Ya'll just heard Jim Rome talking about Lane Kiffin and how Lil Wayne made a line about him on no ceilings?

That boy is a clown...not sure it's thread worthy but there should be a vid soon.

Good young quarterback, makes a lot of plays, arm strength is suspect, throws too many picks. His decision making will get better with time

[h1]Whispers: Leaders emerge for Fla. stars[/h1]
Mike Farrell
Rivals.com Football Recruiting
With the recent commitment of Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas running back Giovanni Bernard to Notre Dame, at least one of the top prospects in the stateof Florida has made a decision. But most of the top players in the state have yet to decide on a school. So with November quickly approaching, where are guyssuch as cornerback Lamarcus Joyner and linebacker Jeff Luc currently leaning?

Lamarcus Joyner currently favors Ohio State slightly over Florida State.

Bernard's commitment was a bit of a surprise, not because he wasn't that high on the Irish but rather because Notre Dame wasundecided as recently as a week ago about taking another running back in this class. Los Angeles Loyola athlete Anthony Barr is still undecided, and he is likely to get a look at running backif he chooses the Irish.
Bernard was impressed with Notre Dame on his visit and wanted to commit after comparing it to Nebraska. Coach Charlie Weis decided to take the four-star prospect from one of the nation's toptalent-producing high school programs.

With Bernard in the fold, Notre Dame's chances at landing his teammate, offensive lineman Brandon Linder, have improved. Rumors are swirling that a Linder decisionbetween the Irish and Miami could be made soon. The Irish also have a much better shot at swaying Joyner now, although he remains a bit of a longshot.

Joyner, another St. Thomas Aquinas star, currently favors Ohio State slightly over Florida State, Florida and Notre Dame, with the Irish moving up thecharts. Joyner is close with both Bernard and Linder, but there are more people close to Joyner who are pushing Ohio State and FSU right now. Academics couldalso play a role, and grades are one reason it would be surprising if Joyner ended up in South Bend.

With Luc, from Port St. Lucie (Fla.) Treasure Coast, it could come down to a Tennessee-Florida battle, although Florida State can't be counted out. Lucremains wide open and just took an official visit to USC. But sources continue to say Tennessee has surpassed Florida as his leader. There had been rumors thatFlorida was backing off Luc, but that is false and the Gators continue to recruit Luc heavily. Luc wants to decide in the next couple of months and it'sunclear whether FSU can sort out its coaching situation in time to jump back in the race. It would be a stunner if Luc ended up at USC.

Wide receiver Ivan McCartney, from Miramar High in the FortLauderdale suburbs, is harder to read than Joyner or Luc. McCartney has taken an official visit to Oregon but the Ducks are a longshot. He will visit Floridain late November, when the Gators host FSU. West Virginia could be the team to beat because of numerous Mountaineers connections. McCartney plays forex-Mountaineer Damon Cogdell; two former teammates, Eugene Smith andStedman Bailey, signed with WVU last year. And McCartney has been toMorgantown on his own dime, not exactly an easy trip to make. Miami is another team to keep an eye on here, and it could end up being a three-team battlebetween the Gators, Mountaineers and Hurricanes.

It could be a Florida-Tennessee battle for Chaz Green.

Offensive lineman Chaz Green of Tampa Catholiclong was thought to be a silent Florida commitment. But an official visit to Tennessee has this turning into one of the better battles out there, and sourcessay Tennessee leads. Green visited Ohio State and likely still will visit USC after the college season is over, but right now, Florida and Tennessee arebattling.
Tennessee also is a major player for Casselberry Lake Howell linebacker Christian Jones, along with Miami and Florida State; Florida, Notre Dame and USCalso are in the mix. Jones took his first official visit, to Notre Dame, this past weekend, but sources say Tennessee and Miami have the best shot at luringhim away from Florida State, where his dad played college ball. He will visit Tennessee this weekend and USC on Nov. 28.

Athlete Christian Green, a teammate and good friend of Chaz Green,this week said his leader was Georgia, but sources continue to say Florida is the team to beat. Green's only official visit has been to Athens and he wasimpressed. But he wants to take four others before making a decision, and the Gators have the edge - followed by Georgia, with Florida State and hometown USFstaying in the mix. Sources say FSU has faded for Green and that it would take a monumental comeback for the Seminoles to get his signature.

