Sousa is Really really good and underrated.

Everything Ive heard from around the state is he has been every bit as impressive as Driskell in spring and summer camp circuit.

RichRod is prolly his biggest offer right now too, so u michigan fans keep an eye on him

Tons of Michigan fans have been praying for this offer to go out. Love his film and his athleticism. Hope he comes to Michigan but I think we see him get some very nice offers and stays south. 

Sounds like they're hoping for a commitment next week.  They're visiting tuesday.

The NCAA by Supreme court law has the right to discipline its members as long as due process is involved.

USC has NO CHANCE

And where was this due process?  

  Your rationalization is the EXACT reason why SC is appealing.  SC was never allowed to even cross-examine in this case and the NCAA is clamming up on their findings because SC is a private school; meaning the NCAA isn't held under the CA Freedom of Information Act.  Anyone with a clue that isn't clearly biased could tell you that there was no due process whatsoever.

Also your belief that SC has little to no chance due to by-law changes in 2008 is completely wrong.  This case occurred before the by-law change so it isn't held under the new rules.  That is called abuse of discretion, go look it up.

It's an uphill battle no doubt (NCAA will probably shoot down the appeal), but you have no basis for dismissing it completely.  Once SC takes it to the courts, it's a completely different game.

Yeah, about that... I spoke to Seantrel today and he won't be going to USC. He's looking at OSU, Florida, or Miami.

Tough luck, cheaters.

Seantrel never was a sure thing to come on campus.

I have to apologize... I was wrong.

I talked to one of his family friends today and he said that Henderson's flying out to LA in a few days for school. His dad convinced him to stick with USC, apparently.

Checked the UNC boards and there is nothing on this development. A couple insiders have said that they are not worried about it and believe he will be a Heel. I think there is strong influence from his Dad for him to go to UNC.

[gunna get it]

He definitely is waiting on a Miami offer. If he gets it, watch out.

 

[5am6oody72]

Him and Marquise Williams apparently. But yea, it's been no secret for awhile that Hughes would jump on a Miami offer with the quickness.

I'm honestly heavily worried about UNC kicking our #$+ in recruiting. Butch needs to leave asap.

 

[juicy j 32]

He's trying to establish us as a legit presence in the Tidewater area. From the articles I've read and just by looking at our recruiting board, I think we will do very well with our Virginia prospects for 2011.

I agree with you in that I think in the end the ncaa sanctions will stand.

but the ncaa has been drawing a lot of federal court attention/heat for things that are amounting to unfair business practices and essentially running a monopoly on college athletics and forcing schools to bend to their will.

due process is one of the chief factors so the question is whether this probe was fair and truly followed due process.  with all the money implicated in college sports in general but also with this situation and future similar ones that will inevitably arise, the chances of a fed court wanting to at least comment on the case is more likely than not.

Someone w/ESPN Insider be so kind as to post up Bruce Feldman's annual freaks article?

Ughhhhhhh, Ja'Juan Story to UF.

@ them possibly landing Benjamin and Story.

[h1]Nature Coast WR Ja'Juan Story orally commits to Florida (UPDATE: 4:05 p.m.)[/h1]
Posted on Monday, June 28, 2010 at 3:35 p.m.

Nature Coast receiver Ja'Juan Story was "amazed" by the University of Florida and what it has to offer.

After his visit last week to the Gainesville campus, he decided toorally commit and did so Monday afternoon with calls to Gator coaches.In a conversation with Florida assistant Dan McCarney, Story said, "Florida is a school that can help me reach my dream."

McCarney then welcomed him with love to the Gator family.

Story, ranked No. 3 on the Times' Fab 50 prospects list for2011, had 28 scholarship offers including schools such as Ohio State,Notre Dame, Miami and Florida State.

"I feel like I've seen everything I've needed to see," Story said."It was amazing. I got along good with all the coaches. When I talkedto the academic man I liked what they had in store for me. I don't evensee why I should go somewhere else."

Story had cut his list of suitors in half June 15 hoping to zero inon his top choice by summer's end. He originally had planned to visitsome schools because to this point he has had little exposure to mostcampuses. Story and his uncle, Rudy Story, visited Florida last week and both left with a feeling the Gainesville campus had everything a national contender could offer.

"I think it was a first-class facility from strength andconditioning to the academic program," Rudy Story said. "The wholeprgram is second to none. They have things in there I've never seen asfar as training. Along with the academic support they have in placeit's basically idiot proof. You could graduate in three-and-a-halfyears if you follow their program. You will walk out with a degree fromone of the finest schools in the country and you'll have a chance to bedrafted in the NFL."

At the time, his uncle said Florida showed a lot of commitment to academics as well as athletics.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that Florida happens to be the closestperennial power to Story's hometown. That should make it an easy drivefor friends and family to see the Sharks' star athlete play Saturdaysin the Swamp.

"I told them I've been thinking about it and Florida is a schoolthat can help me with what I want to do in life," Story said. "I wantto earn my master's degree. That's a good school for me to go to. Theyhave a nice campus. I won't get bored with it. I plan on going therefor four years."

This fall, Story (6-4, 185 pounds) will begin the season at quarterback. Sharks coach Mark Nashrecently moved Story from receiver after Nature Coast's springevaluation period. Nash made the move to get his playmaker moretouches. And without a proven quarterback to get Story the balloutside, this proved to be the best option.

Story primarilyplayed receiver and defensive back in 2009, also sharing time atquarterback. He had 13 receptions for 423 yards (32.5 yards per catch)and three touchdowns. At quarterback, he had 27 carries for 265 yardsand two touchdowns (just two starts as a quarterback). Defensively hehad 22 tackles and one sack.

ESPNU rated Story a four-starrecruit (out of five stars) and No. 41 overall in the nation.Recruiting Web sites Rivals.com and Scout.com both have Story rated athree-star recruit.

Story is the bay area's second 2011 Florida commitment joining Tampa Catholic fullback Hunter Joyer, who played two years for Wesley Chapel.

And Story would like to see at least one more bay area recruit land with the Gators. Story is close friends with Pasco LB/DB Jamie Byrd, and the two speak constantly about the recruiting process.

Florida has visited Pasco's campus and looked at Byrd. Story said McCarney expressed interest in Byrd.

"He asked about that Byrd kid," Story said. "He said, 'Were prettyinterested in him.' That'll be awesome (if Byrd gets an offer toFlorida). We're always talking about going to the same school."

Nah if they're taking Story it means they're probably not getting Benjamin. Benjamin is probably going to prep.

Yeah, after looking at things, it looks like they are trying to go with Story and Watkins.. Still, Story and Mccroy are solid pickups

 

[zs05wc]

Whos gonna get Sammy Watkins?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Florida or Miami I would think.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

I think our O-Line will be much improved this year which will help all other aspects of the Offense. From what I've heard, both TJ and Renner are going to get snaps as well. I'm very interested to see what happens from that.

Our defense is going to keep us in the game for sure. It's just a matter of what our offense can produce that will determine our chances at winning the game. But I do feel confident that we'll get it done. c

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

USC Commit Glen Stanley to FSU is the latest rumor

. Dunno if it has legs though. 

Buie to RU is a huuuuge pickup for them. Schiano putting in work and best of all, he's going OOS
