also word is,
If Scroggins were to committ to tennessee, Stone, Ambles and Matt Milton a 6-5 Wr out of Ill. would immediately jump aboard and commit to UTk
Buddy was reasoning with me, that If Scroggins goes to USC, he likely wont ever see the field, if he goes to UTk he plays almost immediately.
but I countered. thanks to matt cassel, not playin at USC, is now no longer an issue at QB.

[h3]Pahokee coach talks about Oregon situation
[/h3]
[h3]> Posted by Stacy Hicklin on July 22, 2009 10:48 PM[/h3]
Five days after the Pahokee football team was sent home early from a Nike 7-on-7 tournament in Oregon, head coach Blaze Thompson spoke about the incident in a phone call earlier this evening.
He didn't want to comment on the exact circumstances of what caused the team's dismissal from the tournament, but did say the coaches and school are still investigating the behavior that prompted that action. Once that investigation is finished, expect the school to hand down its punishments. Thompson has not been made aware of any staff changes that must be made in connection with the incident.
"We are embarrassed and ashamed of our behavior in Oregon," Thompson said. "We're working diligently to repair our image."
"The coaching staff has worked so hard to prepare our players to be successful on and off the field, but this [incident] reminds us that the job isn't over. With each new group of players you have to remain diligent."
Thompson said the coaching staff and players have dealt with an amazing amount of scrutiny not just from their hometown, but from around the area and even across the country. He did say that the negative attention was "rightfully so, we really messed up."
Don't expect to see the Blue Devils traveling out of state anytime soon or even next summer (they didn't have any plans to do so anyway this fall).
Thompson also confirmed that the Blue Devils' kickoff classic game against Miami Northwestern is indeed cancelled. Northwestern said it didn't want to play the game in Pahokee, that it wouldn't make any money off of the game.
That decision leaves Pahokee in a tough spot with most teams already having scheduled their kickoff opponents. It will be a bit of a scramble now to line up another game.

Despite signing justsix Floridians the previous three years, the Bulldogs already have seven Sunshine State commitments (some of them big-timers) for the Class of2010
TAMPA - Aaron Murray kept a quote taped to his lockerduring his time as a football star at Tampa Plant High School. "Be bold. Be daring. Be smart. But most of all, be different." Murray, one ofthe nation's most sought-after quarterbacks of the 2009 recruiting class, signed with the University of Georgia. In fact, he graduated from Plant in December, the same week he won the Class 4A state championship, and beganthe spring semester in Athens as the Florida Gators _ that program a mere two hours to the north that was hot after the record-breaking Plantstar _ were celebrating their second national title in three seasons.
Bold, indeed.
"Every time I left there, I wanted to go back," Murray said of UGA.
Given the rate of marquee homegrown recruits daring to headed north of the border to wear read and black, what Murray did last year suddenly doesn't seemso different.
When Frostproof cornerback Nickell Robey verbally committed to Georgia on Monday, the Sentinel's No. 15 prospect in its Class of 2010 Top 100 became theseventh player from Florida to pledge for the Gators' Southeastern Conference rival.
That's one more Floridian than Georgia landed in its three previous signing classes combined.
When considering that two of three Bulldogs that signed last January were Murray (No. 3 QB in the nation, according to Rivals.com) and teammate Orson Charles(No. 7 wideout), it's clear Coach Mark Richt is making his mark on the Sunshine State.
"I just think they offer the total package up there, from the program to the facilities to the academics," Frostproof Coach Brad Metheny said."And I think it starts with one of the most respected coaches in the country."
They're saying the same things at Kissimmee Osceola, where a pair of rising senior stars, cornerback Marc Deas (No. 47 on The Sentinel's Top 100) anddefensive end B.J. Butler (No. 53), already have pledged for the Dawgs.
"They got on 'em early and the coaches were busy on the phone," Kowboys Coach Jeff Rolson said. "They made our guys a priority."
So what's Georgia's secret of late?
Here are some theories, as the Dawgs head into Year 9 of the Richt Regime:
- Richt and defensive coordinator Willie Martinez are Florida natives and graduated from the University of Miami. They know their way around the state.
- UF's devastating run of success on the recruiting trail likely has prospects (at the behest of, oh, say, every recruiter not from Gainesville) eyeing the Gators' depth chart. Not only is Florida loaded with talent for the next few years, Urban Meyer has taken his show national and is now the East Coast version of USC. That means more Sunshine State players for others, and Georgia is taking advantage.
- Don't dismiss Richt's well known Christian background. It plays wonderfully with parents. In fact, he has struck up a close friendship with former Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Coach Tony Dungy, who recruited Richt into his All-Pro Dads organization. Dungy's son, Eric, is a Division-I defensive back prospect at Plant this year. The Super Bowl-winning coach has had some glowing things to say about the man in Athens. Think that goes a long way with 17-year-old kids?
UM and FSU are getting KILLED in FLORIDA.
UGA has 7 committs in Florida already

Aye Gunna, do you know about how big Freddie T was coming out of HS/ His frosh year of college?
And FSU for 7/9 commits from Fla, the only 2 OOS being 4* Ed Christian from Ga and Corey Miller from SC.
I'd say their doing ok.

He tried to commit to UofM but we kind of slowed him and told him to wait. Might be one we kick ourselves for not taking. The thing that screwedit up was kenny wilkins committed right before him.

I doubt Pahokee gets a pre-season game now. There's a lot of SoFla schools who already scheduled games and most of them would decline to play Pahokeeanyway.