Pahokee High wide receiver Chris Dunkley is another who long has beenconsidered a silent commitment to Florida, but until he comes out and says he's a Gator, other schools will continue to recruit him. Dunkley has visitedGeorgia and will visit Alabama in early November, but Tennessee is the team to watch here; he'll be in Knoxville this weekend. Lane Kiffin has patched things up with the coaches at Pahokee, and Vols running back coachEddie Gran is one of the best recruiters in the country, so if anyone is going to swingDunkley away from Florida, it could be the Vols. This weekend's visit will go a long way in determining where Dunkley lands.

Hialeah High defensive end Corey Lemonier is hard to read. At onepoint, this was a battle between Illinois, FSU and Miami. Now it appears the 'Canes have the lead for his services, with Florida State still in the mix,Tennessee charging hard and Illinois fading. Lemonier has been to FSU and Illinois on official visits and will visit Tennessee when the Vols play host toVanderbilt on Nov. 21. He also plans to visit Miami. The Hialeah High campus is about 15 miles from UM's campus in Coral Gables.

Tampa Hillsborough cornerback Terrence Mitchell was a big-time FSUlean at one point, but now it appears hometown USF could be the team to beat, followed by Tennessee and Georgia. FSU cannot be counted out, but a lot dependson the coaching situation. Mitchell, who will be at Tennessee this weekend, loved his visit to Georgia. Mitchell's cousin, Lindsey Lamar, signed with USF last year, and the two would love to play together again.

St. Thomas Aquinas cornerback Cody Riggs is expected by most to endup at Florida. Riggs visited Tennessee in September and has seen both Georgia and Notre Dame recently, but his visit to Florida on Nov. 28 will determine wherehe signs. Word has it that Georgia is the other main contender. Riggs had once favored Notre Dame and enjoyed his visit this past weekend, but even ND sourcesfeel he will sign with Florida.

Miami Northwestern wide receiver Michaelee Harris is widely assumedto be a heavy Miami lean, and nothing I've heard makes me think differently. Harris stays in contact with current Miami receivers Aldarius Johnson and Tommy Streeter, both former Northwestern stars, and Miami is only one recruiting cycleremoved from landing seven Northwestern players.

Miami is the team to beat for Eduardo Clements.

Miami Central wide receiver Joshua Reese isharder to read. He took an official visit to Nebraska and enjoyed it, but sources feel he will end up at USF, Tennessee or West Virginia. He and two teammates- running back Brandon Gainer and quarterback Jeffrey Godfrey - want to attend the same school and USF would take all three.
Miami Booker T. Washington running back Eduardo Clements has Georgiaand Michigan near the top of his list, but Miami clearly is the team to beat. Clements' first cousin is UM wide receiver Thearon Collier, and Clements also is close with UM cornerback Brandon Harris and wide receiver Davon Johnson; all three are former Booker T. Washington stars. Clements isn't in ahurry to make his decision and could wait until National Signing Day, but there isn't expected to be too much drama in this one.

Miami Columbus running back Jakhari Gore - the cousin of former UMrunning back Frank Gore - is hard to read, and a lot will depend on whether LSU wants him. He took an official visit to LSU and loved it, but the Tigersalready have two running back commitments and also are in the mix for five-star prospect Lache Seastrunk of Temple (Texas) High. If Gore doesn't go to LSU, keep aneye on California and Tennessee.

Orlando Dr. Phillips wide receiver Kenny Shaw long has beenconsidered an FSU lock, and most still expect him to end up in Tallahassee. But if there's one team that could sway him, it could be Georgia. Shaw willvisit Georgia on Nov. 14, when the Bulldogs play host to Auburn. There had been some talk of Shaw looking at Michigan, where former teammate and good friendRicardo Miller is committed, but it's doubtful he'll leave thestate.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Florida …

There are a few top Florida prospects who are committed but have been looking around.

Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer safety Matt Elam looked at West Virginia andTennessee, but he appears solid to Florida unless the Gators take another prospect at his position. Tennessee is recruiting Elam as if he isn't committed,and the Vols' staff is relentless.

Will the Gators make a push for Texas Tech commit Kadron Boone?

Jacksonville Raines defensive tackle Louis Nixis a Miami commitment, but it wouldn't be a shock if he changed his mind and chooses Notre Dame.
Ocala Trinity Catholic wide receiver Kadron Boone is a Texas Techcommitment, but it wouldn't be a stunner if he changed his mind if the Gators come after him hard; his school is about 30 minutes from UF's campus. Thesame can be said for Ohio State commitment James Louis of Delray BeachAtlantic. If the Gators don't get Dunkley and Christian Green, Boone and Louis could be targeted.

