Man. You're right about it being a 12-month deal. I just got a handle on the 2009 class.

Good list though -- the bolds give me some names to follow.

Funny story...when I wrote that out yesterday, it was my intention to save it and post it next week Thursday. It seems out of place without the offense in front of it. I suppose I will throw the offense targets up here...it's ready to go any time.

The offensive list has a lot more bold on it than the defensive list does...and there are quite a few big time recruits on the other side of the ball....kinda excited about that.

Just had another one come up for me...Damion Payne: CB out of Klein TX 6'0" 185 lbs. 4.41 forty yard dash was offered in the last couple of days...sorry I missed it.

Yeah, I've done the premature post before. You can always take it back but it's already in the feed so you might as well go with the flow. Looks like you're doing pretty good on figuring out how the squarespace system works though. Do you want editing control over the recruiting page? I think I can allow that and then your lists would always be just one front page click away. Just let me know if that is something you're interested in.
