Blackman - You are correct. VT and Miami are all set to join the league this year as I just read that it was up for debate about an ACC Championship game. For some reason I thought it wasn't until 2005 but that should be an impressive conference to watch.

As for the Big East in basketball, they will indeed be a powerhouse but I must disagree as the "mecca" of college basketball has been and will remain the ACC. Being a Duke fan it is great to see the league with so many high quality teams and UNC/Duke will have a certain quality lacking the last few years. Always a great game but Roy Williams/Coach K will be special...

z2000 - thanks for getting back to me! The best thing that I have found is to look for each team's individual schedule on the web. OCSN seem to be the best place but doesn't have every team's schedule...

BigDad - Gotcha on your opinion of the ACC - pending on how the mid level teams in the Big East play vs the mid level ACC teams I think the power in college basketball will shift back and forth each year....As for my "mecca" comment, but playing on the image of the Garden and how good future Big East tourney's will be starting next year.

Will be interesting too if all these new faces will help the Big East recruiting - I'm sick of the ACC teams stealing so much NY/NJ talent :mad:. Would be very interesting to see what Patino can do with a few NYC point guards.

Thanks for the schedule.

Georgia is ranked around #7 in recruiting right now, so hopefully we will continue devoloping good talent. I think we may be able to compete for NC in two or three seasons, but I don't see it happening next year. I see us losing 2 games again next year. We may finally get the Gator monkey off of our back, but I doubt it. Tennessee is also due against us, but I don't see them coming on strong anytime soon.

I COULD NOT DISAGREE WITH YOU MORE!!!!!!

Recruiting is not over-rated. You cannot win with just great players, and you cannot win with bad players. You need great players and coaching. Coaches need to make these "great" players reach their talent. Also coaches need to recruit to the teams needs.

I think recruiting/judging talent is the most important thing.

I think it is a key thing, but no the most important, its really how well they perform. You could have the greatest players from a year ago and the greatest coaches, and you could still end up 6-6. i really don't think it matters who has the best recruiting class of last year or this year, but you would have to look down the road 2-3 years from now. Florida had the #1 recruiting class last year, look where they ended up. Same thing with the NFL draft. you can recruit the best players but that isn't gauranteed a great team..ex; Ryan Leaf, Rashaam Salaam, Gino Toretta, Charlie Ward....

WRONG

USC got the #1 Recruiting class "by far" last year. Lemming had FL and LSU ahead of USC because USC did not take a QB in the class and FL got Leak (huge get). Well many still said USC class was better than both FL and LSU. Weeks after signing day......

USC got a verbal from JOHN DAVID BOOTY. He left High School early and went to USC. He is better than both LEAK and WRIGHT (the 2 best senior high school qb's last year). Booty was the #1 high school QB in nation as a junior :eek: Without his verbal some services had USC #1, but with his verbal, USC by far was #1. Nothing against LEAK (USC WENT AFTER HIM HARD), but Booty is phenom and USC would not have gotten him if LEAK or WRIGHT came to USC.

OU did get verbal from Peterson (#1 RB in nation, not a steal) and he chose OU over USC. I think it was wise decision from Peterson to choose OU. If Peterson is the real deal like i think he is, he would have to share playing time at USC and not OU. USC just simply is loaded at RB.

THERE IS A "RUMOR" OUT THERE that Peterson might decommit from OU and come to USC. At least I think it is Peterson because I was told a 5star recruit might be coming to USC and shock the recruiting nation. This "supposedly recruit" is having change of heart. I think it has to be Peterson and do no be suprised if it happens. This recruite been calling the USC coaches. Not saying it will happen but it could and I think it is Peterson. USC does not need him but gladly will take him. He is BIG, FAST, and STRONG. Soph. Bush is the only RB that is more talented than him at USC so he prob. be 2nd best RB at USC but must compete with 3 other studs as well.

its hard to say who had the best recruit class. I thought Florida had the best class last year, but i see on USA Today, Ohio St was considered #1. But the thing with Leak though is he allready started as a freshman allready, so give him a couple years and that will be the true out come. but like i said before, you have to look at everything 2-3 years from now. Was Carson Palmer that hyped up coming out of high school, or Marucie Clarret or Larry Fitzerald. Tough to say now, but we will know in the future.

