Damn.
Sam Montgomery was all but a lock for UNC according to the scout premium board.
I wake up this morning see that his coaches haven't seen or heard from him in a few days, turn on ESPNU, and he commits to LSU.

California:
The Golden Bears will sign one of the smaller classes, in numbers, in the Pac-10, but from an average star rating, it's one of the best. Cal has one of the best QB-RB combos in the Pac-10, if not the West Coast in quarterback Allan Bridgford (Mission Viejo, Calif.) and running back Dasarte Yarnway (San Francisco, Calif.). The Golden Bears have also signed one of the premier offensive line classes in the nation, headlined by center Mark Brazinski, ranked #2 nationally and guard Stan Hasiak (Kapolei, Hawaii). Brazinski, from New Jersey, was a commit to Rutgers before changing to the Golden Bears. Cal also went into the Lone Star State and plucked Steve Williams, who was initially a commit to Oklahoma and Williams shined in UnderArmour All-America practices. Jarred Price was one of the top JC linebackers nationally and he too comes to Cal from Texas, where Cal continues to do a good job under Jeff Tedford.
Oregon:
The Ducks boast one of the best linebacker classes in the West, led by Michael Clay (San Jose, Calif.), Boseko Lokombo (Vancouver, B.C.), and Bryson Littlejohn, a JC transfer (Sacramento, Calif.). Oregon also inked the premier cover corner in the West, and one of the elite corners nationally, Cliff Harris, from perennial powerhouse Edison HS in Fresno. In fact, defense is the strength of the Ducks class, with more talent up front like Anthony Anderson (La Mesa, Calif.) and Taylor Hart (Tualatin, Ore.), the top defensive prospect in Oregon.
Oregon State:
Oregon State scored a huge coup when they, seemingly out of nowhere, picked up Michael Philipp, the #3 ranked offensive linemen in the West, and thought to be a lock for Stanford. But his official visit to Oregon State netted the Beavers a big commitment from him. The Beavers receiving corps also received a huge boost in landing Reggie Dunn, again. Dunn signed with Oregon State in 2007 but he didn't qualify so he went the JC route. When several schools made another attempt to land him, Dunn spurned the new suitors and stuck with the Beavers. Oregon State followed it up with commitments from Arizona receiver Markus Wheaton, whose cousin, Kenny, is a legend at Oregon, and versatile two-way threat Kevin Cummings (Encino, Calif.). But make no mistake, Philipp is the crown jewel of this class.
Stanford:
No team was more a surprise to find amongst the best of the best like Stanford was. Almost from the get go, the Cardinal have been recruiting the 2009 class with purpose and authority. It started on September 1, 2007, when New York prospect Shayne Skov, a Bay Area native, committed to the Cardinal the day Jim Harbaugh coached his first game for Stanford. Skov, barely starting his junior year, committed to the Cardinal, and Stanford withheld everyone's pursuit of him and will sign the five-star linebacker. And the best tight end class in the country goes to Stanford, who inked the 4th-ranked, Zach Ertz (Danville, Calif.) and 6th-ranked, Levine Toilolo (La Mesa, Calif.), and two other top targets, Jordan Najvar from Texas and Ryan Mullen from Colorado. Stanford also picked up the NorCal and SoCal Players of the year in Usua Amanam (San Jose, Calif.) and Tyler Gaffney (San Diego, Calif.) respectively.
UCLA:
The Bruins class was steady all year until Morrell Presley, who committed to USC in May of 2007, switched to UCLA in December, then enrolled the next day. Presley, the MVP of the L.A. Scout.com Combine and the #1-ranked tight end nationally by Scout.com, gave Rick Neuheisel his first real recruiting victory over USC. But Presley wasn't the only significant recruit for the Bruins, who also landed UnderArmour All-American quarterback Richard Brehaut (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.), linebacker Todd Golper (Arcadia, Calif.), defensive end Keenan Graham (Las Vegas, Nev.), the west's top defensive end, and Marlon Pollard, a cornerback from San Bernardino, Calif., who committed to UCLA in the summer of 2007, switched it to Notre Dame in the summer of 2008, then ended up back with UCLA.
USC:
As usual, the Trojans signed the best recruiting class in the Pac-10, despite losing a couple of players to deflections in the 11th hour. Most notable is the top-ranked quarterback in the country, Matt Barkley (Santa Ana, Calif.), from the same high school, Mater Dei, that produced legendary Trojan quarterback Matt Leinart. USC also landed the top player in Arizona in Devon Kennard, from Phoenix. Kennard, despite missing much of his senior year with a knee injury, is still one of the most feared pass-rushers nationally. T.J. McDonald, a safety from Fresno, and the son of former USC All-American and NFL All-Pro Tim McDonald, followed in his father's footsteps, and he's the top defensive back in the West. John Martinez, ranked #1-nationally at center, picked USC from a host of offers and Kevin Graf, the son of former Trojan lineman Allen Graf, also signed with the Trojans.
