06/12/11 Recruiting starts earlier and earlier every year, with many junior players opting to commit early. But usually, the focus of the new class comes after National Signing Day for the previous class. With that, some schools storm out of the gate with early pledges such as Texas, Texas A&M and LSU this year, among others. Then there are other schools that get off to slow starts for one reason or the ...
05/31/11 With his brother Arie already attending the University of Alabama, Saban and the Tide seemed a shoe-in for the 5-star Under Armour All-American.

05/12/11 A few classes out of the 120 FBS schools are starting to take shape and form. Many of the big name 5-star and 4-star recruits have yet to make a decision and pick which class to headline, but some good prospects are in a couple teams' folds. Surely these rankings reflect the current status as of now, and will fluctuate routinely all the way through National Signing Day 2012. But for now, we ...

05/05/11 National Signing Day 2011 may very well be known as the day SMU began its official rise back to college football glory. With two bowl appearances under his belt, head coach June Jones was able to assemble one of the finest recruiting SMU has seen since the 1980s.

04/12/11 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Its the springtime National Signing Day, and maybe its a good day to look back as well as ahead on Kanawha Valley fortunes in major college mens basketball. Too often, it seems, talent in our own backyard is downgraded - as much by loc...
04/12/11 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Tyson Gale stood inconspicuously in the back of the room as Marshall Coach Doc Holliday gushed about his 2011 recruiting class on National Signing Day in February. Gale, a rising senior linebacker for the Herd, listened intently as Hol...
03/31/11 First he committed to Alabama, and then during the Army All-American game, he switched to Auburn. After that, Brent Calloway told everyone he would not be switching and that he was solid with the Tigers. Then, on National Signing Day, Calloway signed with Alabama. As his recruitment went back and forth between the Iron Bowl schools, Calloway was regarded as one of the best recruits in the ...
02/24/11 The passage of each National Signing Day brings great joy, and not only because it means I'm due some vacation time. Since 2008, I've had the honor of selecting a team composed entirely of players largely ignored by college coaches and recruiting service starmakers.
02/23/11 The Horned Frogs lead our pack of teams just outside the top 10 for the 2011 preseason. Since my first preseason college football rankings , National Signing Day has come and gone, leaving us with a better sense of the recruiting winners and losers for the 2011 offeseason , and giving me plenty of information with which to redo the rankings. "Who would beat whom on a neutral field?" is the ...
02/16/11 College football is starting to hit a dry spell after National Signing Day has come and gone. We saw a ton of top high school prospects sign with some of the biggest programs in football. Now, we speculate for the 2011 season. Which teams are destined to be in the top 10 of the top 25 schools in the nation? Which teams will be eying a BCS National Championship? Without Cam Newton and Nick ...
02/15/11 With the spring ball practices right around the corner and with the potentiality of an NFL lockout, college football is arguably more popular than ever. In addition, National Signing Day lived up to the hype and a lot of schools did some great recruiting for a rebound in 2011 (after a disappointing 2010 campaign). Does your school make the list? Well friends, there's only one way to find out ...
02/14/11 Jadeveon Clowney is staying home to play for Steve Spurrier and the South Carolina Gamecocks. Clowney is the clear cut No. 1 recruit in the nation.

Clowney said he still had one visit to take so he waited until today to announce. He picked the home state school over ...
02/13/11 When USC was hit with heavy sanctions last June, National Signing Day 2011 looked like a fantastic opportunity for the UCLA football team to stockpile some great talent. Last February, UCLA compiled a top 10 recruiting class according to both Rivals and ESPNU, and Coach Rick Neuheisel added his name to the list of elite recruiters in the nation. Well, a horrid 4-8 season, capped off by the ...
