Between last night boner pill posts skating right through and now a full dinner of legit posts being eaten into the filter folder, it's safe to say the typepad filters have grown both sentient and into a mindset of a free market plutocracy.

Wait until they get to 14. Then the logic of not giving up the name will really start to strain credibility. Rocky Long knows his stuff, nothing wrong upping the ante on him and getting a verbal for someone he was in on first before everybody else. This guy's high-lights, can anyone find one of him throwing from under center in a formation? The only game action I've seen, most of the other players looked like Wonka factory workers with football pads on except for the commit, so I'm guessing he's 6'2" in cleats. I've heard of Charminade before vaguely, but if it's not LBPoly Jackrabbits on that ocean, I'm pretty uniformed about who's good year to year. Guy has good awareness, touch is impressive, arm strength is fine for his stage of development but will need to improve if he doesn't already have another gear for the quick slant route throw that I didn't see. Not a single play I can find shows him under center though and he doesn't seem to be frame big enough or fast enough to win games using his legs to beat you. Ignoring the fact I don't want to see the QB designed scrambling much to begin with in the first place, really he seems to only be a situational bootleg type of athlete at QB but I could see him moving the football with play-action heavy throws designed to move the pocket and play to his strengths, accuracy on the run and his previously mentioned superior field vision. On a side tangent, I found it hilarious that almost every single highlight in the string outs of the plays for this QB I saw, the defense had both CB's playing 10 yards off every time on the outside when the ball was snapped. He won't need to 'adjust' to the college game much at the 'Tree to what he'll be seeing at the next level if he signs here I'm thinking!
Harris was at UM from '08 to '11 Hassan. Long day in the spring in the graveyard of empires today I'm betting?

Monty I haven't watched any NHL playoffs until game six and sevens mostly and haven't watched any western conference games all year. So with that said, Ottawa/San Jose in Bettman's nightmare scenario despite having the crew from the '12 Final series game six do every elimination game with an open line from Toronto in the earpiece to ensure otherwise. Atlantic division was pretty weak this year and lack of inter-conference play makes it nearly impossible to accurately predict a final winner but I'll go with San Jose as the most recent lockout champs.

This guy 360? http://www.ocala.com/article/20130129/ARTICLES/130129660 Can't remember Forest meaning much for any length of time in the last 20 years or so, and if I'm not giving them credit due, please let me know otherwise, at least but I point that out as a compliment to Golden that he's ceding no part of the state to anybody on the recruiting trail. He's got a lot of ground to catch up there and time's getting into running a little short to do so.

Monty, between you and me, the Habs quick exit has you a little extra saltier than normal at Morris, right? I have to believe Morris bringing up the split scholarship issue in the press is an attempt to get James to equip him with the same tools his competitors have on that front. They should be so kind as to do so post haste IMO, considering the success he's brought to UM in his time there.

Edouard doesn't want Anquan Boldin's career at QB on Greentree in orange and green?

/\/\/\ 'Plays and gets along well with others,' was probably a tough behavior grade to excel at for Thomas when he was in elementary school. He had over a decade to figure it out though and didn't, so no need to allow him access to a campus that he thinks belongs to him along with everything located within it. SOUP, everybody is saying the defense will be better this year, if from nothing else only being able to be worse by about seven ranks nationally, the real question is, did you buy the Al Golden fan club stump speech as to why the defense will make that dramatic leap into one of the 1/5 best squads in the country for '13? Significant improvement is a given baseline expectation by which the real ground gained, measured as degrees of exemplary improvement, is going to be judged this year.

