Little more on Collins story:

Bert would fax over another LOI, but apparently the school doesn't have a fax machine.

His coach is his legal guardian, his mother's signature doesn't matter, this was the only way she could keep him from signing.

So his school doesn't have a Fax Machine (The LOI was printed somewhere else and delivered), and his Mom at some point, sent him to live with his Coach, who becomes his Legal Guardian....oy...

I just got an update on my phone saying he signed with the Gators.

Phone was wrong, Clark signed his LOI earlier this morning. Around 10.


Our team is going to have some serious speed next few years. Already have the piece to replace Braxton as well.

Penn State still in the top 25 amazingly. More kids from my area are going to be on the team since they're taking the opportunity to walk-on. Anyway, this class would always be the toughest because if you don't redshirt, you won't have a chance to play in a bowl game.


Man, tOSU and Mich just beasted.

I'm at work so I have to rely on updates and GAF for my info.

UCF is done for the day. 19 commits and 19 signed. There were a couple scares and we lost a Wilson Bell to FSU I think. But other than that, the class stayed intact.

They'll be able to play their Senior year and if someone redshirts they'll have 2 years of bowl possibility. But yes not being able to bowl for 75% of your career if you dont get redshirted is a tough sell for sure.

Jonathan Allen
Elijah Daniel
Tim Williams
Joey Bosa
Justin Manning
A'Shawn Robinson

You guys are so top heavy it isn't funny, once the injury piles up that's when you know how good a coach O'Brien is.

And remember it isn't "walk" on ITS "RUN" ON.

Apparently Edward Williams was down to Texas Tech and Oregon State but then Miami faxed him an LOI last night that threw a wrench into things. Apparently he's thinking of visiting Miami this weekend so he's likely not signing today.

Yeah our depth is fucked, but not much we can do at this point. Just hope the injury bug stays away otherwise funny tryouts will be aired on espn. I cant remember if it was washington or washington st that was down so far on qbs they aired a qb competition on espn highlights a few years back when they were super bad, was so lulz.

I think Andy Staples said something along the lines of: If you were playing PS3 and your friend signed a class like that, you'd just hit the reset button.

ESPN needs to update their shit. I doubt anything happens, but some kid claiming that UGA sent him a LOI last minute and he called them to confirm or something.. That's weird.
Click to expand...

A'Shawn is the only one of those who hasn't faxed in a LOI.

Bosa signed with OSU and Manning signed with Aggie.

Yeah, I guess I was thinking of last year's duct taped class.

Is Michigan on the schedule this year?

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Colorado landed as surprise in Tedric Thompson. I think Wazzu was looking forward to getting him.
