A Big Recruiting Weekend
-UCLA is quietly assembling another great class under Rick Neuhesial. Its almost a foregone conclusion since Rick is such a great recruiter and the LA area is one of the most fertile recruiting areas in the country. Last year they took a few players from USC and this year they will take a few more. I think can eventually get to 50/50. They have such a beautiful campus, great academics, close to the beach, now all they have to do is win.
-Big Recruiting Weekend at Notre Dame for Charlie Weis. The biggest in 10 years. Seantrell Henderson will in attendance. Electricity will be in the air, the problem again is winning, The really need to keep the game close. If they win I think the players will start to crawl in the boat. will start crawling into the boat
Jr Ferguson has narrowed his list to five school, it is expected to be LSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Miami. I just talked to a course very close to the family and he will make his decision based on academics and the ability to play early. Whoever does the best job convincing him of those two factors will be the winner.

Florida Recruiting Update
With all of the news coming out of the state of Florida recently I thought I would weigh in on several of the topics that are circling the rumor mill.
-The Bobby Bowden situation at Florida State shouldn't affect recruiting too much, because Jimbo fisher, the coach in waiting, is already the front man in recruiting. He is getting in who he wants. He is totally in control of the recruiting situation. However, if they keep losing some of the kids wont want to play Bobby or Jimbo. The school is bringing on a lot of the negative press themselves. They miss out on a couple of superstars if they keep up this infighting.
-Despite South Florida's big win over FSU, I still don't see it changing the recruiting situation much. They aren't going to beat Florida, FSU, or Miami head on.
-Miami had 2011 standout LB Denzel Perryman for the Oklahoma game. So far I have been really impressed with his athletic ability. Can really fly to the ball.

Northwestern Recruiting, 2010 QB's, and Penn State
Today's News:
-Northwestern class is looking extremely solid this year. Tghe key would be is that Florida and the missiisppi is the place everyone is going to. Because of Florida's talent they have become just as important as Chicago. Its important because of their academics that they recruit nationally. But, the entire Big Ten is paying more attention to Florida as well.
-So far the 2010 class has yet to have a clear cut number one quarterback, however a few have stood out in my mind. Phillip Simms from Virginia. Jake Heaps. Tommy Rees is tearing things up in Chicago right now.
-Penn State has a top 5 class right now. I expect them to hold on tho their commitments even if they lose a few games, because their top recruits are all from their primary recruiting area.

Examining the First Player's Named to the All-American Bowl
Ronald Powell - One of the most heavily recruited players in the country. Has tremendous confidence bordering on cockiness. But, its that confidence that will allow him to play early in his career. I suspect USC will end up with him.
Lache Seastrunk - Tremendous speed, Tremendous Vision. Small, but very explosive. The top back in the country. I have a feeling he will end up at LSU due to his ties to the area.
Shakim Phillips - Just committed to BC. A coup for the coaching staff. They haven't had such a big-time receiver in quite some time. I expect him to play early.
Random Notes:
Kyle Prater, previously committed to USC, will visit Illinois and Oklahoma. I think Ron Zook ends up beating out Pete Carroll.
C.J. Federwicz is my top tight end in the nation. He is now planning on visiting Iowa and Wisconsin.

All-American Bowl Selections
The first three players have been selected for this year All-American Bowl. Ronald Powell, a tight end and defensive lineman from Moreno Valley High School in California; Shakim Phillips, a wide receiver from DePaul Catholic High School in Wayne, N.J., who has verbally committed to Boston College; and Lache Seastrunk from temple, Tex.
All three look like fantastic talents and have bright futures.
