  1. I was soo indecisive, my time had expired and the next person was able to jump ahead and select seats, i felt like the NFL draft, fortunately I didn’t lose out on the player I targeted

    Where (what section) did you finally draft?

    Sec 103 Row K, I decided on the last row as I can stand the whole game, nobody behind me, good view of scoreboard and can watch plays develop. Its really personal preference whether or not you want to sit in the 1st couple rows, (which were available) and be closer to the action or sit further away & be able to see developments take place etc>

  2. I like how current and past students (I assume) are so proud of their school's reputation that they want anyone who can play football worth a lick admitted no matter how marginal their academic resume. Do you think Thornton would get admitted if he was just a regular kid applying?

    This isn't the Ivy League, but jeez, I'm glad there are some kind of standards.

    Schools with much better academic reputations and rankings let any athlete in that passes the NCAA clearinghouse, who the heck are we to be different.... Are we trying to make a point or something??

  3. I 100% agree with a running game we will be dynamite.....Glade to see JL sticking with Grothe, he really is the man!!!

    Just revisiting the past a bit... carry on.

    Just because you love someone 2 yrs ago doesnt mean you gotta love them today,  sticking with a team is loyalty no need to stick with individuals...........Whoever is producing that week is who will be the man. I have all the loyalty in the world to USF but no loyalty to indiviudals.

  4. i was one of the original members of death row and it will never be back.  the reason is that those seats are not allowed to be used any more by students.  it was the best, rowdy, and awesome student group ever.  we had coaches and even the conference commisoner come and talk to us.  he gave us free tickets to the tournament.  it will never happen again because simply the school got rid of us because we were making a bad name for the sun dome people.  mike lapan was basically the person who did not want us.  i have a videotape of all our highlights on tv and sportscenter and watch it once in a while for some big smiles

    always in death row

    Who are you?? I called the school's registrar office and they have no record that you even attended the university or graduated, can we get some real death row members to please speak on this topic.

  5. He was rated as high as Tyler Palko & Vince Young

    An early look at the top quarterbacks

    Read Max's chat transcript from Signing Day

    Max Emfinger's Top 125 players from last season

    Tyler Palko (6-3, 215, 4.55) of West Allegheny (Imperial, Pa.) may be the No. 1 all-around player in the country.

    Consider these stats: On offense, this southpaw quarterback threw for 3,428 yards and 41 touchdowns as a junior. He also ran for another 1,112 yards and 24 touchdowns. And if this wasn't enough, I just saw him run a fake punt 70 yards for another touchdown. On defense, he is just as sensational, as he logged 156 tackles and recorded 12 picks.

    The real scoop about Palko is that he could be the best free safety in the country along with also being one of the top quarterbacks.

    His dad, Bob Palko is his high school head coach and his dad sent me a great highlight tape on his son. For the first 15 minutes, Tyler is running and throwing for touchdowns, but then after that, the defensive highlights come on. It would fool the average person, because Tyler Palko is a "6 or 7 frame offer." A "6 or 7 frame offer" is a player that once you have seen 6 or 7 frames of his highlight tape, you turn off the video recorder and put him on your "take" and "early offer" list.

    In this case, I did not know the defensive highlights were coming, but I'm sure glad that I waited. It's really hard to believe that a kid playing quarterback on offense, could be this hard-nosed of a safety on defense, but Palko is that tough. I think he could become an All-American linebacker or safety in college if he only played defense.

    Justin Zwick (6-4, 210, 4.67) of powerhouse Washington (Massillion, Ohio) is my early No. 1 rated dropback quarterback. In what looks like a sensational quarterback class, Zwick is considered to be one of the best, if not the best dropback quarterback.

    His three-year career stats are very impressive as he has 7,209 passing yards and 75 touchdowns. As a junior, he passed for 2,460 yards and 24 scores and was selected as the All-Ohio quarterback. As a freshman, while playing for Orrville, he led his team to the Division III state championship. He transferred to Washington last year.

    On film, Zwick reminds me a lot of last year's prospects Brent Rawls or Brodie Croyle with his strong arm and field presence. He is also a tremendous leader who brings his teammates to a different level around him. He is tough and polished at the same time. I really love this kid. I believe that Zwick, along with Palko, will be two of my favorite players in this recruiting class, just like Rawls and Croyle were in the class last year.

    Zwick tells me that right now he likes Ohio State, Michigan and Pittsburgh as his early favorites. In fact, Ohio State might be in the early lead as Zwick visited their campus while the Buckeye students were on spring break. Zwick has also been to some Ohio State basketball games.

