Signing Day Liveblog

By Brian — February 4th, 2009 at 10:10 AM — 7 comments

Notes: I won't be around until 11:30 or 12, and this CIL is a heavily moderated Q&A session and not so much a free-for-all. Oh, and if you're interested in the WTKA interview they've posted podcasts: Part One here, Part Two here.

Update: you are looking LIVE at your computer. (IE: we're going.)

Update II: major events:

  • DeQuinta Jones to Arkansas.
  • Pearlie Graves to Texas Tech
  • Adrian Witty and Denard Robinson to Michigan
  • Jeron Stokes to Michigan, w00t.

This concludes all useful events today; Paul from VB is at the presser and will be tweeting.

What are the chances that Fitzgerald T gets some freshman PT? Is is style conducive to the spread? As far as I'm concerned, if he can prove that he can hold on to the ball, he warrants a look? Any shot of him seeing the field?

is going to have to see the field. with McGuffie's transfer and Minor/Brown/Grady graduating Shaw would be the only RB with game experience in 2010 if everyone redshirts.

Hi Brian,

I really enjoy your blog, but you interview like a computer engineer. You and that WTKA hack didn't "fool us again" a la Ivan Maisel and Beano Cook.

I wanted the recruiting updates to be front and center today.

Again, you do great work and you're obviously uber intelligent - so I figured a little constructive criticism wouldn't be taken the wrong way.

I disagree, it was John Bacon that made me cringe with his rambling nervousness and lack of focus. I thought Brian ran circles around the host and Bacon, to paraphrase what he said in the interview, should be one of those bookish writers that stays away from the microphone.
