they would have had 4 of the 5 fastest players at the combine and Shazier would have been faster than any corner... Seems legit... Peppers athleticism is up there with the best... He has it all... But who the hell knows whats gunna happen when he steps on campus... Cravens is a stud too... Both large DBs that can move

I have no idea what to expect from Logan or anyone else this year really. I wouldn't be surprised if we won 5 games and I wouldn't be shocked if we won 9. Really not very many proven players to extrapolate from.
I doubt we'll score very many pts, not that much talent on that side of the ball again this year and the line is questionable.

Unless ND lets him out of his LOI (Which doesn't benefit them in any way so idk if that happens) I don't see how he is in LA in June or how the NCAA lets him out

there saying its a family issue and he wants to play close to home
only thing about ND is, that if he is hell bent on not playing there why not let him out? what does making him transfer and sit out a year do for ND?

Nothing but it never seems to be a factor because Universities do it all the time for some stupid reason

Because ND wants to punish him. It's his fault, there was no reason to sign that LOI if you meant to be a Bruin the whole time. It's especially ridiculous considering that he apparently has been regretting it from the moment he signed. Does ND revealing your choice some hours before you do really matter that much? I'm not convinced.

What?!
Most kids commit and dont change.
Verbally committing helps ensure them a spot come signing day.
A lot of kids shut down recruiting when they verbally commit. it also helps bring in other talent to the class.

Those are good points.
It's just in so many cases there are problems regarding LOIs,fans harassing kids, and kids being forced into situations they don't want to be in, I just feel like all of this would be lessened a lot if college sports recruiting was more like the college admission process.
Schools offer you a scholarship and you can take it or leave it (same way a school can withdraw its scholly offer at any time.)
If a kid accepts the offer he isn't locked in until he's on campus for activities (schools can withdraw their offers from kids at any point up until the first day of the semester, so why do kids have to be locked in?)
By not honoring/letting kids commit when they're in 10th grade it does away with a lot of the ********, i.e. a kid committing to southwest tech and feeling the pressure to honor his commitment then getting blasted by fans when he changes his mind right before signing day.
I realize parental influence like in the Matt Thomas situation is an aspect of every day life, not just in sports, but if the NCAA is really out for the best interests of a student athlete there has to be a way to police it better, rather than the kid ends up at a school he hates, is miserable, flunks out, and loses his scholly anyway.
I say all this, having no solution myself.

[h1]Top QB battles Okla. over eligibility[/h1]
Top-rated quarterback prospect David Cornwell of Norman (Okla.) North and his family ended their silence on Thursday over the eligibility dispute that has jeopardized the remainder of his high school football career.
Cornwell, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound Alabama and Notre Dame target, is set to appear Tuesday before the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association board of directors. Cornwell seeks a resolution to the case that revolves around the fall of 2011, when his family lived in Florida and he did not attend school or play football as his mother, Debbie, battled a debilitating health condition.
Oklahoma eligibility regulations prohibit such an extra period of participation "unless sufficient proof exists that circumstances arose beyond the control of the student and the student's parents" that prevented the student from completing academic work.
"We understand the OSSAA's rules," said Ron Cornwell, David's father. "We've followed those. This situation clearly qualifies. He should be eligible. We're a little confused and hurt."
The Cornwells, with an attorney present during the interview, declined Thursday to answer specifics about Debbie's health condition, other than to say it surfaced in July 2011 and lasted several months. The family told The Oklahoman last October that she suffered from a serious thyroid condition. She is healthy today.
"It was really tough to see the woman who had cared for me my whole life be sick like that," David said. "I had to help her with a lot of stuff. My dad was busy traveling with his job. The emotional toll was tremendous. Me and my dad had a lot of heart-to-heart talks through all that."
Ron Cornwell travels frequently as a corporate health-insurance consultant. His work took the family from Omaha to Jacksonville, Fla., and to Oklahoma in 2012.
David enrolled at Jones (Okla.) High School and blossomed as a QB last fall in his first year at the varsity level. He threw for 2,742 yards and 27 touchdowns while rushing for 755 and six scores in the state's third-largest of six classifications.
A landslide of recruiting interest followed. He ranks No. 24 overall in the ESPN 150 and first among pocket-passer quarterbacks.
His list of scholarship offers include the likes of the Crimson Tide and Irish, who met for the national title last season, as well as Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech and Miami. Cornwell, who turns 19 in October, earned the first invite to the Elite 11 finals this summer in Portland. He also plans to participate in The Opening and at the Under Armour All-America Game in January.
He previously declined to discuss the eligibility matter, which has already impacted his recruiting.
"Coaches want to see me play," he said. "They've only seen one year. Most of the kids recruited like this have played at least two. I want to play. I want to prove I can go play 6A football."
But according to Ed Sheakley, executive director of the OSSAA, Cornwell already had the opportunity to play four seasons in high school.
"He's asking for an exception for an additional year," Sheakley said Thursday. "They made a choice to leave school (in 2011). They also made a choice not to play football that year. That's kind of where we're at from our point of view."
Ron Cornwell said the family has provided all documentation requested to the OSSAA, including Debbie's medical records.
"I'm very confident in our case, that we've done everything right," David said, "and have all the criteria met."

Next fall marks the start of the fifth school year since he began ninth grade in 2009 at Millard South in Omaha, Neb.
