Today is national signing day for high school seniors. Here's a few highlights from our class.

Our incoming class is good, but not great. We are lacking that one outstanding talent which would put us over the edge.

We received a signing day switch from Michael Carter, Tyrone Carter's cousin (of All America/Gophers/Steelers fame) who is one of the top rated corners nationally. He's from the Miami area and held offers from each of the Big Three, so I'm pretty fired up about this acquisition. We are looking alarmingly thin at CB into the future (both starters are seniors next year) so a prep corner is just what the doctor ordered. 5'11" 154 though, protein bar anyone?

Hayo Carpenter is a JUCO WR with legit 4.4 speed, top receiever in the JUCO ranks this year and looks to be the much needed deep threat to complement Decker next year. I'm puzzled why he turned down an offer to replace Percy Harvin.

Hasan Lipscomb is a 210 back out of Texas who runs a 4.3. Sick. Boasts offers from most of the Big 12 plus LSU. I'm interested to see if he can break the logjam at our RB depth chart.

My favorite pick up in this class has to be Ra'Shede Hageman. This 6'6" 250 Minneapolis Washburn standout was a rare breed of Minnesota preps to resist the in home offerings of the Sweater Vest, Meyer and Fat Charlie. He is freakishly athletic and built in the exact mold of Matt Spaeth (of Mackey award/Gopher/Steeler fame). I'm excited to see what Brewster can do with him at the TE position.

Finally, following in the proud footsteps of underachievers like Ryan "Physics Ace" Ruckdashel and John "White Lightning" Shevlin, the nancy boy high school I hold a diploma from has produced another mediocre D1 talent. Matt Garin is a classic example of daddies' money in the recruting game, waiting around, shopping film, attending camps nationally all to pick up offers to make your dick look bigger to your girl friend before pulling the trigger to your home town school. He's projected at weak side DE, but at 6'4" 220, he'll need to hit the OCB four times daily to survive one quarter in the Big 10.

Looking ahead to next year, the man of the hour is Sentreal Henderson. This man child has been ordained as the #1 recruit nationally by both major scouting services. Cretin Derim Hall will throw its legs open faster than AEGA's mother to host Smilin' Pete, Fat Charlie and every other coach in D-1 football, all on a quest for his signature. Time for Brother Brewster to man up and show why he deserves a contract extension.
