2013 College Football off-season

[dew1679666265]

Jabo Lee committed to Tennessee today. There's speculation that means Ford is a lock for Auburn. Without a couple major breaks (Bell and Levenberry) this is shaping up to be a really lackluster class.

 

 

I'm also hearing that ford will sign with au. I hope you get bell and keep him away from bama.

 

Most recent report has Vonn as a slight Ohio St lean, but he's been changing his mind each day. I'm still hoping we can pull Bell and flip Levenberry and Josh Dobbs. That'd make for an ok class, but nothing that convinces me Butch was the right hire.

the 8 finalists for the cover of NCAA '14 are just awful:

 

Kenjon Barner (ORE)

Eddie Lacey (BAMA)

Denard Robinson (UM)

Tyler Eifert (ND)

Ryan Swope (aTm)

Jarvis Jones (UGA)

EJ Manuel (FSU)

John Simon (tO$U)

 

Why wouldn't Manziel be a finalist? Is anyone besides Denard really a household name?

Because you can't be on the cover of a video game and still be in college...

 

:banghead: I knew that :banghead:

 

Since this is open to public vote, will Denard win in a landslide? Unless it just splits up regionally, I don't see a lot of names on that list that are well known. If you asked me what team EJ Manuel was on, I wouldn't have been able to tell you.

 

Of course, this was probably Te'o's cover to lose this year.....

 

Te'o is a better candidate than Eifert. But this always has been and should be a Denard cover. He's a perfect video game QB.

Should have put Saban on it, all things considered, with that [expletive] list of candidates, restrictions on not allowing current NCAA players and the Te'o fiasco.

Interesting tweet from Chad Bumphis (Miss State WR):

 

@ImSo_BalisMade1: With NSD near, recruits listen. DON'T go with the money! After its gone ur stuck at a place you probably don't even like for 3-5 years!

Twitter really does bring the best out of some of these athletes.

I wouldn't want to spend more than a week in Starkville either.

Yeah but he's not actually going to be in the game

Right but no one in the game is an option. So the guy that's been an exciting player on a well-known team for 4 years is an easy choice over that group.

i still don't think WSR gets it

Bama may have double digit player cuts this spring to get down to 85.

And a number of the players they cut will probably be able to start on major conference 1-A teams.

That's almost the entire SEC man. Herp derp

Haha, Bama's on a completely different level than even SEC teams. The SEC is no longer a dominant conference, but Bama is a dominant program (under Saban).

 

And I really, really hate to say that.

[Ryne Ween]

And I really, really hate to say that.

 

Then dont say say it. Bama doesnt dominate its own conference (which you dont consider a dominant conference). They have 5 conference loses in the last 3 years. What USC used to do to the pac ten in the mid 00s was dominating a conference.

 

Bama is in the middle of a great run but it's getting overblown.

3 National Championships in 4 years is 'getting overblown'? Odds on favorites for 4 out of 5?

On the flip side, Southern Cal is down to 6 EEs and 4 verbal commits with 1-2 of those commits wavering. They could go from 17 commits and #1 ranking in July to 8 signed players. Egads.

I like how you left off 2008 and 2009. Yes, they have five conference losses in the last three years. They also have only five conference losses in the last five years, three of which came in one season (by 14, 3 and 1 points). USC's best stretch was four losses in five years (02-06).

Genghis Khan's expansion of the Mongol Empire is pretty overblown.

As others have said - 3 BCS titles in 4 years, 5 conference losses in 5 years and a host of first round NFL talent every year. That's dominant.

That does make me happy. I was very happy to see Jalen Ramsey flip to FSU.

[dew1679666265]

EJ Levenberry just reaffirmed his commitment to Florida State. Tennessee's running out of good players to bring in at this point. Really unimpressed with Butch right now.

Kylie Fitts to UCLA. Thanks, Lane!

 

@LATimesklein: Kylie Fitts visited with Kiffin and Orgeron on Sunday. "I kind of knew right after that #USC is a great place but #UCLA is better."
