if he holds tomorrow.

All the more reason not to get hang up with stars. Remember what BasinBear said about development and projection. That is the key to success, not how your class is ranked on signing day. Basketball example, Bryce Washington and Jonathon Stove were just ranked as OK guys coming out of HS. Now they are the team leaders to one of the most successful squads to date in school history. Our staff may not have projected that degree of progression, but they did project they would develop beyond their rankings. Does this football staff have potential to do similar things with the athletes they are bringing in. If so, they will make us all happy.

What time do the fax machines start tomorrow? Assuming the university will be updating on the web?

I just want this staff to keep more than 25% of the recruiting class
