Yesterday was a big day in the college football world. The dust has settled and programs across the country have reloaded with new prospects. From Kiffin versus Tennessee to Meyer versus himself, there were a ton of shorelines that impacted the recruiting game. But as usual, the rich got richer.
Both Florida and Texas brought in classes that were considered among the best of the decade. Florida’s class is headlined by freakish athlete Ronald Powell. The 6′4″ 224 pounder plays defensive end but could also play outside linebacker. Florida’s 2010 class is the best group of recruits that Scouts Inc. has ranked since they started in 2006. Amazingly, Texas’ 2010 class ranks #2 overall in that period. Both the Gators and Longhorns loaded up on defense and Texas’ commitments are headlined by DE Jackson Jeffcoat, DE Reggie Wilson, and LB Jordan Hicks.
While many of the players were locked up before signing day, there were a handful of interesting stories. USC landed coveted OT Seantrel Henderson — except he hasn’t signed yet. Henderson is waiting to see what happens with USC’s hearing with the NCAA infractions committee on February 19th. UCLA locked up a big time prospect in defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa who many thought would head to Nebraska. The biggest steal of the day may have been Michigan’s signing of safety Demar Dorsey. He had previously committed to Florida and he was rumored to be deciding between USC and Florida State.
