Wooooooow.
He got some nerve.
Pahokee doesn't even have a Jr. High I don't think.
I'm pretty sure Pahokee is a Jr High and a HS combined.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm hoping BB signs with The U. But if he doesn't, i personally believe that Lamar Miller will be thebetter player over his career. When youre one of the top 2 backs in Florida thats saying something. I've seen Miller play live and he ain't no joke.

To recap the Villes off-season
- Our best returning defensive player left (who really sucked, but that's the type of talent we have)
- Our new defensive coach left 3 days after replacing Ron English (who left to coach eastern Mich)
- We have no clue who's going to be our starting QB
- 0-12 would not be out of the question next year
- Kragthorpe is still living under our AD's desk apparently
- But....... We did sign one 4 star player, an offensive lineman........................

I agree, the main question about BB is if he played against worthy competition over there in Kansas. Lamar Miller played here in Miami andeveryone knows the competition here is legit.

Maryland will name offensive coordinator James Franklin as coach Ralph Friedgen's successor at a 3 p.m. ET news conference today.

ESPN.com's Heather Dinich writes about all things ACC in her conference blog.

Friedgen, who turns 62 in April, still has three years remaining in his contract -- it expires Jan. 2, 2012 -- and he isn't expected to retire before then. But Franklin was hired with the understanding that he would have a chance to be head coach.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=120
Former Illinois offensive coordinator Mike Locksley also had been considered, but that option faded once Franklin was hired.
Franklin, 37, is entering his seventh season with the Terps. He worked at Maryland from 2000 to 2004, then was hired last season as assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Franklin, who has earned a reputation as a top recruiter, has had several other coaching opportunities in recent years, and Maryland wanted to make sure he stuck around. They have been negotiating for the past two weeks.
Franklin and Maryland athletic director Debbie Yow weren't immediately available for comment.

Decommitments by coaches a bigger problem
Hard to feel sympathy for jilted job-jumpers
Rick Morrissey
In the wake of the news
February 6, 2009
The decommitment phenomenon in college football is a scandal. It's awful, terrible and immoral.
Wait a second. We're talking about coaches decommitting from their contracts, right?
National signing day came and went Wednesday with the usual amount of boo-hooing from coaches who believed they had been wronged by 18-year-old kids. And manyof them had been wronged, of course. High school players who had committed previously to schools had news conferences Wednesday and donned caps with logos thatindicated they weren't nearly as committed as they had been earlier.
Story after story ran down the gory details of highly recruited athletes turning their backs on the institutions they had committed to orally months before.From the time those kids had given their word that they would sign with certain schools, other schools were trying to talk them out of their commitments.
It's not right, and it needs to stop.
And I'll go along with that just as soon as coaches honor the contracts they sign. I'll go along with that just as soon as coaches agree not to boltfor other jobs after declaring to recruits their undying loyalty.
How many times have we read stories about college coaches skipping town for better opportunities? And the mushroom cloud they leave behind engulfs their formerplayers, who don't know what system the new coach will bring in or, for that matter, how long he will stay.
At this point, let's introduce Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez because the script says, "Enter, villain." This is a guy who, given the opportunity,would interview for the vacant Bernard Madoff job if he thought it would get him more money and a stud linebacker named "Ponzi."
In 2007, Rodriguez left West Virginia for Michigan four months after signing a renegotiated contract to continue to lead the Mountaineers. Then he tried to getout of the $4 million buyout clause he owed West Virginia.
"The attacks on my reputation … you're like, 'Where did this come from?' " he said at last year's Big Ten media day. "I mean,what did I do? I changed jobs. That's all I did."
There was a little bit more to it than that. West Virginia President Mike Garrison was deposed in the school's lawsuit against Rodriguez as it tried torecoup that $4 million buyout. He talked about meeting with Rodriguez's agent, Mike Brown, in July 2007, about seven months after Rodriguez had turned downthe Alabama job.
"[Brown] wanted me to be aware that he would continue to shop, as he put it, 'Product Rodriguez' on the open market," Garrison said.
How about all the kids Rodriguez recruited to come to Morgantown? You know, the kids who believed he was going to be their head coach for four years? Itdidn't take long for "Product Rodriguez" to make them feel like a piece of meat.
It shouldn't come as any surprise that Rodriguez is portrayed as the king of getting players to renege on oral commitments to other schools and attendMichigan. A slug can't outrun its ooze, after all.
"I believe there are people probably calling our commitments now - probably some Big Ten schools doing that," he said in October. "That'spart of the deal."
I don't mean to single out Rodriguez. He's the latest version of former Northwestern coach Gary Barnett, who never saw a job opening he didn'tlove. And although Barnett might have been more exuberant in his pursuit of a better life for himself, he wasn't a whole lot different than many othercoaches.
As a group, there might not be a more squirrelly collection of people than college football coaches. It's why the stomach rolls whenever one of them talksabout his team being "family." But in a strange, modern sense, the coach is right. Fathers walk out on their children all the time.
Boston College fired Jeff Jagodzinski last month after he interviewed for the New York Jets head coaching job. He had three years left on his contract, andBoston College officials apparently had unreasonable expectations he would fulfill that contract.
Silly them.
If coaches can be free agents, why can't high school players? If coaches can break their contracts, why can't players break their word?
It might be naïve for any player to think a coach will be around until graduation do them part, but I would prefer to see naiveté over jadedness in a highschool senior. Then again, I would prefer either to the mercenary attitude of your standard college coach.

SMH @ Nukeese & Lame Kiffen
I knew Nukesse was going to bounce off his commitment from us when he didn't get admitted into UF in January. With 'Dre committing and Lame runninggame with a starting slot position, Pete jumped ship. Oh well.
I can't wait until September 19

Stop making excuses.
Y'all got out recruited. Simple as that.
Nukeese knew y'all were recruiting Debose the whole time. If he was scared of Dre, then he woulda backed off his commitment a while ago.
Doesn't have anything to do w/ the fact that he may not have been admitted in Jan.
If that was the case, UF wouldn't have been calling/communicating w/ him during his UT visit and afterwards. Even on signing day. Coaches don't putthat kind of time/effort in on a recruit they know isn't coming there.
Y'all got beat. Suck it up.
Perhaps Nukeese wants to go to the NFL and play in a Pro-Style offense to better prepare him for that?

Since John Gruden was fired from the Bucs, he has spent every waking hour breaking down film of the spread offense.
