A bit

I live in the city. I get a good perspective on the myopia from the crosstown rivals.

I do think Kiffin is recruiting a great team for JDR

Taj Williams

Some sites are reporting Williams has committed to IU. Another nice get for Coach Wilson and his staff.

Very excited about the future of Indiana football.

Matthew Thomas still wants to be a Trojan and he is putting public pressure on FSU to release him from his LOI. Multiple mainstream articles out there talking about it now.

Nothing like recruiting a kid despite a signed LOI

Some craziness with Vanderdoes

Unlike other staffs in the conference, ours has yet to show a propensity of shady recruiting

But USC is one of the schools that ND won't likely release to, so I would assume Kif already inquired

Neither staff tampered. A kid is allowed to initiate contact with a school as much as they want.

Nobody said Vanderdoes has contacted UCLA. It's just assumed since he picked Notre Dame over UCLA and Alabama.

Word wars or crap like the Bama-TN from a few years back?

Visa gift card sales have been very very good this week in Gainesville, Athens, Opelika, and Starkville...among other places. so I am told.



I understand 10,000 is a nice starting point for a 5 star.
