National Signing Day, 2013

[JeffHCross]

Yes, it's way too early for a thread like this.

But I couldn't pass up the chance to post this.

Texas junior-college tight end Steven Borden, who was an all-conference player this season for Kilgore College, just completed an official visit to the University of Kentucky and said the Wildcats are No. 1 on his list as he nears a decision in the coming days.

Borden, who is the the son of Steve Borden, better known as the pro wrestling legend Sting, has also taken an official visit to Texas Tech, where he had been recruited by new UK offensive coordinator Neal Brown.

I don't see how people can get up for this stuff. Unless you're Alabama or USC, 50% of the time, the big named guys come in and do squat.

Yeah, it is a pretty messed up situation. Kid has had a rough life, and apparently live with his head coach. His whole family thought he was going to pick Miami when he went to Atl for the announcement so he would be close to home, so when he picked Arky they flipped out. As a Cane fan, if the kid does not want to play here, then let him leave. There has been some talk though that his coach is friends with Coach Bielema(he was interested in Wisky when he was there) so we will see. Either way, really screwed up situation.

Seems odd a 21 year old still needs permission from his guardian. If the kid is 18 the law considers him an adult and fully capable of entering into binding legal contracts. When the story 1st broke I thought maybe the kid was 17 or something but apparently not.

Can only imagine the smack talk that Darius would be giving right now given the class that Ole Miss landed.

[NatureBoy]

There has to be something very fishy going on at Ole Miss. They land the No. 1 overall recruit Robert Nkemdiche, No. 1 rated offensive tackle, No. 1 rated wide receiver and a host of other big time recruits. They finished with the 5th rated recruiting class in the Nation. Now if this was Bama, USC, ND, LSU or Florida, I could understand but Ole Miss? Nah, I don't buy it. They were 2-10 in 2011. Last season they were 7-6. Ole Miss must have promised all of those prized recruits lots of cash and a whole lot of ass to get them to come to Oxford.

Meh the #1 recruit's older brother plays for It is my understanding the had allot of other "ins" with the big name recruits as well.

Yeah, I already knew that. I'm just not buying that all of a sudden, Ole Miss is THE place to be if you are a highly prized high school football recruit. I guess we will find out in a few years if and when the NCAA is knocking at their door.

[morsdraconis]

Pfft, it's just normal old SEC recruiting. Nothing to see here...

[ryby6969]

It also did not help the suspicions of everyone when the #1 WR tweeted a picture of him with a whole bunch on $100 bills sitting on a table during his official visit!

Now we see why Tommy was sad to see Mr. Freeze go.

Yeah, Freeze definitely has "it" when it comes to charisma, etc. As far as coaching goes, he's a mix between Malzahn and Les Miles.

chris kiffin is the big reason for their recruiting success.
