Nothings too Early..

Lane Kiffin is at it again. Most coaches are rolling out film on the next class of players to start recruiting, Kiffin however has decided to fast forward and receive a verbal commitment from 13-year old QB David Sills.

That's right, Lane Kiffin, the man who has bent almost any and every rule when it comes to recruiting, has landed the staple of his 2015 recruiting class. Sills who trains with personal coach Steve Clarkson, is seen by some as the second coming of Jimmy Clausen, the Lebron James of football.

People shouldn't forget that Kiffin had already received a verbal commitment from at 13-year old when he was at Tennessee. S Evan Berry brother of All-American and future top-ten pick S Eric Berry committed to the Vols last June. Since then Lane Kiffen has spurned Tennessee and is now coaching at USC.

David Sills and his parents should be very cautious of there commitment, because in Lane Kiffin's world a lot can happen in 5-years.

Bringing in and committing your program to a kid 5-years away could provide some problems for Kiffin's staff. It could be very difficult to bring in a QB prospect in the next couple of years with the thought that Sills is destined to start his first year.


Shifting to FAU....

AD Craig Angelos announced that there shouldn't be any changes to the out of conference schedule for the upcoming season. This comes unfortunate because FAU might be faced with less than 5 home games. Road trips at USF, Texas, UAB and Michigan State in Detroit should be difficult tasks.

Mike Jarvis and his squad fell last night to North Texas 86-69 and is now 0-3 in the North Texas's Super Pit. The Owls are living and dying with the three pointer and last night the jet lag got to them as they were only 2 of 13 from behind the arc. Hopefully the team can refocus for the game Saturday in Denver.

QB Rusty Smith and TE Jason Harmon will be playing in the Texas vs The Nation game tom morrow at 2 pm on CBS Sports. Both Smith and Harmon are looking to become the first FAU player to be drafted in the NFL draft.

FAU Basketball commit G Brett Comer will be in the "Burrow" tonight playing in a nationally televised event. The game will place Pine Crest HS vs Winter Park HS and is displaying stars Brandon Knight and Austin Rivers. ESPN 2- 7 p.m.