    Vincent Young (6-5, 200, 4.38) of Madison (Houston, Texas) is a definite cross between Tyler Palko and Justin Zwick, because he displays the talents of both of those great quarterbacks. I recently saw film on Young and the first thing that you notice is that he is a tremendous physical specimen and that he would be a once in a lifetime player for any coach.

    At a recent spring practice, there were eight big-time college coaches standing on the sidelines hoping that Vincent would see their monogrammed shirt. These coaches were all in complete shock to see how gifted a quarterback that they were able to see practicing on the Madison practice field.

    These coaches were not only highly impressed with this great physical specimen, but also at the way he handled himself and the way he threw pinpoint spirals to his many receivers. At 6-5, he is the perfect dropback quarterback, but when you can run a 4.38 in the forty, you could play any position on the field. All who have seen this kid are in total shock as to his unbelievable potential.

    Although, Young is a dropback quarterback, he ran for nearly 1,000 yards as a junior and averaged about 8.0 yards per carry.

    Every college coach that has seen Young, feels that he can lead them to the national championship. Young told me that his top five schools are Florida State, Texas, LSU, Miami and Oklahoma.

    Evan Kraky (6-3, 195, 4.5, 950) of Lakeland (Jermyn, Pa.) is one of the best pinpoint passers that I have seen lately. He simply does what he needs to do in moving the team down the field for a score. He also rarely comes off of the field and is an aggressive free safety who hits hard and intercepts frequently.

    In watching film on Kraky, and seeing him throw the short passes to perfection, it's hard not to remember another quarterback by the name of Ty Detmer that did much of the same. There is a very distinct difference in the two, because Kraky can run with the ball on either an option play or scrambling out of the pocket.

    On one play in particular, Kraky ran to his left, stopped and hit a receiver back to his right on a misdirection play for about a 30-yard touchdown. He throws the quick outs and quick look-ins with great confidence and he is also very polished on his quick fade patterns.

    Kraky looks like a born leader on the field and he is a leader on both sides of the line. His 13 career interceptions are pretty exceptional for a quarterback who never comes off of the field.

    His career passing also reads pretty well as he has completed 301 of 535 for 5,782 yards and 64 touchdowns. He only needs about 1,600 passing yards to break the state passing record. He should get it in the first half of the season.

    I really like this kid and his leadership abilities. He is also very smart with a 3.2 GPA and a 950 on his first SAT. He averages 15 points a game in basketball and he hit three home runs in baseball. Kraky tells me that his early favorites are Tennessee, North Carolina State, Penn State and Pittsburgh.

    Trent Edwards (6-5, 200, 4.7) of Los Gatos, Calif. may be the real superstar quarterback on the West Coast. Edwards has a phenomenal record as a junior when he completed 78% of his passes. He completed 125 of 160 passes for 2,290 yards and 29 touchdowns with only four interceptions.

    Edwards has all of the tools to be the best quarterback in the country. He has the size, uncanny accuracy, and tremendous arm strength. "Trent has everything that you need as a quarterback, but his field presence is his biggest asset," says his coach Butch Catallico. "I've never seen a high school quarterback with more poise in the pocket."

    Trent never gets rattled in the pocket and he is always looking downfield for that receiver to break into the clear. Even if the pocket protection breaks down and he gets sacked, he's always back on the very next play with the same poise that he had on the same play that he just got sacked.

    Edwards is also a pretty good athlete for a big guy, averaging almost 16 points a game in basketball.

    Every college in the country has made contact with Edwards, but Stanford, UCLA, and possibly California and Southern Cal have the best chance to sign him All have offered, along with Oregon State on the West Coast.

    Gavin Dickey (6-1, 185, 4.42, 990) of Lincoln (Tallahassee, Fla.) is another super athlete, like Vincent Young, who is being recruited to play quarterback but who could easily play a number of other positions.

    As a junior, Dickey passed for 1,418 yards and 18 touchdowns and also ran for another 1,086 yards and 10 touchdowns. He caught passes for 187 yards and three more scores.

    The Lincoln team is so talented, it is amazing how many weapons that they can use in the course of a football game. Even with all of these weapons, none of them can constantly change the outcome of the game more than Dickey. He is a great leader and the team always rallies around him.

    In baseball, he throws a 93-mph fastball. On the track team, he has run 10.7 in the 100m and posted 4.42 in the 40-yard dash.

    Virginia Tech thinks that he is a shorter version of another Michael Vick and they were one of the first teams to make an offer. He now has offers from Nebraska, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Syracuse, Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, Florida, Clemson, LSU and Tennessee.
