I know in years past the athletic department has put up a highlight tape of all the recurits, I assume it's the same thing people see at the recruit party. I was just wondering if anyone knew when that highlight tape would be put up?

Maybe it's just me and my "ancient" dialup system, but I found the hilites to be almost useless, except to see the actual faces behind the names...the film jumps around on my setup and there is no continuity to it. The kids lines up at DE for example, winds up in backfield, but there's no way to tell how he got there... It's better than nothing, I guess, but I was disappointed that I was unable to "follow the action" from start to finish.

it streamed fine for me, some guys were easier to follow than others. Looks like we have some strong hard nosed athletes coming to bg next fall.

That's not your dial up, that is just the level of recruits we are bringing in. Just wait till next year when Gradkowski hits the ground before the ball even reaches him in the shot gun!!!!

Hey, be glad yours actually loads. It's telling me the file can't be found or is out of date or something along those lines.

I got the same message and had to try three or four times before it finally loaded. When it did, it was a constant stop & start process, with a lot of time spent buffering. I couldn't only make it through the first two before I had had enough. Wish we could just download the thing to our desktop.

Trying to watch it on dial up is probably a waste of time.
I like that WR from Florida a lot. On one play, the kid lines up slot right, crosses the field as the ball is thrown wide left and accelerates as he heads 15 yards downfiled to flatten some poor kid with a great block. You have to love that kind of unselfish play.
That Frericks kid looks like a bowling ball on speed.
Cordelle Thompson reminds me of Burkes. He may not be the biggest LB, but he brings it...hard.
The coaches look for offensive linemen who can move and stay on their feet. Watch how these kids move downfield and watch how they can change direction quickly. That's why they were recruited instead of a bunch of lard assed hogs.
Pollard and Mahoney look close to being ready.
If this is the sixth best class in the MAC like CFN says, the MAC is about to get a huge influx of talent.

Agreed Flipper, except that Cordelle Thompson reminds me more of T.J. Carswell, except faster.
Him, Antonio Smith, and Aaron Davis are the three that really stuck out in my mind. Those three have amazing speed. I can't wait to see these guys suit up for the Orange and Brown. After watching this a couple times i realize that all these guys can HIT! Man Aaron Davis's downfield blocking is amazing. And Stephon Thompson can lay the wood. I defintely recommend to watch this video with cable or dsl. The dial-up version doesn't work to well.
