College Football Offseason: FEAR THE TREE (and other non-threatening PC mascots)

Yeah no joke. Who would have thought that Ole Miss could hand recruits more money than Bama and UGA?
I've heard it. Rumor is it's because of playing time, though we threw at him 3 times during the MNC game.
Yeah, I've heard it too.
Early "Processed" list I've heard is
Marvin Shinn to transfer (be a shame, he was starting to come along, but he was buried on the depth chart and only got playing time because of numerous WR injuries)
Phillip Ely (QB) to transfer. Pretty average QB with little future with another 2 QB's coming in and Morris done with his redshirt.
William Ming, Chris Bonds, Tana Patrick, and Jonathan Atchinson are all rumored to be thinking about quiting football (graduating, no chance for playing time), or transferring.

Cameron Hunt switches from Cal to Nike University
Maybe already mentioned
Long story on the unknown results that occur with recruiting
Looking at the 2009 class of players. Alabama and LSU did well with the players from that year, but horror stories from Texas, Tennessee, Florida, and North Carolina are sad.

Missed a semi final update, but the final is pretty much over (though still taking votes)
Waffle House vs. Popeyes, with Waffle House having a commanding lead.
Our National Chicken Nightmare is over!

Never hearing of Cook-Out hurt its chances from me.
SEC still kicking ass and taking names.
I've got your back. Cook-Out rocks. Damn good shakes, too.
The latter qualification is probably the most important in the minds of voters.
Why would anyone choose Oregon right now when Mariotta's entrenched for two years?
Now, Florida. Go Gata. :jnc

Michigan class still looking strong?

Its fallen recently, but they still have a top 10 class due to the sheer numbers they have got so far. Second best class in the big 10, but thats give considering the big 10 is really just two recruiting powerhouses anymore.
Why overexert yourself? Gotta save it up so you can hate-fuck Nebraska.

Kind of like the first few games of the season too.
You mean the Big 10 is really just two recruiting powerhouses, and has always been that way (talking long term here, not talking about Nebraska or Penn State).
Are you talking about McEvoy? I'm not nearly as high as him, (word around here is he gets into dumb trouble from high school and his time at USC(e)), and I think he's a good conversion candidate to WR. I really thought he was WVU bound.
PSU prior to end times could recruit. Paterno's staff at the end times was old and lazy (see Old Miss), and O'Brien's staff is incredibly hamstrung at this moment (and he still got a decent class).

If we want to talk really long term, Minnesota used to be a powerhouse the middle half of the decade.
Bama fans speculating about how many 5-star guys they'll get, and which awesome RB they'll get to be their 5th-string guy...
Meanwhile, OSU lost Treadwell to Ole Miss and may lose Fred Ross (another 4* WR) to Mississippi State.
Only a few schools (Texas/Ohio State/USC/OU) don't have to worry about the SEC.
Football changed so much from the 70's on that I wouldn't go back much further than that. tOSU and Michigan are the biggest recruiting powerhouses in the conference, and have been that way for a really long time. Penn State definitely had some great players back before Paterno got too old to care, or know what he was doing.
LosDaddie said:Only a few schools (Texas/Ohio State/USC/OU) don't have to worry about the SEC.
Meyer still spends a lot of time down south so he's still going up against UGA, Bama and UF. Texas surely has to deal with A&M now, right? OU and USC are mostly safe.
Stave is not equipped to run the type of offense I assume Anderson wants to run so having a guy who is mobile is going to be huge. Was there anything besides the one operating arrest in his past?
Pretty even between Oregon, tOSU, and Texas.
Oregon: chance to start immediately and play for the team with the best record in CFB the past 4 years. His 'heart' is in Oregon, according to him. System fits.
tOSU: Coming off a undefeated season. System fits. Late push. Classic flip scenario.
Texas: Texas recruit in Texas. Nuff said.
Should be interesting. He and 5* Thomas Tyner were supposed to be Oregon's two-headed RB attack along with DAT.
Well, Rutgers didn't bother to offer him at all even though his mom supposedly wanted him to go here (they basically told him to go somewhere else), and this is with Rutgers probaby having the worst FBS quarterback performance in a bowl game.
He went to a good school Bergen Catholic (same as Brian Cushing) and still got into trouble. Mind you most people think he's a good kid that does stupid shit, but they're worried about his throwing mechanics (and the thought was Florida was definitely going to make him a wr). He's a good get as he does get you into Bergen Catholic which is one of the factories in tri state (Garret Dickerson is going to be a stud next year).
Rutgers is in a fight with GT(former commit) and Arkansas(fat face) over Duwop(Dennis) Mitchell, good pro/spread qb from NJ. I'm betting he goes Arkansas.
Henry Poggi, for some reason, might decide to greyshirt or even walk on at Alabama, rather than take a Michigan Scholarship. Possibly.
How sad will you be seeing the twins playing in purple and gold?
Jack Del Rio's son, QB Luke Del Rio, also decommitted from Oklahoma State to walk on at Alabama.
I'd be bummed but I have this weird feeling they'll go to different schools..?
If they do end up at UW you guys will have an incredible secondary in 2014.

What's a good place to keep an eye on/refresh for recruiting info leading up to Wednesday? I don't pay THAT close attention, but I'll pretty much watch Eleven Warriors, and here to see what's going on. Any other sources? Is Alabama going to do another Fax Cam Girl thing after BracesGate last year?
They had a Scout guy on the radio this morning and they're saying UW really sold one of them, but the other one is kinda hesitant. They might end up indeed splitting up. We'll see!
Twitter definitely. Follow the Scout and Rivals guys that cover your area/school. Shit gets crazy though. Kids will be flipping their commitment almost daily at this point.

Twitter is great for recruiting news. while at the same time being the worst thing in the world for recruiting news.
OG fax cam girl was an official university production. Last year's fax cam girl was from some random site and should never have opened her mouth.
bama online was going to do a fax cam girl this year but the wife of the owner put a stop to that.
Actually, Texas' top DT commit switched to Bama recently, and OU is having a lot of trouble getting D-line talent too. A&M has been the one destroying them recently.Only a few schools (Texas/Ohio State/USC/OU) don't have to worry about the SEC.
Ohio State, USC and Oregon are lucky to be far, far away from SEC recruiting territory.
Oregon has never been a recruiting powerhouse in a sense. They went for specific players that fit their system, and while they weren't in the 70s or anything as far as recruiting rankings, they never drown in 5* guys like Bama, USC, etc. They're usually in the top 20 though.

Yeah, Oregon's MNC team had a single player drafted.
I'd argue 2012 Oregon was best Oregon and had the most talent.

Fun fact. The black background of the pic in your avatar hides Coltrane's hair (as well as how tiny avatars are) and it looks like Michael Jordan with a sax instead. I like to think it secretly is.
