Today is national signing day and there hasn't been a single post from a Mountaineer yet. Amazing.

In other news, who's got the best recruiting class for '08?

Miami, Clemson, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia are the Top 5 I heard.

And I think the NY Times may need to take a look at Minnesota for having a Top 25 recruiting class, considering they went 1-11 last year. rolleyes.gif laugh.gif

Yeah Miami's done a nice job, which is surprising considering the season the Canes had last year.

The next Brady Quinn? Or at least some better eye candy than Jimmy C ...

Wow, a story just came across about that recruit who was supposedly duped. Now he's saying that he made the whole story up. Geez. What a loser.



No doubt. He could have at least been more clever. He listed Pac-10 schools Cal and Oregon as his two final choices before commiting to the Bears. He should have mentioned WAC schools like Fresno, Idaho, and San Jose State as finalists. That way no recruiting servies would question the validity of his commitment since most of their recruits are not as heralded as Pac-10 schools, thus not sending red flags to recruiting services.

Dave Wannastedt has done an incredible recruiting job, despite the fact the Panthers haven't been to a bowl game since 2005. In fact, his recruiting class has been ranked at the top of the Big East for the third year in a row. It's too bad he can't convert the talent into wins.

On another note, highly-touted prospect Terrelle Pryor of Jeannette, PA, still hasn't made an announcement as to his college choice. His final list includes Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan.

WVU got a taste of Pitt's past 2-3 recrutiting classes finally coming together in the season finale. If Bostic improves at QB, Pitt can beat any team on it's schedule. McCoy gets a lot of pub, but Pitt's defense was good last year and should be outstanding this coming season. LB Mckillop (sp?) as good as LB as there is in America.

It's true about LeSean McCoy (1,328 yards, 14 TDs rushing; 244 yards, 1 TD receiving), and I think he'll be even better this season. As to Bostick being the starting QB, Pitt has five QBs on their roster. I don't know if Bostick will be the starter, as Bill Stull has returned. Incoming freshman Tito Sunseri is in the mix as well. If their receivers and QBs click, I predict a better finish than last year's 5-7.

On defense, the Panthers brought in former SMU coach Phil Bennett as their defensive coordinator. LB recruit Shane Hayle is among the nation's top 100 players. The thrilling victory over WVU should provide some momentum going into next season, but can they run with that force?

P.S. You spelled McKillop correctly. wink.gif
