Letter of Intent Day News and Notes.

[The Ancient Enemy]

Guys, tomorrow, I am going to try and get out of bed and give you dudes some updates. As you may or may not know, tomorrow is LOI Day for college football. Things will be very interesting. The reason why I am givng you updates (otehr than the fact that you all look up to me as a serious beacon of society) is because I have a subscription to some recruiting services.

PSU will find out about Justin Brown and Jelani Jenkins. Not sure if there will be any surprises but Jim Noel from Mass (BC commit) is maybe leaning to PSU now. Noel was named a major sleeper pick for 2009, so we will see.

I'm not sure what Pitt is planning for tomorrow, sadly. If anyone has been watching Pitt, please provide some updates if you can. Pitt grabbed another commit today.

Will Secord of Frisco, whom I have seen, has decommitted from Arkansas and committed to FSU. There were grumblings about this maybe taking place, and now it has. He's a pretty good player.

If anybody has any info tomorrow on any teams, go ahead and post it if inclined. This recruiting stuff is extremely interesting to me, and I get more and more into it every year. I can't wait.

Jarvis Jones and Dre Kirkpatrick are the only two guys left on UT's wish list. Kirkpatrick is almost a lock for Alabama. Jones is a question mark. Of course, the Longhorns faithful have their hopes up, but so does every other school in the running. I won't believe he is signing until he announces at 1:30 Eastern time tomorrow.

Awesome preview by ESPN, TAE. I know you hate it, but this is a good one.

So far so good with the Lions. Michigan lost a kid to Texas Tech, and Ohio State has lost a few.

Jenkins went to Flordia which is what I expected. The decision of the day for the Nittany Lions will be made at 2:30 when Brown picks between PSU and Rutgers. Brown is the only one PSU is really still in the mix for but rumors keeps flying about Noel decommiting with BC and signing with PSU.

Got an email that Pitt did get a former Maryland commit today > Ryan Schlieper OL out of N. Allegheny; rated as 29th best prospect in Pa...skinny is has a great frame (should red-shirt & bulk up) & moves well for his size, between 6'4"-6'5"

Panthers, however, did not get a 'topping' on this class with either NJ stud they pursued 'till the end.....safety/athlete Josh Evans signed w/ Fla. & DT Holmes stayed home committing to Rutgers!

Here's kind of a strange update from Scout:

12:42 p.m.

Everyone has signed for Alabama over Tennessee. --Allen Wallace

Since we all know the Vman represents fair & balanced reporting.....just got another email from a Pitt buddy in the N. Hills claiming this dude is a soft stiff!

USC is getting everyone again.

[vman]

USC didn't get this one......Notre Dame just pulled off one of the biggest shocks of the recruiting season. That’s because five-star linebacker Manti Te’o signed with the Irish at a ceremony in Hawaii on Wednesday morning, giving the Irish their biggest get on defense in nearly a decade.

IRISH resurgence begins in 09!
