Prince from UCLA
where is Brian Price then???
Hey guys: are you not seeing Brian Price on the list? I added him shortly after posting the story on the front page, and I can see it on my screen. Just want to make sure there’s not a technical issue.
Price is there JT.
Abe Koroma is a beast. If he wasn’t a nutter you would be seeing him today get after LSU, but alas, he needed to beat up on regular PSU students in addition to beating up on MAC players while at PSU.
FAIL on the day of the week, heh. It’s Saturday Jan. 2nd, not Monday.

Are you the same John Taylor that caught the winning pass for the 49ers against the Bengals back in 1989? I’ll never forget Lewis Billups dropping that easy interception right before that play. Talk about a blown opportunity to win a Super Bowl. Give Joe Montana another chance like that? Haunts me to this day.
Yeah, Jerry and Joe post here sometimes too.
Oh man JPP declared!!! USF is gonna be depleted next year That makes Selvie, Nate Allen, Jerome Murphy and now JPP.
Where is Aaron Hernandez??? im pretty sure he declared too.
Rennie Curran has not declared for the draft.
Franks, Oklahoma
Joe McKnight, RB, USC
Berry or Haden hopefully land with the Vikes!!
Still can’t belive Jevan Snead is going to come out after the year he had… I know this is a real weak QB class, and I know he has more pro potential than McCoy, Tebow, Pike and a lot of the other QB’s, but after a bad year you need to stay. His only real competittion if he had waited for next year would have been Jake Locker.
I HOPE MY OAKLAND RAIDERS DRAFT A O LINEMAN IN THE 1ST ROUND
Rolando McClain
Kiffin leaving early?
He’s only a freshman.
I don’t see Kevin Basped, Stafon Johnson or Damian Williams on your list. Have they not officially declared?
Also, I think Blaze Soares would qualify as one of those guys who is forgoing his chance to apply for a redshirt.
You are correct, Skeeter. They have been added. As has the Norfolk wide receiver.
I guess Stafon Johnson counts as one of the guys who could have applied for a medical redshirt since he’s actually a senior – playing in the Senior Bowl and all…
@ Skeeter: if you really want to continue being an ass, I will really have no problem banning you.
Ouch that has gotta hurt skeeter!!! @John Taylor, who made a mistake, who made a good decision, and who could surprise?
Blaze Soares still had a year of eligibility to play but decided to go to the NFL draft
and I will have no problem being a banned ass, smegmalapper.