Washington:
Steve Sarkisian had a lot of making up to do in the short time from when he was hired to when Signing Day hit. Sarkisian had to do his best to maintain what commits were left from the Tyrone Willingham regime while also getting a few more players on board. Keith Price, a quarterback from Bellflower, Calif., is the highest ranked player in the West 150 for the Huskies and he's joined by Marlion Barnett, a tight end from Corona, Calif., on the offensive side of the ball. Defensively, Washington is bringing in some strong prospects, led by Desmond Trufant (Tacoma, Wash.), the younger brother of Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant, safety Nate Fellner (Fresno, Calif.), linebacker Tim Tucker (Harbor City, Calif.), and Andru Pulu (Federal Way, Wash.).
Washington State:
After Stanford, the Cougs have one of the more surprising classes in the Pac-10, with many of their recruits committing before the season. The headliner for the Cougs is Gino Simone, who was a part of back-to-back state titles at Skyline HS (Sammamish, Wash.), and pound-for-pound, may be the toughest player in the West. Simone, a four-star receiver, is the highest ranked player in the class, and the lone four-star prospect in the Evergreen State. Paul Wulff was also able to land Jamal Atofau, a safety from Bellevue, Wash., another one of the premier programs in the state, athlete Nolan Washington (Burien, Wash.) and Travis Long, a TE/DE from Spokane, from in-state. Out of state, WSU landed Darren Markle (Boise, Idaho), defensive tackle Quayshawn Buckley (Ontario, Calif.), running back Arthur Burns (Corona, Calif.) and quarterback Jeff Tuel (Fresno, Calif.).
Boise State:
The Broncos signed one of their best classes ever and it featured several Golden State natives who were pursued by a host of Pac-10 schools. Leading the charge is John Michael Davis (Los Flores, Calif.), a four-star linebacker who committed to the Broncos early on and is one of their highest rated defensive signings ever. Offensively, Joe Southwick, a first team all-state pick by Scout.com, from Danville, Calif., spurned several suitors to sign with the Broncos, and he's one of the top passers from the Bay Area in years. Another Silicon Valley native, San Leandro (Calif.) tackle Charles Leno picked the Broncos. Trevor Peterson (El Dorado Hills, Calif.), will play tight end for Boise State, but he literally could play numerous positions. Another intriguing player is Nicholas Alexander from Los Angeles powerhouse Crenshaw HS. Alexander is the grandson of NFL Hall of Famer Carl Eller, who was a star for the Minnesota Vikings.
Fresno State:
The Bulldogs signed a pair of four-stars, both with Pac-10 offers, and both with family ties to Fresno State. Quarterback Derek Carr has a lastname that many Fresno State fans are familiar with, his older brother, David, led the Bulldogs in the early part of the decade and was the #1-pick of the 2002 NFL Draft. Linebacker Travis Brown, from nearby Clovis West HS, is the son of longtime Bulldogs defensive coordinator Dan Brown. Other notable signees include Lars Bramer, an offensive tackle from Buchanan HS (Clovis, Calif.) and J.B. Dock from state powerhouse St. Bonaventure in Ventura.
BYU:
The Cougars have one of their best classes in memory, and certainly under Bronco Mendenhall, landing elite players at safety, Craig Bills (Provo, Utah), running back, Adam Timo (St. George, Utah), tight end, Richard Wilson (Spanish Fork, Utah) and at numerous positions, athlete Kyle Van Noy (Reno, Nev.), who could play receiver, running back, safety or linebacker if he wanted to. BYU also landed Hawaii safety J'Ray Galelei, El Dorado Hills (Calif.) receiver Brett Thompson, Tui Crichton (Provo, Utah), an offensive lineman from prep power Timpview, and a teamate of Bills, and Remington Peck, a versatile tight end from Bingham HS in South Jordan, Utah.
Utah:
Kyle Wittingham's 2008 success paid dividends in 2009's recruiting class, with the Utes doing well regionally and nationally. The key signee is five-star defensive end James Aiono from Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, the top defensive lineman in the JC ranks. They also added four-star defensive tackle Latu Heimuli, who chose to stay in his hometown, where he starred at Highland HS, and safety Chris Washington from Layton (Utah) Northridge. L.T. Filiaga, a linebacker from Bingham HS in South Jordan, spurned some Pac-10 offers and BYU in choosing the Utes as did Vyncent Jones, a lineman from Sandy. From California, where the Utes have traditionally recruited well, the Utes landed Jordan Wynn, a quarterback from Oceanside, who won two section titles and a state title in two years as a starter, and big, rangy receiver, Jamal Smith from Oxnard, Calif.
The Golden Bears will sign one of the smaller classes, in numbers, in the Pac-10, but from an average star rating, it's one of the best. Cal has one of the best QB-RB combos in the Pac-10, if not the West Coast in quarterback Allan Bridgford (Mission Viejo, Calif.) and running back Dasarte Yarnway (San Francisco, Calif.). The Golden Bears have also signed one of the premier offensive line classes in the nation, headlined by center Mark Brazinski, ranked #2 nationally and guard Stan Hasiak (Kapolei, Hawaii).
