WARNING: For the next 24 hours, you may see printed words that turn out to be completely false. This is Signing Day. It happens. Hang tight and we'll all get through this together.
Ready to watch high school seniors embarrass themselves on national tv while helping that small mom-and-pop sporting goods store in their hometown make the hat sales quota for the month? It's signing day and ATVS is ready to party.
But not literally. We're all working just like most of you. We'll do our very best to keep the tally board up to date and keep an eye out for late breaking switches and shenanigans.
Tomorrow is also free reign for specious rumors. Got a hot tip but your only source is your mother's brother's cousin's boss's son's crew driver? Use the FanPost or FanShot feature and we'll put it right here on the front page. Sure it could turn out to be blatantly incorrect, but half the fun of signing day is chasing down insane rumors.
And what if you have decided to burn a sick day now instead of next Monday? (plan ahead people) ATVS.com will work from most phone browsers, so feel free to comment from the crowd or send us pics or video's you take yourself.
Remember it's your last gasp of football till Sunday (man, that feels great to say) It better be enough to hold you till spring ball in late March.

That Tennessee DT commit is still a possibility. Not likely but keep am eye on him. Some sites are reporting Fobbs is ours. Strange, but I think we sign 4 wide receivers tomorrow. I tend to agree with those that view fobbs as a cb tho.

That was the “rip LSU’s class” segment, probably planned before the day as a story. And then they didn’t readjust when today’s events changed the cript. The VERY NEXT SEGMENT was talking about Boone being committed to Texas Tech. Oops.
And about Shepard… HE WAS A FRESHMAN. Jesus, Tebow was barely invovled in the UF offense as a freshman. Get over it.

He’s comparing critics of LSU’s use of Shepard to the similar non use of Tebow in his first year. There’s no telling what Shepard will be and Poseur isn’t saying he’s Tebow.

He always interprets things as negatively as possible. I’m used to it.
The point is: not even Tebow was an impact freshman, so stop panicking that Shep wasn’t. Not even a great like Tebow was an impact freshman at QB. The fact shep wasn’t an impact freshman means precisely nothing.

To be fair
Tebow did score 13 total TD’s as a true freshman.
But none of us have argued Shep shouldn’t have been used more. Point is, it doesn’t mean he won’t go on to still do great things.
by Billy Gomila on Feb 3, 2010 12:01 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
well either both of us suck at reading comprehension
or neither of us, b/c i was commenting on the impication of tebow’s “non use.” tebow played a pretty big role his freshman year, he just didn’t start. if nothing else he pretty much single handed beat lsu his freshman year, to go along with a couple td’s in a little something called the national championship game. not to mention countless 3rd and 4th down converstions throughout the year. that does not compare favorably with shepard’s freshman year now does it??
for what its worth, i will be the first to agree that shepard was underused/misused and i will still fear him every time he touches the ball for the next 2-3 years.

LSUFreek (yes, that one) claims to know Mathieu’s mom and says he’s NOT a grade risk.
That’d be nice because a lot of the pundits said he was the best cover guy in this class and the only thing keeping him from being the top corner was his height (which is a stupid justification).

Ego’s worth the risk. Blue is loseable given how many RB recruits we have. Simon really is intriguing and I’d hate to lose him. Maclin’s part of a big LB class, he’s also “loseable”
You don’t want to lose anyone, but if I have to pick: Blue then Maclin. It’s worth a bit of risk. We cannot afford to lose all four, but losing 2 would be the upper limit of acceptable.

Trovon Reed . . .
. . . signed with Auburn, I take it?
I was convinced he’d head there after reading that story in the Advocate about the tragedy with his mom, in which he talked about needing to get away from “that life.” It reminded me of the Joe McKnight Saga, where I believe it was reported he wanted to get away from the Katrina fallout, both actual and emotional.
Having said that, I wish him the best, and am all smiles about today. Say what you want (and I have said much) about the coaching staff, they are closers on NSD.
by Hutchicus on Feb 3, 2010 2:41 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Reed signed with Auburn
He didn’t jerk us around and he handled his recruitment with class. He didn’t choose LSU, but I think he was straight-forward with us from the get go. It seems he was conflicted by the decision, as its hard for a Thibodeaux kid to not go to LSU, but I think he made the right choice for himself.
No need for us to bash those who are now Tiger Bait (not that you were)

To be sure.
I only meant the comparison so far as it goes. McKnight’s character is a matter of record, and, from what little we’ve heard of Trovon, the gap in earnestness could stretch from Pasadena to Auburn and back.

I like Jordan Allen.
Rivals says that Jordan reminds them of Jared Allen. Even if that’s only because he has the name Allen, that’s worthy of excitement.
Also, Tyrann Mathieu is the son of the former King and Queen of Zulu, and that’s really cool.
Spencer Ware is that pounding RB that Les Miles loves. He’s 223 lbs and ripped, so he will probably skip the redshirt year and get some snaps right away because he’s already in Moffitt-shape.

If Ware's not getting carries
Then I’ll truly buy into the “Les only plays veterans” rhetoric. Unless of course Ridley or Murphy come out gangbusters.
There hasn’t been this good of an opportunity for freshmen tailbacks (and I’m counting Mike Ford and Drayton Calhoun as well) to get playing time in years.

Stuck in Ohio
I like Ware, if only because it’s fun to have a(nother) reason to mock Ohio State fans here in the heathen North.

I'm lousy at predicting who plays
But if I had to guess, Eric Reid and Ronnie Vinson get on the kickoff team early.

Hell, I like them all
they’re all Tigers. That’s good enough for me.

Travis Dickson anyone?
Don seems to think very highly of him.

He looks Josh Downs
Just a lil smaller and playing end. Unblockable.
It’ll be interesting to see how this kid develops.

By the way,
you should fill in Evan Washington’s spot. He’s already enrolled.

I'm hopeful
We’ll see a clean slate with the chances to get the right guys in the right spots on this team starting in the spring.

Les Miles comments
He likes Jeremy Maclin at linebacker, calling him the best of the LB prospects.
Mathieu, Vinson and Simon are all capable at CB.
