Didn't see any other threads on it, it's related to recruiting, and it's a free article -- so I thought it was fair game. Feel free to close the thread (or let it die) if it breaks any rules.
Couple interesting points to me:
1) None of the Rivals guys picked OSU to get Dontre Wilson
2) Kynon Codrington has Michigan to get Cam Hunt (huh?)
3) No consensus on where Vonn Bell goes
4) Alabama could end up with 4 4* RBs in this recruiting class
5) Everyone thinks Zeke sticks with OSU, and Poggi sticks with Michigan

Want to say hello?
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
I personally think that we get either Clark or Timmons and that is it. Unfortunatly whichever player Florida doesn't want is most likely ours. (I hope it is Timmons)
I totally disagree. We will definitly recieve more pledges than one to play at Ohio State before NSD. Go Bucks!
Jesus.. where the hell did Ole Miss come from?
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.

Cha-Ching.
No offense Tenn, I think Seth Green does it better...
Manning Money!
$$$... I relaly dont know but that is what everyone claims.
But yeah, it is crazy huh? Definetly NOT normal...
I know right? Their basketball team is around the top of the SEC this year, and now they are putting together top football recruiting classes? There's something fishy going on down in Mississippi... It will be interesting to see if they can actually use the recruiting class to make waves though.
I was surprised by everyone saying Poggi will stay with scum. It seems like most places/people have thought he was a Bama flip but maybe everything was Michigan fans freaking out over the visit (sounds oddly familiar). Also nobody picking Wilson for the good guys was a bit of a surprise. I still think there is a chance there although I would put it at 30-40%.
Meh to them. Some of those picks were done just to be different than everyone else.
1. Kynon Codrington has Hunt to M*chigan when Hunt said he was down to Oregon, and Cal.
2. Dontre Wilson hasn't even visited Texas yet, but two people have him going there.
If Chris Jones goes to Ole Miss, i'm calling the feds. :/

Not to mention, Michigan said it was done with 6 Olinemen after Dan Samuelson flipped.
Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

Would be huge to get Bell and Wilson........hoping that we get and extra christmas present this year.....
Ole Miss is obviously the flavor of the month, but Tennessee would look to be the come-from-behind winner if they close like these projections suggest, along with Auburn. Truthfully, it usually is a southern school that closes strongly, but it seems like all the big names are pretty spread out due to them playing similar positions.
Couple of notes:
I thought Elder was UCLA-bound?
Derrick Griffin's inclusion on this list might suggest that A&M's haul could change over the course of the next week. Just way too many kids.
I don't think anyone can truthfully say they know where Bell will land. Gotta say, one of the better poker face recruits I can remember.
I think Elijah Daniel will flip again.
I thought Elder was headed to Purdue for basketball?
Yep, heard that too. Good call.
Word is Aurburn is giving Elder chance to play fball and bball.
Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens
I like that they aren't saying Bell to Bama
If you give a commit a scholarship for football or basketball (or any other scholarship sport) then he can play the other sport without the institution having to commit another scholarship, correct? So why don't schools - especially middle of the road schools - openly avail multi-sport participation for a given recruit. It might snag them some kids they would not otherwise get, and it leaves a scholarship open for another recruit?! Does this happen frequently, or am I a friggin' genius? I hope the latter.

It makes sense, but it doesn't happen often for a reason.
With basketball starting so early the last 20 years, a football kid (especially if he goes to a bowl) misses half the season, and the basketball numbers (home and travel) are tight.
Ricky Dudley played both for us a million years ago, but was pretty medium at hoops. I watched Tony Gonzalez do it at Cal, and he was a force.
Wasn't Antonio Gates a basketball recruit for Kent State (or Akron - sorry), then blew up on the gridiron?

- James Patrick Tressel
Gates was at kent st on their elite 8 team that lost to Indiana. He never played college football. His agent told him he could make more money in football. So he went through some free agent try outs and the rest is history. I believe he was an all-American that year he lead kent st to elite 8. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Purple Raider
Charlie Ward was the most balanced player (between basketball and football) that I could think of. Maybe this warrants it's own thread.

Bo knows baseball.
Im so confused as to why not 1 single person thought Dontre Wilson would pick OSU.
-Ole Miss probably finishing there class with Nkemdiche, Antiono Conner, Austin Golson, & holding onto Elijah Daniel would be a top 5 class. Thats landing 3 STUDS and keeping one.
-Looks like Bama will land Kamara, Liner, keeping Tenpenny with the chance of landing Bell would most likely keep that #1 spot.
-Auburn could make a big splash as well on NSD. With the chances of Relanding Foster, and landing Alexander, Elder, Ford, & Taj Williams, while holding onto Lawson.
-Also Florida State, Clemson, UCLA could have big days as well.
