I've been watching TV for the last hour and they have hyped Julio Jones and AJ Green having played in this game at the very least 4 times. I get it...
January 5th, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
January 5th, 2012 at 7:38 PM ^
Joe Bolden getting lots of praise early.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:38 PM ^
Love hearing great things about him. Great TFL on 2nd play from scrimmage.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:40 PM ^
Basically he is Clay Matthews just faster and better at tackling.
January 5th, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
AND with better hair :D
January 5th, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
Silky, flowing, golden locks, especially when making TFLs.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:39 PM ^
And just like that Joe Bolden blows up the second play from scrimmage with a TFL
And then hits a kid two plays later in the backfield on a dump off pass. Missed the tackle, but read the play really well.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:39 PM ^
Joe Bolden with a tackle for loss already.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:40 PM ^
bolden with a tfl on the first drive. I like his Ryan van Bergen hairdo
January 5th, 2012 at 7:42 PM ^
The next play he was second to the ball and the next he had a TFL but Marshall slipped the tackle. His nose for the ball looks impressive.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:44 PM ^
did anyone happen to catch what just went across the ticker about someone committing to Stanford?
January 5th, 2012 at 7:46 PM ^
January 5th, 2012 at 7:48 PM ^
ok, thanks, was too impatient to wait for it to crawl across again...lol
January 5th, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
I think Richardson was back there for the first punt return.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:46 PM ^
He was.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:46 PM ^
I'm surprised schools let players participate in these games. Last thing a coach wants is for his five star QB to tear his knee up one month before signing day.
It's not like these kids need exposure.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:56 PM ^
Better than they get most of the year, they get to practice against similar talent that they will play against soon, and it is pretty much free pub for the schools. It's much less likely a player gets hurt then the benefits.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:47 PM ^
Don't see him out there for white.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:47 PM ^
Hey atleast Duke is getting the punter. Nice job, Dookies!
January 5th, 2012 at 7:49 PM ^
Ross Martin had interest in Michigan before, but we didn't need a kicker in this class.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:53 PM ^
Probably chose Duke for academic reasons. A kid from Ohio who considered UM, as a kicker/punter he will have the chance to shine even if his team is terrible and have a chance to make it in the NFL.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:55 PM ^
He'll get a lot game time action too! ha
January 5th, 2012 at 7:48 PM ^
Sorry I am not able to follow each recruit closely enough to know but, is there any news on Peat? I see he is playing tonight in the Under Armor game. His ESPN page still says Undeclared.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
decent chance it's Nebraska.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:57 PM ^
UM zero chance
January 5th, 2012 at 7:52 PM ^
Id love to have Malcolm Brown at UM. Holy shit.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:54 PM ^
Why was Barry Sanders Jr. in at CB?
Edit: It was Deion Sanders Jr. Makes more sense.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:55 PM ^
That was Deion Jr and he got burned because he's only at this game because of his dad..
January 5th, 2012 at 7:59 PM ^
Didnt get burned at all. had pretty good coverage but his ball skills are awful.. couldnt find the ball.
January 5th, 2012 at 10:14 PM ^
Its a shame he got in over someone else.
January 5th, 2012 at 8:09 PM ^
January 5th, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
How the hell can they rank 134 receivers across the country? What a meaningless ranking. Makes me wonder why we pay attention to these at all.
January 5th, 2012 at 9:25 PM ^
Trey Griffey has an offer from Sparty...
The recruit the #134 receiver, nationally.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:55 PM ^
Deion Sanders Jr actually I believe
January 5th, 2012 at 7:56 PM ^
That was actually Deion Sanders Jr.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:56 PM ^
That was actually Deion Sanders Jr.
January 5th, 2012 at 8:03 PM ^
I think it was Deion Sanders Jr
January 6th, 2012 at 8:50 AM ^
I'm pretty sure it was Deion Sanders Jr.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:54 PM ^
Does anyone know how these teams are divided?
January 5th, 2012 at 7:54 PM ^
Its sickening that all these guys are basically deciding between SEC schools, save for a few outlying schools and few Midwest and West Coast guys...can't blame them though, I guess.
January 5th, 2012 at 8:36 PM ^
Kinda of the way recruiting works in general.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:58 PM ^
Saw this Jameis Winston kid in the skills competition. He was good and really clowning around. Dancing and goofin off before this final throw. Mentioned not warming up while the other QBs were "over there throwin and stuff". Pretty funny
January 5th, 2012 at 8:09 PM ^
Sounds like a great additude that's gonna get him far...
January 5th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
He may just really like having fun playing football. But more likely, he is a hot shot with a ton of talent and questionabl work ethic.
He doesn't look like a big weight room guy, maybe a poor assumption, but I can totally see him bombing out. The fact that he is headed to FSU doesn't help my perception.
January 5th, 2012 at 8:40 PM ^
I saw him when ESPN was doing the Elite 11 special. The guy is amazing and will be a stud at the next level. He's a joker but takes the game seriously.
January 5th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
May be true, but thats all edited. They're not gonna make those guys look bad on the show.
January 5th, 2012 at 10:16 PM ^
He has a legit shot at being taken in the first couple rounds of the MLB draft unless teams get scared off because he is going to play football.
