He's strong enough, he's fast enough and he's played at a high level -- not at an SEC level, of course, but at a pretty big stage winning state championships. He's a solid football player.

It's great to see my dad honored. In every way, he's a really, really great teacher.

They're bringing in some studs on the offensive line. If you put Andre Smith on that class, that's just the cherry on top.

They are still loaded at the wide receiver position. It doesn't hurt to lose a couple of guys.

This could very well be my last year of carrot growing.

You're getting the tail end of those storms through Central California, and that's similar to precipitation outlooks for the next three months.

After you win 10 games (or more) four years in a row, you can go out and recruit nationally.

Normally, I would see a guy the size of Brandon Spikes and say he's definitely playing for the defensive end position, but there are a few exceptional athletes out there who can play at that size. I think Brandon Spikes is one of those guys.

I usually don't doubt a coach when he goes in-state and gets guys like that so early. The coaches usually can see something in players like that and they knew what they wanted right away. When you think about problems with Florida's recruiting class, corner is one of the last things to come to mind.

They addressed some big needs at running back and wide receiver. But the offensive linemen, I don't think anybody had heard of before Mississippi State started recruiting them.
