First surprise of the day? Are there many more to come?

This is not official yet. The Texas Tech board and Rivals national board is saying it, but he doesn't announce for another 10 minutes or so. We don't have any paperwork yet.

This isn't a "surprise"...Blake was 50/50 the whole time. Big pickup.

Maybe his school has the fax running on 28k. Every school district has had to make cutbacks somewhere.

He may have just become my favorite signee.

(That and a $1.07 will get him a double cheesburger.)

I was very impressed with his interview.

i think this may be my favorite also. this kid is one of the sharpest tools in our shed as it pertains to our recruiting class.

This kid is exceptional. He was asked some tough questions and answered them all with tact and grace.

Much better than showing up in court with another school's colors, imho.
