Bag O' Cash = Recruiting Genius
On the heels of
Chad Battles' recent commitment to the Orange, I've decided to create a recruiting log for reference purposes. While
Scout.com and
Rivals.com are terrifically sleazy at profiting off of high school athletes, the following is a filtered approach to seeing where the Orange are at in its 2007 recruiting effort.
Eventually (tomorrow?), I'll put together a roster chart for the 2007 football season so that a clearer illustration of depth and needs can be seen.
