This is part of the One Year Later recruiting series, where we’re looking at the top recruits from 2008, now that they have a year of college time under their belts. You can see the full list here.
Marcus Forston. Rivals.com called him “maybe the best nose tackle prospect in the past five years.” USA Today put him on their championship team. He has wide receiver talents as well as defensive tackle talents.
And then he picked University of Miami.

The top recruit this year is Bryce Brown from Kansas, a running back who has said repeatedly that he’ll be going to Miami, making the official announcement on March 12. If he doesn’t said a letter of intent today, though, the school may not want him.
The offer currently on the table expires at midnight, and one of the recruiters has one on record as saying that the offer probably won’t be renewed. Even though Brown has said that he’ll be going to Miami, he already visited five other schools and has a scheduled visit to LSU next week. …read more

Emerald Bowl Result:
California 24, Miami 17

Cal tailback Jahvid Best (4) breaks for a first quarter touchdown.
Champs Sports Bowl Summary: California started strong, but by the second quarter, Miami’s offense decided to play too. After halftime, it was 14 all (and then 17 all), and Cal quarterback Nate Longshore was making it clear why no one’s talking about him for the draft. Yes, he pulled things out in the end with a short pass to Anthony Miller with just a few …read more

This is outdated! Thanks for your comments, and I hope you’ll check out the updated list here: http://www.everyjoe.com/2008-new-ncaa-uniforms/
Football uniforms have always been a hot topic. It makes sense – if I’m going to shell out the cash for a fan jersey, I don’t want to look like a douche. There are quite a few teams getting new uniforms in 2008, so I thought I’d compile a list of links to show you. If your team is getting new uniforms and you don’t see them on this list, leave a comment to let me know!

Early this year, I reported on some of the amazing NFL players that traveled to the Middle East on a short tour to support the troops. College football is following suit, and today it was announced that some of the NCAA’s most respected coaches will be heading to some bases come May. Among those making the trip are:

Randy Shannon, Miami
Charlie Weis, Notre Dame
Mark Richt, Georgia
Tommy Tuberville, Auburn
Jack Siedlecki, Yale

Let’s set any rivalries aside for a moment here. What the men and women in our armed forces are doing is nothing short of amazing. In the United States, we’re disconnected from …read more
