I remember reading more than once in articles that Shawn W. and the BC era coaches said that P. Witt was the most talented/impressive of the group

I like Mack and that's exactly what they needed down there. I wouldn't want 5 star criminal athletes on my team either if I was the coach. Character first, academics second, athletic ability third! I hope you weren't one of the many calling for Frank Solich's head then 5 years ago. No, I wasn't. Doesn't mean that I still want him here right now though. I would tend to agree with you there

I assume you are talking about Barry Sanders, with an "s" on the end. Yeah, that would have been a nice steal! I heard even the Jayhawks passed on him. About the article posted: Why would Callahan quit recruiting an entire high school after one kid changes his mind? It said that this year alone they have five, yes five, DI recruits. That doesn't make any sense to label all the kids from that high school because of one athlete. Simple....BC is a complete moron!!!!!! One thing I won't say bad about BC was his recruiting ability! Anyone who denies the talent that he brought to Nebraska is truly the "moron"! Anybody that beleives what Rivals or Scouts say's is the "moron" While I am not a fan of BC, I agree that his ability to recruit was incredible. He did it at Wisconsin, teams that won a few Rose Bowls, and he did it here. The only proof you will need is to see what they do the next 2 years under a really good coach who knows how to teach and develop.

Anyone have a timeline on when he will sign today?

answered as I was typing, love this guy. going to be great

On the Scout site, he was supposed to sign around 10:30am. Has anyone heard anything on this one? Is he waivering?

Supposedly played in Offense-Defense All-American Bowl as a member of Team East Anyone know if this happened? Perhaps he didn't do any of the camps over the summer and didn't do much his Junior year so most teams missed him. Also Desales offense was mostly based around the run. I think they put up 400 yards rushing against Cinci Lasalle. So probably not too many chances to catch the ball in that offense. All the website for the Bowl has is that Kenny's East Squad won 12-8 in a rainy defensive battle in the Orangel Bowl in Miami. No specific player stats are listed as of yet. Here is the Bowl Game link: http://www.all-americanbowl.com/blog/end-and-looking-ahead/

Actually MadcatNU and Pimpzilla were dead on. 85 allowed in total, no more than 25 per year. See the quoted text below from the NCAA official site. http://www2.ncaa.org/portal/academics_and_..._penalties.html "Football Bowl Subdivision Football In Football Bowl Subdivision football, teams may provide scholarships to not more than 85 student-athletes, with up to 25 scholarships awarded to incoming student-athletes (e.g., freshmen, transfers, first-time aid recipients). For Football Bowl Subdivision teams subject to immediate scholarship penalties, the first three penalized scholarships will be charged against both the initial-counter and overall team-counter limits, with remaining penalties (if applicable) countable against the overall team maximum."

Yeah, the competition out in Harlan isn't going to be on the same level that the Texas HS are, but then again where is?! I grew up in the HS conference that Harlan plays in and lived in Killeen, TX for 3 years as well. Harlan has been an IA football powerhouse contending for a State Title literaly every year. Killeen however is bigger at about 80,000+ residents and is a military base town, meaning a lot of imported talent. It is just north of Austin so I am sure that the schools they play are much bigger that Harlan.
