I don't know about the drug issues, but I know he got in trouble for filing a police report stating his textbooks were stolen, when he had actually sold them himself. He was about to be kicked out, but I think Richt let him leave on his own because it was less embarrassing. He was buried on the depth chart and I think he saw the writing on the wall.

- From the SI CFB news column:
Cal's class is actually shaping up better than I thought it would provided a bunch of guys don't flip tomorrow.
Yikes.

Also from that article -
Rivals.com dual threat QB rankings that year -
#12 Marcus Mariota
#14 Johnny Manziel
And right in between them - #13 Michael Brewer

Smith and Williams are both gone.

Some of the Texas fanbase will need time to get used to Strong bringing in "system" guys instead of guys that already have national recognition.
Yesterday we landed an OL recruit...
even worse, he's rated 1481th best now!

Everything about college football recruiting is creepy as hell.
This has nothing to do with managing your roster of current players. I'm talking about signing new players. You're Texas. You can sign "system" players who are also "top" recruits. It's not one or the other.
It's legalized pedophilia.
This is more of Wickline thing though. He didn't recruit a lot of blue chippers at Okie lite and did fine. The more worrying thing is the shit load of decommits Texas has been getting after Mack told them to look around. They just two more guys today.
Let's go follow 18 year old kids on Twitter and RT everything they say.
And shit on them because they decided to go to college somewhere else.

And not take into consideration that they might actually be doing what is best for them academically!
Although sadly most D1 football players don't finish their degrees and don't end up going pro in Football.

Looks like UCF/Bama are in a battle for this Williams person. Kind of hilarious.
The kid's dad had a stroke, so he's torn between wanting to go to Bama and wanting to stay closer to home to be near his dad. Can't fault him for either choice.
Andrew Williams? Nah, not him. Just looked at his offer list. He was a late offer by UGA so probably a long shot but he took a last minute official and may end up being a surprise there. Clemson, Auburn, and UGA are his top 3.
Lorenzo Carter is reported to have told UF coaches that he won't be going there, so UGA should be a sure thing. That had been the consensus before but you never know until they sign.
Chris Williams.

Signing day in full effect right now. Only surprise pickup for UGA so far are Isaiah McKenzie, 4 star CB that UGA only offered 2 days ago. Looks like it was between UGA, VT, ND, and Ole Miss. Runs a 4.5 40 so I wouldn't be shocked to see them put him at kick returner. That's a huge pickup though. He's one of those guys that recruiters describe as dangerous with the ball in his hands, so maybe a Percy Harvin type of player where they just want to get him the ball and see what he can do.
He's a teammate of UGA signee Sony Michel (5 star RB) who is very similar to Keith Marshall, while the other UGA RB signee, Nick Chubb, is more similar to Todd Gurley. Though I do think that from watching Michel's videos, he may have a little more power than Marshall out of highschool.
Update: another signing day surprise. Looks like they got 3* TE Hunter Atkinson, who was previously a Cinci commit. It was a last minute offer from last night. Good size though, 6'6" 250 lbs. Only played two seasons at West Hall HS, looks like his recruiting picked up late. Sounds like he has a ton of talent but will need a year or two of development. He's the second tight end in this class, Jeb Blazevich is the clear #1 guy there as he's the #1 TE prospect in the country (according to rivals).

Yeah, I got 5 inches of heavy, wet snow on Monday followed by ice last night, so now half of Maryland seems to be without power. One plus is my insistence on gas appliances, so I was able to make some nice pancakes.
How does A&M's recruiting class look like? Last I heard it was top 10, but that can always change and I think we over- signed a bit last year.
Our biggest remaining target, LB Kenny Young, is down to OSU, LSU, Aggy, and UCLA.
Not sure what time he's announcing, but I think we have a good shot considering he's from Louisiana. He visited twice and seems to have a really strong relationship with our DC Glenn Spencer.
Even without him, it's arguably our best recruiting class ever.