Scott - don't you think it might be Davis and not Peterson??? It would be more "shocking" if he left Ohio and went to USC with all the pressure he is under. Peterson and Rhett Bomar (#2 QB) have supposedly become good friends and had talked about playing together over the past year.

im 100% sure it isnt peterson or romar. i just read a article in usatoday saying how they were preety excited to play with eachother the next couple of years. im sure the 5-star recruit suprise would be WR Cameron Colvin, but im not sure thats a 'suprise' since he is from California, but it was rumored he would go to Michigan...Davis from what I read/heard has a verbal to Ohio St, but thats a rumor

"He is better than both LEAK and WRIGHT"


Lets be fair, you can't say for a fact someone is better then the next person until they all play out in CFB & see how they do.

scott do you have a freakin clue of anything you are saying
peterson is going to OU; where the heck do you get your info; i think you just say things and try to make people feel like you have any idea of what you are talking about; bomar and peterson are good friends and want to play together and i would take peterson over any RB on the USC team playing or not playing; some recruiting scouts call him the best rb coming out of hs since eric dickerson. He would smoke Bush and Comp. Its not like USC put up staggering rushing numbers last year even with their prolific passing attack. And you say booty is better than leak and wright; god almighty you are an idiot for making comments like that; leak played as a true freshman and went on the road and beat lsu at lsu; that alone i give him the utmost respect; booty hasnt even touched the football field; and as far as wright; who knows but his numbers and hype out of high school was just as much if not more than booty; so freakin settle down on your "RUMOR" talk

I couldnt agree with you more bbk.maybe out of high school Booty was better than Leak talent wise, but right now Leak has a starting job, not Booty. It will just help him down the road later. Im not saying Booty is gonna be bad or anything, but right now Leak has a way bigger advantage with almost a whole season under his belt..

Your both right. Leak as of now is more proven than Booty. Booty as a junior in high school was much better than Leak was as a senior in high school. It is a unanimous decision among the recruiting world. I do not mean to diss Leak in any way. Booty is just better than Leak in every aspect. Arm strength, accuracy, football smarts, everything. I also seen him in practice and he is the real deal.

By the way, Peterson does not smoke Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush was put on a list of top 100 players of college football this year before he even played a down. Lets see if Peterson makes the list. Reggie Bush is also listed as a candidate to win the Heisman next year along with 2 other USC players. You obviously have not seen Bush play at USC, because he is something VERY special. You got to be the only fan in the nation that does not see it. He will win a heisman at USC. Bush runs the ball, catches out of backfield, lines up at WR, returns punts and kickoffs. DOES EVERYTHING EXCEPTIONALLY WELL WITH WORLD CLASS SPEED AND MOVES! I take Bush over anybody in the nation, but Peterson I would give the nod over the other 3 USC RB's but not by much. USC is scary good at RB and pretty much everywhere.
:D

AS FOR WR DAVIS FROM OHIO, I now think he will be going to OSU although this kid is off the wall. He keeps delaying his decision and his coach is an ass. USC i been hearing will be getting verbal from WR JARRET and COLVIN so I doubt Davis comes to USC. I heard Davis and Jarret been keeping an eye on each other. USC had in home with Jarett and Jaret LOVES mike williams and USC was his childhood favorite. I think Jarret is the better WR now but Davis has more potential. Colvin is awesome too, and the all star coaches said Colvin was the best of the 3. I disagree but thats what he said. Very interesting how this all plays out. USC wants all 3, 99% of the teams in the nation would be happy with just 1 of them. I be estatic if USC gets 2/3 so then USC will not have any set backs if Mike Williams leaves for NFL after next year.

USC, OHIO ST. and MICHIGAN (i think Miami is out) are competing for these 3 WR's.

Reason I said I think it might be Peterson is for 3 reasons. Peterson loved USC and OU, but at OU he had far less competition than USC and Peterson loved OU before USC. No suprise he chose OU.

OU just recruited the #6 national RB and Peterson was told he would be the only RB taken.

Lastly, he verballed to OU before OU got smoked by KSU and lossed to LSU. 2 bad losses in a row. Not so glamerous anymore. I know the rumor is 5 star recruit who might decommit and come to USC and shock recruiting world. That is my guess, but these so called recruiting bombs are often "duds."

Lemming: SC to get Colvin & Davis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lemming just predicted both Cameron Colvin and Fred Davis would commit to USC in his Thursday afternoon chat.

proxy.espn.go.com/chat/ch...nt_id=4661

WORD OF CAUTION, Lemming knows jack crap about recruiting, however, Lemming loves ND and hates USC, so why print good news about USC if he did not have too?

Reggie bush will win the heisman.....just like Rick Mirer would win 3.
Ask anyone in this forum who they would take right now Bush or Peterson. Its Peterson 9-1. And thats a fact.
Oh yea; why would Peterson want to come and play for that crappy OU team that won the NC in 2000 and played in the True NC game this year and has finished in the top 10 or top 5 the last 4 years and has the best coach in college football and returns every offensive player except RB which is what he is. He is such an idiot. OU will be lucky to win 6 games next year.. God almighty you are such a freakin homer jackass. Would you please just let it go. :thefinger
