Washington’s Steve Sarkisian expects great success in 2010 with QB Jake Locker leading a high powered Huskies attack. Unfortunately, it’s the defense that tempers any positive feelings for Washington who boasted a young and inexperienced squad last year. For Husky fans, be grateful Coach Sark loves to give second chances as he just snagged a former UCLA recruit to add to the lack of depth at the LB position. LB Josh Shirley was a highly recruited linebacker from Fontana,...
The Colorado Buffaloes are next in the receiving line of USC transfers as WR Travon Patterson is headed to the Centennial State. The senior WR never got a chance to shine at USC being he was buried in the depth chart of the talented rich WR pool. As a Trojan, the speedster did return punts and saw some special teams playing time but as a WR he only amassed 10 catches for 96 yards, hardly NFL material. Though he only...
The wait is over! Clemson’s Kyle Parker announced today that he will be returning to the football team this fall, ending speculation of whether the QB would leave school for the Colorado Rockies (Parker was drafted in the 1st round by the Colorado Rockies last month). Parker and the Rockies have been in a bidding war over contract details and both sides reached a stalemate which influenced Parker’s decision. This is fantastic news for the Clemson community as it...
USC is doing the right thing by cleaning house of any evidence that reminds the football program it’s on probation. The first obvious move was to give the boot to AD Mike Garrett and his arrogant ways. But in a surprising fashion, USC removed Bush’s replica Heisman trophy from Heritage Hall and is going to return it to the Heisman committee. It still remains to be seen if Bush is required to return his Heisman. At this juncture, USC...
Rumors are swirling that UNC’s star defensive tackle Marvin Austin will be suspended his entire senior year due to NCAA violations to include receiving and accepting extra benefits from a sports agent. The NCAA has not confirmed or denied this rumor, but it’s becoming clear that the next time you see Austin, it will be in a professional uniform. There is speculation that Austin is not the only player to be suspended. Austin’s troubles stemmed after the NCAA was...
On Monday, the Missouri athletic department announced that LB Tyler Crane was booted off of the team for undisclosed disciplinary reasons. Crane did not comment on the news, but looking back on his career, it makes sense why he was dismissed from the team. During his Tiger tenure, he had limited playing time and only amassed 6 tackles in 22 games. For coach Pinkel and crew, this looks more like a dumping than anything else. With the NCAA harping...
As the 2010 season nears, Clemson is still awaiting word from QB Kyle Parker on his decision to either return to school or depart for the Colorado Rockies. Rumors were swirling that Parker would give Clemson his decision over the weekend, but mum is still the word as Parker and Colorado continue hammering out a potential multi-million dollar signing bonus. That alone would be reason enough to sway Parker from the gridiron. Parker was taken with the 26th pick...
