[lakebum431]

Well national signing day is upon us. I sure hope that my TN Vols can pull out a surprise or two.

Seems like Big East football fans pay more attention to signings than any other area of the country. I wonder why?

I'm pretty sure you're wrong there. When Terrel Pryor was being recruited, it was national news, especially for the Big 10 teams that wanted him.

Ohio State
Michigan
Penn State.

Arrrgh, TN just lost receiver Marlon Brown to Ohio State. This is looking like a bad day for me already.

I disagree with that. It is huge in the Big 10(11) and in the SEC.

Jim Tressel has added Cleveland's own, Marcus Hall to his list of commitments to the 2009 team. Ranked sixth overall at Rivals.com, Hall brings a huge 300-lb frame that recorded 86 pancake blocks as a high school senior.

Link? If true, this is great news! I heard Marlon was debating between Tennessee, Florida, Georgia and tOSU! I'm glad the 6'5" four star receiver chose us! Yippeee!!

That was driven much more by the press than by the fans.

I enjoy following it. Maybe it's based on locality? There's a lot of local High Schools in the Cleveland area that the Buckeye's tend to target ie: Glenville, St. Ignatius, St. Ed's, etc.... Maybe since us local Ohioans are familiar with the in-state recruits, it makes it more exciting and meaningful for us.

Troy Smith, Ted Ginn Jr, Brian Robiskie, Beanie Wells, Anthony Gonzalez, all from Cleveland/surrounding area high schools.

Ummmmmm.......look at the two posts above you, a Ohio State guy is excited about this.

I think the fans were plenty excited about getting him.

There are also a lot of high schools in western PA., and I get excited when Pitt gets a local kid.

I hate to lose this kid. I think he is going to be a good one.

Thanks, we'll take good care of him.

This will definitely help a needed cog at the WR position with Robiskie and Hartline declaring for the draft.

Sweet, TN just picked up Darren Myles 4 star safety from the Atlanta area!

Can you say "second coming of Orlando Pace?"

Corey Peters stays in the state of KY. He is a Defensive Tackle who Michigan, Ohio State, and Auburn wanted really bad.

You mean THE Ohio State guy on this site.

The U has had a verbal from the SUPPOSED #1 recruit in the country, RB Bryce Brown. Unless I missed it, they are waiting for word on the #1 WR in Rueben Randle, who has been leaning heavily toward Miami...that would be HUGE!! I was sort of hoping they pick up another QB with Marve leaving. ALSO waiting for work on Orson Charles, the supposed #3 TE in the country.
