National Signing Day open thread

[BoylenOver]

considering Utah, BYU, and USC all have their own recruiting threads, this will be used for everyone else.

Four-star DT Calvin Smith (FL) is expected to sign with New Mexico. They were in the top 3 of 4-star OL Arie Kouandjio, but he chose Alabama yesterday.

First commit of the day coming up.

Christian Jones: 4 star OLB out of Florida.

His top 5 are Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and USC

Interesting enough he has 4 hats in front of him and then a Florida shirt instead of a hat. The florida shirt still has the tag on it.

This tells me that he is not going to Florida but ESPN wants Florida there for the ratings. He kept the tag on it so that he can take it back later.

OK I have no idea what him having a shirt instead of a hat means.

Christian Jones going to Florida State!

Maybe footlocker was out of hats?

Schwenkes LOI in to Notre Dame.

Josh Huff to Oregon. LOL

He goes from Utah, to Minnesota, to TCU, and switches to Oregon on NSD. I'm guessing he transfers at some point during his career, too.

Good for the rest of the teams in the MWC.

Manti is a good recruiter. I just saw JR ferguson on CSTV explain that one of the reasons he chose the Irish was because he and Manti hit it off so well and Manti really was in his ear about coming to South Bend.

Bjorn Werner (from Germany) giving an unintentionally funny interview. Just picked the Seminoles....one of the reasons....because "it is closer to Germany."

How about this quote:

Kona quote from ND article. " I thought it was going to be a hard decision between BYU and ND. Then BYU pulled out and made it easy."

Yes he claims he was 100% committed the whole time and he was just visiting friends.

Is that what they call recruitus interruptus?

That was fun to watch. "Thanks for being here."

If you want to run the ball, come to Oregon. Message sent and received.

local reports that Owa will become a full-time loser in Westwood.

Wow! That would be a huge steal. I thought he was SSD to Nebraska.

Zumwalt seems to still be in play, as well....could the ruins steal him from the Trees?
