Right.. If you're serious I would love to see what CH would do to a freshman tackle, I don't care how highly touted he is.

A better question is who wouldn't want to go to the U?
Coral Gables isn't exactly South Beach, but it's still a ******* awesome place to live.

Not every one will agree, but if I were a high rated prospect, I would definitely consider schools in places I would want to live. Sure, the team in an awesome location might not be the best in their conference, but at least I would be happy where I was.

One of my favorite Bill Simmons passages ever. Granted, it's intended for people who obviously have no future in professional athletics, but, for the life of me, I still can't figure out why ANYBODY would want to go to, say, Ohio State, Michigan, or Notre Dame instead of USC, Miami, Texas, or even a place like SDSU:

Glad we settled that. And while we're here, with the college application season wrapping up, allow me to make my annual case for everyone to apply to warm-weather schools. Don't spend four years in cold weather. There's no reason. Go south, go west, but go. And if they have a good sports team, even better.
I know people who attended the following schools: Pepperdine, the University of California at Santa Barbara, USC, UCLA, Rollins, North Carolina, Arizona, Arizona State and the University of Texas. Here's how many of them regretted their choices: Zero. Meanwhile, the majority of my friends attended cold-weather schools … and only a handful of them would travel down that same road again. Again, why spend four years of your life in cold weather when you don't have to do it? And why pick a college with crummy sports when you don't have to do it? Beyond everything else, remember this above all: It doesn't matter where you went to college as much as what you did when you got there. I have successful friends who went to every type of school; I even have successful friends who never graduated from college. So don't stress out about it, expand your horizons, don't be afraid to take a chance and please know that I'm telling you this only because I wish somebody had told me.

exactly, attend a school you think seems like a great place to live for 4-5 years and just go with it. even if you want to end up in the NFL, who cares? if you work hard enough and are good enough, the NFL will find you.

I go to Ohio State and I can't believe we get any recruits out of Florida. Hell I cant believe I didn't go somewhere south every time it snows.
I love it at OSU, but if I got to choose again I'd be going somewhere nicer to live. Then again, Ive had friends go to places like South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, and California and most only last a year before transfering somewhere back up here to be in the cold again.

Fully eligible and will be on campus Aug. 3rd
Guess he wasn't BSing me when he told me Miami was a very close 2nd in his recruitment. Funny thing was is that he told me Lane Kiffin said "there wasn't anything to worry about" with pending sanctions when I met him drunker than hell.

What happens to the other guys that signed? Aren't they at their limit of 25 scholarships?

New Mexico State has a better chance of winning the NC than USC does. I would leave as well if I were a recruit.
