The recruiting disaster was mitigated today with the chaotic commitment of a prospect just up the road from me, Davonte Neal from Scottsdale Arizona. This guy has speed and I hope he holds things together and get through Notre Dame.

Generally highlight videos had better be good because he's a college player against high school opposition. Therefore ( Read more... )

adb_jaeger becomes closet fan of Kansas.

I'll be following Weis's with semi-polite amusement.  At least he'll get somewhat balanced media coverage   
at KU because no one outside the state cares enough to hate them.
