Under Armor football game

[TripletDaddy]

Is anyone else planning on watching this tonight? Also, the Army game on Saturday?

Lots of announcements scheduled and it will be fun to see how recent events shake out...coaching turnover at Texas, Florida, and Michigan.

Game starts at 7PM EST.

I always find the HS FB games rather boring. It is hard to get a feel for how good the players are or aren't since the play is generally so disjointed. Though I do remember being very impressed, and saddened, by Manti. Unlike the All-star BBall games where individuals can stand out, it is tough to tell much other than most of the receivers like running verticals and most of the time the QB looks downfield for 2 seconds and takes off running.

I think you are correct. I mostly watch for the announcements. The football is secondary, if that, imo.

That being said, hat ceremonies are played out.

I may watch part of it, I'm not sure if anyone is going to put on or throw away an Oregon hat though.

I watched the ESPN/SEC All-American game last year. It was pretty lousy. Even the announcements were dumb. I am tired of the 3 card monte routine with the hats. Just say where your overrated, entitled ass is going and be done with it.

I also watched the Army game to see Heaps play last year. I won't be watching this year.

How overrated and entitled is Heaps?

Heaps upped the game by bringing 2 recruits to his announcement and not two hats. And at this point, very.

What about Marquis Lee, Cyrus Hobbi, Devon Blackmon

to name a few. I thought the Zeros have a really good shot at Blackmon and Lee, particularly.

I have heard recent rumblings about Cyrus Kouandjio now giving Oregon a nod, but being from Maryland, I would put that as a stretch since most of the East coast kids wind up going B10, BEast or SEC. That kid is amazing, though. For some odd reason, he claims New Mexico as a school of high interest.

Around these games is when I usually start reading about recruiting, with Oregon having yet to play though I haven't really cared yet. I did know about Lee because you were taunting me about him in your Fight On thread, so I looked him up on Scout.

All 4 of those I listed are 4-5 stars and look like potential difference makers. More importantly, they are all non-headcases...no reports of trouble in HS.

SC is going to head to head with Oregon on these (along with other schools) but there are probably some that are not looking at all at SC but are looking at Oregon. I obviously havent followed those.

I'm liking the chances of Oregon getting Blackmon. http://twitter.com/D_BLACK12

His tweet from 4 hours ago is contradicts his photo.

Usc usc is on my mind!

Or is he already thinking about playing against them next year?

[TripletDaddy]

Blackmon rocked Oregon gear on Day 1 or 2 of the UA game practices. It was all over the SC boards...until he wore an SC sweatshirt later that day.

I think these kids understand that they can milk this a little bit, esp with twitter.

I thought this tweet was kinda funny, esp since he seems to want to the attention:

I apprecaited if ya would wouldquit leaving comments on my face book page! And twitter saying my choice is bad, and tht I changed!

If I had to rank my guesses for Blackmon, I would say Zeros, fucla, then SC.

Of the 4 I listed, my guesses:

Blackmon: Zeros
Lee: SC
Hobbi: SC
Kouandjio: elsewhere
