Landon Collins skips his schools signing day party. Could his mom really have more influence than we think?

Are you folks watching this online? If so, where?

I have to admit for the first time in quite a while (at least on paper) Utah has a much more complete class than BYU. They have filled some major holes and have some very talented players coming in.

I think the top of BYUs class is just as good if not better than Utahs but the depth is not even close.

BYU has a very small class so I think it's hard to compare. The average star rankings from both Rivals and Scout are almost identical for the two schools. Utah will have a higher ranked class overall because the total number of signees is a factor in the rankings, but I think the quality of recruits is about the same.

Bama pulling shit on recruits..

3-star Darius Philon - who committed Sep 1 - was asked to grayshirt. TODAY.

Mike Herndon @ MikeHerndon_PR


Darius Philon has not signed. Teammate said # bama asked him to grey shirt.


Trying to get confirmation on whether Philon actually signed. Coach tells TV crew "he's real distraught."



Odd scene at Vigor. Philon leaves stage early, ducks media. Did not seem all smiles as you would expect. # bama

that is crappy but at this point, I'm not feeling it for these SEC kids. It is NO secret that the SEC oversigns. They do it every year. They seem to take pride in it.

Unless I am top 5 at my position, I'm going as an EE to the SEC. I wouldn't chance it on Signing Day when all the other schools have given out their scholarships already.

Peat announcement coming soon.

Kyle Murphy bumped up his announcement. Also coming soon. I think he is headed to the Farm.

[TripletDaddy]

does Ohio State and USC still use fax machines for LOI, or do they simply look at their bank statments to see which players cashed their signing bonus checks?

[dabrockster]

Can coaches still call recruits who have publicly said they were not signing today??

Wondering how many coaches are calling Devonte Neal today (If they can..)...

On a side note: The fact Zona's signings today is very very weak I think bodes well for Ohio State to pick up Devonte (Fingers crossed).. Why would he want to go there when they do not have a single top recruit sign and are listed as #44...

[dabrockster]

Urban may have made a little blunder today in an interview with ESPNU.

He was going over his recruits who have signed and I guess he mentioned Neal and then stammered over the obvious blunder and moved on..








Although... I hope he knows something we don't know....

I am not sure if they does. However, I am wondering if Utah scours the country to find all the academic fallouts and offer them schollies. What a wonderful institution to allow those who couldn't qualify elsewhere a chance to attend a D1 school.
