Vanderbilt---1 verbal
Tennessee---1 verbal

Wow... Now that you put it like that, we should probably petition to have Hamilton forfeit the season, and disband the football program all together... Did Hamilton think this hire through?? Did he hire some pop warner coaches?! These guys must not know what it takes to recruit.... They should all be fired, and then deported to a country that doesn't have football... They're clueless!!!

:mf_surrender: I had no clue everyone would take it personally. You are right Sab, it is April. But the month in the state of Alabama is April too and they have around 6 recruits I believe. I am done talking about this because this is off topic and this probably ticks off MODs.

To me all these verbal commits these other teams have got mean nothing till the LOI is signed. Guess you didnt see what happend this past year in recruiting Tafka. Nu'keese was commited to Fla for 8 months and Teague for 3 months than they signed with us. So those verbal commits dont mean a darn thing until the dotted line is signed.:)
 
Jeron Stokes was our one and only committed guy last year this time. If history repeats itself for this recruiting season, I'll be very happy.
 
Marlon is now up to a solid 290; he's working out daily with a personal trainer, and at Coach O's request, working with Memphis Melrose lb, King. Marlon, allegedly, will complete his course obligations in May;something about keeping 4 pages daily of his work done, so as to no questions. King, allegedly, is one point from qualifying. Some of the Memphis players visiting Memphis this week end said: Crompton is so much improved over last year; he's their choice of qbs, but all of them "have mental lapses". They, the five, when asked, did not see any other transfers, quitting. I did not ask them directly about Donald. They emphasized the difference between previous coaching staff and this "like night and day", meaning energy, enthusiasm, "going 100 mph all the time,etc."

Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. were discussing Brian Orakpo on the ESPN First Draft podcast today and had this to say.

McShay: "Brian Orakpo is a player some teams are starting to get skittish of to be honest. And part of it, I have heard from two different NFL teams, "The Texas Factor."

Kiper Jr: "What's the word we hear from NFL people when they review Texas players Todd? Soft.

McShay: "Exactly, that's exactly it."

Well, isn't that a slap in the face.
 
Ft. Scott lineman picks up major SEC offer. One of the top offensive line prospects in the nation has seen his recruitment slow down in recent months after a quick start with five offers during the early spring. That all changed this morning when he picked up a major offer from the SEC, LSU.

Jemarcus Hardrick is the player

This is said every year around draft time.
 
"I understand we are very close to getting a commitment from a top OL prospect in the next couple of weeks......stay tuned."

This was posted earlier today on VQ by FlVol53. Does anyone know how reliable he is?
