One who got away...
Rising national BCS powerhouse South Carolina has been buzzing about a transfer from Columbia... no, not Columbia, SC, but our own beloved CU.
Punter Michael Williamson, who surprised us a couple of years ago by leaving Morningside Heights, is now considered the top punter for the Gamecocks and was even named the most improved player of the SC spring practice!!
You know you have to be pretty good to get that kind of recognition when you're a punter.
The good news for Lions fans is rising junior Paul Delaney was pretty darn impressive punting the ball for most of last season and was a standout in the spring game last week as well.
Coach Mangurian's assessment of the special teams overall should debut today on his personal blog.
Adams' Big Weekend
The way the NFL drags out the draft process these days, you have to think this is an excruciating time for Jeff Adams as he has to wait until Saturday to find out if he will be drafted in the final rounds.
Of course, we will all be watching carefully tomorrow and I will tweet and blog any Adams news as soon as it breaks.
Remember, getting a Lion drafted and on a real NFL roster in the coming months would be a crucial boost to recruiting and help Columbia's image immensely.
This is worth rooting for every but as much as a regular season game!
Ranking Recruits?
An outfit called "College Sports Madness" has ranked all the known incoming recruits for football.
The top Ivy recruit on the list, coming in all the way up there at #2 overall, is WR Cameron Countryman who is headed to Penn.
But the #3 Ivy recruit is Columbia's Alec Davison, the LB from Sugarland, TX.
Now Davison was one of my top-rated recruits as well, but as many people have pointed out this list is highly arbitrary and it's hard to figure the methodology.
And yet, you can't fault them for also recognizing very promising incoming Lions like OL Austin Stock, DL's Niko Padilla and Daren Napier, and QB Trevor McDonagh.

With the candor that Coach Mangurian has used in his blog about the offense and defense, I imagine the "discussions" during practice and team meetings must be very interesting. If he achieves nothing else in his blog, he has put all the players on notice that he will discuss good and bad with names. These mentions I hope achive the desired result.
