Ohio Pete

"Stump" was the Class 3A MVP which is a lower level of competition, but if he can throw and run, you'd think he'd have some kind of rating. (No stars means he hasn't even been evaluated.) Scout had him in camp and says he is 6', but they don't have any articles since then. Maybe it's his grades?

though in some defense of their USC ranking, I assume it was formulated before the Pete Caroll news came down. BTW where is Notre Dame?

These questions will come up with more urgency when the AD changes. With TO here now, I don't think he goes anywhere.

Isn't TT a defensive guy? They wanted someone who would come in and keep the offensive staff and continue to do something about defense. I imagine Ruffin is gone since they didn't promote him.

Yeah, those drive me nuts.

Yep. See Kansas this past year.

<yawn>

The theoretical limit is something like 6 but only one contact per week of any sort. At least that's what I get out of reading the rules.

Yep: What we don't know is his actual GPA in the core courses and if he will have taken them all, but as mentioned, they are typically doing the things to get qualified all along in order to remain in the private school. (Specifically, I recall a kid at Prep more than a few years ago who was a beast, but dumb as a box of rocks and still managed to get in.) I guess we'll see what happens.

Here are the relevant sections of the NCAA rules for figuring out "counters" (basically who counts against the 25 and 85 limits)

I'll just put these here

As noted above, however, you have to consider NCAA regulations on this matter as well, not just the university's policy. As pointed out, NU only gives you 15 credit hours per year which does not include any fees, books, board, etc. which can be given to a spouse or dependent. However, under NCAA rules if the coach has not been with the school for 5 years, that counts as institutional financial aid and "counts" toward the 85 limit. He would also apparently not get all of the extensive benefits (including training table meals) you are allowed as a full scholarship student athlete. But on the plus side: "An institution may provide fruit, nuts and bagels to a student-athlete at any time." (FYI I plan to move all of this OT discussion to another thread.)

Same as how I felt going into the Rose Bowl. My buddy was sure Oregon was going to kill Ohio State. I told him "you may be right that Ohio State is overrated, but have you seen how bad the Pac 10 has been this year? I wouldn't make any bets that depend on their performance." Should have seen the same thing coming in this game.

Does Burkes leaving open up another slot, or do you think that was laready factored in?

Hunh? Miami had 3 different head coaches in that time span.

If distance is THE factor, why are UCLA and USC on the list? I could see Cal or Wash, but LA is pretty far from Portland. No, not as far as Lincoln, but far enough (15 hours?) that taking a plane makes more sense.

No. Not at NU, and it would violate NCAA rules to boot. See here: http://www.huskerboard.com/forums/index.ph...st&p=519127 and here: http://www.huskerboard.com/forums/index.ph...st&p=548866 Anyway Cotton looks like he'll grow into an OT anyway.

ATH Kenny Bell is N!

Sounds like you already had one.

Well, you can't. At least, it's pretty hard to do. Pretty much no one is going to give up the picks and take the salary hit that #1 pick requires. I'm sure every team would like to pull a Ricky Williams or Herschel Walker type trade (tons of picks for one guy/pick), but the guys dumb enough to do that don't stay in the league very long. So you may as well pick the once-in-a-generation D tackle when he's available.
