Sounds like Venables is gone too, thought everyone I have talked too would prefer Stoops anyways. If will make the rednecks happy I will give you Blake Gideon for the next 5 years. [expletive] you can have Case McCoy too.

Rumors getting crazy around ND. Something about a fallout between Kiel and LSU that could land him back at ND this week (in time to still EE, even though maybe a couple days after classes start). Also Armstead set to announce this morning, then news that Cal's DL coach up and went to UW. Armond spent last night at ND with his dad; rumors that both may be at ND this week.

 

This is really big news. Tosh Luopi is probably the best recruiter in the Pac-12 and has is responsible for Cal's fantastic recruiting class this year and last. I think there's a strong possibility this year's class will fall apart - it will be interesting to see what happens since many of Cal's top recruits and commits are legacies or local kids (including Armstead).

Wait Tosh is the one who left? How the hell did Cal let him go in Conference, I wasn't thinking and assumed it was someone else? He's probably one of the top 5 recruiting assistants in the country.

Tosh is a Cal alum too and grew up in the Bay area. I heard Washington's new DC, Justin Wilcox, was Tosh's mentor and that's why he left. Still, it's stunning. Washington is going to be recruiting with USC and Stanford now, they're going to be killing it going forward.

[Old Style]

Internet rumors are that DGB is down to Arkansas and Texas.

 

Internet's been saying that for weeks. He hasn't cut anybody yet, all five are still "in play." (whatever that means)

It means keep bidding.

[fiver]

I've heard that usc's probationary status may also allow armond to play at an sec school right away..havent had time to research.

You forgot to mention blue-collar OU fans, not 5-star players from Texas or California.

And 100% of the kids with actual BCS talent. But whatever. It sounds like a few of them flunked out and a few of them got caught smoking weed a few too many times. Darrian Miller is the one that sucks the most. Dude was a player.

I TELL YA WHAT JIM, GUYS LIKE ROCKY CALMUS AND TEDDY LEHMAN, THEM BOYS PLAYED FER OU. THEY PLAYED FER THE NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY. WE NEED MORE PLAYERS LIKE THAT, THAT RESPECT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A SOONER. NOT BLACK GUYS THAT JUST WANT TO GO TO THE NFL! I CONVENIENTLY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT ADRIAN PETERSON WAS A TEXAS FAN GROWING UP.

Gunnar Kiel apparently backed out on lsu now and is going to notre dame? At least for the next few days....

[shnsajax]

This is interesting, Vance might be able to chime in.

The following comes from an unnamed source……..

 

About 3 hours before the game T-Bob Hebert, Russell Shepard, 2 other receivers and a hand full of linemen got into a heated argument with Les Miles and the Offensive Coordinator about Lee getting more playing time and possibly starting the BCS Championship game. It got so heated that Miles benched T-Bob, RS, and 3 other players. He called Lee into his office and told Lee that he would not be playing in the game. The Offensive CO told Miles that he thought that Lee gave the team the best chance to win the game. Miles told the OC to start looking for a new job after the game and Miles will be calling the plays for the championship game. Apparently the O Line sided with T-Bob and Lee. They did not give their all in the game to prove to Miles that the players are more important than the coach. Now I know that this is hard to believe but when you look at some things it kind of explains a few things: I will list some:

 

Playcalling: Read option pass on 3rd and 10 – 4 times. Running the same 5 plays over 90% of the game. Overall, Horrible play calling. Running the ball in the 4th quarter with 9 mins and down by 21. T-Bob Hebert not taking a snap in the game. RS only playing 3 snaps and not touching the ball or getting looked at. Lee getting off the bus and walking 10 feet behind the team with his head down and looking dejected while walking into the Dome. Heated argument between receivers and JJ and O Line with O line coach on sidelines. And the kicker, reports that 2/3 rds. of the plays that were practiced up to the game were not run and the players were not told why. Again I do not know if this is entirely true but there seems to be a lot of truth in it just by seeing what happened in the game.

 

The LSU team did not arrive at the dome until shortly after 6:00 PM. It seems that T-Bob Hebert & Russell Shepherd met with Les & told him that they were not happy with Jefferson’s preparation & attitude leading up to the game. He was purportedly at Harrah’s a couple of nights & drinking heavily. Most of the receiving corp has been on Miles to play Lee & throw more. Well Les evidently took the criticism the wrong way & all [expletive] broke loose at a team meeting. Hebert & Shepherd never got in the game. The offense was pissed. Jefferson lost the heart & soul of many of his teammates. Les was stubborn. Something evidently happened earlier between Miles & Lee & possibly Lee’s father after he was benched and Miles essentially dismissed him from the team for all practical purposes. Now not only is Claiborne leaving for the draft but so is Randle, Brockers & Shepherd (who may have no other choice but to leave LSU). Kadrone Boone ( a promising young receiver) has indicated that he will transfer from LSU. This is one of the worst internal problems that I have ever seen at LSU. This is not a black & white issue. It is an issue of team leadership (or lack of) & a coach that won’t listen to tenured upperclassmen.

 

Where there is smoke there is fire. We will all see what happens. Hopefully this is all just garbage but we’ll see.

USA Today is reporting that. He's an early enrollee, so he can't really change his mind once in classes, which start tomorrow at ND.

 

Pretty slick by Kelly if true.

I have trouble believing the bolded section. I don't care how mad you are at the coach, you wouldn't give up everything you've worked for to prove a point.

and there's no way to prove that anyway.

 

rumors were this played into kiel's decision, but now it sounds like it was all his parents. He never got on the plane to BR this weekend and instead drove to ND with his folks today.
