Running back Keeley Dorsey dies after workout

Colt Brennan pulled out of the draft and will return to Hawaii

[DH]

Not sure why considering his last performance in the Hawaii Bowl. What more could he have done?

Must have been scared that Russell and Quinn would be drafted ahead of him.

i agree....no reason he shouldnt come out

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Maybe he found out the skins were planning to draft him.

[BigEd76]

His draft stock wasn't that high because of concerns over Hawaii's system, Timmy Chang, etc.  If he puts up similar numbers next year, he'll challenge Brohm for a top 10 spot.  With Russell and Quinn in this year's draft, he would have fallen to the 2nd round if he stayed in...

that makes no sense whatsoever

[BigEd76]

Just like Chang, many view him as being a product of June Jones' run-and-gun system that puts up huge numbers every week against awful WAC defenses while playing on turf, and he doesn't have the ideal build for a QB (he's less than 195 pounds).  He's had two great years and most considered him a 2nd-rd pick, possible 3rd, as of now because of the depth of QBs in this draft.  If he has another awesome year and maybe adds about 10-15 pounds of muscle, he could be a legit prospect looking at a top 10 selection.  As of now, Louisville's Brian Brohm is the only other QB expected to go top 10 next year, but as we saw with LSU's JaMarcus Russell this season, you can go from being a 2nd round pick to #1 overall quickly...

so two years in a suspect system makes you a 2-3 rounder but a third year makes you a potential top 10 pick

It doesn't hurt that he goes to school somewhere kind of nice.

Recruiting tool
One of the odder sights you'll see as you drive down I-95 South into Miami is a giant billboard on the right side of the highway. It says simply: RUTGERS FOOTBALL.

The state university of New Jersey, coached by former University of Miami defensive coordinator Greg Schiano,is obviously making a strong pitch for some of the nation's best high school football talent in South Florida.

Still, that billboard really seemed out of place in South Florida rather than in South Jersey.

I was looking for a quote from a Temple football coach for my upcoming story, and was told some of them were recruiting in Canada. And had blackberrys. Woohoo tuition money.

[Cerevant]

Woohoo tuition money.

This never ceases to piss me off. 

To be in division one, your entire athletic program must be self supporting.  Generally this means that a school's football or basketball program (or both) carry the rest.  100% ticket sales and donations.  No tuition dollars, no state dollars.  Period.