Titusville Astronaut defensive end Darious Cummings has been lookingaround since the FSU season started falling apart and will end up elsewhere if Seminoles defensive line coach Odell Haggins doesn't make it through the coaching changes.

Many feel that Miami Northwestern offensive lineman Torrian Wilsonwill end up at Miami or someplace else in the Southeast instead of Stanford in the end.

Barr set to decide

Two weeks ago, the lead item in "Weekly Whispers" was about UCLA pulling some of the biggest recruiting surprises in the class of 2010 in landingTony Jefferson, Chris Ward and Malcolm Jones. Last week, it was about Notre Dame positioning itself for a hugerecruiting year. As expected, those teams will be going head-to-head over the next couple of months for one of the nation's top prospects.

Los Angeles Loyola athlete Anthony Barr has been a huge Notre Damelean. His father, Tony Brooks, was an Irish tailback from 1987-1991, and his uncle, Reggie Brooks, ran the ball for the Irish from 1989-1992 and currentlyworks as Notre Dame's manager for football alumni relations. Barr's mom went to Saint Mary's College in South Bend, and Barr was born in SouthBend.

UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel has made Barr one of his personal projects. He has beenworking Barr hard for UCLA. His son, 2011 quarterback Jerry Neuheisel,is a friend and teammate of Barr's at Loyola. Barr will take an official visit to UCLA following the season and make his decision after that.

Still, it would be a stunner if UCLA lured him away. Barr wants to get on the field as quickly as possible, so if it's not at running back, he's OKwith linebacker, defensive end or even tight end.

Florida focused on Gardner?

Florida quarterback coach Scot Loeffler spent an entire day at Detroit Inksterquarterback Devin Gardner's school recently to gauge his interest.Gardner is a Michigan commitment.

Could Florida be looking for another quarterback other than three-star prospect Trey Burton of Venice (Fla.) High in this class? A source said Gardner'smother loves Michigan and that it will be nearly impossible to keep him away from the Wolverines. But success by true freshmen quarterbacks Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson at Michigan this season might be enough to make Gardner take a visit toGainesville just to check things out. That's the goal of the Florida staff: Get him on campus and hope to pull a surprise.

Huge weekend for the Vols

Tennessee will host a slew of top players this weekend and it could change the landscape of recruiting in the Southeast for 2010.

Will Florida commit Demar Dorsey make it to Tennessee for an official visit?

Forget about commitments Ted Meline, Corey Miller and Brandon Willis; those guys seem solid. Forget about cornerback Christian Bryant, as he's all but committed to Ohio State and may not evenvisit. But the rest of the visitors are of great interest to recruiting fans, and it won't hurt that Miller and Willis, two good recruiters for the Vols,will be on hand.
The aforementioned Dunkley, Mitchell and Christian Jones and linebacker C.J. Mosley of Theodore (Ala.) High are huge names. Florida commitment Demar Dorsey, a defensive back from Lauderdale Lakes (Fla.) Boyd Anderson, isscheduled to visit; sources say Florida coaches are a bit surprised that Dorsey is taking an official visit and may try to talk him out of it. And two juniorcollege players - defensive end Ken Adams and defensive back Dequan Menzie, both of Copiah-Lincoln CC in Wesson, Miss. - are toppriorities.

There has also been some talk of Luc taking an unofficial visit this weekend, but that hasn't been confirmed as of this writing.

Heading into this visit, Alabama leads for Mosley and Menzie and Auburn leads for Adams, but that could change.

One final note on the Vols: If the staff decides to sign a junior college quarterback route, it is more likely to be Matt Simms than Cameron Newton at this stage. Simms, the son of Phil Simms, is a formerLouisville player now at El Camino CC in Torrance, Calif. Newton is a former Florida player now at Blinn College in Brenham, Texas.

Both are having great seasons, but Tennessee coaches were able to evaluate Simms in person while Newton was serving a suspension and only played part of thegame Vols coaches saw. Simms might not be as physically gifted as Newton, but he seems to be the lower-risk option and perhaps a better fit for the offense.Tennessee is almost certain to take another quarterback in this class to go along with Tyler Bray of Kingsburg (Calif.) High.

Etc.

Ohio State and Florida could be the teams to beat for Sharrif Floyd.

