Jones and McFaddenWith national high school football signing day closely approaching, it is also that time of the year when the underclassmen from college will be choosing to stay in school or declare for the NFL draft. Being a Michigan fan, for the first time ever I am keeping a close eye on the incoming recruits for next season. Michigan has already lost 2 of their starting wide receivers for the NFL draft in juniors Mario Manningham and Adrian Arrington. On top of that the #2 quarterback recruit from last season Ryan Mallett of Michigan has decided to transfer out of Michigan because of the recent coaching change with Rich Rodriguez coming to town. Mallett I think realized that Rodriguez's offense scheme would not fit his style as a quarterback and now Michigan will be looking to get a top recruit to come in. The #4 overall recruit Terrelle Pryor of Pennsylvania looks to be the best fit for Michigan's new spread offense and I as well as all Michigan fans hope that Pryor decides to go to Ann Arbor. Pryor is a ridiculous athlete who might try and play basketball as well for the Big Ten school.
Arkansas also took a huge loss in their backfield today as they lost Heisman runner up Darren McFadden and their other stud back Felix Jones. McFadden could possibly be a #1 pick in this year's draft with Jones looking to impress the scouts at the combine and be at least a 2nd round pick. Forty other underclassmen in college have already declared for the draft. Other notables are RBs Steve Slaton of West Virginia, Kevin Smith of Central Florida, and Ray Rice of Rutgers. Also, DE Vernon Gholston of Ohio State, DE Derek Harvey of Florida, S Kenny Phillips of Miami, and WR Earl Bennent of Vanderbilt.
Signing day is Febuary 6 for high school recruits which is going to be here before these stars of tomorrow will know it. Here's a look at the top 10 left that are undecided and their possible whereabouts:
1. WR Julio Jones of Alabama-(Alabama, Florida, FSU)

Is Georgia already deep at the DT position or is Mark Richt just not that good of a recruiter? Everyone knows that the first step towards winning the 'ship is to keep the in-state talent, in state!!

I was questioning that myself mif! couldn't understand it
Never question Mark Richt...about anything
What makes Mark Richt infallible? Is it the fact that he refuses to win the big time SEC games? How many SEC championships has he won? All I'm saying is that if there's 2 DT's rated in the top ten overall and they're both from Georgia you damn well better get at least one of them. If they're from Florida, do you think Urban Meyer lets them leave the state? Hell, even Edsall recruits in state talent and CT high school football just isn't that good.

gotta remember mif that the 10 i posted are the top players that have not committed yet.
Good call Deez, I did overlook that part about not committed yet. After looking at Rivals.com it appears that Richt did get the number one state prospect who just happens to play DT. However, that does not excuse the fact that he hasn't won an SEC title yet.

i agree