The ring! The ACC champions ring! Was it there SOUP?
In so much boredom, hilarity can be found; http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9259370/miami-marlins-fan-woes/ "I never gave it a thought," Conine said. "Obviously, you play off the energy of a bigger crowd. But it didn't affect me at all." Conine did remember one weird thing about Joe Robbie: In the emptiness, you could hear an individual heckler's voice with amazing clarity. It was like you and the heckler were at the same café and he was two tables over." I'll now take my award for playing the key role in making the overrated TE pretending to be a QB for the Chokies do just that last year in the 15000 that showed up.
Get a picture of the ACC title ring on The Pimp's finger, then kiss it SOUP. Kneeling optional.
So no CBS sports network but the revenue stream created from those population stats somebody posted on here has the potential to demand 2x's the SEC network? (Which is going to be as regional as it gets because the rest of the country is done listening to a bunch of also-rans pump up 'Bama so they feel better about losing to them.)
CR, that was just way too much turd dropping airing that I tuned out halfway through. I'm guessing it sums up as, 'didn't sign with UM, wasn't happy in the middle of nowhere,' and scrolling by.
The Don was quite adamant about that point O_C. So even one scholly reduction at one year, which how much lighter a slap on the wrist add on can you get than that, and still going to court? See at that point it's almost worth it to me in my view to say whatever and play football and basketball.
http://www.philsteele.com/images/Blogpics/2013covers/FloridaCover.jpg From James at like 1/20th the size of a QB that didn't even finish the year yet again in Tampa to front and center. (BTW, last year, center of Florida cover = Brandon Jenkins. Phil's preseason pick to win the title . . . FSU. Take both those for what you will.)
Do you think UM appeals even scholly reductions at this point? The Don might go for the jugular all the way now, don't put it past her, but will the board have the stones for it too is the question in my mind?
Damn, actually I'm missremembering both the story and player; Jon Colon, not DJ, although DJ did word his announcement very confusingly and before Twitter probably had people at UF, FSU and Miami celebrating before the details got ironed out. Colon did the two LOI's to Miami the day before and UF on signing day, as evidenced here; http://espn.go.com/recruiting/s/2000/0209/345447.html "Miami (Fla.) will not pursue the letter-of-intent of top offensive line prospect Jonathan Colon of Miami-Central, Fla., who signed with both Florida and the 'Canes. Colon, who announced on Signing Day that he had signed with the Gators, also signed the night before with Miami. Normally, the first letter-of-intent signed in such cases is binding, but letters must not be signed before 7 a.m. on Signing Day." It was over a decade ago and one is a future potential HOF candidate, the other is yet another central Florida bust, I can't be held liable for not having the details set in stone Q!

Q, my best recollection of it was that UM got the signed LOI on the fax first that signing day, FSU got a signed LOI on the fax next from him like in the time it would have taken Domino's to deliver him a pizza without it being free back then, then there was an argument about which LOI was going to be the official one he'd have to stand by. It was a, in a word, fiasco.

Someone check Thomas' navel and make sure the umbilical cord isn't still attached!

Matt Thomas' signing fiasco has got nothing, and I mean NOTHING, on DJ Williams' fiasco 13 years ago. Keep trying though bucky, and I guess he didn't notice USC has been garbage for half a decade now?

/\/\/\ For a three way tie in a six team division? Please. I know the schedule bar is being lowered but there's still standards at the football program that need to be kept up. And I'm not (just) talking about the joke of naming an empty trophy case football team as the 'standard' of the league when they've fallen off the cliff as soon as those words passed the football coach's lips and tickets are $5 to the game against them this year. I'm sure Al can avoid negative recruiting if that gosh darn unfair NCAA would just fast track this whole deal already, that will stop the mean other coaches from saying bad things about Miami immediately, I just know it! SMDH.

This Haith thing is interesting because I've talked to tellers at the evil corporation who have stated if you look into certain accounts (think trash 'reality' TV 'stars' who are on the cover of the local supermarket rag with their ugly sisters and a baby bump with no wedding ring) without authorization an investigation is immediately launched into the employee's actions and you're basically fired unless they or their representatives are standing there telling you to bring up the account. Now, obviously, Frank Haith isn't pregnant by a rapper, so he doesn't have that kind of protection, but still, he deserves privacy of his records despite the lawyer scum who think otherwise on the payroll of the NCAA being whipped up into a frenzy by Kyle Wrong's #1 fan who wants to elope to a state that will recognize his marriage to the bust. Got ethics? UM could also use an AD that's Got Intelligence, Eichorst apparently did as far as I can tell, James, jury's still out, Special K, BWAHAHAHA! Yeah right!

I think Barrow is too secure in his accomplishment (UM legit legend, national champ, Super Bowl champ, the dance at midfield at Cal all time highlight, etc, etc, etc . . .) to let even D'No's corny @$$ bring him down. LB's keep playing well and he's in charge (with Al as well) of special teams isn't he? Both those parts of the team are doing fine even with the constant revolving door at the LB corps, heck, Al might have put McCord at LB during the spring just to keep Jethro's knuckle dragging @$$ from wasting anymore practice time with the guy so he could get decent defensive coaching somewhere on the staff for all I know.