Here's the weekly Sharrif Floyd update. Following his visit to Ohio State, sources say it appearsthe Buckeyes and Florida are the teams to beat, with USC, South Carolina, Penn State and North Carolina trailing. Floyd, a defensive tackle from PhiladelphiaGeorge Washington, won't take any official visits until after his senior season, which means a trip to North Carolina next weekend appears out. He stillcould head to Penn State for the Nittany Lions' home game against Ohio State that weekend, but it's unclear whether that will happen because his highschool playoff games have been scheduled for Saturdays. Floyd still wants to visit South Carolina and North Carolina on officials in either December orJanuary, and he'll get to Penn State sometime soon as well. Penn State is fading a bit for his services, but this has happened before and the NittanyLions' coaches always have gotten back into the mix.

Junior college cornerback Andre Kates of Brooklyn (N.Y.) Asa College is a soft commitment to Indiana, butplans on visiting Miami and Oklahoma State following his season; he also is interested in Illinois, UCLA and BYU. Miami is especially interesting when it comesto Kates, as he is the cousin of former Hurricanes running back Clinton Portis. Kates, who originally is from the Baltimore area, isn't an early enrollee,so he will sign in February and can take visits in January.

Clemson, Virginia and NC State could be the next three programs to offerJustin Worley, a 2011 quarterback from Rock Hill (S.C.) Northwestern. Hethrew for 3,641 yards and 50 touchdowns in his sophomore season. Clemson has a chance with him, but the other two seem like long shots. Florida, LSU,Tennessee, North Carolina and Stanford already have offered. Worley said he's nowhere near narrowing his list, but a spread offense would seem to be aperfect fit.

Florida, Tennessee, Michigan State and Pittsburgh continue to recruit widereceiver Shakim Phillips of Wayne (N.J.) De Paul Catholic. Phillips hascommitted to Boston College, and he is expected to take an official to BC when it plays North Carolina on Nov. 21.

Some believed Tennessee was the team to beat for Fort Lauderdale (Fla.)St. Thomas Aquinas cornerback Keion Payne, but Miami appears to be outin front for his services. Florida, Florida State and Ohio State also are in Payne's top five, but that trio seems to be long shots at this point.

Junction City (Ark.) High defensive tackle Byran Jones - a four-star prospect - won't take any official visits untilafter the season, but his favorites have changed significantly the last few weeks. North Carolina is on top, followed by Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Baylor andArkansas. LSU would immediately jump into that top group, but the Tigers have not offered.

Five-star athlete Latwan Anderson of Cleveland Glenville has claimed to some that West Virginiaremains his leader, but sources close to the school still say Ohio State is the team to beat. One thing is for sure: Michigan State appears to be out. WhileAnderson's visit to Michigan State went OK, it was not enough to keep the Spartans in the mix. Anderson will visit Ohio State in December, and he'splanning an official visit to Cincinnati soon. He's going to try to visit Miami and possibly Georgia, but those two probably are slipping in what'sshaping up to be a West Virginia-Ohio State battle.

Three-star guard Andy Gallik of Chicago Brother Rice remains committed to Illinois, although thatcould change if Ron Zook is forced to make some coaching changes following a disastrousseason. Gallik is showing interest in Arizona, Boston College and Minnesota.

 

[N41D]

Toney Hurd Jr. is Irish...

Stocky undersized safety...

 

[al3xis]

this daniels kid is one of the more talented young qb's ive seen all year

 

[bigmike23]

[jville819]

2 best QB's in the ACC going at it tomorrow. Both pass D's suck so it's gonna be a show.

 

[newbs24]

UF will not Gardner. He is tyring to become an EE so it will be tough for them to get him on campus. Like Farrell said, his mom wants nothing but Michigan forher son and he is a mommas boy. If it happens to go down that way, I will b more surprised than when RoJo went to USC. But that was moms decision and not his.I can't see this happening to DG. Plus, if anything, he should see that the QB spot is still up for grabs and he could get into the mix. Tate and DRob havenot solidified anything yet.

 

[gunna get it]

Newbs, I was just thinkin same thing. Forcier and DRob have not done anything to make me think the QB position wont be open come spring practice.
I saw devin gardner at elite 11. he looked good.

speakin of spread O, I cant wait to see Barry Brunetti in that WVA offense

 

[N41D]

They talkin about nobody in intimidated by Taylor Mays...

 

[jville819]

ESPN has been going in on T.Mays recently. I forget who it was but gunna was talking about somebody just rippin him a couple days ago talking bout USC passD isaverage and it starts with him
