And the surprise is...

[lxa656]

Hey, just got back from the football banquet. They announced the recruit that no one knew of. His name is Gerron Blount, a CB from Texas. Rivals.com doesnt have anything on, so I dont know what the deal is with him yet. All I know was he was being heavily recruited by Texas Tech, Baylor, and Ok State. Apparently one of our recruiters stuck with him, then we just made an offer out of the blue and he accepted. Again, i dont know much about him, but that is the mystery guy.

If Bustle signed him then that's fine with me. We'll just have to wait until practice starts to see what kind of player we got.

[J-Town Cajun]

Rivals did not have him rated by stars but was on their site. He seemed to have a super junior season. He rushed for 1200yds. 12.0 avg., 28 catches and 6 TD's, and 13 int's on D. He was also the 2A MVP of Texas. He seems to be an all round athlete playing many positions QB, TB, WR, and DB.

A friend that went told me the Smith kid who committed to Wisconsin was the suprise. A little confused...

[Boomer]

Well He's definitely going to a school where they develop some Talented DB's with Tillman, Taylor, Spann, and CC Brown in the last few years. More importantly as a student here, I hope he enjoys his time spent at UL.
