Campus Confidential

By Adam Abramson

Last year's signing day was filled with videos from the various Tribune affiliates. This year...not so much. But then again, Signing Day has been a little more subdued than last year.

The Orlando Sentinel had several videos of prospects signing their letters of intent, but nothing worth posting on here. So the result is no videos.

Some highlights from the day:

-- Terrelle Pryor is going to hold off on signing. Rumors came out this week he was a "lock" to Ohio State, but Mike Farrell of Rivals says his father really likes Penn State, a campus he's yet to officially visit. When Rich Rodriguez went to Michigan, I said it wouldn't shock me to see him end up there, a stance I'll keep. I know, I'm flip flopping like Hillary Clinton on immigration.

-- Julio Jones is headed to Alabama, with the rest of every other good prospect south of the Mason-Dixon line. That's no real surprise. Bama ended up with seven of Rivals' top 100 players. Today was a huge day for Nick Saban and his staff, locking up Jones, Jerrell Harris (LB) and Marcel Dareus (DT) and holding on to Tyler Love (one of the nation's top OL prospects).

-- All of that action by Alabama crushed Auburn's Signing Day spirit. The Tigers still have a pretty impressive boat, but they scored only one four-star prospect from a very talented senior Alabama prep class. Call me crazy, but the Iron Bowl just became revitalized today (not htat it needed a revitalization).

-- The big action of the day was Colorado scoring Darrell Scott, the nation's top running back. Scott had wavered between Texas and the Buffs like crazy. But on Wednesday he chose his path: "Dan Hawkins has a vision and I want to be a part of the vision he has. Hopefully, we can pull in a national championship." This is a huge score for Hawkins, who already coaches Scott's uncle, Josh Smith, a freshman wide receiver. As for Texas, they scored a solid class, but it's the first time they're out of the top 10 in a few years. I wouldn't expect much of a dropoff, however.

-- Clemson was a big winner on Signing Day, landing Dwayne Allen. The tight end, a South Carolina native, had originally locked on with Georgia early in the process, but kept his options open. Some thought Allen would end up a Dawg when it was all said and done, but he's a Tiger. Couple him with DaQuan Bowers, Andre Ellington, Brandon Thompson or any other of the 10-or-so four-stars they ended up with, and you have one impressive class.

-- Rutgers had another solid recruiting effort with a class led by Long Island product Scott Vallone (DT). Art Frost, coupled with Anthony Davis from last year's class, will give the Scarlet Knights a lot of talent up front for years to come. And Keith Stroud will be a home run hitter for Greg Schiano, averaging over 20 yards per catch while prepping at Fork Union this year.

-- Sam McGuffie, a YouTube legend, had long been a verbal commit to Michigan. The Texas running back did not sign an LOI today and is considering Cal. Watch this kid's video. He has some moves, but I don't know if those moves would work on James Laurinaitis or Sean Lee.

-- Lastly, did you hear about this? If someone duped this kid, what a shame (although it's kind of funny). If he wanted to pull a stunt, then it's pretty funny, but I'd imagine some repercussions.
