Heisman will be between LaMichael, and Ryan Williams.




I don't see any truly great teams right now. Hard to pick a NC. Right now I'd have to pick UF to win it all. :smh

Why?

Arkansas has Mallet, but other then that I see nothing special...Of course I can be wrong but I just feel UGA & Auburn will have better seasons...

We shall see week 3 when Arky comes to Athens..

UNC has always been a joke to me when it comes to football, and I think LSU will remind us week 1...

Your boys have a nice ranking though.  You don't think they should be ahead of UNC too?
 
And Dequan Menzie is practicing w/ the Tide. Running and cutting. Looks to be ahead of schedule from that Achilles injury.

Mallet has a very good WR core and DJ Williams @ TE. That offense is and will be potent.
 
yeah the other day Chris Low was saying how quickly Menzie has been back. If he's 100% there's no way he doesnt win a starting spot

sick.gif
Blake need to have the ball in his hands.
I bet he wins the Return specialist job.
He's Filthy!

Alabama's last 2 DB classes have been unheard of. Thank God Keenan went to Cal instead.
 
And it's only gonna get worse.

2011 class, they're gonna land HCD.

2012 class, they're most likely gonna land Eddie Williams.

NCAA investigators interviewed Tennessee assistant football coaches Lance Thompson and Jim Chaney and other school officials in Knoxville last spring in the process of examining possible recruiting violations beyond the appearance of Vols recruiting hostesses at high school games, a source told ESPN on Friday.

Thompson and Chaney are the holdover coaches from the one-year Tennessee regime of Lane Kiffin, now coach at USC. A separate source said Florida State assistant Eddie Gran, a former Tennessee assistant under Kiffin, also was questioned by the NCAA.

The first source said Tennessee expects to receive a letter of inquiry from the NCAA in the near future. As part of a broadened inquiry, the NCAA is expected to interview other former Vols coaches, including Kiffin, about recruiting methods at Tennessee, including the timing of coaching staff contacts with high school players, a source said.

Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton declined to comment on the nature of any ongoing investigation but said Friday: "It's been publicly acknowledged that the NCAA has followed up on allegations related to our football program last fall. We have not received a letter of inquiry and can't comment any further at this time."

Tennessee acknowledged it committed at least six secondary violations during Kiffin's tenure. The NCAA said the large number of secondary recruiting violations could warrant classification as a major violation.

One source said "a ton of people" have been interviewed regarding Tennessee's recruiting methods, including recruits who signed with Tennessee to play for Kiffin.

In December, Tennessee acknowledged the NCAA was investigating its use of female students as hostesses who attended recruits' high school games as way to encourage players to attend Tennessee.
 
Clad in a kelly green golf shirt, new Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly came out for the first press conference of the 2010 preseason clearly ready to tee it up.

“At this time I generally am asked, ‘Are you ready to go?’, and I’ll respond by saying, ‘You know, I could use a couple of more days,’

Anyways...

Gunna you really think SC and Miami are gonna win their conferences this year? I see at list two slip ups for each.  But let's say, hypothetically, SC runs the table and destroys a few of their big opponents, what're their chances of an AP Nat'l Championship? Or is that pretty much written off when you're on probation?

And Noel Devine for Heisman?  Is that solely gonna be based on his individual output, or you expect The Mountaineers to make some noise this year?

[h1]UM investigated by NCAA for `impermissible text messages'
[/h1]

[h3]BY SUSAN MILLER DEGNAN AND MICHELLE KAUFMAN[/h3]
The University of Miami is being investigated by the NCAA for recruiting-related text messages by coaches in various sports -- including football, women's track and possibly baseball, three sources told The Miami Herald.

UM initiated the process by self-reporting the infractions to the NCAA, according to two UM athletic department sources, both of whom believe the infractions are not considered severe.

Another source with knowledge of the investigation said it was launched in January.

Though individual text-messaging episodes would normally be categorized by the NCAA as secondary violations, collectively they could be considered a major violation, which is believed to be the case for the UM program. The sanctions in this type of case are usually not harsh.

UM released a statement Friday, saying, ``The University of Miami's Department of Intercollegiate Athletics discovered possible NCAA violations involving impermissible text messages and telephone calls to prospective student-athletes. After conducting an audit, the University has self-reported its findings to the NCAA, and a joint investigation has been launched. The University will take appropriate steps to ensure full compliance with NCAA rules and regulations. As this is an on-going process, the University will have no further comment at this time.''

It is unknown how many text-related violations were discovered.

The NCAA banned college coaches from text-messaging recruits in 2007 ``because of the potential cost to prospective student-athletes,'' according to the NCAA website.

The NCAA defines recruiting as ``any solicitation of prospective student-athletes or their parents by an institutional staff member or by a representative of the institution's athletics interests for the purpose of securing a prospective student-athlete's enrollment and ultimate participation in the institution's intercollegiate athletics program.''

The NCAA website notes that ``evolving technology presents unique challenges in recruiting. . . . Schools cannot text prospective student-athletes at any time, but they can e-mail during permissible contact periods. Schools can do so even from social media platforms such as Facebook.''

Because of the situation, a source said UM athletic director Kirby Hocutt has instituted stricter rules regarding text messages. The rules weren't divulged, but there will be tougher internal penalties for coaches who violate them.

An athletic department source confirmed that all UM athletic teams' phone and text-messaging records were reviewed by the NCAA. Some teams had violations and some did not. It was not revealed whether teams other than football, women's track and possibly baseball violated rules.

Once a school self reports a violation, the NCAA comes in and works with the school -- and independently -- until there is a resolution. The outcome can be the result of an NCAA hearing, or through the two parties working together in what is called a summary disposition. In a summary disposition, the school and NCAA enforcement staff attempt to agree on an imposed penalty. The agreement must ultimately be approved by the committee on infractions.

The NCAA Division-I Infractions Committee, made up of 10 members, is chaired by former UM athletic director Paul Dee. He has been recused from any dealings with the case.

The other infraction committee members, as reported by the Detroit Free Press: Britton Banowsky, Conference USA commissioner; John Black, attorney, Kansas City; Melissa Conboy, Notre Dame deputy athletic director; Brian Halloran, attorney, Malibu, Calif.; Roscoe Howard, attorney, Washington, D.C.; James O'Fallon, Oregon faculty athletic representative; Eleanor Myers, Temple associate professor; Dennis Thomas, Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference commissioner; Rodney Uphoff, Missouri professor.

IMO someone needed to crack TJs jaw, just too bad he got hurt.
He is a Lazy bastard who will never reach his potential at this pace.
Athletically and talent wise, he should be top 3 Cornerbacks in NCAA
He has just as much skill as Patrick Peterson. what a clown.

He doesnt get it and hasnt gotten it since he left Tallahassee.
what a Waste!

Really?  I guess I don't see the same level of talent but I'm sure you saw a lot more of his pre-college play.
He's going to get passed up by Nickell Robey next year if he doesn't shape up.  Coaches are already loving Nickell.
 
Yea AH, somethings got to wake Dude up.

and Robey is going to be a Killer at this level.
He got so much heart.

Gunna how is AJ Green going to win POY if you say Richt will get fired?  I would say UGA would have to win at least 10 games and get to Atlanta for him to win SEC POY IMO.  Richt is not on the hot seat THIS year.  If he has another subpar season there is zero chance he gets fired unless its like 2-10 or something like that and even then I doubt it.  Going in to next year then I would bet he would be on the hot seat after that.  All the Richt hot seat talk is not coming out of Athens.
