Huge recruiting weekend

For whatever reason, I'm having a harder time getting excited for this weekend's football game than I have for any in recent memory. Still, our enthusiasm, or lack thereof, doesn't change the fact that a number of high-profile football and basketball recruits will be in attendance, making a good showing from both the team and the fans that much more important.

Courtesy of Jody Demling, here are some of the guys who will be on campus this weekend:

FOOTBALL

Mike Privott (Louisville commit)
Timothy Smith (Top 50 receiver out of Chesapeake, Va.)
Julius Forte (Rivals.com's No. 44 defensive end)
Marcus McNeal (Speedy Fla. receiver down to U of L, Ole Miss and West Virginia)
Mywan Jackson (Gifted Fla. athlete with offers from Michigan, Auburn and West Virginia, among others)
Petey Smith (Four-star linebacker with offers from Tennessee, Florida, Alabama and Auburn, among others)

BASKETBALL

Peyton Siva (Louisville commit)
Aaron Dotson (Four-star guard out of Seattle who is close with Siva as well as class of 2010 and 2011 studs Josh Smith and Tony Wroten)

Go Cards. Go impressing wide-eyed teenagers.

Dotson..

…would be a huge get. We have some good big men lined up, we need some shooters. Especially with the 2010/2011 connections.

No thoughts on football recruits.

Slow the roll

If Krag can pull in a few of these recruits can we please get off his case for a ‘we lil bit.’ Granted I’m not a huge fan of his on-field or press conferance antics (like all of you), but lets just look at Tulsa right now. They are undefeated with HIS recruits. I hope we let these recruits come in and prove Krag’s worth.
