Are we going to participate in the whole don't go after other committed big ten players unwritten rule? The Big Ten schools all seem to follow by that and it really causes an uproar when one of the member schools break it. A few years ago Eric Gordon committed to Bruce Weber and the Fighting Illini and then Sampson got in there and did some dirty recruiting and got him to Indiana. He not only felt the wrath of Illi but the other member schools were very peeved at Indy's recruiting tactics too. It seems like we would want to start our Big Ten tenure on a positive note, and I suspect we won't try to poach from other member schools unless the kid calls us first.

Yeah. Wasn't he our top LB on the board at the start of the recruiting process? I thought Bo said if he signed we wouldn't take anyone else.

Humble, Texas huh? I never would have imagined a town in Texas being named that. Kind of an oxymoron isn't it?

Nice! Good pick up post-Heard. Sounds like the dude is a stud. Welcome to

Do we know what the rivals teaser says yet? All I've heard on this thread was that girlknowsfootball thought it wasn't looking good from the one sentence teaser we get that says Braylon got his scores and has a plan. Any more entail from insiders?

Well I am just going to hope that the reporters and Heard himself did their homework on this and he will be qualified. Thanks for breaking it down and being a voice of reason but this is celebration time!

Big Time! Think if we could snag Turner away from Texas. That would be a great trade-off.

I don't think you're wrong in thinking that way, but put yourself in the kids shoes and I think it at least is tolerable when considering Bryants actions. This decision is probably the biggest decision of his life so far. He makes a call and then is sitting around and starts second guessing himself. I feel like this sort of thing happens to all of us, well me at least... I personally don't have any ill will towards him no matter what he does. I would say I am actually happy he decided to second guess himself within 24 hrs instead of waiting a few weeks to look around.

Seriously chamrock? How long have u ben off the board? And we're sposed to believe u? F' off!!!! JMHO. Wow, someone's off their meds, aren't we?! Just saying this was a kid who had an NU offer and Ohio State swooped in on him and I would have liked to have seen us go after him as obviously he was looking since the change at Florida. This kid and Santos would have made 2 great LB's for our class. As for being off the board, what board you been on? I have have always been here. Link to story: http://www.cleveland.com/osu/index.ssf/2010/12/urban_meyers_resignation_deliv.html Lets just chalk that up to C N RED was posting at 2:30 in the morning on a Friday night and probably should have stayed off the board while he was playing Edward Forty Hands. I don't even know how he typed with his hands taped. Nice posts Cham, don't fret.

Wow, you called it.

Why would he be worried bout Pirman? He's comin as a TE and as far as I can tell we want Lake as a DE. But I really don't see Lake as a primary DE. We r on better DEs than Lake and I expect to get a couple of them in. Sorry Lake but u should have committed early cuz we have moved beyond him now. We would take him as a greyshirt but that's it unless we don't fill on DE. What DE's do you expect us to have N that you think it would be a smart idea to not take Lake? And I disagree, Lake is not a greyshirt possibility. Not only do I think he would never do that, but he is a bigger priority for the staff than that as well.

He said he has been working out with a trainer so hopefully he won't be that far behind.

Seriously chamrock? How long have u ben off the board? And we're sposed to believe u? F' off!!!! JMHO. Did I miss something? Or was this a joke? With Muschamp I can't imagine us being able to nab any guys. I'm sure Gatorland is pretty hoppin with their hire.

#19 we barely knew thee...

Alex Henery, spell the man's name correctly. And while Alex will technically be the most accurate, it will likely only be for one year. Grant Ressel is sitting at 93.3% for his career compared to Alex's 89.5%. Negative vibes coming from that post. Alex is the king of scrawny white kids everywhere. I'd watch that vibage. I haven't heard anything about walk on's yet. Rivals usually does a story on some possibilities, but I haven't seen one pop up that our insiders can give us the low down on yet.

It was while he was on his OV to Mizzou. He got on Danario's (?) Ustream account and bashed Nebraska. What is funny is that he realized the Gabbert's screwed with him, pretty much just to make him not go to Nebraska. Whether he went to Mizzou or not was irregardless. Later, he tried calling Bo and company back to see if we were still interested. Yeah CC was played hardcore last year. He had too many tigers chirping in his ear and made a big mistake. I'm happy with Enunwa and Bell. This whole Tevin business doesn't sound too hot, but I think it is helping the situation that he is going to have an in-home with Bo still. That would be a very interesting conversation, and I think it's cool that he's man'ing up and having it.

I remember when Neb was believed to be his fave with like one other school. What happened to that?

I live around and know the Weghers (actually he's a cousin through marriage, I've never talked to him though) and I don't know if we even want him. Be happy with Burkhead. Waaay less character issues. I don't think Wegher's head is on football anymore. A lot of people still think he might go to the University of South Dakota. Even more think that he doesn't even like playing football but is pressured into doing it by his parents who are big wigs in town. I just can't imagine him being a positive influence on any football team he goes to now.

Josh Big Time Turner also mentioned in that article. That would be huge to get back in that mix, but he loved OU too.

Here's my question. Things look good with this dude, PO, and Bryant. Who do we take and who do we not? All are high on us. Interesting!

A fired up EZ-E! I like it! Tevin does sound like he already made up his mind in that article. I will not rain pessimism down on the masses though. We will retain him because of one word. Prince...

I don't remember Martinez fumbling very much running the ball. His fumbles come when the pocket collapses and he has to be decisive...which he isn't. We've seen it when he's scambling and makes one of those rediculous underhanded throws. How many times did you see him throw a ball away this year? 0? 1? That's almost ENTIRELY on the QB coach. To see it in his first few starts is one thing, but the 10th? Not acceptable. But I personally wouldn't label him a fumbler when he's rushing the ball. No more so than I'd call Rex or Roy fumblers. I'd call Roy a fumbler. He's fumbled at some ridiculous times this season. Rex, no way. Dude's a stud and that last game is on Caputo in the wildcat. Have we heard reports that Carnes is Turner, Starling, and Taylor fast? If so, I didn't know that, but that's exciting!

Joey Ganz placed a pretty nice ball. Wats worked wonders with that lowly 3*

Starting to get annoying having these punks trying to nab our boys.

All without leg definition! Think about when he tones those calf muscles how good he's going to be.