About the same here. I think 5-6 inches of snow with maybe 1/4 inch of ice on top. So I'm working from home today.
Looks like Rivals is putting the Aggies at #5, 247 has them at #5 as well. So really good class for them.
Did you wind up moving to Dallas, Andy?
Nah, still in Columbus. Job in Dallas didn't pan out. Man, if they got 5-6 inches of snow plus ice in Dallas I think it really would cause an apocalypse. Most people stayed home in Columbus today, but the roads are still pretty rough due to the ice. I think they have their hands full with the interstates and the surface streets were still a mess when I had the news on a while ago.
Woo! UF gets Harris from FSU 
Grier and Harris, what a QB combo! This kind of helps offset the disappointment of what looks like UF will be losing Prince to Maryland. At least UF did get Andrew Mike to seemingly soften the blow of missing on Prince, though UF could always end up getting Prince to really overload at the OT position ;-)

You drive on snow, not ice)

Yeah, exactly, I was about to say.
We just got dumped with about 6 inches in Ann Arbor. Looks like the plows haven't gotten out there yet judging from my short drive.
Swerving in snow is fun...only when you're driving around people that know how to drive in snow.
I know you're being sarcastic, but people here don't really know how to drive in snow either. They're a little more familiar with it, but it takes one or two people driving too fast to cause their car to flip and stop traffic for everyone. I don't worry about myself on the road, honestly, it's the idiots around me.
Does Ann Arbor get lake effect snow? I assume it does, but I can't remember. Yeah I don't mind driving in the snow if there's hardly anybody out and I'm not in any hurry. Ice causes me to stay home.
It's not quite as bad as Chicago, where we get surprised by a foot of snow just 3 days out, but we get a ton dumped on us occasionally out of the blue.
Yeah, snow driving doesn't really bother me - it's fine for the first 36 hours or so before it's compacted into ice. Luckily, these people in the Midwest know what they're doing with plowing and salting, although Ann Arbor is markedly worse than Chicago at actually plowing the side streets. We usually just have slush on the neighborhood streets around here for weeks on end.
The highways are a bit of a mystery, though. They're always completely pristine, but I've never seen signs of pre-treating on the roads. It's like they have some wizard come by and suck up all the snow.
Oh well, what was suspected is now confirmed. Have fun being a Terp, Prince
There's alot of Gator bait, but Gator dead, yo.
True dat! ;-)
Honestly, good luck to the young man and have fun helping Maryland move into the Big 10
No big surprises for Tech yet. Got a commitment today from Michael Coley, whose spot was opened up when we lost that DT to U-La-La a couple of days ago. We knew the coaches liked him but the need for a DT was greater than the need for another DB. Guess when we lost the DT we didn't have anybody else at that position in the chamber so we went BPA. Really big DB class for us this year; everybody knew we had a serious depth issue on the DL, specifically at DT, but there is clearly something the staff doesn't like about our DB depth cart. The 4 starters for next year are basically known already and performed pretty well this past season (except for Dee Paul, who had an early season ending injury) so their must be some real issues from the 2nd string and on. Signing 9 guys to play DB, I believe; Some that I know will be DBs aren't listed as DBs on the recruiting sites and at least one guy that will play LB is listed as a DB so it's a tiny bit ambiguous but they're still signing an entire two deep.
We stole JUCO OL Dominique Robertson from Kansas State a week or so ago, but there are some rumblings this morning that he may be signing with KSU after all. Would be a pretty big hit, in a year that we were going after a LOT of JUCO OL he was supposedly the staff's top target all along.

They're probably clearing the highways before anyone gets up. Columbus could learn from them. They say they clear those first here, though I do give them credit, we have as many road area to clear in Columbus as Cleveland and Cinci combined.
Lamont Galliard's signing is official. He's the kid with Georgia Bulldogs tattooed on his forearms who had flirted with UF some. So it's big that UGA held onto him.

Its literally me and my boss, and thats it on my entire floor. Man up peeps!
Nope. Malachi confirmed to be LSU bound. SEC dominance, rinse and repeat. ;-)
Besides it's hard to get some players to commit to somewhere other than the state they grew up in. Oh well, despite that, UCLA is having a good recruiting class this year as far as I can tell.
